WWW.HARMANKARDON.COM

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

Your Harman Kardon®CP Series system combines the superior
performance and practical flexibility of high-quality separate audio/video
components with the convenience of a complete system in one carton.
You will need to provide a video display or television, but you may also
add almost any source device, ranging from a cassette deck or VCR all
the way up to the latest digital cable or satellite television set-top box
(or even products that may be released in the future).

The single RCP 7 remote replaces the original remotes supplied with
the AVR 347 receiver and DVD 48 DVD player. Although the RCP 7
operates both products, along with a host of other products you may
have added to your system, this manual describes a few differences
from the original remotes.

To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new home theater
system, we urge you to read this manual, as well as the manuals
included with the system components, and refer back to it as you
become more familiar with its features and their operation. If you
have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation,
please contact your retailer or custom installer, or visit our Web site
at www.harmankardon.com.

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The RCP 7 remote is capable of controlling 11 devices, including the
AVR 347 and the DVD 48 included in the CP 65 system. During the
installation process, you may program the codes for each of your source
components into the remote. Each time you wish to use the codes for
any component, first press that component’s selector. This changes the
button functions to the appropriate codes for that product.

NOTE: Several of the Input Selectors are shared between two
devices. The selector button will light in red when the remote is in
the device mode printed on the button, and it will light in green for
the device mode printed above the button. To switch between the
two device modes, press the selector
The selector will remain in the last-selected mode until the next
time you press it twice quickly.

For example, the first time you press the DVD Button, the button
will light in red, indicating that the remote is in DVD mode. If you
press another selector, such as the VID3 Selector, and then press
the DVD Button again, the DVD Button will remain red, indicating
the remote is still in DVD mode. Now press the DVD Button twice
quickly. At the first press the Button will light in red, indicating that
the remote is in DVD mode. On the second press the button will
turn green, indicating that the remote is now in CD mode. If you
press a different selector and return to the DVD/CD Selector, you
will observe that the remote is still in CD mode.

Each Input Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain types
of components, with only the codes specific to each brand and model
changing, depending on which product code is programmed. The
device types programmed into each selector (except HDMI 1 and 2)
may not be changed.

these functions, with the receiver’s functions shown in gray, and the
DVD player’s functions shown in blue. For example, the Sleep and DSP
Surround Buttons are labeled for use as Channel Up/Down Buttons
when controlling a television or cable box. See Table A1 in the Appendix
for listings of the different functions for each type of component.
