the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR’s remote is shipped from the factory to
operate the AVR 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 50-51
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 Selector Button
