13 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Main Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 320’s remote
may be programmed to control up to eight
devices, including the AVR 320. Before using the
remote, it is important to remember to press the
Input Selector Button e that corresponds
to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR 320’s remote is shipped from the factory to
operate the AVR 320 and most Harman Kardon
CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The
remote is also capable of operating a wide vari-
ety of other products using the control codes
that are part of the remote. Before using the
remote with other products, follow the instruc-
tions on pages 37–41 to program the proper
codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of
the buttons on the remote take on different
functions, depending on the product selected
using the Device Control Selectors. The descrip-
tions shown here primarily detail the functions
of the remote when it is used to operate the
AVR 320. (See page 39 for information about
alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
a Power Off Button: Press this button to
place the AVR 320 or a selected device in the
Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the
main room functions, but if the Multiroom sys-
tem is activated, it will continue to function.
b IR Transmitter Window: Point this win-
dow towards the AVR 320 when pressing buttons
on the remote to make certain that infrared com-
mands are properly received.
c Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color
indicator is used to guide you through the
process of programming the remote or learning
commands from a remote into the AVR 320’s
remote code memory and it is also used as a
level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet
capabilities. (See page 24 for more information
on setting output levels, and see page 37 for
information on programming the remote.)
d Power On Button: Press this button to
turn on the power to a device selected by press-
ing one of the
Input Selectors e.
e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these
buttons will perform three actions at the same
time. First, if the AVR 320 is not turned on, this
will power up the unit. Next, it will select the
source shown on the button as the input to the
AVR 320. Finally, it will change the remote con-
trol so that it controls the device selected. After
pressing one of these buttons you must press
the
AVR Selector Button f again to oper-
ate the AVR 320’s functions with the remote.
f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will
switch the remote so that it will operate the
AVR 320’s functions. If the AVR 320 is in the
Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 320 on.
g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to
select the AVR 320’s tuner as the listening
choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is
already in use will select between the AM and
FM bands.
h 6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input:
Press this button to select the device connected
to the
6-Channel Direct Inputs ª or the 8-
Channel Direct Inputs
‚. (See page 33 for
more information.)
i Test Button: Press this button to begin
the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 320’s
output levels. (See page 24 for more information
on calibrating the AVR 320.)
j Sleep Button: Press this button to place
the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time
shown in the display, the AVR 320 will auto-
matically go into the Standby mode. Each press
of the button changes the time until turn-off in
the following order:
Note that this button is also used to change
channels on your TV when the TV is selected.
When the AVR 320 remote is being programmed
with the codes to operate another device, this
button is also used in the “Auto Search” process.
(See page 37 for more information on program-
ming the remote.)
k Surround Mode Selector: Press this
button to begin the process of changing the
surround mode. After the button has been
pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to select
the desired surround mode. (See page 28 for
more information.) Note that this button is also
used to tune channels when the TV is selected
using the device
Input Selector e.
When the AVR 320 remote is being pro-
grammed with the codes of another device, this
button is also used in the “Auto Search”
process. (See page 37 for more information on
programming the remote.)
l Night Mode: Press this button to activate
the Night mode. This mode is available in spe-
cially encoded digital sources, and it preserves
dialog (center channel) intelligibility at low
volume levels.
m Channel Select Button: This button is
used to start the process of setting the AVR 320’s
output levels to an external source. Once this but-
ton is pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to
select the channel being adjusted, then press the
Set Button p, followed by the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
n again, to change the level setting. (See page
32 for more information.)

Buttons: These multipurpose but-
tons are used to change or scroll through items
in the on-screen menus, make configuration
settings such as digital inputs or delay timing,
or to select surround modes. When changing a
setting, first press the button for the function or
setting to be changed (e.g., press the
Surround Mode Selector k to select a
soundfield mode or the
Digital Select Button
q to change a digital input) and then press
one of these buttons to scroll through the list
of options or to increase or decrease a setting.
The sections in this manual describing the indi-
vidual features and functions contain specific
information on using these buttons for each
application.
o
‹
Button: This button is used to change
the menu selection or setting during some of
the setup procedures for the AVR 320.
p Set Button: This button is used to enter
settings into the AVR 320’s memory. It is also
used in the setup procedures for delay time,
speaker configuration and channel output level
adjustment.
q Digital Select: Press this button to assign
one of the digital inputs
*Ó to a
source. (See page 29 for more information on
using digital inputs.)
r Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a
ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset
positions. They are also used to select channel
numbers when TV, Cable or SAT has been
selected on the remote, or to select track num-
bers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on
how the remote has been programmed.
s Tuner Mode: Press this button when the
tuner is in use to select between automatic
tuning and manual tuning. When the button is
pressed so that the
AUTO Indicator X goes
out, pressing the
Tuning Buttons u)

will move the frequency up or down in single-
step increments. When the FM band is in use,
pressing this button when a station’s signal is
weak will change to monaural reception. (See
page 31 for more information.)
t Direct Button: Press this button when
the tuner is in use to start the sequence for
direct entry of a station’s frequency. After press-
ing the button, simply press the proper
Numeric Keys r to select a station. (See
page 32 for more information on the tuner.)
