Analog Record Out connector: connect this analog audio output to the analog  
audio input of a recording device. A signal is available at this output whenever an  
analog audio source is playing.  
HDMI Input connectors: An hdmI connection transmits digital audio and video  
signals between devices. If your source devices have hdmI connectors, using them  
will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the hdmI  
cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make  
any additional audio connections for devices you connect via the hdmI connection.  
See connect your Audio and video Source devices, on page 18, for more information.  
HDMI Monitor Out connector: If your tv has an hdmI connector, use an hdmI  
cable (not included) to connect it to the Avr’s hdmI monitor out connector. the  
Avr will automatically transcode component and composite video input signals to  
the hdmI format (upscaling to as high as 1080p), so you do not need to make any  
other connections to your tv from the Avr or from any of your video source devices.  
Composite Video Input connectors: use composite video connectors for video  
source devices that dont have hdmI or component video connectors. you will also  
need to make an audio connection from the source device to the Avr. See connect  
your Audio and video Source devices, on page 18, for more information.  
Digital Audio Input connectors: If your non-hdmI source devices have digital  
outputs, connect them to the Avr’s digital audio connectors. note: make only one  
type of digital connection (hdmI, optical or coaxial) from each device. See connect  
your Audio and video Source devices, on page 18, for more information.

Introduction to Home Theater  
Introduction to Home Theater  
this introductory section will help you to familiarize yourself with some basic concepts  
unique to multichannel surround-sound receivers, which will make it easier for you to  
set up and operate your Avr.  
Surround Modes  
there are different theories as to the best way to present surround sound and to  
distribute each audio channel’s sounds to the surround-sound system’s speakers.  
A variety of algorithms have been developed in an effort to recreate the way we hear  
sounds in the real world, resulting in a rich variety of options. Several companies  
have developed different surround-sound technologies, all of which can be accurately  
reproduced by your Avr:  
Typical Home Theater System  
A home theater typically includes an audio/video receiver, which controls the system  
and supplies amplification for the loudspeakers; a disc player; a source component  
for television broadcasts (cable box, satellite dish receiver, hdtv tuner or antenna  
connected to the tv); a tv or video display; and multiple loudspeakers.  
Dolby Laboratories: dolby truehd, dolby digital plus, dolby digital, dolby digital ex,  
dolby pro logic® IIx and IIz.  
Multichannel Audio  
the main benet of a home theater system is its ability to produce “surround sound.”  
Surround sound uses multiple speakers and amplifier channels to immerse you in the  
audio/video presentation for a dramatically increased sense of realism.  
DTS: dtS-hd high resolution Audio, dtS-hd master Audio, dtS, dtS-eS (discrete  
and matrix), dtS neo:6®, dtS 96/24.  
HARMAN International: logic 7®, hArmAn virtual speaker, hArmAn headphone.  
Stereo Modes: generic modes that expand upon conventional two-channel stereo,  
including 5ch and 7ch Stereo.  
your Avr may have up to seven main speakers connected directly to it, plus a subwoofer.  
each main speaker is powered by its own amplifier channel inside the Avr. A system  
with more than two speakers is called a multichannel system. the different main  
speaker types in a home theater system are:  
Appendix table A12, on page 50, contains detailed explanations of the different  
surround-sound options available on your Avr. digital surround-sound modes, such as  
the dolby digital and dtS modes, are available only on specially encoded programs,  
such as those available via hdtv, dvd and blu-ray disc media and digital cable or  
satellite television. other surround modes may be used with digital and analog signals  
to create a different surround presentation or to use a different number of speakers.  
Surround-mode selection depends upon the number of speakers in your system, the  
program you are watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.  
Front Left and Right: the front left and right speakers are used as in a two-channel  
system. In many surround-sound modes, these speakers are secondary, while the  
main action, especially dialogue, is reproduced by the center speaker.  
Center: when you are watching movies and television programs, the center speaker  
reproduces most of the dialogue and other soundtrack information, anchoring it with  
the picture. when you are listening to a musical program, the center speaker helps  
to create a seamless front soundstage, creating a realistic you-are-therelistening  
experience.  
Surround Left and Right: the surround left and right speakers produce ambient  
sounds that help create a realistic and immersive surround-sound environment. they  
also help recreate directional sound effects such as aircraft yovers.  
Surround Back Left and Right: Surround back channel speakers are used  
with surround modes such as the dolby digital ex, dolby digital plus, dolby  
truehd, dtS-eS® (discrete and matrix), dtS-hdhigh resolution Audio,  
dtS-hd master Audioand logic 7® 7.1 modes that are designed for 7.1-channel  
systems.  
the surround back channel speakers are optional. If your system does not include  
surround back left and right speakers, you can set up your Avr with a 5.1-channel  
surround-sound system in the main listening area, and you can reassign the surround  
back channel amplifiers to power loudspeakers located in another room in a multizone  
system. (Alternately, you can reassign the surround back channel amplifiers to power  
front height speakers for use with dolby pro logic IIz. See manual Speaker Setup, on  
page 36, for more information.)  
many people expect the surround speakers to play as loudly as the front speakers.  
Although you will calibrate all of the speakers in your system to sound equally loud at the  
listening position, most artists use the surround speakers for ambient effects only, and  
they create their programs to steer relatively little sound to these speakers.  
Subwoofer: A subwoofer is designed to play only the lowest frequencies (the deep  
bass). It augments smaller, limited-range main speakers that are usually used for  
the other channels. many digital-format programs, such as movies recorded in dolby  
digital, contain a low-frequency effects (lfe) channel that is directed to the subwoofer.  
the lfe channel packs the punch of a rumbling train or airplane, or the power of an  
explosion, adding realism and excitement to your home theater. Some people use two  
subwoofers for additional power and for even distribution of the sound.

Place Your Speakers  
Place Your Speakers  
determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s  
directions and the layout of your listening room. use the illustrations below as a guide for  
7.1-channel and 5.1-channel systems.  
NOTE: In a 7.1-channel system, you must choose to use either surround back speakers  
or front height speakers – you cannot use both simultaneously.  
Placing the Left, Center and Right Speakers  
place the center speaker either on top of, below or mounted on the wall above or below  
the tv or video display screen. place the front left and right speakers along the circle,  
about 30 degrees from the center speaker and angled toward the listener.  
to create the most realistic surround-sound environment possible, you should place  
your speakers in a circle with the listening position at its center. you should angle each  
speaker so it directly faces the listening position. use the diagrams below as a guide.  
tv  
place the front left, front right and center speakers at the same height, preferably at  
about the same height as the listener’s ears. the center speaker should be no more than  
2 feet (0.6m) above or below the left/right speakers. If youre using only two speakers  
with your Avr, place them in the front left and right positions.  
Sub  
c

fr  
Placing the Surround Speakers in a 5.1-Channel System  
you should place the left and right surround speakers approximately 110 degrees from  
the center speaker, slightly behind and angled toward the listener. Alternatively, place  
them behind the listener, with each surround speaker facing the opposite-side front  
speaker. you should place the surround speakers 2 feet – 6 feet (0.6m – 1.8m) higher  
than the listener’s ears.  
Sl  
Sr  
Placing the Surround Speakers in a 7.1-Channel System  
In a 7.1-channel system, place the side surround speakers 90 degrees from the center  
speaker, directly to either side of the listening position. place the surround back left and  
right speakers 150 degrees from the center speaker, directly facing the opposite-side  
front speaker. you should place all the surround speakers 2 feet – 6 feet (0.6m – 1.8m)  
higher than the listener’s ears.

Placing Front Height Speakers in a 7.1-Channel System  
Sub  
c
your Avr includes dolby pro logic IIz decoding, which uses the Avr’s Assigned Amp  
channels as front height channels. the addition of front height channels – an additional  
pair of speakers positioned above the front left and right speakers – produces a surround-  
sound experience with added depth and dimension by creating lifelike sound that comes  
at you from varying heights.  
fl  
fr  
we recommend placing front height speakers at least 3 feet (0.9m) higher than the front  
left and front right speakers, and directly above or farther apart than the front left and  
right speakers.the higher and further apart you place the front height speakers, the more  
you should angle them down and in toward the listening position.

