Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon

AVR5000 you are about to begin many years of

listening enjoyment. The AVR5000 has been cus-

tom designed to provide all the excitement and

detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance

of musical selections. With onboard Dolby*

Digital and DTS^†decoding, the AVR5000 delivers

six discrete channels of audio that take advan-

tage of the digital sound tracks from the latest

DVD and LD releases and Digital Television

broadcasts.

Finally, the AVR5000 is among the very few A/V

receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so

that you may listen to the latest music selections

directly from compatible computers or playback

devices with the power and fidelity you expect

from Harman Kardon.

Another Harman Kardon exclusive is VMAx™,

which uses proprietary processing to create an

open, spacious sound field even when only two

front speakers are available.

The AVR5000’s flexibility and power extend

beyond your main home theater or listening

room. The AVR includes a sophisticated multi-

zone control system that allows you to select

one source for use in the main room and a dif-

ferent one in a second room. Left and right front

channel audio is routed to the remote room

location, with complete control over volume pro-

vided by a separate infrared control link. To

make it easy to operate the AVR 5000 from a

remote room, a separate Zone II remote is

included.

The AVR 5000 is also able to offer HDCD^®

decoding to provide the most realistic playback

of CDs when a digital connection is used, even

with a normal non-HDCD-compatible CD or DVD

player.

While complex digital systems are hard at work

within the AVR5000 to make all of this happen,

hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed

connections, a backlit, programmable and learn-

ing remote control, and on-screen menus make

the AVR5000 easy to use. To obtain the maxi-

mum enjoyment from your new receiver, we

urge you to take the time to read through this

manual. This will ensure that connections to

speakers, source playback units and other exter-

nal devices are made properly. In addition, a

few minutes spent learning the functions of the

various controls will enable you to take advan-

tage of all the power the AVR5000 is able to

deliver.

The AVR5000’s powerful amplifier uses

traditional Harman Kardon high-current design

technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of

any program selection.

In addition to providing a wide range of listening

options, the AVR5000 is easy to configure so

that it provides the best results with your speak-

ers and specific listening-room environment.

On-screen menus make it simple to enter set-

tings for speakers, inputs and delay times, while

our exclusive EzSet™ remote measures a sys-

tem‘s sound levels and automatically calibrates

them for perfectly balanced soundfield presenta-

tion.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv-

er more than forty-seven years ago. With state-

of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit

designs, the AVR5000 is one of the finest

receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

Technology

I Harman Kardon’s Exclusive Logic 7 and

VMAx Modes

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR5000 fea-

tures connections for five video devices, all with

both composite and S-Video inputs. Two addi-

tional audio inputs are available, and a total of

six digital inputs make the AVR5000 capable of

handling all the latest digital audio sources.

For compatibility with the latest DVD players and

digital video products, the AVR5000 also fea-

tures component video switching. Coax and

optical digital outputs are available for direct

connection to digital recorders, and both the

front panel analog audio/video and the coaxial

digital jacks may be switched to an output for

use with portable recorders – a Harman Kardon

exclusive. Two video recording outputs, preamp-

out/main-in jacks, and a six channel input make

the AVR5000 virtually future-proof, with every-

thing needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new

formats right on board.

If you have any questions about this product, its

installation or its operation, please contact your

dealer. He is your best local source of informa-

tion.

Description and Features

The AVR5000 is among the most versatile and

multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo-

rating a wide range of listening options. In addi-

tion to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digi-

tal sources, a broad choice of analog surround

modes are available for use with sources such as

CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s own

FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic,*

Dolby 3 Stereo, 5 Ch Stereo and custom Hall and

Theater modes, only Harman Kardon receivers

offer Logic 7^®to create a wider, more enveloping

field environment and more defined fly-overs

and pans.

Safety Information

Installation Location

Important Safety Information

Unpacking

I To assure proper operation and to avoid the

potential for safety hazards, place the unit on

a firm and level surface. When placing the

unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and

any mounting hardware can support the

weight of the product.

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

The carton and shipping materials used to

protect your new receiver during shipment were

specially designed to cushion it from shock and

vibration. We suggest that you save the carton

and packing materials for use in shipping if you

move, or should the unit ever need repair.

Your AVR5000 has been designed for use with

220-240-Volt AC current. Connection to a line

voltage other than that for which it is intended

can create a safety and fire hazard and may

damage the unit.

I Make certain that proper space is provided

both above and below the unit for ventilation.

