Radio Antenna connectors: Connect the supplied AM and FM antennas to their  
respective terminals for radio reception.  
IR and Trigger connectors: The following IR and trigger connectors are provided:  
Wi-Fi® Antenna connector (AVR 3700/AVR 370): If your home network is Wi-Fi,  
connect the supplied Wi-Fi antenna here to enjoy Internet radio and content from DLNA®-  
compatible devices that are connected to the network. You do not need to make a wired  
network connection.  
s IR Remote In/Out connectors: When the IR sensor on the front panel is blocked  
(such as when the AVR is installed inside a cabinet), connect an optional IR receiver  
to the IR Remote In jack. The IR Remote Out jack may be connected to the IR input of  
a compatible product to enable remote control through the AVR.  
Network connector: If your home network is wired, use a Cat. 5 or Cat. 5E Ethernet  
cable (not supplied) to connect the AVR’s Network connector to your home network to  
enjoy Internet radio and content from DLNA-compatible devices that are connected to the  
network. See Connect to Your Home Network, on page 20, for more information.  
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.  
s Zone 2 IR Input connector: Connect a remote IR receiver located in Zone 2 of a  
multizone system to this jack to control the AVR (and any source devices connected  
to the Remote IR Output connector) from the remote zone.  
s 12V Trigger connector: This connector provides 12V DC whenever the AVR is on. It  
can be used to turn on and off other devices such as a powered subwoofer.  
Speaker connectors: Use two-conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals  
to the correct speaker. See Connect Your Speakers, on page 17, for more information.  
NOTE: The Assigned Amp speaker connectors are used for the surround back  
channels in a 7.1- channel home theater, or you can reassign them to a remote room  
for multizone operation or to front height channels for Dolby® Pro Logic IIz operation.  
See Place Your Speakers, on page XX, for more information.  
HDMI Output connectors: If your TV has an HDMI connector, use an HDMI cable (not  
included) to connect it to the AVR’s HDMI 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 video source devices you connect to the AVR. NOTE: The AVR 3700  
and AVR 370 have two HDMI Out connectors.  
Digital Audio 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.  
Notes on using the HDMI Output connector:  
s When connecting a DVI-equipped display to the HDMI Out connector, use an  
HDMI-to-DVI adapter and make a separate audio connection.  
RS-232 connector: This connector is used to connect to external control hardware.  
Consult a certified professional installer for more information.  
s Make sure the HDMI-equipped display is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content  
Protection)-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect it via an HDMI connection; use an  
analog video connection instead and make a separate audio connection.  
Fan Vents: These vents are used by the AVR’s fan to cool the system. Maintain a  
clearance of at least three inches (75mm) from the nearest surface to avoid overheating  
the unit. It is normal for the fan to remain off at most normal volume levels. An automatic  
temperature sensor turns the fan on only when it is needed.  
Analog Video connectors: The following Analog Video connectors are provided:  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never block the fan vents. Doing so could allow the AVR to  
overheat to dangerous levels.  
s Composite Video Input connectors: Use composite video connectors for video  
source devices that don’t 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.  
Main Power switch: This mechanical switch turns the AVR’s power supply on or off. It is  
usually left on, and it cannot be turned on or off using the remote control.  
s Component Video Input connectors: If any of your video source devices have  
component video connectors (and do not have HDMI connectors), using the  
component video connectors will provide superior video performance. You will also  
need to make an audio connection from the device to the receiver. See Connect Your  
Audio and Video Source Devices, on page 18, for more information.  
AC Input connector: After you have made and verified all other connections, plug the  
supplied AC power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.  
s Composite Video Monitor Out connector: If your TV or video display does not  
have an HDMI connector, use a composite video cable (not included) to connect the  
AVR’s Composite Video Monitor Out connector to your TV ’s composite video input.  
NOTE: The HDMI connection to your TV is preferred. If you use the composite video  
connection to your TV, you will not be able to view the AVR’s on-screen menus.  
Analog Audio connectors: The following analog audio connectors are provided:  
s Analog Audio Input connectors: Use the AVR’s Analog Audio Input connectors for  
source devices that don’t have HDMI or digital audio connectors. See Connect Your  
Audio and Video Source Devices, on page 18, for more information.  
s Analog Rec[ord] Out connectors: 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.  
s Zone 2 Out connectors: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier to power the  
speakers in the remote zone of a multizone system.  
Pre-Out connectors (AVR 3700/AVR 370): Connect these jacks to external amplifiers if  
more power is desired.The function of the Surround Back/Front Height/Zone 2 connectors  
is determined by the setting you make for the Assigned Amp. See Manual Speaker Setup:

Introduction to Home Theater  
Surround Modes  
Introduction to Home Theater  
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:  
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.  
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.  
s Dolby Laboratories: Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital  
EX, Dolby Pro Logic® IIx and IIz.  
s DTS: DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS, DTS-ES (Discrete  
and Matrix), DTS Neo:6®, DTS 96/24.  
Multichannel Audio  
s HARMAN International: Logic 7®, HARMAN virtual speaker, HARMAN headphone.  
The main benefit 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.  
s Stereo Modes: Generic modes that expand upon conventional two-channel stereo,  
including 5CH and 7CH Stereo.  
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.  
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:  
s 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.  
s 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-there” listening  
experience.  
s 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 flyovers.  
s 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 Audio™  
and Logic 7® 7.1 modes that are designed for 7.1-channel systems.  
s Front Height Left and Right: 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.  
NOTE: You can set up your system to use either surround back speakers or front height  
speakers; you cannot use both.  
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.  
s 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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 you’re using only two speakers  
with your AVR, place them in the front left and right positions.  
TV  
SUB

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.  
Placing the Surround Speakers in a 7.1-Channel System  
SL  
SR  
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  
Speaker Positioning for 5.1-Channel Systems  
TV  
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.  
SUB  
C
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.  
SL  
SR  
NOTE: Your receiver will sound its best when the same model or brand of loudspeaker  
is used for all positions.  
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 find the location  
that produces the best results in your particular listening room. With that in mind, these  
rules will help you get started:  
SBL  
SBR  
s Placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will increase the amount of bass in  
the room.  
TV  
SUB  
FR  
C
s Placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will maximize the amount of bass in  
the room.  
FL  
FHL*  
FHR*  
s 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.  
s 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 find the location where the bass performance is  
best. Place the subwoofer in that location.  
SL  
SR  
* 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  
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).  
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.  
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.

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.

Source Device Connections  
Composite Video  
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 (connected to the AVR’s USB port) 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. 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.  
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.  
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.  
Digital Audio Connections – HDMI  
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 seven rear-panel HDMI input connectors, and one HDMI  
monitor output connector. (The AVRs 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.  
1. Unscrew Cap  
2. Insert Bare Wire  
3. Tighten Cap  
The AVR’s HDMI 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. (The AVR 3700 and AVR 370 have two HDMI output connections.)  
Banana plugs are inserted into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap, as shown  
below:  
A. Tighten Cap  
B. Insert Banana Connector into Hole in Cap  
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.

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.  
Analog Video Connections – Composite Video  
Digital Audio Connections – Optical  
Your AVR uses two types of analog video connections: composite video and component  
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.  
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-definition 1080p resolution.

AVR  
Types of Home Theater System Connections  
Radio Connections  
RS-232 Connector  
Your AVR uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas. The FM antenna  
uses a 75-ohm F-connector.  
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.  
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.  
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 Ethernet cable to connect the AVR’s RJ-45 connector to your home network.  
USB Port  
The AVR can play audio files from an Apple iOS® device connected to the USB port,  
and allows you to control the iOS device via the AVR remote control. The AVR can also  
play MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB device inserted into the USB port. Insert the  
connector or device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may  
insert or remove the connector or device at any time – there is no installation or ejection  
procedure.  
The USB port on your AVR is also used to perform firmware 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.  
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.