Placing the Subwoofer  
because a room’s shape and volume can have a dramatic effect on a subwoofer’s  
performance, it is best to experiment with placement so that you will nd the location  
that produces the best results in your particular listening room. with that in mind, these  
rules will help you get started:  
tv  
Sub  
c
fl  
fr  
placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will increase the amount of bass in the  
room.  
fhl*  
fhr*  
placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will maximize the amount of bass in the  
room.  
In many rooms, placing the subwoofer along the same plane as the left and right  
speakers can produce the best integration between the sound of the subwoofer and  
that of the left and right speakers.  
Sl  
Sr  
In some rooms, the best performance could even result from placing the subwoofer  
behind the listening position.  
A good way to determine the best location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing it in  
the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. move around to various  
locations in the room while the system is playing (putting your ears where the subwoofer  
would be placed), and listen until you nd the location where the bass performance is  
best. place the subwoofer in that location.  
* fhl and fhr speakers should be at least  
3 ft (0.9m) above the fl and fr speakers.

AVR  
Types of Home Theater System Connections  
Types of Home Theater System Connections  
there are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the Avr to your  
speakers, your tv or video display, and your source devices. the consumer electronics  
Association has established the ceA® color-coding standard.  
Subwoofer Connections  
the subwoofer is a speaker dedicated to reproducing only the low (bass) frequencies,  
which require more power. to obtain the best results, most speaker manufacturers offer  
powered subwoofers that contain their own amplifiers. use a single rcA audio cable to  
make a line-level (non-amplified) connection from the Avr’s Subwoofer connector to a  
corresponding input jack on the subwoofer.

Audio and video signals originate in source devices (components where a playback  
signal originates) such as your blu-ray disc or dvd player, cd player, dvr (digital  
video recorder) or other recorder, tape deck, game console, cable or satellite television  
tuner, an ipod or iphone (docked in an optional the bridge IIIp docking station) or an  
mp3 player. the Avr’s fm/Am tuner also counts as a source, even though no external  
connections are needed other than the fm and Am antennas and an optional SIrIuS  
tuner module. Separate connections are required for the audio and video portions of the  
source device’s signal, except for digital hdmI connections. the types of connections  
you use will depend upon the capabilities of the source device and of your tv or video  
display.  
Color  
red/green/blue

Speaker Connections  
Speaker cables carry an amplified signal from the Avr’s speaker terminals to each  
loudspeaker. they contain two wire conductors, or leads, that are differentiated in some  
way, such as with colors or stripes.  
Digital Audio Connections – HDMI  
the differentiation helps you maintain proper polarity, without which your system’s low-  
frequency performance can suffer. each speaker is connected to the Avr’s speaker-  
output terminals using two wires, one positive (+) and one negative (–). Always connect  
the positive terminal on the speaker, which is usually colored red, to the positive terminal  
on the receiver, which is colored as indicated in the connection color guide table, above.  
the negative terminals on the speakers and the Avr are black.  
there are two types of audio connections – digital and analog. digital audio signals are  
required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes, such as dolby  
digital and dtS, or for uncompressed pcm digital audio. your Avr has three types of  
digital audio connections: hdmI, coaxial and optical. do not use more than one type of  
digital audio connection for each source device. however, it’s okay to make both analog  
and digital audio connections to the same source.  
your Avr uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept bare-wire cables or  
banana plugs. bare-wire cables are installed as shown below:  
your Avr is equipped with ve rear-panel hdmI input connectors, and one hdmI monitor  
output connector. (the Avr 3650 and Avr 365 also have a front-panel hdmI input  
connector.) hdmI technology enables digital audio and video information to be carried  
using a single cable, delivering the highest quality picture and sound. If your tv or video  
display device has an hdmI input connector, make a single hdmI connection from each  
source device to the Avr. usually, a separate digital audio connection is not required.  
the Avr’s hdmI monitor output connection contains an Audio return channel (Arc) that  
carries a digital audio signal from your tv or video display back to the Avr. It allows  
you to listen to hdmI devices that are connected directly to your tv (such as an Internet  
connection) without making an additional connection from the device to the Avr. the  
Arc signal is active when the tv source is selected. See System Settings, on page 39,  
for more information.  
1. unscrew cap  
2. Insert bare wire  
3. tighten cap  
banana plugs are inserted into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap, as shown  
below:  
the hdmI connector is shaped for easy plug-in (see illustration, below), and hdmI cable  
runs are limited to about 10 feet (3m). If your video display has a dvI input and is  
hdcp-compliant, use an hdmI-to-dvI adapter (not included), and make a separate audio  
connection.  
A. tighten cap  
b. Insert banana connector  
into hole in cap  
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the Avr to the (+) terminal on the speaker  
(usually red), and the black (–) terminal on the Avr to the (–) terminal on the speaker  
(usually black).  
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not touch each other or  
the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your  
receiver or amplifier.

AVR  
Types of Home Theater System Connections  
Digital Audio Connections – Coaxial  
Video Connections  
coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded in orange. Although they look like  
standard rcA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to  
analog inputs or vice versa.  
many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., blu-ray disc, dvd  
player, cable television box, hdtv tuner, satellite box, vcr, dvr). In addition to an audio  
connection as described above, make a video connection for each of these source  
devices. make only one type of video connection for each device.  
Digital Video Connections  
If you have already connected a source device to one of the Avr’s hdmI input connectors,  
you have automatically made a video connection for that device, since the hdmI cable  
carries both digital audio and digital video signals.  
Digital Audio Connections – Optical  
Analog Video Connections – Composite Video  
optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from  
dust. the shutter opens as the cable is inserted. optical input connectors are color-  
coded using a black shutter, while optical outputs use a gray shutter.  
your Avr uses two types of analog video connections: composite video and component  
video.  
composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. both the chrominance  
(color) and luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted using a  
single cable. the jack is usually color-coded yellow and looks like an analog audio jack.  
do not connect a composite video jack to an analog audio or coaxial digital audio jack,  
or vice versa.  
Analog Audio Connections  
two-channel analog connections require a stereo audio cable, with one connector for  
the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). these two connectors are  
attached to each other.  
Analog Video Connections – Component Video  
component video separates the video signal into three components – one luminance  
(“y”) and two sub-sampled color signals (“pb” and “pr”) – that are transmitted using  
three separate cables that are color-coded green (y), blue (pb) and red (pr). component  
video cables that join three separate green, blue and red connectors into a single cable  
are sold separately.  
for source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both  
connections. If you are going to be setting up a multizone system, remember that Zone  
2 is an audio-only zone (the Avr does not have a Zone 2 video output). therefore, make  
analog connections for any audio source devices (such as a cd changer) that you will  
want available for listening in Zone 2 at all times.  
the analog connections also feed the analog record outputs. you may record materials  
from blu-ray disc recordings, dvds or other copy-protected sources using only analog  
connections. remember to comply with all copyright laws if you choose to make a copy  
for your own personal use.  
If your tv or video display has an hdmI connection, we recommend it as the best quality  
connection. your Avr converts composite and component analog video input signals to  
the hdmI format, upscaling them to high-denition 1080p resolution.  
The Bridge IIIP Connection  
your Avr includes a proprietary, dedicated connector for an optional the bridge IIIp  
docking station for the ipod or iphone. the bridge IIIp outputs analog audio to the Avr  
and is available as a source to Zone 2 in a multizone system.