If this product will be installed in a cabinet or

other enclosed area, make certain that there

is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.

Under some circumstances a fan may be

required.

If you have any questions about the voltage

requirements for your specific model, or about

the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer

before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,

you may wish to flatten it. This is done by

carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom

and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard

inserts may be stored in the same manner.

Packing materials that cannot be collapsed

should be saved along with the carton in a

plastic bag.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord

attached to your unit. We do not recommend

that extension cords be used with this product.

As with all electrical devices, do not run power

cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy

objects on them. Damaged power cords should

be replaced immediately by an authorized

service depot with a cord meeting factory

specifications.

I Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted

surface.

If you do not wish to save the packaging

materials, please note that the carton and other

sections of the shipping protection are

recyclable. Please respect the environment and

discard those materials at a local recycling

center.

I Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold

locations, or an area that is exposed to direct

sunlight or heating equipment.

I Avoid moist or humid locations.

I Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of the unit, or place objects directly over

them.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC

outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.

If you do not intend to use the unit for any con-

siderable length of time, disconnect the plug

from the AC outlet.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,

soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft

cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a

fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry

immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use

benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any

other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use

abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish

of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near

the unit.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components inside

this product. Opening the cabinet may present a

shock hazard, and any modification to the

product will void your guarantee. If water or any

metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a

staple accidentally falls inside the unit,

disconnect it from the AC power source

immediately, and consult an authorized service

station.

Moving the Unit

Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect

any interconnection cords with other

components, and make certain that you

disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Installation and Connections

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid

surface capable of supporting its weight, you will

need to make the connections to your audio and

video equipment.

er outputs to the respective speakers.

nected to one or more subwoofer speakers. If

you are using a powered subwoofer that does

not have line-level input connections, follow the

instructions furnished with the speaker for con-

nection information.

To assure that all the audio signals are carried to

your speakers without loss of clarity or resolu-

tion, we suggest that you use high-quality

speaker cable. Many brands of cable are avail-

able and the choice of cable may be influenced

by the distance between your speakers and the

receiver, the type of speakers you use, personal

preferences and other factors. Your dealer or

installer is a valuable resource to consult in

selecting the proper cable.

Audio Equipment Connections

Note: Speaker sets with two front satellites and

a passive subwoofer must be connected to the

connect cables when making connections to

source equipment and recorders to preserve the

integrity of the signals.

front speaker outputs

only rather than to the

Subwoofer Output

Video Equipment Connections

When making connections to audio source

equipment or speakers it is always a good prac-

tice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet.

This prevents any possibility of accidentally send-

ing audio or transient signals to the speakers

that may damage them.

Video equipment is connected in the same man-

ner as audio components. Again, the use of high-

quality interconnect cables is recommended to

preserve signal quality. To ensure best video per-

formance S-Video sources should be connected

to the AVR5000 only with their S-Video In/

Outputs, not with their composite video connec-

tors too.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we

recommend that you use a cable constructed of

fine, multistrand copper with an area greater

than 2 mm².

Cable with an area of 1.5 mm²may be used for

short runs of less than 4 m. We do not recom-

mend that you use cables with an area less than

1mm²due to the power loss and degradation in

performance that will occur.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to

the CD inputs

NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and

variable audio outputs it is best to use the fixed

output unless you find that the input to the

receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so

high that the signal is distorted.

1. Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out

jacks to the Video 1 or Video 2 In jacks

2OQV on the rear panel. The Audio and

Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be con-

nected to the Video 1 or Video 2 Out jacks

4MPW on the AVR5000.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the

appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL,

CSA or other appropriate testing agency stan-

dards. Questions about running cables inside

walls should be referred to your installer or a

licensed electrical contractor who is familiar with

the applicable local building codes in your area.

video signals may only be viewed in their

native formats and will not be converted to

the other formats. But the OSD can be viewed

on the TV screen in any case, with Video or

S-Video input selected on the TV.

• When the component video jacks are used,

the on-screen menus will not be visible. You

must switch to the standard composite or

S-Video input on your TV to view those menus.

• The AVR 5000’s component video system is

designed for standard video rate video from

DVD players and similar devices. While it may

operate with high definition signals, the video

quality may be slightly less than with a direct

connection between the DVD and your TV.

• All component inputs/outputs can be used for

RGB signals too, in the same way as described

for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the

jacks with the corresponding color.

for all audio and video in/outputs needed as

described above, but with a so called Scart or

Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with

21 pins, see drawings on next page).

