There are 8 harmon upgrades in the Audio upgrades. Did you try any of them? You know it doesn't have to be an exact match on the model number for the codes to work. Heck if that were the case there wouldn't be any such thing as a universal remote.

It looks like
power on=173
power off=002

Hk amps have no normal power toggle as far as I've seen. The Original remotes all have a separate power On and OFF button. The result is most upgrades map the power off to the normal power button. The input button, usually the number keys, all function as ON buttons and will turn the receiver on and switch it to the correct input if it's off. If you want a typical toggling power button it would require faking it with a toadtog.

Evan - S

Just to clarify, does that mean if I press any number on my UEI keypad it should turn the HK AVR on?

Thx

Yeah that should be the way things function. Press the number that switches it to what ever input you want and it should turn on if needed and switch to that input.

Mark - I have not seen any 5 digit codes, all the ones in my user manual for the Atlas 5 button UEI I have has 4 digit codes. Hence the 1306 code that controls everything on the HK receiver but the Power ON.

If I program with the numbers you suggest , do I still use the UEI POWER ON button to do both the ON and OFF function?

Thanks again
Aleks

Mark wasn't giving you the 4 digit setup code. He's giving you a 5 digit EFC. When you have a partially working setup code, you can use an EFC, to program one key to do the desired function using the 5 digit setup code. In our lingo, that's called a key move.
