Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory
backup system that preserves tuner pre-
sets and system configuration informa-
tion if the unit is accidentally unplugged
or subject to a power outage. This mem-
ory will last for approximately one week,
after which time all information must be
re-entered.

System Reset
In the rare case where the unit’s opera-
tion or the displays seem abnormal, the
cause may involve the erratic operation of
the system’s memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the
unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at
least three minutes. After the pause,
reconnect the AC power cord and check
the unit’s operation. If the system still
malfunctions, a system reset may clear
the problem.

To clear the entire system memory of the
unit, press and hold the 

^

and

&

buttons until 

CLEAR MEMO

appears in the front panel display.
Release the buttons and note that the
unit will turn off and then on.

Remember that once you have cleared
the memory in this fashion it will be
necessary to re-establish all system
configuration information and tuner
presets.

If the system is still operating incorrectly,
there may have been an electrostatic dis-
charge or severe AC line interference that
has corrupted the memory or micro-
processor.

If a reset does not solve the problem,
consult an authorized Harman Kardon
service depot.

Multiroom Operation

Remote Room Control 
Operation of the AVR85’s multiroom
system from a remote room location 
is very similar to use from the main
room, but it requires prior installation 
of an optional remote infrared sensor, 
as well as the audio power amplifier and
speakers. An additional optional AVR85
remote control unit or a compatible
remote programmed with the AVR85
codes is also required.

1. Using the remote control, press the

button 

h

to turn the receiver on

and activate the multiroom system.

2. If the multiroom system has been set to

VARIABLE

in 

SET UP MENU 4

you

may change the volume or source using
the appropriate volume buttons 
on the remote being used. If the multi-
room volume has been set to 

FIXED

the

volume or source may not be changed.

3. The AVR85’s tuner has been selected 
as the multiroom source you may tune
stations or search presets using a
Harman Kardon compatible remote. If
Harman Kardon compatible components
are connected to the AVR85’s rear panel

jack 

d

the

remote may also be used to control CD
players and cassette decks.

4. To turn the multiroom feed off, press
the 

button 

h

.

NOTE: The multiroom system may also
be operated from the remote control in
either the main room or the remote
location through the 

MULTI ROOM

SELECTOR

function accessed through

the on-screen menu system. After reach-
ing the 

MULTI ROOM SEL

menu (see

figure #18) use the

to select a source. This will automatically
turn the multiroom system on, as indi-
cated by the 

indicator