Important Notes for S-Video connections:

1. Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devices

must be connected to the AVR, NOT both, nor-

mal video and S-Video In/Outputs (except the TV,

see item below).

In that case the following Scart to Cinch

adapters or cables are needed:

2. Like most common AV units the AVR5000

does not convert the Video signal to S-Video or

vice versa. Thus both connections must be made

from the AVR5000 to the TV if both, Video and

S-Video sources, are used, and the appropriate

input on the TV must be selected.

• Units for playback, such as satellite receivers,

camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an

adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1

(normal video devices) or from Scart to 2

RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video

devices).

But this is only true as long as only the three

RGB lines are used and not any sync signal is

output separately from the source.

• HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6

RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from

Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5

(S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction

attached to the adapter to find which of the

six plugs is used for the record signal to the

VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and

for the playback signal from the VCR (connect

with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect

Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to

consult your dealer, if you are uncertain.

• If you use only normal video devices the TV

monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs

to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are

used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs

to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6),

connected to the SCART input on your TV that

is provided for S-Video.

Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow"

cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig.

6) must be connected to the TV Monitor

These jacks may also be used for connections to

devices such as DVD players or High Definition

Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature

built-in digital surround decoders. Although the

digital decoding system in the AVR5000 will typi-

cally provide audio performance that is superior to

other decoders, you may use these jacks to provide

an additional 6-channel input for connection to a

DVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoder

and discrete 6-channel analog outputs.

NOTE: All remotely controlled components must

be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the

IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next

to establish this chain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside walls

should carry any certification that is required by

the local building and electrical codes. To avoid

interference, audio and speaker cables should not

be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path

with, AC cables. If you have any questions about

multiroom wiring, consult your dealer, custom

installer or low-voltage electrical contractor.

Multiroom IR Link

The key to remote room operation is to link the

remote room to the AVR5000’s location with

wire for an infrared receiver and speakers or an

amplifier. The remote room IR receiver (this can be

an optional IR receiver or any other remotable

Harman Kardon device in the remote room with

System Configuration

Center Front Speaker

When all audio, video and system connections

have been made, there are a few configuration

adjustments that must be made. A few minutes

spent to correctly configure and calibrate the

unit will greatly add to your listening experience.

Depending on the specifics of your room

acoustics and the type of speakers in use, you

may find that imaging is improved by moving the

front-left and front-right speakers slightly

forward of the center-channel speaker. If

possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that

they are aimed at ear height when you are

seated in the listening position.

No more than

60cm

Speaker Selection

Left Front

Speaker

Right Front

Speaker

No matter which type or brand of speakers is

used, the same model or brand of speaker

should be used for the front-left, center and

front-right speakers. This creates a seamless

front soundstage and eliminates the possibility

of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when

a sound moves across mismatched front-channel

speakers.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes

some experimentation to find the correct

location for the front speakers in your particular

installation. Don’t be afraid to move things

around until the system sounds correct. Optimize

your speakers so that audio transitions across

the front of the room sound smooth.

Direct-View TV Sets or Rear-Screen Projectors

TV or Projection Screen

Center Front

Speaker

Left Front

Speaker

Right Front

Speaker

Surround speakers should be placed on the side

walls of the room, at or slightly behind the

listening position. The center of the speaker

should face you.

Speaker Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannel

home-theater system can have a noticeable

impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

If side-wall mounting is not practical, the

speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind

the listening position. The speakers should be no

more than two meters behind the rear of the

seating area.

Depending on the type of center-channel

speaker in use and your viewing device, place

the center speaker either directly above or below

your TV, or in the center behind a perforated

front-projection screen.

Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional

sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere

in a room. Actual placement should be based on

room size and shape and the type of subwoofer

used. One method of finding the optimal

location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it

in the front of the room, about 15cm from a

wall, or near the front corner of the room.

Another method is to temporarily place the

subwoofer in the spot where you will normally

sit, and then walk around the room until you

find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best.

Place the subwoofer in that spot. You should

also follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s

manufacturer, or you may wish to experiment

with the best location for a subwoofer in your

listening room.

Once the center-channel speaker is installed,

position the left-front and right-front speakers so

that they are as far away from one another as

the center-channel speaker is from the preferred

listening position. Ideally, the front-channel

speakers should be placed so that their tweeters

are no more than 60cm above or below the

tweeter in the center-channel speaker.

Optional Rear-Wall Mounting

B) The distance between the left and right

speakers should be equal to the distance from

the seating position to the viewing screen.