Making Connections  
However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the  
input connections to any of the Source Buttons listed in the table according to where you  
actually connect each of your source devices.  
Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices  
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray  
Disc™ or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different  
types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, component  
video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio.  
The connectors are not labeled for specific types of source devices; they are labeled  
numerically, so you can connect your devices according to your individual system’s  
make-up.  
As you connect your various source devices, fill out the “Connected Component” column  
in the table – it will make it easier for you to assign the various source buttons after  
you have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the  
source-button assignments and fill in the “Assigned Connector(s)” column later in the  
setup process.)  
Note: You cannot assign connectors to the Network, Radio and USB source buttons.  
Your AVR’s various source buttons have default assignments to different input connectors  
(listed in the “Default Connector(s)” column of the table below). For ease of setup, you  
should connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding default  
source button is assigned (e.g., connect your Blu-ray Disc player to HDMI 1).

Making Connections  
Connect to Your Home Network  
Use a Cat. 5 or Cat. 5E cable (not supplied) to connect the AVR’s Network connector to  
your home network to enjoy Internet radio and content from DLNA-compatible devices  
that are connected to the network.  
Install a Multizone System  
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.

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.  
AVR 3700/AVR 370 only:  
If your home network is Wi-Fi®, attach the supplied Wi-Fi antenna to the AVR. You do not  
need to make a wired network connection.  
This method offers the benefit 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.

B. Connect an external amplifier to the AVR’s Zone 2 Out connectors. This method  
offers the benefit of retaining a 7.1-channel home theater in the main room simultaneously  
with multizone operation, although it does require an additional amplifier for Zone 2.  
Connect IR Equipment  
The AVR 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:  
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 Zone 2 amplifier you can distribute the audio signal to a  
single pair of speakers or to several pairs placed in different rooms.  
s 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 In jack.

the same Power code for several models, while other function codes vary. Repeat this  
process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the  
device’s functions.  
6. If you searched through the remote’s code library to find the code, you can find 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.  
Repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVR remote.  
NOTE: Remove the protective plastic from the AVR’s front panel so it doesn’t reduce the  
remote control’s effectiveness.  
Reassigning a Source Selector Button for a Different Device Type  
Program the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TV  
You can program your AVR remote to control many brands and models of audio/video  
source devices and TVs. The remote is also ready to operate your iPod or iPhone when it  
is connected to the AVR’s front-panel USB port.  
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).  
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.  
Each of the remote’s Source Selector buttons has been preprogrammed to control certain  
types of source devices:  
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.

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 devices of its type by pressing the remote’s Up button  
repeatedly until the device turns off. When it does, press the Source Selector button  
from Step 3 to save the code.  
AUX: Controls HDTV tuner boxes, CD players, VCRs and PVDs.  
Although the Source Selector buttons are preprogrammed for the device types listed  
above, you can reassign a Source Selector button to a different device type. See  
Reassigning a Source Selector Button for a Different Device Type, on page 24.  
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.  
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.  
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-  
through” programming (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.  
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.  
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.

