12 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 125’s remote may be
programmed to control up to seven devices, including
the AVR 125. Before using the remote, remember to
press the
Input Selector Button e that corre-
sponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR 125’s remote is shipped from the factory to oper-
ate the AVR 125 and most recent Harman Kardon
products. 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
27–30 to program the proper codes for the products
in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the but-
tons on the remote take on different functions, depend-
ing 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 AVR 125. (See pages 31–32 for information about
alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
a Power Off Button: Pressing this button turns off
(places in the Standby mode) the device that was last
selected by pressing one of the
Input Selectors e.
To place the AVR 125 in the Standby mode, first press
the
AVR Selector Button f and then press this
button.
b IR Transmitter Window: Point this window
towards the AVR 125 when pressing buttons on the
remote to make certain that infrared commands are
properly received.
c Program Indicator: This three-color indicator is
used to guide you through the process of program-
ming the remote. (See pages 27–30 for information
on programming the remote.)
d Power On Button: After selecting a device by
pressing one of the
Input Selectors e, press this
button to turn the device on. To turn on the AVR 125,
press the
AVR Selector Button f.
e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons
will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the
AVR 125 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 125. Finally, it will change the
remote control so that it controls the device selected.
After pressing one of these buttons you must press
the
AVR Selector Button f again to operate the
AVR 125’s functions with the remote.
f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the
remote so that it will operate the AVR 125’s functions. If
the AVR 125 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the
AVR 125 on.
g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select
the AVR 125’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing
this button when the tuner is already in use will switch
between the AM and FM bands.
h Test Button: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to calibrate the AVR 125’s output levels.
(See pages 18–19 for more information on calibrating
the AVR 125.)
i Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit
in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display,
the AVR 125 will automatically go into the Standby
mode. Each press of the button changes the time until
turn-off in the following order:
This button is also used to change channels on your
TV when the TV is selected, and it is also used to end
the process of creating a macro command. (See page
28 for more information on creating macros.)
j Surround Mode Selector: Press this button to
begin the process of changing the surround mode.After
the button has been pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons
mq to select the desired surround mode. (See
page 22 for more information.) This button is also
used to tune channels when the TV is selected, and
during the process of erasing stored macro com-
mands. (See page 28 for more information on
macros.)
NOTE: The Sleep Button i and Surround Mode
Selector
j may also function as the Channel +
and – keys when the remote is programmed for use
with TVs, cable boxes,VCRs, satellite receivers or other
video devices with tuners. See page 29 for information
on programming the remote for Channel Control
Punch-Through capability so that you may change
channels on a separate device when the remote is
in AVR mode.
k Night Mode: Press this button to activate the
Night mode. This mode is available in specially encod-
ed digital sources to preserve dialog (center channel)
intelligibility at low volume levels.
l Channel Select Button: This button is used to
start the process of setting the AVR 125’s output levels to
an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons mq to select the channel being
adjusted, then press the
Set Button o, followed by
the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons mq again, to change the level
setting. (See page 25 for more information.)
m

change configuration settings such as output levels.
When changing an item such as the surround mode or
digital input directly, first press the function or mode to
be changed (e.g., press the
Surround Mode Selector
j to select a surround mode or the Digital Select
Button
p to change the digital input) and then press
this button to scroll through the list of available choices.
n
‹

setting during some of the setup procedures for the
AVR 125.
o Set Button: This button is used to enter settings
into the AVR 125’s memory. It is also used in the
setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration
and channel output level adjustment.
p Digital Select: Press this button to assign one of
the digital inputs
·c#$ to the source currently
in use. (See page 23 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 has been selected on the remote, or to select track
numbers 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. In automatic tuning mode, the
AUTO Indicator
