The AVR 460/AVR 360 remote is capable of controlling 8 devices, including
the AVR itself and an iPod docked in The Bridge III. During the installation
process, you may program the codes for your source components into the
remote. To operate a component, press its Selector button to change the
device mode.
Each Source Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain types of
components, with only the codes specific to each brand and model changing,
depending on which product code is programmed. The AUX and Cable/
SAT Source Selectors may be used for multiple device types. Other Source
Selectors may be reassigned to other device types (see Initial Setup section).
AUX Source Selector: CD player, VCR, HDTV set-top box, PVD or TiVo®
set-top box. Refer to page 23 for details on Source Selection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All of the AVR 460/AVR 360’s audio and video
inputs are independently assignable. Select the inputs to which the device
is physically connected during Initial Setup. Any device may be connected
to any compatible input and given any name (e.g., DVD or Game).

Most of the buttons on the remote have dedicated functions, although the
precise codes transmitted vary, depending on the device mode. Due to the
wide variety of functions for various source devices, only a few of the most-
often used functions on the remote have been included: alphanumeric keys,
transport controls, television-channel control, menu access, and power on
and off.

Zone 2 remote controL (AVR 460 only)
The Zone 2 remote control is used in the remote zone of a multizone system
with an IR receiver connected to the Zone 2 IR Input or an A-BUS device. It
may be used to control the power, volume and mute functions or to select
a source input for the remote zone, and to control a Harman Kardon source
connected to one of the AVR’s Remote IR Outputs or the A-BUS IR Output.
The Zone 2 remote may also be used in the main listening room to directly
control the AVR 460 and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape players. When the
Zone Selector is pressed to switch the remote to Zone 1 mode (the Zone
Indicator will turn green), the power, volume and mute controls will only
affect the main listening area. To control operation for the remote zone, press
the Zone Selector so that the Zone Indicator turns red.
The Zone 2 remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are installed
in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Make sure to observe
proper polarity by matching the + and – symbols on the batteries to the
symbols printed inside the compartment.
The following explanations describe the buttons that are not similar in
function to the main remote control, or are found on the Zone 2 remote
control only. For explanations of all other Zone 2 remote control functions,
see the descriptions above that cover functions that are common to the two
Remote Controls as well as functions available on the Main Remote Control
only.
Power: Press to turn the AVR 460 on or off. The AVR also turns on its
multizone system automatically when any of the Input Selectors is pressed,
even if the AVR itself is in Standby mode. When in the main listening room,
press any Input Selector or the AVR Selector to turn on the AVR 460.
Zone Selector and Zone Indicator: Each press of the Zone Selector
determines whether the AVR commands will affect the main listening area
(Zone 1) or the remote zone (Zone 2). The Zone Indicator will turn green when
Zone 1 has been selected, and red for Zone 2. The Zone Indicator will also light
briefly whenever any button is pressed.
