INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon®!

Your 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 3 remote replaces the original remotes supplied with
the AVR 144 receiver and DVD 27 DVD player.Although the RCP 3
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.The most significant is the addition of EzSet,
an automatic speaker-level calibration process that enables the receiver
to perform properly without your having to supply additional metering
devices or perform a tedious calibration procedure.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The instructions in this manual on running
the EzSet procedure take the place of Step Four of the Initial
Setup process described in the AVR 144 manual.Although you
may still calibrate the speakers manually if you so desire,we
strongly recommend that you first use the more convenient and
simpler EzSet process.

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 customer installer,or visit our Web site at
www.harmankardon.com.

The RCP 3 remote is capable of controlling seven devices,including
the AVR 144 and the DVD 27 included in the CP 40 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 the Selector button for that component. This
changes the button functions to the appropriate codes for that product.

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 may not be changed.

DVD: Controls DVD players and recorders.The DVD button functions

are labeled in blue on the remote.

CD: Controls CD players and recorders.
Tape: Controls cassette decks.
Video 1: Controls VCRs,TiVo

®

and DVRs.

Video 2: Controls cable and satellite television set-top boxes.
Video 3: Controls televisions and other video displays.

For example, if you have inserted a disc in your CD player and you
would like to skip ahead three tracks,but you then find that the volume
is too loud, you would follow this procedure:

1. Press the CD Input Selector to switch to the codes that control your

CD player.

2. Press the Play Button (in the Transport Controls section) if the disc

is not already playing.

3. Press the Skip Up Button three times to advance three tracks.

4. Press the AVR Button so that you can access the Volume Controls.

5. Press the Volume Down Button until the volume level is satisfactory.

Any given button may have different functions,depending on which
component is being controlled.The buttons are labeled with some of
these functions,with the receiver’s functions shown in white or 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.

NOTE: Although we have described the applicable DVD function
in this section, we strongly recommend that you review the
DVD 27 manual for more information about using these functions.

inadvertently set the scan type to progressive when your video display
or television is not capable of displaying progressively scanned video.
Although your video display may be distorted, you may restore inter­laced scanning by pressing this button.

Disc Skip:This button has no effect on the AVR 144 or the DVD 27,

but is used with some optical disc changers to skip to the next disc.

Macros: These buttons may be programmed to execute long com-

mand sequences with a single button press.They are useful for pro­gramming the command to turn on or off all of your components,or for
accessing specialized functions for a different component than the one
you are currently operating.

Dolby Surround Mode Selector:The first press of this button

will select the last-used Dolby surround mode,and each additional
press will cycle through the variants that are currently available.Not
all modes are available with all sources; see the AVR 144 manual for
more information.

DTS®Surround Mode Selector/A-B Repeat:The first press of

this button will select the last-used DTS Digital mode if DTS processing
is available,and each additional press will toggle between the 2.0 and

5.1 variants.See the AVR 144 manual for more information.
When the DVD player has been selected, this button serves the A-B

Repeat function.The first press while a disc is playing selects the begin­ning of the passage you wish to repeat, and the second press selects
the end of the passage.The selected passage will play continuously until
the A-B button is pressed a third time,or play is stopped.

DTS Neo:6®Surround Mode Selector:The first press of this

button will select the last-used DTS Neo:6 surround mode if it is avail­able,and each additional press will cycle through the variants that are
currently available.See the AVR 144 manual for more information.

Logic 7®Surround Mode Selector/Random:The first press

of this button will select the last-used Logic 7 surround mode if it is
available,and each additional press will cycle through the Cinema, Music
and Enhance modes.See the AVR 144 manual for more information.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button serves the Random
function.When a CD is playing and no playlist is active, each press of
this button turns Random track selection on or off.

Night Mode/Subtitle: Press this button to activate Night mode

with specially encoded Dolby Digital discs or broadcasts.Night mode
compresses the audio so that louder passages are reduced in volume
to avoid disturbing others,while dialogue remains intelligible.

When the DVD player has been selected, this button performs the Subtitle
function. Press it to select a subtitle language or to turn subtitles off.

