(See page 39 for more information.)

v OSD Button: Press this button to activate the
On-Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or
adjust the AVR 240’s parameters.

w Dolby Mode Selector: This button is used to
select from among the available Dolby Surround pro-
cessing modes. Each press of this button will select
one of the Dolby Pro Logic II or IIx, or Dolby Virtual
Speaker modes or Dolby 3 Stereo. When a Dolby
Digital-encoded source is in use, the Dolby Digital
mode may also be selected. When the headphones
are in use, this button selects from among the Dolby
Headphone modes. (See pages 34–35 for the avail-
able Dolby surround mode options.)

x DTS Digital Mode Selector: When a DTS-
encoded digital source is selected, each press of this
button will scroll through the available DTS modes. The
specific choice of modes will vary according to whether
or not the source material contains DTS-ES 6.1
Discrete encoding. When a DTS source is not in use,
this button has no function. (See page 34 for the avail-
able DTS digital options.)

y Logic 7 Mode Select Button: Press this button
to select from among the available Logic 7 surround
modes. (See page 34 for the available Logic 7
options.)

z Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not
have a direct function with the AVR 240, but when
used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD
player they will change to the next or previous track.

` Transport Controls: These buttons do not have
any functions for the AVR 240, but they may be
programmed for the forward/reverse play operation
of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or
video cassette recorders. When the DMP
source is in use, these buttons may be used to oper-
ate some functions on a compatible iPod

if it is

docked in The Bridge. See page 40 for more
information on using

When the remote is used to control the AVR, or the
VID2 or VID3 device, by default these buttons are pro-
grammed to operate the DVD player. However, you
may use the Transport Control Punch-Through feature
described on page 46 to program these buttons to
operate another device’s transport controls when the
AVR, VID2 or VID3 has been selected.

R Stereo Mode Select Button: When the button
is pressed so that

SURROUND OFF appears in

the Lower Display Line ı, with only the Surr Off
Surround Mode Indicator ˆ lit, the AVR will oper-
ate in a bypass mode with true, fully analog, two-chan-
nel left/right stereo mode with no surround processing
or bass management, unlike other modes where digi-
tal processing is used. When the button is pressed so
that

SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower

Display Line ı, with both the DSP and Surr Off
Surround Mode Indicators ˆ lit, you may enjoy a
two-channel presentation of the sound along with the
benefits of bass management. Depending on whether
your system is configured for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 chan-
nels, the next press of the button will cause either
5 CH STEREO or 7 CH STEREO to
appear, and the stereo signal will be routed to all five
(or seven) speaker channels. (See page 35 for more
information on stereo playback modes.)

S DTS Neo:6 Mode Select: Press this button to
select a DTS Neo:6 mode. These modes take a two-
channel stereo- or matrix surround-encoded source
and create a full five-, six- or seven-channel sound
field. (See page 34 for the DTS Neo:6 options.)

T Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or
recall a “Macro”, which is a preprogrammed sequence
of commands stored in the remote. (See page 44 for
more information on storing and recalling macros.)

U Disc Skip Button: This button has no direct
function for the AVR 240 but is most often used to
change to the next disc in a CD or DVD player when
the remote is programmed for that type of device.
(See page 45 for more information on using the
remote with products other than the AVR 240.)

V Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use,
press these buttons to scroll through the stations
programmed into the AVR 240’s memory. When
some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and
cassette decks, are selected using the device Input
Selectors e, these buttons may function as
Chapter Step or Track Advance.

W Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect
entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio
station’s frequency.

X Memory Button: Press this button to enter a radio
station into the AVR 240’s preset memory. First, tune
the desired station, and then press this button. Two
underline indicators will flash at the right side of the
Upper Display Line

press the Numeric Keys r for the preset number
between 01 and 30 that you wish to assign to the
station. (See page 39 for more information.)

Y Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin
the process for setting the delay times used by the
AVR 240 when processing surround sound. After
pressing this button, the delay times are entered
by pressing the Set Button p and then using
the

⁄

Buttons n to select

A/V SYNC

DELAY or the delay setting for any available chan-
nel. Press the Set Button p, and then use the

⁄

Z Speaker Select: Press this button to begin
the process of configuring the AVR 240’s bass man-
agement system for use with the type of speakers
used in your system. Once the button has been
pressed, use the

⁄

Buttons n to select the

channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button
p and then use the

⁄

the appropriate speaker size. Press the Set Button
p to enter the new setting, and then use the

⁄

Buttons n again to select another channel to con-
figure. When all adjustments have been completed,
press the Set Button p twice to exit the settings
and return to normal operation. (See page 27 for
more information.) However, Harman Kardon recom-
mends that you first perform the EzSet+ procedure,
as described on pages 24–26.

a Spare Button: This button has no direct function
for the AVR 240, but may be used by other devices.

b Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise
or lower the system volume. By default, the Volume
Up/Down Buttons

b are programmed at the fac-

tory to control the AVR 240’s volume, no matter which
source device has been selected (except TAPE). You
may reprogram these buttons to control the volume of
another device, such as your TV, using the Volume
Control Punch-Through instructions found on
page 46.

c TV/Video Selector: This button does not have a
direct function on the AVR 240, but when used with a
compatible VCR, DVD or satellite receiver, pressing this
button will switch between the output of the device
and the external video input. Consult the owner’s
manual for your specific player or receiver for the
details of how it implements this function.
