12 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
