10 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Main Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 140’s remote may
be programmed to control up to seven devices,
including the AVR. 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 AVR’s remote
is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR and
most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cas-
sette decks. The remote is also capable of operat-
ing 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 37-39 to program the prop-
er codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the
buttons on the remote take on different
functions, depending on the product selected
using the Input Selector Button
4. The
descriptions shown here primarily detail the func-
tions of the remote when it is used to operate the
AVR. (See page 40 for information about alter-
nate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
0 Power Off Button: Press this button to
place the AVR or a selected device unit in the
Standby mode.
1 IR Transmitter Window: Point this window
towards the AVR when pressing buttons on the
remote to make certain that infrared commands are
properly received.

tor is used to guide you through the process of
programming the remote. (See page 37 for infor-
mation on programming the remote.)
3 Power On Button: Press this button to turn
on the power to a device selected by pressing one
of the Input Selectors

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.

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 6-Channel/8 Channel Direct Input:
Press this button to select the device connected to
the 6-Channel Direct Inputs or the
8-Channel Direct Inputs
9 (the input
available will depend on the selection 5.1 or
6.1/7.1 made in the surround mode setting,
see page 28 for more information).
8 Test Tone: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to calibrate the AVR’s output levels.
(See page 23 for more information on calibrating
the AVR).
9 Sleep Button: Press this button to place the

the display, the AVR will automatically go into the
Standby mode. Each press of the button changes
the time until turn-off in the following 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
the appropriate source is selected, using the
device Input Selectors