Notes:  
Resolution to Display: This setting reflects the video output resolution, which is  
dependent upon the capabilities of your TV or video display.  
s When using your AVR with these new settings, be sure to press the correct  
source selectors for your 2D and 3D sources.  
s 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.)  
s If you are viewing 3D sources when an HDMI Bypass input is active, the on-  
screen indications for volume level will not appear.This is normal, since all video  
processing is removed in the HDMI Bypass mode.  
s If your video sources are always operating at 720p or higher resolution, you  
may find the HDMI Bypass mode acceptable for normal 2D viewing as well  
as for 3D viewing. In this case, you may find it more convenient to use the 3D  
sources at all times.  
s If you connected your TV to the AVR’s Composite Video Monitor Out connector, you  
must set the resolution to “480i” (AVR 3700/AVR 2700) or to “576p” (AVR 370/AVR  
270) to view any content.  
NOTE: If your connected TV is 4K video capable, the AVR will automatically pass 4K  
video sources through to the TV in their native resolution and will upscale non-4K video  
sources up to 4K.  
s If you see side-by-side or top-and-bottom images while watching a 3D program,  
manually switch to the HDMI Bypass mode.  
Audio Effects: This submenu allows you to adjust the Dolby Volume and Dolby PLII/IIx/  
IIz settings, the bass and treble tone controls, the LFE trim and the Equalization On/Off  
setting for each source independently. We suggest leaving this submenu at its default  
settings and returning to it later if your system requires fine-tuning. See Audio Effects  
Button, on page 34, for more information.  
Change Name: This selection lets you change the display name for the source, which  
is useful if your source’s device type is different from the source’s preprogrammed  
name. Select this line and use the Up/Down buttons to scroll forward or reverse through  
the alphanumeric characters. When the desired character appears, use the Left/Right  
buttons to move the cursor to the next or previous position. Move the cursor again to  
leave a blank space. When you have finished, press the OK Button. The name will appear  
on the AVR’s front panel and throughout the on-screen menu system.  
Video Modes: This submenu allows you to make picture adjustments for each source  
independently. We suggest leaving the settings at their factory defaults. You should make  
picture adjustments to your video display first and use this menu only for fine-tuning. See  
Video Processing, on page 34, for more information.  
Adjust Lip Sync: This selection lets you resynchronize the audio and video signals from  
a source to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip-sync issues can occur when the video  
portion of a signal undergoes additional processing in either the source device or the  
video display. When you make a Lip Sync adjustment, the Lip Sync menu appears by  
itself, enabling you to view the video while listening to the audio. Use the Left/Right  
buttons to delay the audio by up to 180ms.  
Surround Modes: This submenu lets you program surround modes for movies, music  
and games for each source independently. Digital surround signals, such as Dolby Digital  
and DTS bitstreams, are automatically played in their native formats, although you may  
change the surround mode. See Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 33, for  
more information.

Operating Your AVR  
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  
Volume processing desired.  
Operating Your AVR  
Now that you have installed your components and completed a basic configuration, you  
are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system.  
HARMAN AVR App  
Setting  
Off  
Effect  
For easy control of your AVR with your hand-held device, download the free Harman  
Kardon AVR app from iTunes App Store for compatible Apple products, or from Google  
Play for compatible Android powered smartphones and tablets.  
No Dolby Volume processing  
Only Dolby Volume Modeler module is active  
Low  
The Harman Kardon AVR App controls virtually all the functions of AVR 3700, AVR 370,  
AVR 2700 and AVR 270 receivers that are connected to the same network as the device  
that has the app installed.With this easy-to-use app you can turn the AVR on or off, select  
a source, control the volume and virtually any other function. You can also access and  
navigate all of the AVR’s on-screen setup menus.  
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  
Controlling the Volume  
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.  
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).  
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.  
Dolby Volume Calibration  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Dolby Volume  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
To adjust the Dolby Volume setting, press the Audio Effects button. The Audio Effects  
submenu will appear.

s Check the source selection and video input assignment.  
s Check all connections for a loose or incorrect connection.  
s Check the video input selection on the TV/display device.  
s 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.  
Once you have tuned an FM station, toggling the Mode setting also switches the radio  
between stereo and monaural reception. (Mono reception may improve reception of  
weaker stations.)  
Preset Stations  
Additional Tips for Troubleshooting HDMI Connections  
You can store a total of 30 stations (AM and FM combined) as presets. When you want  
to save the currently tuned station as a preset, press the OK button, and two dashes will  
flash. Use the Number buttons to enter the desired preset number.  
s Turn off all devices (including the TV, the AVR and any source components).  
s 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.  
To tune to a preset station:  
s Carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the AVR. Connect the  
cable from the AVR to the TV last.  
s Press the Left/Right buttons.  
s Press the skip forward/skip backward Transport Control buttons.  
s Press the Menu button and scroll to the desired preset, then press the OK button.  
s Turn on the devices in this order: TV, AVR, source devices.  
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.

