REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Mute Button: Press to mute the AVR 760/AVR 660’s speaker and 
headphone outputs. To end the muting, press this button, adjust the volume, 
or turn off the receiver.
Channel/Page Control: When the tuner has been selected, this control 
changes the station. When using The Bridge II or a USB drive, this control 
allows you to scroll a page at a time through a long list of content. While 
operating a cable, satellite or HDTV set-top box or a television, press these 
buttons to change channels.  
Transport Controls: These buttons are used to control source playback. 
Record Button: Use this button to make recordings when an audio or 
video recorder is in use. 
AVR Settings/Remote Menu Button: Press to display the AVR’s Main 
Menu, or to switch the remote to AVR device mode. Press and hold for 3 
seconds to access the menu for the remote control. The menu commands and 
options will appear in the LCD Display. 

The functions are: program the codes for a device, learn codes for an 
individual key, change the device type of a selector, program an activity 
(macro), program punch-through functions for channel control or transport 
control, rename a device or a key’s function, change the brightness of the 
back light, reset the remote to its factory-default status, or exit the remote 
menu. See the Initial Setup section for details on programming the remote, 
and see the Advanced Functions Manual for further information.
Info Settings Button: Press to display the AVR’s Info Menu, which 
contains the settings for the current source.
Source Settings Button: Press a Source Selector and then this button to 
display a source device’s settings menu.
Sleep Settings Button: Press to activate the sleep timer, which turns 
off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to 90 minutes. 
Each press decreases the timer by 10 minutes, ending with the “Sleep Off” 
message.
Zone Selector: Use this switch to select whether AVR commands will 
affect the main listening area (Zone 1) or the remote zone of a multizone 
system (Zone 2). For normal operation, leave the switch in the Zone 1 
position.

The Zone 2 remote control is used in the remote zone of a multizone system 
with an IR receiver connected to the Zone 2 IR Input or an A-BUS device. It 
may be used to control the power, volume and mute functions or to select 
a source input for the remote zone, and to control a Harman Kardon source 
connected to one of the AVR’s Remote IR Outputs or the A-BUS IR Output. 

The Zone 2 remote may also be used in the main listening room to directly 
control the AVR 760/AVR 660 and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape players. 
When the Zone Selector is pressed to switch the remote to Zone 1 mode (the 
Zone Indicator will turn green), the power, volume and mute controls will 
only affect the main listening area. To control operation for the remote zone, 
press the Zone Selector so that the Zone Indicator turns red.

The Zone 2 remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are installed 
in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Make sure to observe 
proper polarity by matching the + and – symbols on the batteries to the 
symbols printed inside the compartment.

The following explanations describe the buttons that are not similar in 
function to the main remote control, or are found on the Zone 2 remote 
control only. For explanations of all other Zone 2 remote control functions, 
see the descriptions above that cover functions that are common to the two 
Remote Controls as well as functions available on the Main Remote Control 
only.
Power: Press to turn the AVR 760/AVR 660 on or off. The AVR also turns 
on its multizone 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 760/
AVR 660.
Zone Selector and Zone Indicator: Each press of the Zone Selector 
determines whether the AVR commands will affect the main listening area 
(Zone 1) or the remote zone (Zone 2). The Zone Indicator will turn green when 
Zone 1 has been selected, and red for Zone 2. The Zone Indicator will also light 
briefly whenever any button is pressed.

These symbols shown on the product, the packaging or in the manual or 
separate information sheet mean that the product itself, as well as the 
batteries included or built into the product, should never be thrown away 
with general household waste. Take them to suitable collection points, where 
proper treatment, recycling and recovery take place, in accordance with 
national or local legislation, or European Directives 2002/96/EC and 2006/66/
EC.

Correct handling of the product and batteries to be disposed of helps to 
save resources and prevents possible negative effects on the environment or 
human health.

The batteries included with your equipment may be Alkaline, Carbon Zinc/
Manganese or Lithium (button cells) type. All types should be disposed of 
according to the above instructions.

To remove the batteries from your equipment or remote control, reverse the 
procedure described for inserting batteries in the Owners Manual.

For products with a built-in battery that lasts for the lifetime of the product, 
removal may not be possible for the user. In this case, recycling or recovery 
centers handle the dismantling of the product and the removal of the 
battery. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to replace such a battery, this 
procedure must be performed by authorized service centers.
