Volume Punch-Through; Channel Control Punch-Through; Transport Control Punch-Through; Reassigning Device Control Selectors - Harman Kardon AVR 230 Owner's Manual

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
• When a button is pressed on the AVR 230 remote,
the red light under the Input Selector ef for
the product being operated should flash briefly. If
the Device Control Selector flashes for some but
not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT
indicate a problem with the remote but rather that
no function is programmed for the button being
pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 230's remote may be programmed to oper-
38
ate the Volume Control and Mute
tions of either the TV or the AVR 230 in conjunction
with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For
example, since the AVR 230 will likely be used as the
sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have
the AVR 230's volume activated, although the remote
is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 230 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 wish
to have associated with the volume control and the
Mute Button at the same time until the red
42
light appears under the Input Selector e; the
Program/SPL Indicator c will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up Button 38
SPL 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/SPL Indicator
c will blink green three times and then go out to
confirm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR 230's volume control
activated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector
e and the Mute Button 42
at the same time.
Next, press the Volume Up Button
by the AVR 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 230'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

3. Press and release the Input Selector Button e
for the device that will be used to change the chan-
nels. The Program/SPL 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 VID 1/VCR Input
Selector Button e and the Mute Button
at the same time. Next, release them and press the
Volume Down Button

the steps shown in the example above. However, press
the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 230's remote may be programmed to operate
so that the Transport Control Functions ` (Play,
Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a
VCR, DVD or CD will operate in conjunction with one of
the other devices controlled by the remote. For exam-
ple, while using and controlling the TV, you may wish to
start or stop your VCR or DVD without having to change
the device selected by the AVR 230 or the remote. To

Reassigning Device Control Selectors

, followed by the VID 2/
The Input Selectors e are normally programmed
to operate the product category shown on the remote
above the button, but they may also be reassigned to
operate a second device of another type. The excep-
tion is the Video 3 Input Selector e (labeled
"CBL/SAT") which may be programmed to operate
any device in the remote's library.
To program the remote so that the codes from one
product category are reassigned to a button where
those codes are not normally associated (such as
programming the Video 2 button, whose default is for
the TV codes, to operate a second VCR or a personal
video recorder), follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e you wish to reassign
and the Mute Button
the red light appears under the Input Selector e
and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes
amber.
2. Press the Input Selector e for the device you

LED under the reassigned Input Selector will flash
three times and then go out.
