Multiroom Operation - Harman Kardon AVR 85 Owner's Manual

Remote Room Control
Operation of the AVR85's multiroom
system from a remote room location
is very similar to use from the main
room, but it requires prior installation
of an optional remote infrared sensor,
as well as the audio power amplifier and
speakers. An additional optional AVR85
remote control unit or a compatible
remote programmed with the AVR85
codes is also required.

Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory
backup system that preserves tuner pre-
sets and system configuration informa-
tion if the unit is accidentally unplugged
or subject to a power outage. This mem-
ory will last for approximately one week,
after which time all information must be
re-entered.
System Reset
In the rare case where the unit's opera-
tion or the displays seem abnormal, the
cause may involve the erratic operation of
the system's memory or microprocessor.
