Remote Control Functions

12

The

AVR45RDS’s remote may be
programmed to control up to eight
devices, including the AVR45RDS.
Before using the remote, it is
important to remember to press the

button 

a b that corresponds to the unit
you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR45RDS’s remote is shipped 
from the factory to operate the
AVR45RDS and Harman Kardon CD
players and cassette decks. The
remote is also capable of operating a
wide variety of other products. Before
using the remote with other products,
follow the instructions on pages
31–32.

It is also important to remember that
many of the buttons on the remote
take on different functions, depen-
ding on the product selected using
the Device Control Selectors. The
descriptions shown here primarily
detail the functions of the remote
when it is used to operate the
AVR45RDS.

Press this button

to use the remote control for
operation of the AVR45RDS. Note
that the button will briefly turn red
after it has been pressed to confirm
your selection.

b

Press

one of these buttons to use the
remote to control the functions of
another audio/video device. Note that
the button will briefly turn red after it
has been pressed to confirm your
selection. (See pages 31–34 for
information on programming the
AVR45RDS’s remote to operate these
devices.)

Press this button to

momentarily silence the AVR45RDS or
TV set being controlled, depending on
which device has been selected.

When the AVR45RDS remote is being
programmed to operate another
device, this button is pressed with the

button 

b

to begin the programming process.
(See page 31 for more information on
programming the remote.)

Press this button to begin

the sequence used to calibrate the
AVR45RDS’s output levels. (See page

memory. It is also used in the setup
procedures for delay time, speaker
configuration and channel output
level adjustment. (See pages 18–22
