Next Page. Page 3 AVR is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. The AVR has been engineered so that it is easy to take advantage of all the power of its digital tech- nology. However, to obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to read this manual.
Page 4: Important Safety Information Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them. Note that the Power Indicator surrounding the switch will turn green when the unit is on. Pressing it again will switch between the AM and FM frequency bands.
See page 31 for more information on the tuner. In normal opera- tion, the current audio and video input source information will appear on this line. See page 36 for more information on A-BUS. Most buttons have addi- tional functions when used with other devices.
See pages 42—43 for a list of these functions. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit. Page 17 The AVR features a removable power cord that allows wires to be run to a complex installation so that the unit, itself, need not be installed until it is ready for connection.
Page Surround Setup — you may change it later. Triple Crossover System: The AVR allows you to set a different crossover point for the front, center and surround speakers. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to customize the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible.
Furthermore, you can independently set a crossover points for every input source, if desired. When you select the 6-channel DVD Audio input in the source selector or 8-channel DVD Audio when the input is connected to all eight input jacks , the signal is converted from analog to digital so that you may apply the same Triple Crossover bass management option as you do with all other outputs.
Choosing this input also mutes the unused input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance. If the source device has its own internal bass management system, you can select the 6-channel or 8-channel Direct Input in the source selector, and the audio signal will pass through directly to the volume control without any further processing.
HDCD discs use bit encoding and other proprietary processing to provide the ultimate in CD listening. MP3 Audio Playback: By offering MP3 decoding, the AVR is able to deliver precise conversion of the digital signals to an analog output in addition to the obvious the benefits of listening to the MP3 audio through the AVR 's high-current amplifier and the speakers from your surround system, rather than the smaller speakers and low-powered amplifiers typically used with computers.
For computers that do not have an optical or coaxial digital output, you can use the Harmon Kardon DAL digital audio transcoder to convert digital signals from a USB output to a coaxial digital output. When an MP3 digital bitstream is received, playback automatically reverts to 2-channel stereo. EzSet Remote: Harman Kardon's exclusive EzSet remote makes it possible to quickly and accurately set the AVR 's output levels without the use of a sound pressure meter, although manual adjustment is also available.
Using the sensor microphone at the top of the remote, EzSet will adjust the output level of each channel so that when the process is complete all levels will be equal and at the set reference point.
Logic 7 M, designed to be used with analog or PCM stereo sources, enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Logic 7 C, designed to be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding, delivers increased center-channel intelligibility and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques.
Logic 7 E, available only when the 5. VMAx: Another H-K exclusive, the VMAx mode delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of "phantom speakers" at the center and surround positions when only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used. VMAx N, or "Near Field" mode should be selected when your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers.
VMAx F, or "Far Field" mode should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers. Night Mode Setting: The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that uses special processing to preserve the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie sound track while reducing the peak level. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the sonic impact of a digital source. Note that the Night mode is only available when specially encoded Dolby Digital signals are played.
System Configuration Memory: The AVR features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker configuration, digital input, surround mode, delay times, crossover frequency and output levels for each input source.
This flexibility enables you to custom-tailor the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR memorize those settings. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input. However, you may prefer to always have the AVR turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was last in use when the unit was turned off. This feature allows you to change the default condition so that the same volume level is always used at turn-on.
Display Dimmer: The display brightness may be set to full intensity, half intensity or off. Memory Backup: This unit is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves the system configuration information and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage.
This memory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all information must be reentered. The Full-OSD menu system is helpful with setup and adjustment of the receiver through a series of menu pages. The Semi-OSD places one-line messages at the lower third of the video display screen whenever the volume, input source, surround mode or tuner frequency is changed.
In both cases, the display will remain on the screen for a set number of seconds before they disappear or "Time Out". You can adjust the "Time Out" period if you prefer a slightly longer or shorter period of time for the display to appear. Remote Control. The AVR remote is also capable of learning codes from remotes not in the remote's internal code library.
Using the sensor microphone at the top of the remote, the EzSet feature, discussed above in the "Features" section, allows you to quickly and accurately set the AVR 's output levels without the use of a sound pressure meter. Zone 2 Remote: In addition to the main remote, the AVR also comes with a separate infrared remote for the second zone.
It may be used in the same room where the receiver is located, or it may be used in a separate room with an optional infrared sensor connected to the receiver's Multi IR input.
When in the same room as the receiver, it can control the functions of the receiver or any compatible Harmon Kardon products in that room. When in the separate room, the buttons for Power, Input Source, Volume and Mute will control the source and volume for the second zone as connected to the multi-room audio outputs. Macros: Five macros, consisting of as many as 19 button operations each, can be programmed into this remote: one that is associated with the Power On Button, and four more that are accessed by pressing the Macro buttons.
With the press of a single button, each macro will perform a series of up to 19 button operations in sequence. The receiver's remote IR sensor can also operate other remote-controlled Harman-Kardon equipment when the source component is connected to the receiver's IR output jack. When using the receiver's multi-room output, you can connect the output of an IR sensor in the second zone to the receiver's' Multi IR input.
This allows you to use the Zone 2 remote from the second zone to control the receiver. Inputs and Outputs Notes. With a single CAT-5 Ethernet cable, A-BUS modules can be connected so that the remote zone speakers may be powered directly from the module or keypad without the need for additional power, IR sensor or volume control wires to be run to the second zone.
Speaker Outputs: The speaker outputs have binding post connectors. You can use speaker wire with pin connectors or banana plugs or connect bare speaker wire to each output. They are not 5-way binding posts because a collar surrounding the output prevents the use of spade connectors, and they are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs.
They may also be used to power speakers in the second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multi-room system. As described in the Features section above, the AVR has the capability of applying digital bass management to the multi-channel analog input signal. Due to the complexity of RS connections, it is recommended that they be made only by trained installers familiar with their use.

Multichannel analog connections are used with advanced sources where the digital content is copy-protected and all surround processing is per- formed inside the source. See Figure 7. See Figure 8. Dock your iPod not included in The Bridge, and you may listen to your audio materials through your high-performance audio system.
You may even use the AVR remote to control the iPod, with navigation messages displayed on the front panel and on a video display connected to the AVR. The Bridge outputs analog audio to the AVR , and it is available to the multiroom system. Although some sources produce an audio signal only e. In addition to the audio connection, you will need to connect one type of video connection for each source never more than one at the same time for any source.