You may also experiment with placing the left

and right speakers slightly forward of the center

speaker.

They should also be at least 0.5 meter from your

TV set unless the speakers are magnetically

shielded to avoid colourings on the TV screen.

Note that most speakers are not shielded, even

with complete surround sets only the Center

speaker may be.

First Turn On and Use of the OSD

Settings to be Made With Each

Input Used

Once the speakers have been placed in the

room and connected, the remaining steps are to

program the system configuration memories.

With the AVR5000 two kind of memories are

used, those associated individually with the

input selected, e.g. surround modes, and others

working independently from any input selected

like speaker output levels, crossover frequencies

or delay times used by the surround sound

processor.

The AVR5000 features an advanced memory sys-

tem that enables you to establish different con-

figurations for the speaker configuration, digital

input and surround mode for each input source.

This flexibility enables you to custom tailor the

way in which you listen to each source and have

the AVR5000 memorize them. This means, for

example, that you may associate different sur-

round modes and analog or digital inputs with

different sources, or set different speaker config-

urations with the resultant changes to the bass

management system. Once these settings are

made, they will automatically be recalled when-

ever you select an input.

The AVR5000 has two on-screen display modes,

“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making con-

figuration adjustments, it is recommended that

the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place a

complete status report or option listing on the

screen, making it easier to view the available

options and make the settings on the screen. The

Semi-OSD mode uses one-line displays only.

You are now ready to power up the AVR5000 to

begin these final adjustments.

The default settings for the AVR5000, as it is

shipped from the factory, have all inputs set for

an analog source, with stereo as the surround

mode, the front left and right speakers set to

“large” (with surround modes other speakers to

”small”), and a subwoofer connected. Before

using the unit, you will probably want to change

these settings for most inputs so that they are

properly configured to reflect the use of digital

or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed

and the surround mode specifics. Remember,

since the AVR5000’s memory system keeps the

settings for each input separate from the other

inputs, you will need to make these adjustments

for each input used. However, once they are

made, further adjustment is only required when

system components are changed.

Important Note: Once the delay time is set

As an example, in Figure 6 below, the left front

center, left surround and right surround speakers

are set for small, and a subwoofer is set.

Due the different distances between the listening

position for the front channel speakers and the

Output level adjustment is a key part of the con-

will ensure that you hear sound tracks with the

proper directionality and intensity.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustment

is required and the center delay should be set to

zero. If the distance to the front speakers is

greater than the distance to the center speaker,

you may wish to reposition the speakers by mov-

ing the front left and front right speakers closer

to the listening position or the center speaker

further away from the listening position.

NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the

operation of the surround channels. While some

assume that sound should always be coming

from each speaker, most of the time there will

be little or no sound in the surround channels.

This is because they are only used when a

movie director or sound mixer specifically places

sound there to create ambiance, a special effect

or to continue action from the front of the room

to the rear. When the output levels are properly

set it is normal for surround speakers to oper-

ate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the

volume to the rear speakers may destroy the

illusion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-

cates the way you hear sound in a movie the-

ater or concert hall.

Night Mode Settings

The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that

uses special processing to preserve the dynamic

range and full intelligibility of a movie sound

track while reducing the peak level. This prevents

abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others,

without reducing the sonic impact of a digital

source. Note that the Night mode is only avail-

able when Dolby Digital signals are played.

If repositioning of the speakers is not possible,

adjust the center delay time, adding one milli-

second of center channel delay for every 30 cm

closer to the listening position the center speak-

er is than the front speakers. For example, if the

front left and front right speakers are each 3 m

from the listening position and the center chan-

nel speaker is 2.4 m away, the delay is figured as

300 cm –240 cm=60 cm, suggesting an optimal

center delay of 2 milliseconds.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The standard mode for analog surround sound decoding. It uses information encoded

in a two channel stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and

a Mono Surround channel. Use this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing

the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo or other “Surround” logos. Surround-encoded

programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies, TV and cable programs, radio

programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to provide a

pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry

surround encoding.

15 ms – 30 ms

Initial Setting = 15 ms

An advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either

conventional stereo material or surround-encoded programs. When used with encoded

material, decoding is more accurate in terms of the placement of sounds, and fades and pans

are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. Logic 7 also

delivers increased spaciousness and a wider sound stage when it is used with conventional

natural stereo recordings and music programs throug the use of the natural surround

information present also in those stereo recordings. The Logic 7C or Cinema mode is tailored

to provide an optimal sound field for movie soundtracks. The Logic 7M or Music mode uses a

decoding formula that is best suited to music.

