Macro Programming; Programmed Device Functions - Harman Kardon AVR 247 Owner's Manual

Programming the Remote
Example: One blink, followed by a one-second
pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one-
second pause, followed by four blinks indicates
that the code has been set to 164.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR's remote control.
Once programmed, a macro will send out up to
19 different remote codes in a pre-determined
sequential order enabling you to automate the
process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The AVR's
remote can store up to five separate macro
command sequences, one that is associated with
the Power On button 3, and four more that
are accessed by pressing the Macro buttons
U.
1. To start programming a macro, press the
Mute button c and the Macro button U
to be programmed or the Power-On button
3 at the same time. Note that the latest
selected Input Selector will light red, and the
Program Indicator 2 will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to 19
steps, each button press, including those used to
change devices, counts as a step. The Program
Indicator 2 will flash green twice to confirm
each button press as you enter commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power On
of any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute button c. DO NOT press the Power ON
button 3.
• Remember to press the appropriate Input
Selector button 4 before functions are
changed to another device. This is also needed
for the AVR Selector button 5 itself, as long
as it's not lit red and AVR functions shall be
programmed.
3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the Sleep button 9 to enter the commands.
The red light under the Input Selector
45 will blink and then turn off and the
Program Indicator 2 will flash green twice
to confirm the macro to be programmed.
52 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Example: To program the Macro 1 U button
so that it turns on the AVR, TV and a Sat-Receiver,
follow these steps:
• Press the Macro 1 button U and Mute c
buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the Program Indicator 2 will
flash amber.
• Press the AVR Selector 5.
• Press the Mute c button to store the AVR's
power on command.
• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button 4 to
indicate the next command is for "TV".
• Press the Mute c button to store the TV
Power On Command.
• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 4
to indicate the next command is for "Sat-
Receiver".
• Press the Mute c button to store the Sat-
Receiver Power On command.
• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button 9 to
complete the process and store the macro
sequence.
After following these steps, each time you press
the Macro 1 button U, the remote will send
all Power On commands.
Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been
programmed into one of the Macro buttons,
follow these steps:
1. Press the Mute button c and the Macro
button U that contains the commands you
wish to erase.
2. Note that the Program Indicator 2 will
flash amber, and the red LED under the Input
Selector 45 last used will turn on.
3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround
Mode Selector/Channel Down button A.
4. The red LED under the Selector will go out,
and the Program Indicator 2 will turn
green and flash three times before it goes out.
5. When the Program Indicator 2 goes out,
the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR's remote has been programmed
for the codes of other devices, press the
appropriate Input Selector 4 to change the
remote from control over the AVR to the
additional product. When you press any of these
buttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that
you have changed the device being controlled.
When operating a device other than the AVR,
the controls may not correspond exactly to the
function printed on the remote or button. Some
commands, such as the volume control, are the
same as they are with the AVR. Other buttons
will change their function so that they
correspond to a secondary label on the remote.
For example, the Sleep and Surround mode
selector buttons also function as the Channel Up
and Channel Down buttons when operating
most TV sets, VCRs or Sat-Receivers.
For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables printed on page 54-55. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being
controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the
remote control diagram on page 54. Note that
each button has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example,
button number 44 is the"Direct" button for the
AVR, but it is the "Favorite" button for many
cable television boxes and satellite receivers.
Button number 30 is the Delay button for the
AVR, but the Open/Close button for CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the
button functions above and on page 54 for the
purposes of describing how a button operates
are a different set of numbers than those used in
the rest of this manual to describe the button
functions for the AVR.
Notes on Using the AVR
Remote With Other Devices.
• Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it is
important that you check to see if the code set
you have entered operates as many controls as
possible. If it appears that only a few functions
operate, check to see if another code set will
work with more buttons.
• Depending on the brand and product type
used the functions listed in the Function List
tables may not correspond with the function the
unit reacts on the command. In these cases it's a
good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into
the corresponding line of the table or to set up a
separate list.
• When a button is pressed on the AVR remote,
the red light under the Input Selector 45
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.