AVR  
Types of Home Theater System Connections  
Radio Connections  
USB Port  
your Avr uses separate terminals for the included fm and Am antennas. the fm antenna  
uses a 75-ohm f-connector.  
the uSb port on your Avr is used for rmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the Avr’s  
operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the Avr using  
this port. complete instructions will be provided at that time.  
In addition to performing rmware upgrades, the Avr 3650/Avr 365 can play mp3 and  
wmA audio les from a uSb device inserted into the uSb port. Insert the device into the  
uSb port with the device’s plug oriented so it ts all the way into the port. you may insert  
or remove the device at any time there is no installation or ejection procedure.  
the Am antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna as  
shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into the  
openings, and release the levers to secure the wires.the antenna wires are not polarized,  
so you can insert either wire into either connector.  
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVR’s USB  
port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device.  
RS-232 Connector  
SIRIUS Satellite Radio  
your Avr’s rS-232 serial port may be connected to an external control system to allow  
it to transmit control commands to the Avr. the port is bidirectional so that the Avr  
can transmit status updates to the control device. connecting and using the rS-232  
port requires considerable technical knowledge and is best left to a professional custom  
installer.  
to enjoy SIrIuS satellite radio,purchase a SIrIuSconnect tuner module and a subscription  
to the SIrIuS service. visit www.sirius.com for information on SIrIuSconnect tuner  
modules. the Siriusconnect modules include an eight-pin dIn cable for connection to  
the eight-pin jack on the Avr, allowing you to control the tuner module via the Avr.  
Although you may also use a “plug-and-playtuner module equipped with standard  
audio connections, you will not be able to use the Avr to control the SIrIuS tuner.  
Network Connector  
the Avr’s network connector allows you to enjoy Internet radio or content from other  
dlnA-compatible devices that are connected to the same network. use a cat. 5 or  
cat. 5e cable to connect the Avr’s rJ-45 connector to your home network.

Making Connections  
Connect a SIRIUSConnect Radio Tuner (AVR 3650 and AVR 2650 only)  
Install a Multizone System  
connect the multi-pin dIn cable supplied with the SIrIuSconnect tuner to the Avr’s  
SIrIuS tuner connector and to the corresponding connector on the SIrIuS module. the  
Avr will supply power to the SIrIuS module so you will not need to connect the power  
supply included with the module. you will need to purchase a SIrIuS radio subscription  
and activate the tuner module, following the instructions included with the SIrIuS module  
and from the SIrIuS web site at www.sirius.com.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Installing a multizone system typically requires  
running cables inside walls. Always comply with the appropriate safety codes  
when installing concealed wiring, particularly all applicable building codes.  
Failure to do so may present a safety hazard. If you have any doubt about your  
ability to work with electrical wiring, hire a licensed electrician or custom  
installer to install the multizone system.

NOTE: only the following analog audio sources are available to Zone 2: the internal radio  
(fm, Am and SIrIuS, if connected – Avr 3650/Avr 2650 only), an ipod/iphone device  
docked in a connected the bridge IIIp, a uSb memory device inserted in the Avr’s uSb  
port (Avr 3650/Avr 365 only) and up to three source devices connected to the rear-panel  
Analog Audio 1, 2 and 3 connectors.  
SIrIuSconnect tuner  
your Avr offers two different methods of distributing audio to other areas in your home.  
each requires different connections:  
A. Connect the Zone 2 speakers directly to the Assigned Amp Speaker Output  
connectors. Assign the Assigned Amp channels to power the Zone 2 speakers (see  
manual Speaker Setup, on page 36). this method allows you to power a single pair of  
speakers for Zone 2.  
eight-pin dIn cable  
(supplied with SIrIuS tuner)  
this method offers the benet of reduced cost and complexity, but your home theater  
system will be limited to 5.1 channels – the Avr will automatically downmix the playback  
of programs recorded in 6.1 or 7.1 channels to 5.1 channels.

Making Connections  
B. Connect an external amplifier to the AVR’s Zone 2 Out connectors. this method  
offers the benet of retaining a 7.1-channel home theater in the main room simultaneously  
with multizone operation, although it does require an additional component (the Zone 2  
amplifier).  
Connect IR Equipment (AVR 3650/AVR 365 only)  
the Avr 3650/Avr 365 is equipped with remote Ir Input and output connectors and a  
Zone 2 Ir Input connector that let you remotely control the Avr in a variety of situations:  
when you place the Avr inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, connect  
an external Ir receiver, such as the optional harman kardon he 1000, to the Avr’s Ir  
remote In jack.  
we recommend that you place the Zone 2 amplifier in the same room as the Avr so that  
you can use a short length of stereo audio cable along with a long run of speaker wire to  
the remote room. A long run of stereo audio cable would increase the chance of signal  
degradation. depending on your amplifier, distribute the audio signal to a single pair of  
speakers or to several pairs placed in different rooms.

AVR  
Set Up the Remote Control  
once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remote’s control mode to  
access the functions for a particular device by pressing the remote’s Source Selector  
button for that device. to control the receiver, press the remote’s Setup button.  
most of the button labels on the Avr remote describe each button’s function when the  
remote is used to control the Avr. however, the button may perform a different function  
when used to control another device. refer to the remote control function list, table  
A13 in the Appendix.  
follow these steps to program the Source Selector buttons for your source devices:  
1. turn on the source device you want to program the remote to control.  
you can also program the remote to perform macros (preprogrammed code sequences  
that execute many code commands with a single button press), and for punch-  
throughprogramming (allowing the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport  
controls when the remote is in another device’s mode). See Advanced remote control  
programming, on page 41, for instructions on these functions.  
2. look up the code numbers for the device in tables A14 – A24 in the Appendix. write all  
the applicable code numbers in a convenient place.  
3. press the Source Selector button for the device and hold it as it glows red, goes dark  
and glows red again. then release it. the remote is now in the programming mode.  
Learning (AVR 3650/AVR 365 only)  
NOTE: the remote will remain in the programming mode for 20 seconds. If you do not  
complete Step 4 within 20 seconds, the remote will exit the programming mode, and you  
will need to repeat Step 3.  
If you have the device’s original remote control, you may teach” its individual button  
codes into the following destinationbuttons on the Avr 3650/Avr 365 remote:  
device power on/off buttons, number buttons, last button, back/exit button, menu  
button, up/down/left/right buttons, ok button, disc menu button, A/b/c/d buttons,  
channel up/down buttons, volume up/down buttons, mute button, transport control  
buttons.  
4. Aim the remote at the source device and use the remote’s number buttons to enter a  
code number from Step 1, above.  
a) If the device turns off, press the Source Selector button again to save the code. the  
Source Selector button will flash, and the remote will exit the programming mode.

c) If you run out of code numbers for a device, you can search through all of the codes  
in the remote’s library for dervices of its type by pressing the remote’s up button  
repeatedly until the device turns off. when it does, press the Source Selector button  
to save the code.  
5. check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers use  
the same power code for several models, while other function codes vary. repeat this  
process until youve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the  
device’s functions.  
1. place the two remotes with their Ir transmitters facing each other, about 1 inch  
(25mm) apart.  
6. If you searched through the remote’s code library to nd the code, you can nd out  
which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selector  
button to re-enter the programming mode. then press the remote’s ok button, and the  
Source Selector button will flash in the code sequence. one flash represents “1,” two  
flashes for “2,” and so forth. A series of quick flashes represents “0.” record the code  
number programmed for each device in table A9 in the Appendix.

2. press the Avr remote’s Source Selector button for the source device, then press and  
hold the learn button until the Source Selector button glows red. the remote is now  
in the learning mode.  
repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the Avr remote.  
3. on the Avr remote, choose a destination button that will learn the source device  
remote’s function. press the destination button, and the Source Selector will flash  
once.  
Reassigning a Source Selector Button for a Different Device Type  
you can reassign a Source button to control a different device type (for example, you can  
program the media Server button to control a dvd player).  
4. on the source device’s remote, press and hold the button with the function that you  
want to teach to the Avr remote until the Source Selector button flashes three times.  
the source device remote’s button has now taught the Avr remote’s destination button  
to perform its function on that source.  
1. turn on the source device you want the remote to control.  
2. look up the code numbers for the device in tables A14 – A24 in the Appendix. write all  
the applicable code numbers in a convenient place.  
5. you can program additional buttons for this source by repeating Steps 3 – 4. you can  
program buttons for other sources by repeating Steps 1 – 4.  
3. press the Source Selector button you want to override and hold it for three seconds  
as it glows red, goes dark and glows red again. then release it. the remote is now in  
the programming mode.  
when youre nished, press the learn button once to exit the learning mode, or wait for  
the remote to exit the learning mode on its own after about 30 seconds.  
4. press the Source Selector button that corresponds to the source device’s type (i.e.,  
for a dvd player, press the blu-ray button). the Source Selector button you pressed in  
Step 3 will flash once.