The third number is used for the LFE channel: “0” indicates no LFE channel. “.1”  
indicates that an LFE channel is present.  
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.  
Analog Audio Signals  
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.  
Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels – left and right. 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 flexibility 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.  
The Auto 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’  
Each surround-mode category is set to a default surround mode:  
s Virtual Surround: HARMAN virtual speaker.  
s Stereo: 7-CH Stereo or 5-CH Stereo (depending on how many main speakers are  
present in the system).  
s Movie: Logic 7 Movie.  
s Music: Logic 7 Music.  
s 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.)  
s Virtual Surround: HARMAN virtual speaker.  
Multichannel digital recordings are produced in five-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 configuration. New formats are available in 7.1-channel  
configurations. Your AVR is able to play the new audio formats, delivering a more exciting  
home theater experience.  
s Stereo: 2-CH Stereo, 5-CH Stereo or 7-CH Stereo.  
s Movie: Logic 7 Movie, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic  
IIx Movie, Dolby Pro Logic IIz.  
s Music: Logic 7 Music, DTS Neo:6 Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Dolby Pro Logic  
IIx Music, Dolby Pro Logic IIz.  
s Video Game: Logic 7 Game, Dolby Pro Logic II Game, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Game,  
Dolby Pro Logic IIz.  
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.  
Once you have programmed the surround mode for each type of audio, select the  
line from the Surround Modes menu to override the AVR’s automatic surround-mode  
selection.The AVR will use the same surround mode the next time the source is selected.  
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 briefly as three numbers, separated by slashes (e.g.,  
“3/2/.1”).  
The first 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.

Sharpness Adjustment  
Set the Video Mode to Custom to display the picture settings.  
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.

yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta, red, blue, black.  
s The color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars.  
s The performance of the color circuits in your TV (with video signals); bar edges  
should show no vertical crawling dots.  
Noise Reduction: Adjust this setting to Low, Medium or High to filter out signal noise.  
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.  
Use the gray scale and the black/white fields in the test pattern to adjust the brightness  
and contrast.  
Brightness Adjustment  
1. Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars appear in black and white.  
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.  
2. Adjust the Contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all gray-scale bars  
separately and clearly.  
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.  
Film Mode Detect: This setting is accessible only when the Deinterlacing setting is  
turned on. It compensates for the different frame rates in which film 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 film 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.  
Contrast Adjustment  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.

Now you are ready to program the receiver. Sit in your usual listening position, and make  
the room as quiet as possible.  
YourAVR is flexible and may be configured to work with most speakers and to compensate  
for the acoustic characteristics of your room.  
With the receiver and video display turned on, press the AVR button to display the menu  
system. Select the Speaker Setup menu, and then select Manual Setup.  
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.  
Speaker Setup  
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.

Record your configuration 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.  
NOTE: When using the AVR’s Manual Speaker Setup menus, select a video output  
resolution of 720p or higher to view graphics that simplify configuration.  
If you have already run the EzSet/EQ process as explained in Configure the AVR for Your  
Speakers, on page 25, the AVR saved the results. To fine-tune the EzSet/EQ results, or to  
configure the AVR from scratch, select Manual Setup. A screen similar to the one shown  
below will appear.  
Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies  
Without using the EzSet/EQ process, the AVR can’t detect how many speakers you’ve  
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.  
Speaker Setup  
Number of Speakers  
Level Adjust  
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.  
NOTE: All of the speaker setup submenus include the Back option. To save the current  
settings, select the Back option.  
To reconfigure the speakers from scratch, select the Reset option.  
Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances  
For best results, adjust the submenus in this order: Number of Speakers, Crossover (Size),  
Sub Mode, Distance and Level Adjust.  
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.  
Number of Speakers  
This selection lets you program the correct setting for each speaker group. The settings  
in this menu affect the remainder of the speaker setup process and the availability of  
various surround modes at any time.  
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.  
Select ON when the speakers are present in the system; select OFF for positions where  
no speakers are installed. The Front Left & Right setting is always ON and may not be

