Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 3000’s remote
may be programmed to control up to seven
devices, including the AVR 3000. Before using
the remote, it is important to remember to press
the Input Selector button

that corre-
sponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addi-
tion, the AVR 3000’s remote is shipped from the
factory to operate the AVR 3000 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 36 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 func-
tions, depending on the product selected using
the Input Selectors. The descriptions shown here
primarily detail the functions of the remote when
it is used to operate the AVR 3000. (See page 40
for information about alternate functions for the
remote’s buttons.)

EzSet Sensor Microphone: The sensor
microphone for the EzSet microphone is behind
these slots. When using the remote to calibrate
speaker output levels using EzSet, be sure that
you do not hold the remote in a way that covers
these slots. (See page 23 for more information
on using EzSet).