IMPORTANT: The “Video Input from Source,” “Audio Input from Source” and  
“Resolution to Display” settings are not optional and must be adjusted before you  
use your AVR to enable playback of each source. you can adjust the other settings  
later. See System Settings, on page 39, for complete information about adjusting all of  
the Settings menu options.  
Resolution to Display: this setting reects the video output resolution, which is  
dependent upon the capabilities of your tv or video display.  
If you connected your tv to the Avr’s hdmI monitor out connector, the two devices will  
communicate with each other, and the Avr will automatically select the best available  
video output resolution. In almost all cases, you should leave the resolution set to the  
Avr’s automatic selection. (you can override this automatic selection if your video  
display’s native resolution is different from the Avr’s automatic selection.)  
1. review the input connections you listed on the Input connections and Assigned Source  
buttons table, on page 18. note what changes (if any) you want to make from the  
default source-button connector assignments that appear on the list. (If there are no  
changes, you can skip this section.)  
If you connected your tv to the Avr’s composite video monitor out connector, you  
must set the resolution to “480i” (Avr 3650/Avr 2650) or to “576p” (Avr 365/Avr

Resolution from Source: this line is informational only. It indicates the resolution of the  
video output by the source device.  
Audio Auto Polling: this setting is used when both analog and digital audio connections  
are made for the source device. If an analog audio connection was made, select it  
here. when no digital signal comes from the device, the Avr will automatically switch  
to the analog audio input. this switch can be useful for older cable television systems  
that broadcast channels in both analog and digital audio. If there is no analog audio  
connection from the device, choose the off setting, and the Avr will always use the  
digital audio connection.  
HDMI Bypass: this setting allows you to bypass the Avr’s internal video processing for  
proper display of 3-d video content and of source devices (such as some game consoles)  
where the Avr's video processing can create delays that can cause synchronization  
errors between the sound and picture. there are three available settings:  
off: does not bypass the Avr's internal video processing.  
on: Always bypasses the Avr's internal video processing.  
Zone 2 Audio: this setting determines the audio source for Zone 2 of a multizone system.  
Select the analog audio input the source is connected to. digital audio is not available to  
the multizone system.  
Auto: Automatically bypasses the Avr's internal video processing when 3-d content  
is detected.  
to congure the next source, press the back/exit button, then return to the Setup  
Source line of the main menu. when you have nished conguring all sources, press  
the back/exit button to clear the menus from view.  
IMPORTANT: once the Avr automatically switches into the bypass mode upon detecting  
3-d video content, it will not automatically switch out of the bypass mode when it detects  
conventional 2-d video content. to turn the hdmI bypass off you must cycle the Avr into  
the Standby mode and then turn it on again.  
Set Up the Network  
to play mp3 or wmA media located on dlnA-compatible devices connected to the  
network or to use the Avr’s internal Internet radio tuner to listen to audio streams,  
connect the Avr’s network connector to the ethernet port on a router or modem that  
has Internet access, to a home network, or to a pc.  
we suggest that you create an additional source conguration for each of your 3-d video  
source devices by assigning each an unused Source Selector button on the Avr’s remote  
control. for example, you can assign the Avr’s “media Server” source as the 3-d source  
for a 3-d-capable disc player or game, and you can assign one of the Avr’s “A/b/c/d”  
source buttons as the 3-d source for your cable or satellite tuner’s 3-d programming.  
If your network uses an automatic Ip address, you should not have to perform any  
network setup procedures. once you connect the Avr to your home network, the  
network should automatically assign the Avr an Ip address, and the Avr should  
automatically connect to your network.  
Creating “HDMI Bypass” Inputs  
In this example, we will program the media Server source as an hdmI bypass source for  
3-d programming:  
If yourAvr does not automatically connect to your network (in which case theAvr will  
display a “not connectedmessage when you press the network source button):  
1. Select “Setup Source.” the source list will appear.  
2. Select “media Server.” the media Server setup screen will appear.  
3. Select “hdmI bypass.” A conrmation screen will appear.  
4. Select “ok.” the Avr will exit the menu mode.

no dolby volume processing  
Controlling the Volume  
low  
only dolby volume modeler module is active  
Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel volume knob (clockwise to increase  
volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing the volume up/down  
buttons on the remote. the volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (db)  
below the 0db reference point (-90db – +10db).  
both modeler and leveler modules are active;  
leveler module has a value of 3  
medium  
max  
both modeler and leveler modules are active;  
leveler module has a value of 9  
0db is the maximum recommended volume for your Avr. Although it’s possible to turn  
the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. for  
certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0db may be too high, allowing for damage  
to equipment. use caution with regard to volume levels.  
NOTE: dolby volume processing is compatible with sources recorded at a sampling  
rate of 48khz. high-resolution sources, such as dtS 96/24 programs, will be  
decoded at 48khz. dtS 96/24 programs will be played in dtS 5.1 mode. to hear  
dtS 96/24 materials in high resolution, turn off dolby volume processing.  
to change the volume level display from the default decibel scale to a 0-to-90 scale,  
adjust the volume units setting in the System Settings menu, as described in System  
Settings, on page 39.  
Dolby Volume Calibration  
Muting the Sound  
to mute all speakers and the headphones, press the mute button on the remote. Any  
recording in progress will not be affected. the mute message will appear in the display  
as a reminder. to restore the sound, press the mute button again, or adjust the volume.  
dolby volume calibration allows you to adjust the operation of the dolby volume  
circuitry to match your particular speakers and listening environment. the dolby volume  
circuitry in your Avr is factory-calibrated with average speaker sensitivity in mind;  
however, different speakers may have different sensitivities, which will affect the overall  
performance of the dolby volume circuitry. use dolby volume calibration to adjust the  
calibration of the circuitry according to the specific speakers you have.  
Dolby Volume  
the average home audio speaker sensitivity is 88db Spl (1 watt/1 meter). check the  
sensitivity specification for your loudspeakers, found in the owner’s manual or on the  
manufacturer’s web site. If your speakers have a sensitivity rating greater than 88db Spl,  
increase dolby volume calibration by the difference between your speakers’ sensitivity  
and 88db. If they have a sensitivity rating of less than 88db Spl, decrease dolby volume  
calibration by the difference between your speakers’ sensitivity and 88db.  
yourAvr implements dolbyvolume processing,which can improve the audio performance  
of the system by revealing subtle details in the sound, even at normal home-listening  
volumes.  
one concern of the typical home theater listener is that volumes can vary widely for  
different programs played by a source (e.g., television commercial advertisements are  
often much louder than the main program). Another is that details heard in the recording  
studio at typically high reference volumes are lost at the lower volumes used by many  
listeners at home.  
to adjust the dolby volume calibration, press the Avr button and select the “System”  
menu. Scroll to the dolby volume calibration line, which defaults to 0db. use the left/  
right buttons to adjust the setting within the range of –10db to +10db.  
the Avr uses two dolby volume techniques to address these issues. the leveler module  
maintains a consistent listening volume within a source (e.g., commercial television or  
different tracks on a uSb drive or mix cd). the modeler module endeavors to re-create  
the reference presentation that was heard in the recording studio without losing portions  
of the program at the typically lower volume levels often used in the home. when the  
modeler module is active, you may notice details of the performance that were hidden  
when the program was played on other equipment.  
Listening Through Headphones  
plug the 1/4-inch stereo plug on a pair of headphones into the front-panel phones jack  
for private listening. the default headphone bypass mode delivers a conventional two-  
channel signal to the headphones. press the Surround modes button on the front panel  
or the remote to switch to hArmAn headphone virtual surround processing, which  
emulates a 5.1-channel speaker system. no other surround modes are available for the  
headphones.  
to adjust the dolby volume setting, press the Audio effects button. the Audio effects  
submenu will appear.  
Selecting a Source  
there are three different ways to select a source:  
Audio Effects – Cable/Sat

briey appear on the tv screen.  
After you highlight the dolby volume setting, each press of the ok button will switch to  
one of the options in the table below. the settings do not refer to the volume level, which  
is adjusted normally using the Avr’s volume control, but rather to the amount of dolby