NOTE: Due to the variations in how DVD discs are authored, the
subtitle languages displayed by the DVD 27 may not accurately
reflect the actual languages available on the disc.It is recom­mended that subtitles be selected using the disc’s menu.

Stereo Modes/Repeat:The first press of this button will select

the last-used Stereo mode,which may be Surround Off or two-channel
processing.Each additional press will toggle between Surround Off
and 5-Channel Stereo.When an analog audio source is in use and
the AVR 144’s tone mode control has been set to Out,you may also
select analog bypass mode,which passes the analog input signal
to the volume control, bypassing digital signal processing. See the
AVR 144 manual for more information.

When the DVD player has been selected, each press of this button
cycles through the available repeat modes,excluding A-B Repeat.

Track Skip:These buttons have no effect on the receiver, but are

used with the DVD 27 and many source components to change tracks
or chapters.

BATTERIES

The RCP 3 remote control uses three AAA batteries,which are included.
To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote,fir mly

press the ridged depression and slide the cover towards the top of
the remote.

Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 1, making sure to observe
the correct polarity.

Figure 1 – Remote Battery Compartment

When using the remote,remember to point the lens toward the front
panel of the AVR 144 or DVD 27. Make sure no objects,such as
furniture,are blocking the remote’s path. Bright lights,fluorescent lights
and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning.
The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting
conditions.It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either
side of the component.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button
on the remote does not cause the AVR Selector or one of the Input
Selectors to light up,then make sure the batteries have been inserted
correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones.

PROGRAMMING SOURCES

Programming Sources

The RCP 3 remote is capable of controlling not only the receiver and
DVD player included in your CP system, but it may also be programmed
to control many brands and models of VCRs,DVD players,CD players,
cable boxes,satellite receivers, cassette decks and TVs.

It may help to think of the remote as a book with pages.Each page
represents the button functions for a different device.In order to access
the functions for a particular device,you first need to turn to that page.
This is done by pressing the AVR Button to access the codes that
control the receiver,or the Input Selector buttons to access the codes
for the devices programmed into the remote.

At the factory,the codes to control the AVR 144 and DVD 27 are
preprogrammed. If you have other source devices in your system, such
as a VCR,or a cable or satellite television set-top box, follow these
steps to program the correct codes into the remote.

1. Using the codes in Tables A2–A8 of the Appendix,look up the
product type (e.g.,DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of your
source.The number(s) listed are potential candidates for the correct
code set for your particular device.

2.Turn on your source device.

3. Put the remote into Program mode by pressing and holding the Input
Selector and the Mute button simultaneously until the LED on the
remote starts to flash, and then releasing the buttons.

Figure 2 – Input Selectors

4. Enter a code from Step 1 above.

a) If the device turns off, then press the Input Selector again to accept

the code,which will flash. The remote will exit the Program mode.

b) If the device does not turn off, try entering another code.If you run

out of codes,you may search through all of the codes in the
remote’s library for that product type by pressing the

⁄ or ¤

button repeatedly until the device turns off.When the device tur ns
off,enter the code by pressing the Input Selector, which will flash.
The remote then exits Program mode.

NOTE: When you enter a valid 3-digit code,the Program Indicator
LED will change color to green. However, entering an invalid code
changes the color of the LED to red.

5. Once you have accepted a code,it’s a good idea to try using some
other functions to control the device.Sometimes manufacturers
use the same Power code for several different models, while other

codes will vary.You may wish to repeat this process until you’ve pro­grammed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the functions
you frequently use.

6.You may find out which code number you have programmed by
pressing and holding the Input Selector and Mute Button simultane­ously to enter Program mode.Then press the Set Button, and the
LED will flash in the code sequence.One flash represents “1”, two
flashes for “2”, and so forth. A series of many fast flashes represents
“0”. Record the codes programmed for each device here.

Table 1 – Remote Control Codes

*

Do not reprogram the DVD Source Selector unless you are replacing
the DVD player included in the CP 40 system with another product.

