Multiroom Operation
When operating the
AVR 435 from a remote room
location where an IR sensor link has been connected
to the AVR 435’s rear panel
Multiroom IR Input f,
you may use either the main remote control or the
Zone II remote
. To turn on the multiroom feed, press
the
A
VR Selector
e
∫
to tur
n the unit on to the
last source, or any of the other
Selector Buttons
ç∂
dXh to turn on to a specific source.
As long as an IR feed to the
AVR 435 has been
established from the remote room, using any of the
buttons on either remote will control the remote loca
-
tion volume

.
If the
Remote IR Output Jack h on the AVR 435
is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible
Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD
or cassette players, the transport functions of those
machines may also be controlled using the
Transport
Controls
tu
ƒ©˙∆
on either
remote control.
To turn the system off from the remote room, press
the
Power Off Button a
å
. Remember that the
AVR 435 may be turned on or off from the remote
room, regardless of the system’s operation or status in
the main room.
NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for
the remote zone, any change to the frequency or pre-
set will also change the station being listened to in the
main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if
someone in the main room changes the station,
the
change will also have an impact on the remote room.
T
o tur
n on the Multiroom system from the main listen
-
ing room,
which is necessary before any A-BUS prod-
ucts connected to the AVR may be used, press the
Multiroom Button
Q
on the remote.When the
MULTI ON/OFF message appears in the
on-screen display and the
Lo
wer Display Line
$,
press the
Set Button q and then press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button o so that display changes to
MULTI ON. Press the Set Button q again to
activate the setting
.
Note that this method may be
used to turn the Multiroom system on or off even
when the AVR is in the Standby mode in the main
listening room.
When the Multiroom system is turned on, the input
selected using the Multiroom menu will be fed to the
Multiroom
Audio Outputs
j on the rear panel as
well as the
A-BUS Connector ∞.The volume will be
as set in the previous selection, although it may also be
adjusted using an optional IR sensor and the Zone II
remote in the remote location, or the A-BUS keypad,
or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to
the
Multiroom
Audio Outputs
j.
Although changes to the input source or remote room
volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in
the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is
also possible to change those settings from the main
listening room. This is useful for situations where some
or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor,
or to take control over the remote room without actu-
ally being in that room.
In addition to using the
MULTIROOM menu, as
shown on the previous page, you may change the
source or volume in the remote zone using the
remote. Press the
Multiroom Button ` on the
remote, and when the
MULTI ON/OFF mes-
sage appears in the on-screen display and the
Lower
Display Line
$, press the Set Button q and
then press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button o to
toggle past that message to
MULTI LEVEL or
MULTI INPUT.
To change the remote room’s input source, when
MULTI INPUT appears, press the Set Button
q, and then press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
o until the desired input appears in the on-screen
display and in the
Lower Display Line $.
Remember that only analog or PCM input sources
may be selected for use with the Multiroom system.
Dolby Digital or DTS sources are not available to the
Multiroom system.
T
o change the remote room’
s volume, when
MULTI LEVEL appears, press the Set Button
q, and press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button o
to change the volume setting. Note that this volume
adjustment controls the level for the output to the
Multiroom
Audio Outputs
j
and for any speakers
connected to the
Surround Back/Multiroom
Speaker Outputs
‚ when the Surround Back am-
plifier channels are configured for Multiroom use
,
as
shown on page 41. This adjustment does NOT change
the volume level for any room where an A-BUS
module is used, as that setting is only adjustable using
the A-BUS module’s volume control or a remote
pointed at the A BUS module’s built-in sensor.
Once the Multiroom system is turned on, it will remain
on even if the AVR 435 is placed in the Standby
mode in the main room by pressing the
P
o
wer Off
Button
å
or the Main P
ower Switch
Aon the
front panel.
The Multiroom system will remain on even if the unit is
turned off in the main room. In that event, although
front-panel indicators and the accent lighting around
the volume control will turn off, a
MULTI ON
message will remain in the Lower Display Line $
and the lighting around the Standby/On switch will
remain blue when the unit is in the Standby mode in
the main room to remind you that power is still applied
to the unit, and that it is being used for Multiroom
operation elsewhere in the house. Remember that if
you tur
n the unit completely off by pressing the Main
Power Switch
A, the feed to the second zone will
also be turned off.
When the
AVR 435 is turned off in the main room,
the Multiroom system may be tur
ned on at any time
by pressing the
Multiroom Button `, or any of the
Selector Buttons
∫ç∂
in the remote room.