DTS is another digital audio system that is capa-

ble of delivering 5.1 audio. Although both DTS

and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different

methods of encoding the signals, and thus they

require different decoding circuits to convert the

digital signals back to analog.

One of the most important features of the

AVR5000 is its ability to reproduce a full multi-

channel surround sound field from digital

sources, analog matrix surround encoded pro-

grams and standard stereo or even mono pro-

grams. In all, a total of thirteen listening modes

Note that the Dolby Digital or DTS modes may

only be selected when a digital input is in use. In

addition, when a digital source is present, the

AVR5000 will automatically select and switch to

the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regard-

less of the mode that has been previously select-

ed. For more information on selecting digital

rear panel RS or front panel #%

sources, see the following section of this manual.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS

sound tracks, the DVD player must be compatible

with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo

on the player’s front panel. Note that early DVD

players may not be able to play DTS- encoded

DVDs. This does not indicate a problem with the

AVR5000, as some players cannot pass the DTS

signal through to the digital outputs. If you are in

doubt as to the capability of your DVD player to

handle DTS DVDs, consult the player’s owner’s

manual.

However to create wider, enveloping sound field

environments and more defined pans and

flyovers with all analog stereo and surround

recordings select Harman Kardon’s exclusive

Logic 7 mode, that creates a stereophonic left

and right rear signal, just as recorded in real life

(e.g. sound being recorded from left rear side will

be heard from that side only) for a dramatic

improvement in comparison to Dolby Pro Logic.

To listen to a program in traditional two channel

stereo, using the front left and front right speak-

ers only (plus the subwoofer if installed and con-

figured), follow the instructions shown above for

using the remote until SURR OFFappears

in the Main Information Display

Digital Audio Playback

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with

matrix surround information, it retains the sur-

round information as long as the program is

broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround

sound may be decoded via any of the analog sur-

round modes such as Pro Logic or Logic 7, when

they are broadcast via conventional TV stations,

cable, pay TV and satellite transmission. In addi-

tion, a growing number of made-for-television

programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and

music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.

You may view a list of these programs at the Dolby

Laboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.

Digital audio is a major advancement over past

systems such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five dis-

crete channels: left front, center, right front, left sur-

round and right surround. Each channel reproduces

full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers

dramatically improved dynamic range and signifi-

cant improvements to signal-to-noise ratios. In

addition, digital systems have the capability to

deliver an additional channel that is specifically

devoted to low frequency information. This is the

“.1” channel referred to when you see these sys-

tems descibed as “5.1”. The bass channel is sepa-

rate from the other channels, but since it is inten-

tionally bandwidth limited, sound designers have

given it that unique designation.

PCM Audio Playback

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non- com-

pressed digital audio system used for compact

discs, Non-Dolby Digital/DTS Laserdiscs and some

special PCM encoded DVDs. The digital circuits in

the AVR5000 are capable of high quality digital-

to-analog decoding, and they may be connected

directly to the digital audio output of your

CD/DVD or LD player (LD only for PCM or DTS

programs, for Dolby Digital laser discs an RF

adapter is needed, see ”Dolby Digital” above).

Connections may be made to either the Optical

or Coaxial inputs RS on the rear panel or the

Even when a program is not listed as carrying

intentional surround information, you may find

that the Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo or Logic 7

modes often deliver enveloping surround presen-

tations through the use of the natural surround

information present in all stereo recordings.

However, for stereo programs without any sur-

round information the Theater, Hall and 5CH

Stereo modes should be tried (5CH Stereo is effec-

tive particularly with old ”extreme” stereo record-

ings) and for mono programs, we suggest that you

try the Theater or Hall modes. And when you use

only two front channel speakers you should select

Harman’s patented VMAx mode, delivering a virtu-

ally three dimensional sound space with two

speakers only.

compatible with other computer audio codecs.

HDCD

Digital Status Indicators

• The MP 3 DSP mode found in the new

HDCD, which stands for High Definition

Compatible Digital^®, is a sophisticated process

that enables the AVR 5000 to deliver outstanding

digital-to-analog decoding of PCM signals from

any DVD or CD player, connected to a digital

input on the AVR 5000, no matter what type of

CD or DVD is played and even when normal,

Non-HDCD-compatible players are used (only a

digital output is needed).

When a digital source is playing, the AVR5000

senses the type of bitstream data that is present.