Listening to SIRIUS Satellite Radio  
SIrIuS Satellite radio delivers a variety of commercial-free music from categories  
including pop, rock, country, r&b, dance, jazz, classical and many more, plus coverage  
of all the top professional and college sports, including play-by-play games from select  
leagues and teams. Additional programming includes expert sports talk, uncensored  
entertainment, comedy, family programming, local trafc and weather, and news from  
your most trusted sources. SIrIuS Satellite radio is available to residents of the u.S.  
(except Alaska and hawaii) and canada.  
Video Troubleshooting Tips  
If there is no picture:  
check the source selection and video input assignment.  
check all connections for a loose or incorrect connection.  
check the video input selection on the tv/display device.  
to listen to SIrIuS Satellite radio, youll need to connect a SIrIuS tuner module (sold  
separately) to the Avr’s SIrIuS tuner connector. SIrIuS tuner modules that will work  
with your Avr are available at www.sirius.com. Select a tuner module designated for  
SIrIuS-ready® audio components (also called SIrIuSconnect). A SIrIuSconnect module  
is controlled by the Avr’s internal tuner, including 40 preset SIrIuS station locations and  
remote control. Although you may also use a SIrIuS “plug-and-playunit with standard  
analog audio connections, you will not be able to enjoy the Avr’s ease of control.  
press the front-panel resolution button and use the up/down buttons until the  
correct video output resolution is selected and a picture appears. the cAncel  
message will also appear. press the down button to view the Accept option, then  
press the ok button.  
Additional Tips for Troubleshooting HDMI Connections  
turn off all devices (including the tv, the Avr and any source components).  
Installing the SIRIUS tuner module  
unplug the hdmI cables, starting with the cable between the Avr and the tv, and  
continuing with the cables between the Avr and each source device.  
once youve purchased a SIrIuS tuner, youll need to install it, activate it and subscribe  
to begin enjoying the service:  
carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the Avr. connect the  
cable from the Avr to the tv last.  
1. using the cable included with the SIrIuS tuner module, plug the module into the SIrIuS  
tuner connector on the rear of the Avr.  
turn on the devices in this order: tv, Avr, source devices.  
2. follow the instructions included with the SIrIuS tuner module to complete its  
installation. note:pay particular attention to the instructions for installing and orienting  
the SIrIuS antenna that is included with the SIrIuS tuner module.  
NOTE: Depending upon the particular components involved, the complexity of  
the required communication between HDMI components may cause delays of  
up to a minute in the completion of some actions, such as input switching or  
switching between SD and HD channels.  
3. call 1-888-539-SIrI (7474) or visit sirius.com (u.S.) or siriuscanada.ca (canada) to  
activate your SIrIuS tuner module and subscribe to the SIrIuS service.

Auto Select: for digital programs, such as a movie recorded with a dolby digital or dtS  
soundtrack, the Avr will automatically use the soundtrack’s native surround format. for  
two-channel analog and pcm programs, the Avr uses the logic 7 movie, logic 7 music  
or logic 7 game mode, depending on the source.  
An Apple macintosh computer must be running dlnA (digital living network  
Alliance)-compliant software. examples of compatible software include the  
twonkyServerprogram by packetvideo, and eyeconnect software by elgato  
Systems.  
Virtual Surround: when only two main speakers are present in the system, you can use  
hArmAn virtual Surround to create an enhanced soundeld that virtualizes the missing  
speakers. Select between wide and reference modes.  
before you can access files located on other devices via the network, each device must  
rst give permission to share les with the Avr:  
Stereo: when you want two-channel playback, select the number of speakers you want  
to use for playback:  
To share media on PCs:  
“2 ch Stereouses two speakers.  
1. open windows media player.  
“5 ch Stereoplays the left-channel signal through the front left and surround left  
speakers, the right-channel signal through the front right and surround right speakers,  
and a summed mono signal through the center speaker.  
2. open the library menu and select media Sharing. the media Sharing window will  
appear.  
3. check the “Share my media” box. An icon for the Avr will appear in the window.  
4. Select the Avr icon, select “Allow,” then select “ok.”  
“7 ch Stereofollows the same scheme as 5 ch Stereo but adds the surround back  
left and surround back right speakers. this mode is available only when the surround  
back speakers are present and have not been reassigned to multizone or front  
height operation. See Audio processing and Surround Sound, on page 33, for more  
information.  
the computer’s wmA and mp3 media should now be available to the Avr.  
to share media on other types of computers, operating systems or media software:  
check the instructions for the computer, operating system or media player.

