Volume Punch-Through; Channel Control Punch-Through; Resetting The Remote Memory - Harman Kardon AVR 130 Owner's Manual

NOTE: All programming for the remote codes needed
to operate specific devices, such as a TV, DVD, cable
box, satellite receiver or VCR, should be completed
before programming punch-through commands.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 130's remote may be programmed to oper-
ate the Volume Control 37 and Mute
tions of either the TV or the AVR 130 in conjunction
with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For
example, since the AVR 130 will likely be used as the
sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have
the AVR 130's volume activated, although the remote
is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 130 or TV volume
control may be associated with any of the remote's
devices. To program the remote for Volume Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e for the unit you will
be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have Volume
Punch-Through to your audio system active and the
Mute Button 40 at the same time until the red
light appears under the Input Selector e and
note that the Program Indicator c will flash
amber.
2. Press the Volume Up Button
37
the Program Indicator c will stop flashing and
stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector f or the Input
Selector e, depending on which system's
volume control you wish to have attached for the
punch-through mode. The Program Indicator c
will blink green three times and then go out to con-
firm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR 130's volume control
activated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the VID2/TV Input Selector
40
e and the Mute Button
at the same time.
Next, press the Volume Up Button
by the AVR Input Selector f.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to the
original configuration after entering a Volume Punch-
Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown
above. However, press the same Input Selector in
Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 130's remote may be programmed to operate
so that the channel control function for either the TV,
cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be
used in conjunction with one of the other devices con-
trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a
cable box or satellite receiver without having to change
the device selected by the AVR 130 or the remote. To
program the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through,
follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector Button e for the device
you will be using (e.g., VCR) when you wish to have
Channel Punch-Through active and the Mute
Button 40 at the same time until the red light
40 func-
appears under the Input Selector e and the
Program Indicator c flashes amber.
2. Press the Volume Down Button
Program Indicator c will stop flashing and stay
amber.
3. Press and release the Input Selector Button e
for the device that will be used to change the chan-
nels. The Program Indicator c will blink green
three times and then go out to confirm the data
entry.
Example: To control the channels using your Cable
Box or Satellite Receiver while the remote is set to
control the VCR, first press the VID1/VCR Input
Selector Button e and the Mute Button
at the same time. Next, release them and press the
and note that Volume Down Button
VID2/TV Input Selector Button e.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through
and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat
the steps shown above. However, press the same but-
ton in Steps 1 and 3.
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR 130's remote may be programmed to operate
so that the Transport Control Functions ` (Play,
Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a
VCR, cassette deck, DVD or CD will operate in conjunc-
tion with one of the other devices controlled by the
remote. For example, while using and controlling the TV,
, followed you may wish to start or stop your VCR without having
37
to change the device selected by the AVR 130 or the
remote. Note, however, that the remote is factory pre-
set so that the Transport Controls ` are pro-
grammed with the codes for Harman Kardon DVD
players, and no further programming is required to use
a Harman Kardon DVD player when the AVR controls
are active after the AVR Selector f has been
pressed. To program the remote for Transport Control
Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e for the device you
will be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have
Transport Control Punch-Through active and the
Mute Button
40
light appears under the Input Selector e and the
Program Indicator c flashes amber.

Example: To control the transport of a VCR while the
remote is set to control the TV, first press the VID2/TV

Button `, followed by the VID1/VCR Input
Selector e.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through
and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat
the steps shown above. However, press the same but-
ton in Steps 1 and 3.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home theater system,
40
occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the
remote control without the confusion of any commands,
37 , followed by the
macros or "Punch-Through" programming that you may
have done. To do this, it is possible to reset the remote
to the original factory defaults and command codes by
following these steps. Note, however, that once the
remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have
entered will be erased and will need to be reentered:
1. Press any of the Input Selector Buttons e and
2. Press the "3" Button r three times.