If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your
source device,it will not be possible to use the RCP 3 remote to control
that device.However,you may still connect the source to the AVR 144
and operate it using the device’s original remote control.Alternatively,
you may wish to consider purchasing Harman Kardon’s optional TC 30
activity-based remote,which is programmed by accessing a large data­base of product codes on the Internet.The TC 30 is also capable of
“learning” codes from your device’s original remote.However,the TC 30
is not equipped with the EzSet feature that automatically calibrates the
system’s speaker levels.

Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function
when used to control the AVR 144 (white or gray labels) or DVD 27
(blue labels). However, the button may perform a very different function
when used to control another device.Refer to the Remote Control
Function List,Table A1 in the Appendix,for a list of each button’s
functions with the various product types.

If you wish, you may program Macros,which are preprogrammed
code sequences that execute many code commands with a single
button press.You may also program “punch-through”codes,which
allow the remote to operate the volume,channel or transport controls
of another device without having to switch the remote to the mode
for that device.See page 11 for instructions on these advanced
programming functions.

NOTE: The RCP 3 remote is preprogrammed to operate the
transport controls of the DVD 27 when the AVR or VID2 or VID3
device

is selected.

You may change this punch-through program-

ming at any time,as explained in the Advanced Functions section.

USING EzSET

Using EzSet

This section replaces Step Four in the Initial Setup section of the
AVR 144 owner’s guide.

An essential step in setting up your multichannel audio/video receiver
is calibrating the channel output levels so that they all sound equally
loud at the listening position.This sets a baseline, enabling the
director to create a desired mood by moving the dialogue,action
and ambient sounds around the soundstage,resulting in a more
realistic presentation.

EzSet takes the guesswork out of the manual process described in
the AVR 144 owner’s guide, replacing multiple steps with a simple
button press.

By now you should have connected all of your speakers and sources
and your video display.You should have turned on the receiver and
used the Manual Setup menus to program each of your speakers as
Large or Small.

Sit in the listening position with the remote control, and make sure
to eliminate external noises for the few minutes needed to run the
EzSet procedure.

Use the volume control buttons on the remote to adjust the volume
to –15dB.

Point the remote at the receiver.Press and hold the SPL Button until
the LED remains steadily lit, then press the “5” key.See Figure 3. The
procedure works best if you hold the remote at about ear level, pointed
toward the receiver.Try not

to tilt the remote out of line with the AVR’s

front panel.

Figure 3 – EzSet (SPL) Button

The receiver will generate a loud test tone,which sounds like static.
In fact, it’s a tone that simultaneously uses all frequencies from 20Hz
to 20kHz.

The tone should be heard first through the front left speaker.It will
circulate to the other speakers in this order: front left, center,front
right, surround right, surround left. The tone pauses for a few moments
at each speaker position, while a microphone built into the remote
measures the loudness (sound pressure level) of the tone.The remote
contains programming that compares the loudness of the tone at each
position to a reference and sends commands to the receiver to adjust
the output level for that channel until the tone matches the reference.

A tri-color LED on the remote indicates EzSet’s findings.The LED turns
red if the channel’s level is too high,amber if the level is too low,and
green when the level is correct.

The result is that each speaker will be heard equally loudly at the
listening position.This is important for movie directors, who adjust the
loudness of each channel in the recording to produce a desired sound
presentation. Usually,the director reduces the loudness of,or even the
presence of information in the surround channels so as not to distract
the viewer from the main action taking place on screen. If the test tone
sounds as loud in the rear speakers as it does coming from the other
speakers,then the receiver is performing correctly.

As the tone circulates to each speaker position, the semi-OSD system
and the front panel will display a message reporting which channel the
tone is being sent to.Make sure that the message matches the speaker
you are actually hearing the tone from, and that you are hearing a tone
from each speaker.If that isn’t the case,press the Test Button

twice

to
stop EzSet, and turn off the receiver and unplug it. Then check your
speaker-wire connections.

The semi-OSD system and front panel will also display the level adjust­ments being made.The levels may vary from –10dB to +10dB.If you
notice that the levels for all speakers are being adjusted very far in either
direction, then stop EzSet by pressing the Test Button

twice

, and adjust
the master volume level higher to compensate for EzSet pushing each
speaker close to +10dB, or lower to compensate for EzSet lowering
each speaker close to –10dB.