AVR  
Advanced Functions  
the rst number indicates the number of front channels in the signal: “1” represents  
a monophonic recording (usually an older program that has been digitally remastered  
or, more rarely, a modern program for which the director has chosen mono as a special  
effect). “2” indicates the presence of the left and right channels, but no center channel.  
“3” indicates that all three front channels (left, right and center) are present.  
Advanced Functions  
much of the adjusting and conguration your Avr requires is handled automatically, with  
little intervention required on your part. you can also customize your Avr to suit your  
system and your tastes. In this section we will describe some of the more advanced  
adjustments available to you.  
the second number indicates whether any surround channels are present: “0” indicates  
that no surround information is present. “1” indicates that a matrixed surround signal is  
present. “2” indicates discrete left and right surround channels. “3” is used with dtS-eS  
bitstreams to represent the presence of the discrete surround back channel, in addition  
to the side surround left and right channels. “4” is used with 7.1-channel digital formats  
to indicate the presence of two discrete side surround channels and two discrete back  
surround channels.  
Audio Processing and Surround Sound  
Audio signals can be encoded in a variety of formats that can affect not only the quality  
of the sound but the number of speaker channels and the surround mode. you may also  
manually select a different surround mode, when available.  
Analog Audio Signals  
the third number is used for the lfe channel:0” indicates no lfe channel..1” indicates  
that an lfe channel is present.  
Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels – left and right. your Avr offers two  
options for analog playback:  
the 6.1-channel signals – dolby digital ex and dtS-eS matrix and discrete each  
include a flag that signals the receiver to decode the surround back channel, indicated as  
3/2/.1 ex-on for dolby digital ex materials, and 3/3/.1 eS-on for dtS-eS materials.  
1. DSP Surround Off Mode: the dSp Surround off mode digitizes the incoming signal  
and applies the bass-management settings, including speaker conguration, delay  
times and output levels. Select this mode when your front speakers are small, limited-  
range satellites and you are using a subwoofer. to select this mode, use a digital audio  
input or turn the tone control setting off, then select 2 ch Stereo mode.  
dolby digital 2.0 signals may include a dolby Surround flag indicating dS-on or dS-off,  
depending on whether the two-channel bitstream contains only stereo information or a  
downmix of a multichannel program that can be decoded by the Avr’s dolby pro logic  
decoder. by default, these signals are played in dolby pro logic IIx movie mode.  
2. Analog Surround Modes: your Avr is able to process two-channel audio signals  
to produce multichannel surround sound, even when no surround sound has been  
encoded in the recording. Among the available modes are the dolby pro logic II/IIx/IIz,  
hArmAn virtual Speaker, dtS neo:6, logic 7, 5 ch and 7 ch Stereo modes. to select  
one of these modes, press the Surround modes button.  
when a pcm signal is received, the pcm message and the sampling rate (32khz, 44.1khz,  
48khz or 96khz) will appear.  
when only two channels – left and right – are present, the analog surround modes may be  
used to decode the signal into multiple channels. If you would prefer a different surround  
format than the native signal’s digital encoding, press the Surround modes button to  
display the Surround modes menu (see Selecting a Surround mode, on page 32).  
Digital Audio Signals  
digital audio signals offer greater exibility and capacity than analog signals, and  
allow the encoding of discrete channel information directly into the signal. the result is  
improved sound quality and startling directionality, since each channel’s information is  
transmitted discretely. high-resolution recordings sound extraordinarily distortion-free,  
especially in the high frequencies.  
theAuto Select option sets the surround mode to the native signal’s digital encoding, e.g.,  
dolby digital, dtS, dolby truehd or dtS-hd master Audio. for two-channel materials, the  
Avr defaults to the logic 7 movie mode. If you prefer a different surround mode, select  
the surround-mode category: virtual Surround, Stereo, movie, music or video game.  
press the ok button to change the mode.  
Surround Modes  
Surround-mode selection depends upon the format of the incoming audio signal as well  
as your personal taste. Although there is never a time when all of the Avr’s surround  
modes are available, there is usually a wide variety of modes available for a given input.  
table A12 in the Appendix, on page 50, offers a brief description of each mode and  
indicates the types of incoming signals or digital bitstreams the mode may be used with.  
Additional information about the dolby and dtS modes is available on the companies’  
web sites: www.dolby.com and www.dtsonline.com.  
each surround-mode category is set to a default surround mode:  
virtual Surround: hArmAn virtual speaker.  
Stereo: 7-ch Stereo or 5-ch Stereo (depending on how many main speakers are  
present in the system).  
movie: logic 7 movie.  
music: logic 7 music.  
video game: logic 7 game.  
when in doubt, check the jacket of your disc for more information on which surround  
modes are available. usually, nonessential sections of the disc, such as trailers, extra  
materials or the disc menu, are available only in dolby digital 2.0 (two-channel) or  
pcm two-channel mode. If the main title is playing and the display shows one of these  
surround modes, look for an audio or language setup section in the disc’s menu. Also,  
make sure your disc player’s audio output is set to the original bitstream rather than two-  
channel pcm. Stop play and check the player’s output setting.  
you may select a different mode for each category. below is a complete list of available  
surround modes. (the actual surround modes available will depend on the number of  
speakers in your system.)  
virtual Surround: hArmAn virtual speaker.  
multichannel digital recordings are produced in ve-channel, six-channel or seven-  
channel formats, with or without a “.1” channel. the channels included in a typical  
5.1-channel recording are front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and  
lfe (low-frequency effects). the lfe channel is denoted as “.1” to represent the fact that  
it is limited to the low frequencies. 6.1-channel recordings add a single surround back  
channel, and 7.1-channel recordings add surround back left and surround back right  
channels to the 5.1-channel conguration. new formats are available in 7.1-channel  
congurations. your Avr is able to play the new audio formats, delivering a more exciting  
home theater experience.  
Stereo: 2-ch Stereo, 5-ch Stereo or 7-ch Stereo.  
movie: logic 7 movie, dtS neo:6 cinema, dolby pro logic II movie, dolby pro logic IIx  
movie, dolby pro logic IIz.  
music: logic 7 music, dtS neo:6 music, dolby pro logic II music, dolby pro logic IIx  
music, dolby pro logic IIz.  
video game: logic 7 game, dolby pro logic II game, dolby pro logic IIx game, dolby  
pro logic IIz.  
once you have programmed the surround mode for each type of audio, select the line  
from the Surround modes menu to override theAvr’s automatic surround-mode selection.  
the Avr will use the same surround mode the next time the source is selected.  
NOTE: to use the 6.1- and 7.1-channel surround modes, the surround back channels  
must be enabled. See manual Speaker Setup, on page 36 for more information.  
digital formats include dolby digital 2.0 (two channels only), dolby digital 5.1, dolby  
digital ex (6.1), dolby digital plus (7.1), dolby truehd (7.1), dtS-hd high-resolution  
Audio (7.1), dtS-hd master Audio (7.1), dtS 5.1, dtS-eS (6.1 matrix and discrete), dtS  
96/24 (5.1), two-channel pcm modes in 32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz or 96khz, and 5.1 or 7.1  
multichannel pcm.  
NOTE: dolby pro logic IIx is available only if you have set up the Avr’s Assigned Amp to  
Surround back; dolby pro logic IIz is available only if you have set up the Avr’s Assigned  
Amp to front height. See manual Speaker Setup, on page 36, for more information.  
please refer to table A12 in the Appendix for more information on which surround modes  
are available with different bitstreams.  
when the Avr receives a digital signal, it detects the encoding method and the number  
of channels, which is displayed briey as three numbers, separated by slashes (e.g.,  
“3/2/.1”).

Video Processing  
NOTE: each source has its own independent Audio effects settings.  
your Avr uses leading-edge faroudja dcdi cinemavideo-processing technology.  
Incoming video signals may be upscaled up to 1080p for outstanding video quality, even  
with analog video sources. the faroudja dcdi cinema dual 3d comb lters and 10-bit  
video processing eliminate the jagged edges and moiré patterns seen with less advanced  
processing. the Avr’s “torinovideo-processing circuitry generates on-screen graphics  
in high denition and blends them with the incoming video so that you can continue to  
watch a program while using the Avr’s system menus.  
Dolby Volume: See dolby volume, on page 28, for an explanation of dolby volume  
processing and its benets. refer to the table on that page for an explanation of each of  
the dolby volume settings.  
PLIIz Height Gain: when you have set the Assigned Amp to front height (see manual  
Speaker Setup, on page 36), the plIIz height gain setting will become available.the front  
height channels can greatly improve the spatial experience of a surround-sound system.  
Some listeners may want the depth and dimension that height channels provide, but  
from a seemingly transparent experience. other listeners may prefer to accentuate the  
front height channels by using a higher volume setting.  
the Avr’s video processor automatically provides the best picture based on the  
capabilities of your video display and the incoming source video. you may experiment  
with the video modes menu adjustments to try to improve the picture further.  
the plIIz height gain control gives you the ability to change the volume of the front  
height channels to suit different programs. the control has three settings: low (normal  
volume), mid (moderate volume increase) and high (maximum volume increase). note  
that you can also ne-tune the front height channel volume levels. See Setting channel  
output levels manually, on page 38, for details.

Sports: for sporting events.  
nature: for programs shot outdoors, in a natural setting.  
movie: for movies and many television broadcasts.  
Panorama: with the panorama mode turned on, some of the sound from the front  
speakers is moved to the surround speakers, creating an enveloping wraparound”  
effect. each press of the ok button toggles the setting on or off.  
custom: lets you adjust the picture settings manually. the brightness, contrast, color  
and Sharpness settings will appear as sliders with values ranging from 0 to 100.  
the default setting for each adjustment is 50. use the left/right buttons to change  
each setting’s value. See how to Adjust the custom picture Settings, on page 35, for  
detailed information about making these adjustments.  
Tone Control: this setting determines whether the treble and bass controls are active.  
when it’s set to off, the tone controls are out of the circuit, with no changes to the sound.  
when it’s set to on, the bass and treble controls are in the circuit.  
Picture Adjust: this setting changes the aspect ratio (width:height ratio) of the displayed

