Remote Control

OWNER'S MANUAL
Power for the Digital Revolution.
Introduction
Harman Kardon's USR 1 is a full-featured, eight-
device remote control that is specially designed
as a replacement for the remote controls used
with most Harman Kardon components manu-
factured since 1995, along with some products
produced before 1995. In addition to the codes
used for operating Harman Kardon products, the
USR 1 may be programmed with the commands
for most contemporary home entertainment
products, either from the extensive built-in code
library, or via a simple "learning" technique,
regardless of brand. To further extend the
flexibility of the USR 1, it may also be "taught"
the codes for most infrared remote controls even
when they are not in the built-in library. Discrete
controls are available for operating the transport
functions of CD, DVD and tape machines, and
users may create up to five macro command sets
for automating frequently repeated actions.
NOTE: Although every effort has been
made to include all features and
functions available on the original
remotes, in some instances not all
functions will be available. In cases
where you still have the original,
working remote, you may attempt to
program individual button codes into
the USR 1 using the method described
later in this manual.

Installing the Batteries

To install the batteries, first remove the cover
on the back side of the remote by placing your
thumb on the round indented area on the
battery compartment cover. Gently push down
and then up away from the remote. The cover
will slide off.
Place the three AAA batteries in the
compartment as shown in the diagram below,
being certain to observe the "+" and "–"
polarity indications on the batteries and in
the bottom of the compartment.
To replace the cover, place it in the grooved
edges of the compartment side. Then, gently
slide the cover down towards you until you
hear and feel the latch click as indication of
a secure closure.
When the remote will not be used for a
significant length of time (over a few weeks)
it is always a good idea to remove the batteries
to prevent the possibility of damage to the
remote due to corrosion or leakage.
When replacing batteries, always replace all
three at the same time and observe any local
regulations that may apply in your area with
regard to the proper disposal of used batteries.
We recommend the use of high-quality alkaline
batteries in the USR 1.
