12 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 430’s remote may
be programmed to control up to eight devices,
including the AVR 430. Before using the remote,
it is important to remember to press the
Input
Selector Button
3
that corresponds to the unit
you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 430’s
remote is shipped from the factory to operate the
AVR 430 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD
players and cassette decks. The remote is also
capable of operating a wide variety of other products
using the control codes that are part of the remote.
Before using the remote with other products, follow
the instructions on pages 40 – 49 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
Input
Selectors
d. The descriptions shown here primarily
detail the functions of the remote when it is used to
operate the AVR 430.
a Power Off Button: Press this button to place
the AVR 430 or a selected device in the Standby
mode. Note that this will turn off the main room
functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated,
it will continue to function.

Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons
will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the
AVR 430 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 430. Finally, it will change the

sequence used to calibrate the AVR 430’s output
levels. (See page 26 for more information on calibrat-
ing the AVR 430.)
g DSP Surround Mode Selector: Press this
button to select one of the DSP surround modes, such
as VMAx, Hall 1, Hall 2 or Theater. Each press of the
button selects another mode. (See page 31 for more

changes, the display will always return to full bright-
ness when the AVR is turned on. The blue illumination
around the
Standby/On Switch 1 will always
remain at full brightness regardless of the setting to
remind you that the AVR is still turned on. The blue
accent lighting inside the volume control will also
remain at full brightness when the panel is at 50%,
but go out when the panel lights are fully dimmed.
