12 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Main Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR5000’s remote may
be programmed to control up to seven devices,
including the AVR5000. Before using the remote,
it is important to remember to press the Input
Selector button
4
that corresponds to the
unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR5000’s remote is shipped from the factory to
operate the AVR5000 and most Harman Kardon
CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The
remote is also capable of operating a wide vari-
ety of other products using the control codes that
are part of the remote or by learning commands
from other remotes. Before using the remote with
other products, follow the instructions on pages
39 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 AVR5000. (See page 44
for information about alternate functions for the
remote’s buttons.)
0
Power On Button: Press this button to
turn on the power to a device selected by pressing
one of the Input Selectors
4
(except Tape).
1
IR Transmitter Window: Point this window
towards the AVR5000 when pressing buttons on
the remote to make certain that infrared com-
mands are properly received.
2
Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color
indicator is used to guide you through the
process of programming the remote or learning
commands from a remote into the AVR 5000’s
remote code memory and it is also used as a
level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet
capabilities. (See page 24 for more information
on setting output levels, and see page 39 for
information on programming the remote.)
3
Power Off Button: Press this button to
place the AVR5000 or a selected device unit in
the Standby mode. Note that when the AVR5000
is switched off this will turn off the main room
functions, but if the Multiroom system is activat-
ed, it will continue to function.
4
Input Selectors: Pressing one of these
buttons will perform three actions at the same
time. First, if the AVR 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.
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
5
again to operate the
AVR’s functions with the remote.
5
AVR Selector: Pressing this button will
switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR’s
functions. If the AVR is in the Standby mode, it will
also turn the AVR on.
6
AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to
select the AVR’s tuner as the listening choice.
Pressing this button when the tuner is in use will
select between the AM and FM bands.
7
Learn Button: Press this button to begin
the process of “learning” the codes from another
product’s remote into the AVR5000’s remote. (See
page 40 for more information on using the
remote’s learning function.)
8
Test Tone: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to calibrate the AVR5000’s output
levels. (See page 24 for more information on
calibrating the AVR5000.)
9
Sleep Button: Press this button to place
the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown
in the display, the AVR5000 will automatically
go into the Standby mode. Each press of the
button changes the time until turn-off in the fol-
lowing order:
Hold the button pressed for two seconds to turn
off the Sleep mode setting.
Note that this button is also used to change
channels on your TV, VCR and SAT receiver when
selected.
A
Surround Mode Selector: Press this but-
ton to begin the process of changing the sur-
round mode. After the button has been pressed,
use the
⁄

buttons
D
to select the desired
surround mode (See page 29 for more informa-
tion). Note that this button is also used to tune
channels when the TV, VCR and SAT receiver is
selected using the Input Selector
4
.
B
Night Mode: Press this button to activate
the Night mode. This mode is available only with
Dolby Digital encoded digital sources, and it pre-
serves dialog (center channel) intelligibilty at low
volume levels (See page 31 for more informa-
tion).
C
Channel Select Button: This button is
used to start the process of setting the
AVR5000’s output levels with an external
source. Once this button is pressed, use the

.
Next press these buttons to scroll up or down
through the list of surround modes that appear
in the Main Information Display
Û
. These
buttons are also used to increase or decrease
output levels when configuring the unit with
either the internal test tone or an external
source. They are also used to enter delay time
settings after the Delay button
T
has been
pressed.
When the AVR5000 remote is being programmed
for the codes of another device, these buttons are
also used in the “Auto Search” process (See page
39 for more information on programming the
remote.)
E
‹
Button: This button is used to change
the menu selection or setting during some of the
setup procedures for the AVR.
F
Set Button: This button is used to enter
settings into the AVR5000’s memory. It is also
used in the setup procedures for delay time,
speaker configuration and channel output level
adjustment.
G
Digital Select: Press this button to assign
one of the digital inputs
RS#%
to a
source. (See page 30 for more information on
