Harman-Kardon AVR80 Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
Multiroom Operation
34
ENGLISH
To activate the remote room feed, press
the MULTI button on the front panel9.
This will send the signal of the AVR80’s
currently selected input source to the
remote room at the volume level
established in SET UP MENU 2.
The MULTIindicator on the front panel
display will flash to indicate that the
multiroom system is turned on in the
variable mode, and that Source Linking
is in effect. With Source Link, any change
to the AVR80’s input selection will also
change the feed to the remote room
locations. If the input source is changed
from the remote room, the MULTI
indicator will remain lit, but stop
flashing.
If the AVR80 is turned off in the main
listening room, the feed to the remote
room will continue, although the
MULTI indicator will now remain
constantly illuminated.
To turn off the feed to the remote room
either while the AVR80 is still on, or after
it is turned off, press the MULTI button
on the front panel. If the MULTI button
is pressed while the AVR80 is still on and
the on screen video system is engaged, a
warning message will appear on the
video display (Figure #18) to remind you
that people may still be listening to the
system in the remote room location.
Remote Room Operation
In this option, the remote room feed is
controlled by the use of an AVR80
compatible remote control. The remote
commands must be transmitted to the
AVR80 via a coaxial link connected to the
MULTI input œ on the AVR80’s rear
panel.
Using the remote control in the second
room press the POWER ON button to
turn on the remote room feed. This will
activate the multi room portion of the
AVR80 whether or not it may be on in the
main listening room.
The initial feed to the remote room will
be the last station selected by the tuner.
Any other AVR80 input source may
subsequently be selected using the source
buttons on the remote control.
The initial volume at the remote room
will be the level established using the
options in SET UP MENU 2.
If IR connections have been made to the
source playback equipment, it is also
possible to control the functions of those
units via the second room remote.
Consult with your dealer or custom
installer for additional information on
this type of installation.
When the remote room is controlling the
AVR80 via the IR link, the MULTI
indicator on the AVR80’s front panel will
remain constantly lit.
NOTE: Whenever the AVR80 is in a
multiroom mode, the MULTIindicator
will flash briefly whenever a command is
transmitted by the remote room location
and received by the AVR80.
The AVR80 may also be remoted by a
keypad (from Audio Access). Therefore
connect the keypad interface to jack π
on the AVR80´s rear side.
