Thank You for Choosing harman kardon® Products!
In the years since harman kardon engineers invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have taken to heart this philosophy: Bringing the joy of home entertainment to as many people as possible, adding performance and ease-of-use features that enhance the experience. The BDS series of home entertainment systems offers a complete home entertainment solution with a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek receiver. Each BDS series system also includes a 5. 1-channel, 2. 1-channel or soundbar loudspeaker system, a system remote control and all the cables and accessories you need to enjoy movies and music in your own home, when you use them with your television or video display. [. . . ] This ability allows you to combine learned commands with programmed codes, making the remote capable of controlling more than one Aux component. Typical Aux components would be your TV, a satellite receiver or a cable receiver. The remote will control the Aux component(s) only when the Aux source button has been pressed. Pressing any other source button will put the remote back into the BDS receiver control mode. TV, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source in the Aux Component Remote-Control Code List, on page 30. Press and hold the Aux button for three seconds as it turns red, goes dark and turns red again. Aim the remote toward the component you just turned on and enter a code number from Step 1, above. If the component turns off, check that its own remote-control buttons control the component as expected. The button will flash three times and the remote will exit the programming mode. If any of the buttons do not work as expected, or if the device does not turn off when you enter the code number, repeat Step 4 with another code number from the list for that manufacturer. If you run out of codes, you can search through all of the codes in the remote's library for that product type.

1. Place the BDS remote and the remote from which you want it to learn codes headto-head about 1 inch (2. 5cm) apart, with their IR transmitter windows facing each other. Press and hold the Settings button on the BDS receiver remote for more than three seconds. Press the button on the BDS receiver remote to which you want to teach the command. The Learn mode will remain active for 20 seconds after the button is pushed. Press the button on the other remote that you want to "teach" to the BDS receiver remote. When the IR code has been received and stored, the Aux button's LED will flash three times, and the BDS receiver remote will remain in the learning mode, ready to learn another code. If no IR code is received within 20 seconds, the Aux LED will flash rapidly several times, and the remote will exit the learning mode. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each command you want to teach the BDS receiver remote. NOTE: If the Aux button's LED goes out at any time, you will need to begin again from Step 2.

Programming Remote Control "Punch-Through" Commands
After programming the remote to control an auxiliary (Aux) component, you can also program it so it will control the Aux component's channel up/down and transport functions (Play, Pause, etc. ) even when the remote is not in the Aux-control mode. For example, if the remote is programmed to operate your TV in the Aux control mode, you can also have the TV's channel +/ functions "punch through" and operate even when the remote is in the Disc, Radio or iPod control modes. Press and hold the button for the main device the remote will be operating. [. . . ] Replace all three remote-control batteries with fresh ones, and make sure that they are installed with the correct polarity. Check that the receiver's remote sensor is in the line of sight of the remote control. Check that you have pressed the remote's Aux button before trying to operate the component. Re-program and/or re-teach the component's commands into the remote.
