he RCP 4 remote is capable of controlling 11 devices, including the
A
VR 245 and the DVD 37 included in the CP 45 system. During the
i
nstallation 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.
or example, the first time you press the DVD Button, the button
F
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.

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.

Programming Sources
The RCP 4 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, CD players, cable boxes,
satellite receivers, cassette decks and TVs, as well as an iPod (not
included) docked in Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge.
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,
that is, switch the remote to that device mode. This is done by pressing
the AVR Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or the
Input Selectors to access the codes for the devices programmed into
the remote.
You may have noticed that three of the Input Selectors look different
from the others (see Figure 2). For the DVD/CD, TAPE/The Bridge and
HDMI 1/HDMI 2 Selectors, there is a primary source, whose name is
printed on the button, and a secondary source, whose name is printed
above the button.
) HDMI 1 Source:Press and hold the Input Selector until the
Program Indicator flashes, then release it. Next press the Input
Selector that corresponds to the device type you want to program
into the HDMI 1 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR or CBL/SAT. Then follow
the directions in Step 4.
d) HDMI 2 Source: Press and release the Input Selector once,
quickly press the Input Selector again so that it turns green, then
release it. Now press and hold the Input Selector until the Program
Indicator flashes, then release it. Next press the Input Selector
that corresponds to the device type you want to program into
the HDMI 2 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR or CBL/SAT.Then follow the
directions in Step 4.
When the remote is in the device mode for the primary source (e.g.,
DVD) pressing the device selector will cause it to light in red. When the
remote is in the secondary source’s device mode, the selector will light
in green when pressed.
To switch between the primary and secondary device modes, press the
selector twice quickly in succession. The selector will retain this selection
until the next time you toggle between the primary and secondary
device modes.That is, if you press the DVD/CD Selector twice quickly
so that the CD source is activated, then press another source selector,
such as Video 1, the next time you press the DVD/CD Selector, the

4. Enter a code from Step 1 above.
a) If the device turns off, then press the Input Selector again to accept
the code; the selector 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
Button repeatedly until the device turns off. When the device turns
off, enter the code by pressing the Input Selector, which will flash.
The remote then exits Program mode
NOTE: When you enter a valid three-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 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 in Table 1.

34 buttons.
Follow these steps to learn individual key codes:
1. Place the RCP 4 and the device’s original remote so that their IR
transmitters face each other end to end, separated by about one
inch (see Figure 3). The RCP 4 remote’s transmitter also serves as
an IR receiver during the learning process.
Figure 3 – RCP 4 and Original Remote Head-to-Head
f you make a mistake while learning a code, you may either learn
a new code over the old code, or you may erase the learned code,
which returns the button to the code in the original code set that you
programmed into the Input Selector. To erase a single learned code:
1. Make sure the RCP 4 is in the device mode containing the learned
code you wish to erase by pressing the Input Selector, which should

T
he RCP 4 remote control not only operates the AVR 245 and DVD 37,
b
ut it also serves as a universal remote that may be programmed to
o
perate many of your other home theater components.The punch-
through and macro features add even more flexibility and versatility.
Punch-Through Programming
The RCP 4 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: 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 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.
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. Press and hold the Input Selector (or AVR Selector) for the main
device the remote will be operating until the Input Selector lights,
the Program Indicator LED flashes and the remote enters Program
mode.
2. Select the type of punch-through programming:
a) To program volume control punch-through,
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.
To program Transport Control punch-through, press the Play Button.

Macros
Macros are used to program sequences of up to 19 commands
that are executed with a single button press. Macros are well-suited
for Power On and Off commands, 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 and 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 powering on, and the component may not be ready
to respond to commands instantaneously after powering on.

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 Program LED flashes.
2. Press the Surround Button to erase the macro.
Here are two macros that you may find useful when listening to an iPod
docked in The Bridge:
The purpose of the first macro is to access the DMP SETTING menu
while listening to The Bridge with one button press:
1. Simultaneously press and hold the M1(or other unused) Macro
Button and the Mute Button until the Program LED flashes.
2. Press the AVR Button (first command switches the remote to AVR
mode).
3. Press the OSD Button (second command activates the on-screen
menu system).

After you have made your selections in the DMP SETTING menu, such
as turning on Repeat Playback or Shuffle mode, the second macro
enables you to exit the on-screen menu system and return the remote
to The Bridge mode, again with just one button press.
