WWW.HARMANKARDON.COM
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 high-definition digital cable or satellite television set-top
box (or even products that may be released in the future).
The single RCP 6 remote replaces the original remotes supplied with
the AVR 247 receiver and DVD 38 DVD player. Although the RCP 6
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 6 remote is capable of controlling 11 devices, including the
AVR 247 and the DVD 38 included in the CP 60 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.

BATTERIES
The RCP 6 remote control uses three AAA batteries, which are included.
To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly
press the ridged depression and slide the cover toward 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 247 or DVD 38. 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 6 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. 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.
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
remote will return to the CD device mode.
The RCP 6 remote is factory-programmed to control the AVR 247, the
DVD 38 and an iPod docked in The Bridge. 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–A9 of the Appendix, look up the
product type (e.g., 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. This step places the remote in Program mode and varies slightly,
depending on which Input Selector is being programmed. Refer to
Figure 2.
a) DVD, Tape, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3 and Video 4 Sources:
Press and hold the Input Selector until the Program Indicator LED
starts to flash, then release it. Follow the directions in Step 4.
c) HDMI 1 Source: Press and hold the Input Selector until the
selector relights and 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. Follow the directions in Step 4.
d) HDMI 2 Source: Press and release the Input Selector once, then
quickly press the Input Selector again so that it turns green, then
release it. Now press and hold the Input Selector until the selector
relights and 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. Follow the directions in Step 4.
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; 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.

b) CD Source: Press the DVD/CD Input Selector twice quickly so
that it turns green, then hold it until the selector relights and the
Program Indicator flashes. Follow the directions in Step 4.

If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your
source device, it will not be possible to use the RCP 6 remote to control
that device. However, you may still connect the source to the AVR 247
and operate it using the device’s original remote control.
DVD
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function
when used to control the AVR 247 (gray labels) or DVD 38 (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’s device mode.
See page 12 for instructions on these advanced programming
functions.
NOTE: The RCP 6 remote is preprogrammed to operate the
transport controls of the DVD 38 when the AVR or VID2 or
VID3 device
is selected.
You may change this punch-through
programming at any time, as explained in the Advanced
Functions section.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
The RCP 6 remote control not only operates the AVR 247 and DVD 38,
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 6 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 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.
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. 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:
If you wish to reprogram these selectors to have no transportcontrol punch-through, follow the same procedure as for
programming punch-through, but in Step 3 press either of the
other two of these three selectors. 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
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.
To program, or “record,” a macro, follow these steps:
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), first
press the Video 3 Button until the LED flashes. Then press the Volume
Down 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: 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.

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.
NOTE: Even if you previously switched one of the dual-source
Input Selectors (DVD/CD, TAPE/THE BRIDGE, HDMI 1/HDMI 2)
to the primary or secondary source prior to programming the
macro, the remote always requires you to press any of these

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 Program 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.

NOTE: When any of the transport controls are pressed while the remote is in AVR, Video 2 or Video 3 mode, the remote will automatically switch to DVD mode and the command will be
applied to the DVD player. If you then press a button native to the original mode, e.g., Volume Down for the AVR, the remote will revert to the original mode. See Punch-Through Programming,
as described in the Advanced Functions section, for more information.