plasma and crt monitors may suffer from burn-inwhen the same image, such as the  
horizontal or vertical bars, is left on screen for a long period of time. Adjust the picture  
so that it lls the display’s screen. highlight this setting and press the ok button. each  
press of the up/down buttons changes the setting. press the ok button when the desired  
setting appears in the display box at the lower right corner of the video screen.  
Black Level: this setting is effective only when the Avr’s composite video monitor out  
connection is being used. Set the black level to on for a full black-level setting that  
provides the full dynamic range of black as presented on most dvds. when set to off, the  
black level setting complies with ntSc standards for video and may be more appropriate  
when your video display has limited video-processing capability.  
Auto fit: the Avr automatically adjusts the image, as required, to t the display’s  
capabilities.  
Deinterlacing: Analog video in the ntSc format is interlaced. that is, each refresh of  
the television screen displays only half the pixels in a frame, alternating between all  
of the even rows of pixels and all of the odd rows. modern video displays are capable  
of displaying the complete frame all at once by progressively scanning all of the rows  
of pixels from top to bottom. for optimal viewing on a progressive-scan display (e.g.,  
most flat-panel displays), the video images must be deinterlaced. when you are viewing  
images via the composite video monitor out connection, any time the Avr’s video output  
resolution is 480i, this setting may be turned off.  
height fit: Adjusts the image to eliminate any bars above or below it. bars may remain  
at the sides.  
width fit:Adjusts the image to eliminate any bars on the sides. bars may remain above  
and below the image.  
Zoom 1x: displays the image as received from the source. If the image is in the 4:3  
aspect ratio, on widescreen displays the pillarbox format may be used. If the image  
is in the 16:9 aspect ratio, on full-screen (4:3) displays the letterbox format may be  
used.  
Film Mode Detect: this setting is accessible only when the deinterlacing setting is  
turned on. It compensates for the different frame rates in which lm and video are shot.  
film is shot at a rate of 24 frames per second (progressive scan), while video is shot at  
slightly less than 60 frames per second (interlaced).the Avr is able to detect whether the  
program was originally shot on lm and transferred to video (e.g., to create a dvd), and  
will compensate appropriately for any authoring errors in the conversion. Select a setting  
of 3:2 (for ntSc materials), 2:2 (for pAl materials), off or Auto.  
Zoom 2x and Zoom 3x: Stretches the image evenly to ll the screen completely. the  
outer portions of the image may be cropped.  
experiment with this setting until you nd a pleasing display format for each program.  
Overscan: for historical reasons, there has been a convention among video broadcasters  
to reserve an area around the border of a video frame, called overscan,” that may be  
viewed on newer high-denition displays, although it was not visible on older analog  
television sets. however, since not all displays are capable of showing this portion of the  
frame, directors avoid placing important information in that area.

MPEG Noise Reduction: this setting is designed to address two specific types of video  
distortion: mosquito noise and blocking artifacts. If you see haziness or shimmering  
around the edges of objects or the scrolling credits in a film, or if the image appears  
to pixelate” into blocks, change the mpeg noise reduction setting from off to low,  
medium or high.  
Brightness Adjustment  
1. turn down the color control on your tv until the color bars appear in black and white.  
2. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all gray-scale bars  
separately and clearly.  
Cross Color Suppressor: turn this setting on to remove cross color artifacts, which  
can occur when high-frequency luminance (brightness) signals are misinterpreted as  
chrominance (color) signals, causing unwanted flickering, flashing colors or rainbow  
patterns. this setting is not available when you are using hdmI sources or when no video  
signal is present.  
3. Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all visible. the bar farthest  
to the left has to be as black as possible rather than gray, but the next gradation must  
clearly be distinct from it. the bars in the gray scale should gradually and evenly  
change from black to white.  
Flesh Tone Enhancement: turn this setting on to enhance the esh tone of peoples’  
skin. (on many tvs this enhancement will be subtle.)

Manual Speaker Setup  
Contrast Adjustment  
yourAvr is flexible and may be congured to work with most speakers and to compensate  
for the acoustic characteristics of your room.  
1. Adjust the contrast on your tv until you see a bright white bar in the lower right corner  
of the screen and a deep, dark, black bar to the left.  
the ezSet/eq process automatically detects the capabilities of each connected speaker  
and optimizes the Avr’s performance with your speakers. If you are unable to run ezSet/  
eq calibration, or if you wish to set up your Avr for your speakers manually, use the  
manual Speaker Setup on-screen menus.  
2. If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases when the contrast is turned  
up or the borders of white letters bloom (overlight) into the black areas (drastically  
decreasing the sharpness of the letters), the contrast has been turned up too much.  
reduce the contrast until these effects disappear and the video still looks realistic.  
before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the place your Speakers  
section, on page 13, and connect them to the Avr. consult the owner’s guide for the  
speakers or the manufacturer’s web site for their frequency-range specification.Although  
you may set the Avr’s individual channel levels “by ear,” an Spl (sound-pressure level)  
meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.  
3. If you are watching tv with ambient daylight, adjust the contrast so that a normal  
video picture looks the same as the surroundings in your room; that way the eye is  
relaxed when watching the tv picture. reduce the setting when the surrounding light  
is dimmed to improve the sharpness of the picture.  
record your conguration settings in tables A3 through A12 in the Appendix for easy  
re-entry after a system reset or after the Avr’s master power switch has been turned off  
or the unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks.  
4. the gray scale in the middle line should retain the same distinction between each  
bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, repeat both Step 3 of the brightness  
Adjustment and the contrast Adjustment.  
NOTE: when using the Avr’s manual Speaker Setup menus, select a video output  
resolution of 720p or higher to view graphics that simplify conguration.  
Color Adjustment  
1. when the brightness and contrast are set optimally, adjust the color control. Set the  
level so that the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone. If the color level is  
too high, depending on the tv, some of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity  
will not increase when the control is turned up. test the color intensity with a video of  
pictures of faces, flowers, fruit and vegetables.  
Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies  
without using the ezSet/eq process, the Avr cant detect how many speakers youve  
connected to it; nor can it determine their capabilities. consult the technical specifications  
for all of your speakers and locate the frequency response, usually given as a range, e.g.,  
100hz – 20khz ( 3db). write down the lowest frequency that each of your speakers  
is capable of playing (100hz in the above example) as the crossover in table A3 in the  
Appendix. note: this is not the same as the crossover frequency listed in the speaker’s  
specifications.  
2. refer to a large white bar in your test pattern to tweak the warmth of the picture using  
the tint control on your tv.  
Sharpness Adjustment  
contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer with the sharpness  
backed off from the maximum setting. reduce the Sharpness setting on your television,  
and the setting on the Avr, if necessary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines  
between the bars in the gray-scale portion of the test screen.  
for the subwoofer, write down the transducer size. the Avr’s bass management  
determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion  
of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers will result in  
bad sound and may even damage the speakers. the highest notes may not be heard at  
all through the subwoofer.  
with proper bass management, the Avr divides the source signal at a crossover point.  
All information above that crossover point is played through your system’s speakers,  
and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. this way,  
each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and  
enjoyable sound experience.  
Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances  
Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the  
center. however, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the  
listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from  
different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.  
your Avr provides a distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker  
placement differences.  
measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down  
in table A4 in the Appendix. even if all of your speakers are the same distance from  
the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Set the Speaker  
distances, on page 38.  
Step Three – Manual Speaker Setup Menu  
now you are ready to program the receiver. Sit in your usual listening position, and make  
the room as quiet as possible.  
with the receiver and video display turned on, press the Setup button to display the menu  
system. Select the Speaker Setup menu, and then select manual Setup.

All of the system’s speakers will appear with their current level settings. you can adjust  
each speaker’s level between –10db and +10db in 1db increments.  
Set the Speaker Distances  
while making adjustments, you can measure the channel levels in one of these ways:  
As described above in Step two, when you measured the distances from each of your  
speakers to the listening position, your Avr provides an adjustment that compensates  
for the different distances so that the sound from each speaker will reach the listening  
position at the proper time. this process will improve the clarity and detail of the sound.  
preferably, use a handheld Spl meter set to the c-weighting, slow scale. Adjust each  
speaker so that the meter reads 75db when the Avr’s built-in test noise is playing.  
by ear. Adjust the levels so that the test tone sounds equally loud to you when it plays  
through each speaker.  
on the manual Speaker Setup menu, move the cursor to the distance line and press the  
ok button to display the Adjust Speaker distance menu.  
to set your levels using the Avr’s internal test tone, select the menu’s test tone line and  
use the ok button to select between Auto and manual:

If you are using an external source to set your output levels, set test tone to off, use  
the up/down buttons to navigate to each speaker, and use the left/right buttons to  
adjust the speaker’s level while the source plays. note: If you are using a handheld Spl  
meter with external source material, such as a test disc or an audio selection, play it and  
adjust the Avr’s master volume control until the meter measures 75db. then adjust the  
individual speaker levels.  
enter the distance from each speaker to the listening position that you measured in Step  
two and recorded in table A4 in the Appendix (see page 46). Select a speaker, then use  
the left/right buttons to change the measurement. you can enter distances between 0  
and 30 feet (9.1m). the default distance for all speakers is 10 feet (3m).  
Reset Levels: to reset all levels to their factory defaults of 0db, scroll down to this line  
at the bottom of the menu and press the ok button.  
the default unit of measurement is feet. to change the unit to meters, return to the main