For each speaker group, select one of these eight crossover frequencies: Large, 40Hz,  
60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the speaker’s crossover frequency is  
below 40Hz, select the first option, “Large.” This setting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s  
physical size but to its frequency response, which is also called “full range.”  
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).  
We recommend that you set the Subwoofer Crossover Frequency to the same frequency  
you used for the Front Left & Right speaker setting. If you set the Front Left & Right  
speakers to “Large”, we recommend that you experiment with different Subwoofer  
Crossover Frequency settings to find the one that produces the best blend between the  
subwoofer and Front Left & Right speakers with your system in your room.  
The default unit of measurement is feet. To change the unit to meters, return to the main

Step Four – Setting Channel Output Levels Manually  
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.  
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 up to two subwoofers, 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).  
When you have finished adjusting the speaker levels, record the settings in Table A3 in  
the Appendix. Then select the Back option or press the Back/Exit Button.  
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 find helpful:  
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.  
s For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an  
enveloping, realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program  
without drawing your attention away from the action on the screen.  
Press the AVR 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.  
s For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field  
that places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places  
the musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers  
(as you would experience in a concert hall).  
s In most 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel film 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  
difficult to understand and will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud.

s 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.  
Sub 2  
Reset Levels  
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.  
While making adjustments, you can measure the channel levels in one of these ways:  
s 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.  
s By ear.Adjust the levels so that the test tone sounds equally loud to you when it plays  
through each speaker.  
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:  
Auto: The test tone will automatically circulate to all speakers, as indicated by the  
highlight bar. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the level for any speaker when the  
test tone is paused there. Use the Up/Down buttons to move the cursor to another line,  
and the test tone will follow the cursor. To stop the test tone, use the Up/Down buttons to  
move the cursor out of the screen’s speaker listings area.  
Manual: The test tone will stay on the current speaker until you use the Up/Down  
buttons to move it to another speaker. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the level for  
the speaker through which the test tone is playing.  
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.

Listening in Zone 2  
With the multizone system in use, you may enjoy an exciting 5.1-channel home theater  
presentation in the main listening area, while others listen to the same program or an  
entirely different source in another room. See Install a Multizone System, on page 21, for  
installation information.  
You control the AVR’s multizone system from the on-screen Zone 2 menu. Press the AVR  
button, and use the Up/Down buttons to navigate to the Zone 2 line. Press the OK button  
to display the Zone 2 menu.  
Zone 2

Volume:  
Assigned AMP:  
Zone 2  
Status: This line lets you turn Zone 2 on or off.  
Source: This line lets you select the source input for Zone 2. You may select a different  
source from the one currently operating in the main listening area. However, if the same  
source has been selected for both the main listening area and Zone 2, listeners in both  
areas will hear the same content.  
Only analog audio sources are available to the multizone system. To hear digital devices  
such as a CD player in Zone 2, follow these steps:  
1. In addition to making a digital audio connection, connect the source device’s analog  
audio outputs to the AVR. Make a note in Table A5 on page 47 to record which set of  
analog inputs you used.  
2. In the Info menu, scroll down to the Zone 2 Audio setting and select the analog audio  
input. (Leave the Audio Input From Source set to the digital input.)  
Notes about listening in Zone 2:  
s Although you can listen to iPod as a source in Zone 2, you cannot begin iPod  
playback from within Zone 2. You must initially select iPod as a source in Zone 1  
and begin playback of a track or playlist from there. Then you can select iPod as the  
Zone 2 source and control playback from within Zone 2 even if you switch Zone 1  
to a different source.  
s Only one (1) internal source (iPod, USB, FM/AM radio, vTuner, Network) can be active  
at a time across both zones. For example, if you are listening to iPod as the source  
in Zone 1 and switch the source in Zone 2 to FM radio, it will switch the source in  
Zone 1 to FM (and vice versa). To listen to different sources in Zone 1 and Zone 2 at  
the same time, at least one source must be one of the AVR’s configurable external  
sources (Cable/Sat, Disc, DVR, TV, Game, Media Server, Aux, Buttons A/B/C/D) that is  
connected to one of the AVR’s analog audio inputs.  
Volume: Highlight this line, and use the Left/Right buttons to control the volume in Zone 2.  
Assigned AMP: This line lets you assign the Assigned AMP channels to “Zone 2” for  
multizone operation (see Number of Speakers, on page 37). When this line is set to Zone  
2, you may configure the main listening room for only up to 5.1 channels.  
To operate the multizone system using the main remote, slide the Zone Select Switch at  
the bottom of the remote to the “2” position.  
AVR 3700/AVR 370 only: To select a zone using the Zone 2 remote, press the Zone  
Selector, and the Zone Indicator light will turn green when the remote is set to operate  
Zone 1 or red to operate Zone 2.

