Harman Kardon AVI 250 - Multiroom Operation; Activating Remote Room Feed; Operating Multiroom Zones

ENGLISH
To activate the remote room feed, press
the MULTI button on the front panel J.
This will send the signal of the AVI250’s
currently selected input source to the
remote room at the volume level estab-
lished in SET UP MENU 2.
The MULT I indicator on the front panel
display @ will flash to indicate that the
multiroom system is turned on in the
variable mode, and that Source Linking
is in effect. With Source Link, any change
to the AVI250’s input selection will also
change the feed to the remote room loca-
tions. If the input source is changed from
the remote room, the M ULT I indicator
will remain lit, but stop flashing.
If the unit is turned off in the main lis-
tening room, the feed to the remote room
will continue, although the MULTI
indicator will now remain constantly
illuminated.
To turn off the feed to the remote room
either while the AVI250 is still on, or after
it is turned off, press the MULTI button
on the front panel. If the MULTI button
is pressed while the AVI250 is still on and
the on screen video system is engaged, a
warning message will appear on the
video display (Figure #18) to remind you
that people may still be listening to the
system in the remote room location.

Remote Room Operation
In this option, the remote room feed is
controlled by the use of an AVI250 com-
patible remote control. The remote com-
mands must be transmitted to the AVI250
via a coaxial link connected to the
MULTI input on the AVI250’s rear panel.
Using the remote control in the second
room press the POWER ON button to
turn on the remote room feed. This will
activate the multi room portion of the
AVI250 whether or not it may be on in
the main listening room.
The initial feed to the remote room will
be the last station selected by the tuner.
Any other AVI250 input source may sub-
sequently be selected using the source
buttons on the remote control.
The initial volume at the remote room
will be the level established using the
options in SET UP MENU e.
If IR connections have been made to the
source playback equipment, it is also
possible to control the functions of those
units via the second room remote.
Consult with your dealer or custom
installer for additional information on
this type of installation.
When the remote room is controlling the
AVI250 via the IR link, the MULTI
indicator on the AVI250’s front panel will
remain constantly lit.
NOTE: Whenever the AVI250 is in a mul-
tiroom mode, the MULT T indicator will
flash briefly whenever a command is
transmitted by the remote room location
and received by the AVI250.
