STEP EIGHT – Program Sources Into the
Remote
The AVR 160 remote may be programmed to control many brands and models
of DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, the Harman Kardon DMC 1000
digital media center and TVs.
To access the functions for a particular device, switch the remote’s device
mode. Press the AVR Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or
the Source Selector Buttons to access the codes for the devices programmed
into the remote.
While the DVD Source Selector may be used to operate either a Harman
Kardon Blu-ray Disc player or a DVD player, the default mode is to operate
a Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc player. To toggle between Harman Kardon
Blu-ray Disc player and DVD player operation, press and hold the DVD Source
Selector for 2 seconds. The source selector will flash twice to confirm that the
remote’s mode has changed to operate the other type of disc player.
NOTE
: The remote may be easily programmed to operate the Harman
Kardon DVD players using the Video 1 or any of the HDMI Input Selectors,
by following the instructions below. Select the VCR/PVR/DMC device type
in number 4. Enter code 002.
If you have other source devices in your system, follow these steps to program
the correct codes into the remote.
Using the codes in Tables A11–A17 of the Appendix, look up the product 1.
type (e.g., DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source. The
number(s) listed is/are potential candidates for the correct code set for
your particular device.
Turn on your source device.2.
This step places the remote in program mode. Press and hold the Source 3.
Selector until the Program Indicator LED on the remote starts to flash,
then release it. When pressed, the Source Selector will light red briefly, go
dark, and then relight when the Program Indicator LED starts to flash.
Program the desired device type for any of the three HDMI selectors by 4.

umber 1 above.
If the device turns off, then press the Source Selector again to accept the
a)
code; it will flash. The remote will exit the Program mode.
If the device does not turn off, try entering another code. If you run out of
b)
codes, you may search through all of the codes in the remote’s library
for that product type by pressing the
K
or
L
Button repeatedly
until the device turns off. When the device turns off, enter the code
by pressing the Source Selector; it will flash. The remote then exits
Program mode.
Once you have programmed a code, try using some other functions to control

the device. Sometimes manufacturers use the same Power code for
several different models, while other codes vary. Repeat this process until
you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the
functions you frequently use.
Find out which code number you have programmed by pressing and 7.
holding the Source Selector to enter the Program mode. Press the OK
Button, and the Program Indicator LED will flash in the code sequence.
One flash represents “1”, two flashes for “2”, and so forth. A series of many
fast flashes represents “0”. Record the codes programmed for each device
in Table A7 in the Appendix.
If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your source
device, it will not be possible to use the AVR remote to control that device.
You may still connect the source to the AVR 160 and operate it using the
device’s original remote control.
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function
when used to control the AVR 160. However, the button may perform a very
different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote
Control Function List, Table A10 in the Appendix, for each button’s functions
with the various product types.
You may program Macros, which are preprogrammed code sequences that
execute many code commands with a single button press. You may also
program “punch-through” codes, which allow the remote to operate the
volume, channel or transport controls of another device without having to
switch the remote’s device mode. See pages 35 through 36 for instructions on
these advanced programming functions.
Note
: The AVR 160 remote is preprogrammed to operate the transport
controls of Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc or DVD players when the AVR or the
Video 2 (cable/satellite) or Video 3 (TV) source is selected. You may change
this punch-through programming at any time.
STEP NINE – Turn On the AVR 160
Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 160.
Flip the rear-panel Main Power Switch to the “On” position. The Power 1.
Indicator on the front panel will turn amber, indicating that the AVR is in
Standby mode and is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the
Main Power Switch on, even when the receiver is not being used.
There are several ways to turn on the AVR from Standby mode.2.
Press the Standby/On Switch on the front panel. a)
Using the remote, press the AVR Power On Button or any of the Source b)
Selectors.
NOTES
:
Any time you press one of the Source Selectors on the remote, the

remote will switch device modes. To control the receiver, press the AVR
Button.
