ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
You may reassign the transport control punch-through programming for
the AVR, VID2 and VID3 devices to other devices, such as CD. If you
wish to remove transport control punch-through altogether for the AVR,
VID2 or VID3 device, follow the same procedure as for programming
punch-through, but in Step 3 press either of the other two of these three
special selector buttons. For example, to remove punch-through trans-
port control from the VID3 device so that pressing any of the transport
controls will have no effect in that device mode, press and hold VID3
until the Program Indicator Program LED flashes in amber, then press
the Play button, followed by either the AVR or VID2 Button.
Macros
Macros are used to program sequences of up to 19 commands that
are executed with a single button press. Macros are well suited for
power on and off commands, or to send out a favorite multidigit channel
number with one button press, or to have the ability to send out a code
sequence to control another device while the remote is operating one
device, but with more flexibility than the built-in punch-through controls.
Some commands may not be programmed into macros: Mute, Dim,
Channel Up/Down, or any of the surround mode commands.
NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated macros. It
isn’t possible to program a pause or delay before sending com-
mands after Power On, and the component may not be ready
to respond to commands instantaneously after powering on.
To program, or “record” a macro, follow these steps:
1. Simultaneously press and hold one of the four Macro Buttons (or the
Power On Button) and the Mute Button to enter Program mode.
2. Press the Input (or AVR) Selector for each device before you enter
commands to be transmitted to that device. This step counts as one
of the 19 commands allowed for each macro.
NOTE: Even if you previously switched one of the dual-source
Input Selectors (DVD/CD, TAPE/THE BRIDGE, HDMI 1/HDMI 2)
to the primary or secondary source prior to programming the
macro, the remote always requires you to press any of these
selectors once to program the macro to select the primary
source and twice for the secondary source.
3. For the Power On command, DO NOT press the Power On Button.
Press the Mute Button instead.
4. Press the Power Off Button to program the Power Off command.
5. Press the Sleep Button to end the programming process.
It isn’t possible to “edit” a command within a macro. However, you may
erase the macro as follows:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the Mute Button and the Macro
Button containing the macro until the Program LED flashes.
2. Press the Surround Button to erase the macro.
Resetting the Remote
To reset the remote to its factory defaults, simultaneously press and hold
any Input Selector and the “0” Numeric key. When the Program LED
flashes in amber, enter the code “333”. When the green LED goes out,
the remote will have been fully reset.
Processor Reset
There may be instances when you wish to fully reset the AVR 247 to its
factory defaults, or the unit may behave erratically after a power surge.
To correct erratic behavior, first try turning the Master Power Switch off
and unplugging the AC power cord for at least three minutes. Plug
the cord back in and turn the receiver back on. If this doesn’t help,
try a system reset.
NOTES:
• A system reset erases all user configurations, including
speaker and level settings and tuner presets. After a reset,
you will need to reenter all of these settings.
• The RS-232 Reset Button on the rear panel of the AVR 247
does not perform a system reset. DO NOT press the RS-232
Reset Button.
To reset the AVR 247, place the receiver in Standby mode (press the
front-panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber).
Then press and hold the front-panel Tone Mode Button for at least five
seconds until the RESET message appears in the display.
If the receiver still does not function correctly after a processor reset,
contact an authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance.

Memory
If the AVR 247 is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will
retain user settings for up to four weeks.