As the levels are being adjusted, the LED on the remote will change
until it is green for all channels.

The tone will circulate a second time,and then the procedure will end.

NOTE: In order to optimize performance for each of the many
surround modes and their variants,the AVR 144 is able to
associate a different set of output level settings with each mode.
While this results in extremely realistic reproduction of surround
sound presentations,it does require that you determine the
correct settings for each surround mode.

The first time you turn on the AVR, it will default to the Logic 7
Music mode.Harman Kardon recommends that at initial setup
you use the default Logic 7 mode,and then copy down the
settings produced by EzSet. Change the surround mode either
by using the on-screen Surround Setup menu, or by pressing
the desired surround mode group button on the remote,and
reenter the same settings for each new mode,selecting all
modes you are likely to use.

If you prefer,you may run EzSet for the major surround modes,
such as Logic 7

®

(select either Cinema or Music), Dolby (select

Dolby Pro Logic

®

II Movie) and DTS (select DTS Neo:6).Then
you may copy the resulting level settings for the other mode
variants within each group.

Advanced users may rerun EzSet for each mode individually.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

The RCP 3 remote control not only operates the AVR 144 and DVD 27,
but it also serves as a universal remote that may be programmed to
operate many of your other home theater components.The punch­through and macro features add even more flexibility and versatility.

Punch-Through Programming

The RCP 3 remote allows you to select one component for the remote
to operate,while simultaneously setting certain groups of controls to
operate another component. For example,while using the AVR to control
surround modes and other audio functions,you may wish to operate the
transport controls of your DVD player.Or while using the remote to con­trol video functions on your TV, you may wish to use your cable box to
change channels and the AVR to control the volume.

All of this is possible using punch-through programming.

NOTE: It is not necessary to program the remote to control
your DVD player’s transport controls while the AVR or a device
connected to the VID2 or VID3 inputs is in use,as the remote
is preprogrammed at the factory with this function.

To program punch-through control while operating any device:

1. Simultaneously press and hold the Input Selector (or AVR selector) for
the main device the remote will be operating and the Mute button
until the LED flashes and the remote enters program mode.

2. Select the type of punch-through programming.

a) To program volume control punch-through, press the Volume Up

Button.

b) To program channel control punch-through, press the Volume

Down Button.

NOTE: Do not program channel-control punch-through for the
AVR.Doing so will override the Sleep command, which is not
accessible in any other way, and the DSP Surround Mode
Selector. If you have inadvertently done so,repeat Steps 1
through 3, but press the AVR Selector in both Steps 1 and 3.

c) To program transport control punch-through, press the Play Button.

3. Press the Input Selector (or AVR selector) for the device whose
volume,channel or transport controls you would like to be active
while operating the device you selected in the first step.The LED
will flash green to confirm the programming.

For example, if you wish to watch your TV (programmed into the Video
3 button) while changing channels using your cable box (Video 2), you
would first press the Video 3 and Mute buttons until the LED flashed.
You would then press the Play Button, followed by the Video 2 button.

To undo punch-through programming,follow the same steps as above,
but press the same Input (or AVR) Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE: As mentioned earlier, the AVR,VID2 and VID3 devices
are factory-programmed with transport-control punch through
to operate the DVD player. You may reprogram these selectors

following the instructions in Steps 1 through 3 above to operate
another device,such as a CD player.

If you wish to reprogram these selectors to have no transport­control punch-through, the process is slightly different. Each of
these three selectors has no native transport control commands.
Therefore,when reprogramming them to eliminate transport­control punch-through, in Step 3 you must select one of these
three selectors,but not the same one you are reprogramming.
For example, to remove transport-control punch-through from
the VID2 device, follow the instructions in Steps 1 through 3,
but press either the AVR or VID3 button in Step 3.

Macros are used to program sequences of up to nineteen 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 punch­through controls.

Some commands may not be programmed into macros: Mute,Dim,
Channel Up/Down, 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 com­mands 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 one of the four Macro Buttons or the Power On
Button and the Mute Button at the same time 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.

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 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 LED flashes
amber, enter the code “333”. When the green LED goes out, the remote
will have been fully reset.
