NOTE: The function names shown here are each
button’s feature when used with the AVR. Most
buttons have additional functions when used
with other devices. See page 27 for a list of these
functions.

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS  11

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 200RDS’s remote
is shipped from the factory to control all of the
functions of the AVR, as well as most Harman
Kardon CD, DVD and cassette players (See more
information on page 26).

Because of the versatility of the remote, each
button may have different functions, depending
on which product is being controlled. The
descriptions shown here describe the function
of the buttons for the AVR, as well as the most
popular accessory source products.

a Device Selectors: Pressing these buttons
will perform three different actions at the same
time. First, if the AVR is not turned on, pressing
the button will power up the unit. Next, it will
select the source shown on the button as the
unit’s input source. Finally, pressing the button
will activate the control buttons for the device
selected.

b AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button
to select the AVR’s tuner as the listening choice.
Pressing this button when a tuner is in use will
select between the AM and FM bands.

c Main Power Off Button: Press this but-
ton to place the unit in the Standby mode.

d Sleep Button: Press this button to place
the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time
shown in the display, the AVR 200RDS will
automatically go into the Standby mode. Each
press of the button changes the time until turn-
off in the following order:

Press and hold the button for two seconds to
turn off the Sleep mode setting.

e Night Mode/Dim Button: Press this but-
ton to activate the Night mode. This mode is
available when DVD (the typical source for
Dolby Digital Recordings) is selected, combined
with any digital input and the Dolby Digital
mode (See page 21), and it preserves dialog
(center channel) intelligibilty at low volume 
levels. With all other input sources or modes
selected this button will dim the display or turn
it off.

f Tuner Mode: When the FM band is in use,
press this button to change between MONO
and STEREO modes. When the MONO indica-
tor is lit, all stations will play in the mono mode
only. Press the button to turn off the MONO
indicator to put the unit an automatic mode
which will select stereo when a station is broad-
casting in stereo. When the signal strength is
weak, press the button to go to the Mono mode
for better reception.

g Disc-Skip Button: When the tuner is in
use and this button is pressed, the tuner auto-
matically scans through the stations entered in
the preset memory. Moreover this button is
used with many CD changers after the 
CD Button a has been pressed to change
the disk being played.

h DVD Function Buttons: These buttons do
not have any function on the AVR, but they are
used with many DVD players or changers after
the DVD Button a has been pressed to
change subtitle, angle or audio mode. They are
also used with dual-well cassette or CDR play-
ers to select the playback mode.

i Play/Up Button: When the AVR’s FM
tuner is in use press this button to start the
Auto Preset Memory function (See page 22 for
more information). Moreover it is used as the
Play or Up/▲ function with many products.

j Title/CDP Button: This button does not
have any function on the AVR but it is used with
many DVD players as the Title button, and on
dual-well CD-R recorders to select the play-only
transport.

k Stop/Enter Button: This button does not
have any function on the AVR but it is used with
many products as the “Stop” button or to enter
a setting with their on-screen menu system.

l Tune Down/Rewind Button: When the
AVR’s tuner is in use, press this button to tune
down through the frequency band in use to
select another station. Press the button for a
few seconds and then release it to automati-
cally tune to the next station with a signal that
provides acceptable reception. This button is
also used as the rewind button for many CD
players, DVD players and cassette players.

m Pause/Down Button: This button does
not have any function on the AVR but it is used
as the Pause or Down/▼ function with many
products.

n Preset-Down/Channel-Down Button:
When the AVR’s tuner is in use, press this but-
ton to scroll down through the list of stations 

that have been entered into the preset memory.
When a CD or DVD player is in use, this button
is the Skip-Back function.

o Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a
ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset
positions. They are also used to select track
numbers on a CD or DVD player.

p Speaker Select: Press this button to
begin the process of configuring the AVR
200RDS’s Bass Management System for use
with the type of speakers used in your system.
Once the button has been pressed, use the

‹

/

›

selector buttons r to select the channel

you wish to set up. Use the Set button t and
the 

‹

/

›

selector buttons r to configure the

speaker and to select another channel to con-
figure. (See page 16 for more information.)

q Channel-Select Button: Press this button
to begin the process of setting the output-level
trims when program material is being used as
the source. (See page 25 for more information
on setting the output level trims.)

Select Buttons: These buttons are

used to scroll through the list of settings when
adjustments are being made to the speaker 
configuration, delay time settings, digital input
selection and other AVR setup procedures.

s Test Tone: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to calibrate the AVR 200RDS’s
output levels. (See page 17 for more informa-
tion on calibrating the AVR 200RDS.)

t Set Button: This button is used to enter
settings into the AVR 200RDS’s memory. It is
also used in the setup procedures for delay
time, speaker configuration and channel output-
level adjustment.

u Digital Input Select: Press this button to
assign one of the digital inputs ›fi to a
source. (See page 20 for more information on
using digital inputs.)

v Clear Button: This button is used during
the process of clearing preset stations from the
tuner’s memory. (See page 22 for more informa-
tion on erasing the preset stations.)

w Memory Button: Press this button to

AVR’s preset memory system. (See page 22 for
more information on the preset memory 
system.)
