Zone Ii Remote Control Functions - Harman Kardon AVR 350 Owner's Manual

ZONE II REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The Zone II remote is a simplified device for use in the remote room
of a multiroom system with an IR receiver connected to the Multiroom
IR Input or an A-BUS device. It may be used to control the power,
volume and mute functions for the remote zone; select a source input
for the remote zone and control a compatible Harman Kardon DVD, CD
or tape player that is connected to one of the AVR's Remote IR Outputs.
The Zone II remote may also be used in the main listening room to
directly control the AVR 350 and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape
players. In that case the power, volume and mute controls will affect
only the main listening area.
The Zone II remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are
installed in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Gently
pull down on the tab at the top of the battery compartment cover and
pull the cover off the remote. Make sure to observe proper polarity by
matching the + and – symbols on the remote to the corresponding
symbols printed inside the compartment.
IR Transmitter:
This button-shaped lens emits infrared codes when
buttons on the remote are pressed. Make sure it is pointing toward the
IR receiver when in the remote room, or the component being operated
when used in the main listening room.
Power Off:
Press this button to turn off the AVR 350. The Zone II
remote has no Power On Button, since the AVR turns on its multiroom
system automatically when any of the Input Selectors is pressed, even
if the AVR itself is in Standby mode. When in the main listening room,
press any Input Selector or the AVR Selector to turn on the AVR 350,
as you would when using the main system remote.
Mute:
Press this button to mute the AVR 350's remote zone speakers
temporarily. To end the muting, press this button or adjust the volume,
or turn off the multiroom system. Unless the remote is used in the main
listening area, only the remote zone will be affected.
AVR Selector:
Press this button to switch the remote to the AVR
device mode. It will also turn on the multiroom system if it was off.

Input Selectors:
Press one of these buttons to select a source
device for the remote zone. It will also turn on the multiroom system
and switch the remote to operate the source device. You may select a
different source device than is in use in the main room. If you select the
same source as the main room, then any commands sent to the source,
such as changing radio stations or skipping tracks on a CD, will affect
both zones.
AM/FM/XM Radio:
Press this button once to select the tuner as
the source for the remote zone, which will also turn on the multiroom
system. The last-used band will be active. Press the button repeatedly
to switch to the desired band. In order to listen to XM Radio, you must
have purchased and activated an XM antenna module and subscribed
to the XM Radio service. Visit www.xmradio.com for more information.
Preset Up/Down – Track Skip:
as the source, these buttons may be used to scroll through the radio
stations previously stored as presets, as described in the Using the Tuner
section. When a CD or DVD player or an iPod docked in The Bridge is
in use, these buttons may be used to skip forward or backward through
the tracks or chapters on a disc.
Tuning Up/Down – Fast Play:
as the source, these buttons may be used to tune a radio station. They
will function in auto or manual tuning mode, depending on the current
status of the AVR. It is not possible to change the tuning mode from the
remote room using the Zone II remote. When a CD or DVD player, tape
deck or an iPod docked in The Bridge is in use, these buttons may be
used to fast-play forward or backward within a track.
Play, Stop, Pause:
These buttons have no effect on the AVR, but
may be used to operate many source devices.
Disc Skip Up/Down:
These buttons have no effect on the AVR
or a single-disc DVD or CD player, but may be used with some disc
changers to skip to another loaded disc.
Volume Controls:
Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume
in the remote zone.