Advanced Remote Control Programming  
Recording  
Advanced Remote Control Programming  
Two-channel analog audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are normally  
available at the appropriate recording outputs. To make a recording, connect your audio  
or video recorder to the appropriate AVR output connectors as described in the Making  
Connections section, insert blank media in the recorder and make sure the recorder  
is turned on and recording while the source is playing. Refer to the recording device’s  
instructions for complete information about making recordings.  
Remote Channel-Control Punch-Through  
The punch-through feature allows you to operate one component while setting certain  
groups of controls to operate another component. For example, while using theAVR controls  
for surround modes and other audio functions, you may also use the remote to operate the  
transport controls of your Blu-ray Disc player. Or while using the remote to control video  
functions on your TV, you may also use the remote to change channels on your cable box.  
NOTES:  
1. The AVR only records analog audio signals. It does not convert digital audio signals  
to analog.  
To program punch-through control while operating any device:  
1. For three seconds press and hold the Source Selector button for the main device the  
remote will be operating. The Source Selector will light up, go dark and then light up  
again, indicating the remote is in Program mode and that you may release the button.  
2. HDMI and component video sources are not available for recording.  
3. Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material  
you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by law.  
2. Select the type of punch-through programming.  
a) For channel-control punch-through, press the Channel Up button.  
b) To program transport-control punch-through, press the Play transport-control button.  
Sleep Timer  
The sleep timer sets the AVR to play for up to 90 minutes and then turn off automatically.  
3. Press the Source Selector button for the device whose channel or transport controls  
you will use while operating the device selected in the first step. The Source Selector  
button will flash to confirm.  
Press the Sleep button on the remote, and the time until turn-off will be displayed.  
Each additional press of the Sleep button increases the play time by 10 minutes, with a  
maximum of 90 minutes. The SLEEP OFF setting disables the sleep timer.  
For example, to watch the TV while changing channels using the cable box, press and  
hold the TV button until it lights.Then press the Channel Up button, followed by the Cable/  
SAT button.  
When the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically dim to half  
brightness.  
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.  
To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the  
same Source Selector button in Steps 1 and 3.  
Resetting the Remote  
NOTE: The Volume and Mute controls are always dedicated to the AVR.  
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.  
Programming Macro (Activity) Commands  
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.  
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 doesn’t help, reset the AVR’s processor as  
described below.  
NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated Macros. It isn’t possible to program  
a pause or delay before sending additional commands after a “Power On” command, and  
the component may not be ready to respond to commands immediately after powering on.  
NOTE: A processor reset erases all user configurations, 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 program a Macro:  
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.  
To reset the AVR’s processor:  
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.  
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 Surround Modes button for at least 5 seconds until the  
RESET message appears on the front-panel Message Display.  
s You can select functions from another mode by first pressing the corresponding  
Source Selector button and then the buttons where those functions are located  
within that mode. Pressing a Source Selector button also counts as one command.  
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  
s For power on, press the AVR or Device Power On button.  
s For power off, press the AVR or Device Power Off button.  
3. Press the Activity button to end the programming process. The last Source Selector  
button (or the Setup button) will flash three times.  
It isn’t possible to “edit” a command within a Macro. To erase the Macro:  
1. Press and hold the Activity Button and the button into which you programmed the  
Macro until the Source Selector or Setup button lights up.  
2. Press the Activity button to erase the Macro.  
To execute a Macro:  
Press the Activity button, then press the button into which you programmed the Macro.  
IMPORTANT: Keep the remote aimed at the components until all of the Macro commands  
have been executed. The remote can take up to 10 seconds to send out 19 Macro  
commands.

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 field, 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