NOTE: If you set the Assigned Amp channels to Zone 2, you will not be able to adjust  
their delay settings.  
Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in Home Theater Systems:  
while setting your system’s individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your  
personal taste, here are some ideas you may nd helpful:  
Step Four – Setting Channel Output Levels Manually  
for a conventional stereo receiver, a simple balance control adjusts the stereo imaging  
by varying the relative loudness of the left and right channels. In a home theater system  
with up to seven main channels plus a subwoofer, achieving proper imaging becomes  
both more critical and more complex. the goal is to ensure that each channel is heard  
at the listening position with equal loudness (when signals of equal loudness are played  
through them).  
for lms and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an  
enveloping, realistic sound eld that draws you into the lm or music program without  
drawing your attention away from the action on the screen.  
for multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound eld  
that places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound eld that places  
the musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as  
you would experience in a concert hall).  
your Avr’s ezSet/eq calibration can handle this critical task for you simply and  
automatically. however, the Avr’s Adjust Speaker levels menu allows you to calibrate  
the levels manually, either using the system’s built-in test tone or while playing source  
material.  
In most 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel lm soundtracks, the surround speakers are  
not intended to be as loud or as active as the front speakers. Adjusting the surround  
speakers so they are always as loud as the front speakers could make dialogue difcult  
to understand and will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud.  
press the Setup button to display the menu system, and then navigate to the Speaker  
Setup line. press the ok button to display the Speaker Setup menu. Select manual Setup,  
press the ok button, and then navigate to the level Adjust line. press the ok button to  
display the Adjust Speaker levels menu.  
Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:  
Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for lms, while the  
ideal setting for lms is too quiet for music. when setting the subwoofer volume, listen  
to both music and lms with strong bass content and nd a “middle groundvolume  
level that works for both.  
Manual Speaker Setup  
Adjust Speaker Levels  
Test Tone  
Off  
If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in a  
different location. placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase its  
bass output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to lessen  
its bass output.

maximum of 90 minutes. the Sleep off setting disables the sleep timer.  
Programming Macro (Activity) Commands  
when the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically dim to half  
brightness.  
In addition to their normal functions, you can also use the 0 – 9 number buttons and Avr  
power on button to store macro (Activity) commands – up to 11 of them. each macro  
can send out up to 19 commands at one time from a single button push. Any Avr remote  
control button’s function from any mode (except the back/exit button, the light button,  
and the Activity button) can be programmed into a macro.  
If you press the Sleep button after the timer has been set, the remaining play time will be  
displayed. press the Sleep button again to change the play time.  
NOTE: use caution when programming complicated macros. It isnt possible to program  
a pause or delay before sending additional commands after a “power oncommand, and  
the component may not be ready to respond to commands immediately after powering  
on.  
Updating Your Network Software  
from time to time, updates to your network sofwtare may become available. to check for  
and download these updates:  
to program a macro:  
1. After the Avr has connected to your network, press the remote’s Internet radio source  
button.  
1. to enter the programming mode, simultaneously press and hold the Activity button and  
the number button or Avr power on button to which you want to assign the macro.  
2. on the Avr front panel, simultaneously press and hold the Surround modes and back/  
exit buttons.  
2. press in up to 19 commands that you want stored in that macro button. during each  
successive button selection, the Source Selector button led will blink once. press the  
Source Selector button for each device (or Setup button for the Avr itself) before you  
enter individual commands. this step counts as one of the 19 commands allowed for  
each macro.

6. when the update is completed the Avr will automatically power off, and after ve  
seconds will automatically power back on. once the Avr turns back on it’s ready to  
use.  
Resetting the Remote  
to reset the remote to its factory default condition, simultaneously press and hold the tv  
Source Selector button and the “0” number button. when the tv Source button relights,  
enter the code “333.when the tv button goes out, and all of the Source Selector buttons  
flash, the remote control will be reset.  
Processor Reset  
If the Avr behaves erratically after a power surge, first turn off the rear-panel main  
power switch and unplug the Ac power cord for at least 3 minutes. plug the cord back  
in and turn the receiver on. If this procedure doesnt help, reset the Avr’s processor as  
described below.  
NOTE: A processor reset erases all user congurations, including video resolution,  
speaker and level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings  
from your notes in the Appendix worksheets.  
To reset the AVR’s processor:  
1. press the front-panel Standby/on switch to place the unit in the Standby mode (the  
power Indicator will turn amber).  
2. press and hold the front-panel ok button for at least 5 seconds until the reSet  
message appears on the front-panel message display.  
NOTE: After performing a processor reset, wait at least 1 minute before pressing any  
Source Selector buttons.  
If the receiver does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized  
harman kardon service center for assistance. Authorized service centers may be located  
by visiting our web site at www.harmankardon.com.

An expansion of dolby pro logic II that adds a surround back channel which may  
be played through one or two surround back speakers. the dolby pro logic IIx  
modes may be selected not only with dolby digital bitstreams, but thanks to the  
Avr’s post-processor, they may also be used with some dtS bitstreams to add a  
surround back channel to 5.1 modes.

dtS digital  
using a different encoding/decoding method than dolby digital,  
dtS digital also provides up to ve discrete main channels, plus an  
lfe channel.  
dtS 1/0/.0 or .1, 2/0/.0 or .1, 3/0/.0 or .1, 3/1/.0 or .1, 2/2/.0 or  
.1, 3/2/.0 or .1  
dtS-eS matrix (played as 5.1)  
dtS-eS discrete (played as 5.1)  
dtS-hd  
dtS-hd is a new high-denition audio format that complements the high-  
denition video found on blu-ray disc and hd-dvd discs. It is transmitted using  
a dtS core with high-resolution extensions. even when only dtS 5.1 surround  
sound is desired (or available, if the multizone system is in use), the higher  
capacity of high-resolution discs serves up dtS at twice the bit rate used on  
dvd-video discs.

dtS-hd master Audio  
dtS-eS matrix  
dtS-hd master Audio technology delivers bit-for-bit reproductions of the studio  
master recording in up to 7.1 channels for an incredibly accurate performance.  
blu-ray disc or hd-dvd discs encoded with dtS-hd master  
Audio technology, delivered via hdmI connection  
dtS extended Surround adds a single surround back channel to dtS 5.1  
digital surround sound. the matrix version includes the surround back channel  
information matrixed” into the left and right (side) surround channels for  
compatibility with 5.1-channel systems.  
dtS-eS matrix  
dtS-eS discrete  
dtS Stereo  
dtS-eS discrete is another extended Surround mode that adds a surround back  
channel, but this information is encoded discretely on the disc and is not derived  
from information contained in the surround channels.  
dtS-eS discrete  
delivers a two-channel downmix of dtS digital materials or presents a matrix-  
encoded surround presentation.

logic 7  
mode group  
A hArmAn proprietary technology, logic 7 technology enhances two-channel  
and matrix-encoded recordings by deriving separate information for the surround  
back channels. It provides more accurate placement of sound, improves panning  
and expands the sound eld, even when used with 5.1-channel systems.  
logic 7 technology uses 96khz processing and is available in 5.1-or 7.1-channel  
modes. three variants are available.  
See below  
logic 7  
movie  
especially suited to two-channel sources containing dolby Surround or matrix  
encoding, logic 7 movie mode increases center-channel intelligibility. the Avr is  
programmed at the factory to default to this mode for two-channel signals.

2-channel Stereo  
useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through both  
the front and surround speakers on each side, while the center speaker plays a  
summed mono mix.  
Analog (two-channel)  
tuner  
pcm (32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 96khz)  
expands the 5-channel Stereo presentation to include the surround back  
channels.  
Analog (two-channel)  
tuner  
pcm (32khz, 44.1khz, 48khz, 96khz)  
turns off all surround processing and plays a pure two-channel signal or a  
downmix of a multichannel signal. the signal is digitized and bass management  
settings are applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used.