Using this information, the correct surround mode

will automatically be selected. For example, DTS

bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to DTS

decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will enable

Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit senses

PCM data, from CDs and LDs and some music

DVDs or certain tracks on normal DVDs, it will

allow the appropriate surround mode to be

selected manually. Since the range of available

surround modes depends on the type of digital

data that is present, the AVR5000 uses a variety

of indicators to let you know what type of signal

is present. This will help you to understand the

choice of modes and the input channels recorded

on the disc.

AVR5000 requires an MP3 SPDIF stream.

Presently, only a few units provide this but in the

coming generations of motherboards and operat-

ing system updates this will follow, since SPDIF is

the standard for audio & video hardware.

• The digital audio input signal may be either

optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in the

PCM format. Direct connection of USB or serial

data outputs is not possible, even though the sig-

nals are in the MP3 format. If you have any ques-

tions about the data output format from your

computer or a sound card, check with the

device’s Owner’s Manual or contact the manu-

facturer’s technical support area.

When a CD with the HDCD logo is played, the

AVR 5000 is able to take advantage of the spe-

cial recording process that is used in the creation

of HDCD disc. The special circuitry enables audio

with extraordinary fidelity, stunning resolution

and the highest possible overall quality.

decoder chip, replacing the monolithic digital

filters used in conventional DACs, will enable

enhanced performance also with normal,

non-HDCD encoded program material.

DOLBY D: When the DOLBY D indicator

lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being received.

Depending on the audio track selected on the

source player and number of channels on the

disc, different surround modes are possible. Note

that only one channel without subwoofer, called

”1.0” audio, or all five channels with subwoofer

(”5.1” audio) or all steps between can be record-

ed on digitally surround encoded audio tracks

(see NOTE below). With all those tracks, except

”2.0” audio, only the Dolby Digital and VMAx

modes are available. When the Dolby Digital sig-

nal is only two channel (”2.0”) these two chan-

MP3 Audio Playback

The AVR5000 is one of the first A/V receivers to

provide on-board decoding for the MP3 audio

format used on specific computer audio files and

by portable MP3 players/recorders. In addition,

some new CD and DVD players are capable of

playing back optical discs that are recorded with

MP3, rather than standard CD audio information.

By offering MP3 decoding, the AVR5000 is able

to deliver more precise conversion of the digital

signals to an analog output, along with the ben-

efits of listening to MP3 audio through the

AVR5000’s high current amplifier and the speak-

ers from your surround system, rather than the

smaller speakers and low powered amplifiers typ-

ically used with computers.

When playing a digital source such as DVD, first

select its input using the remote or front panel

controls as outlined in this manual in order to

feed its video signal (if any) to the TV monitor

and to provide its analog audio signal for record-

off, the semi-OSD displays will remain activated,

even if they were switched off for the previous

Semi-OSD Settings

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The semi-OSD system places one line messages

at the lower third of the video display screen

whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround

mode or tuner frequency of any of the configura-

tion settings are changed. The semi-OSD system

is helpful in that enables you to have feedback

on any control changes or remote commands

using the video display when it is difficult to

view the front-panel displays. However, you may

occasionally prefer to turn these displays off for

a particular listening session. You may also want

to adjust the length of time the displays remain

on the screen. Both of those options are possible

with the AVR5000.

The FULL-OSDmenu system is used to

simplify the setup and adjustment of the

AVR5000 using a series of on-screen menus. The

factory default setting for these menus leaves

them on the screen for 20 seconds after a period

of inactivity before they disappear from the

screen or Time Out. This Time Out is a safety

measure to prevent the menu text from burning

into the CRTs in your monitor or projector, which

might happen if they were left on indefinitely.

However, some viewers may prefer a slightly

longer or shorter period before the Time Out dis-

play.

Programming the Remote

The AVR5000 is equipped with a powerful

remote control that will control not only the

receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands

of audio and video equipment, including CD

players, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite

receivers and other home-theater equipment.

Once the AVR5000’s remote is programmed with

the codes for the products you own, it is possible

to eliminate most other remotes and replace

them with the convenience of a single universal

remote control.

Learning Codes from a Remote

When the code has been entered using the Auto

Search method, it is always a good idea to find

out the exact code so that it may be easily

reentered if necessary. You may also read the

codes to verify which device has been

programmed to a specific Control Selector

button.

In addition to using codes from the remote’s

internal code library, the AVR5000’s remote is

able to “learn” codes from remotes that may not

be in the code library. In addition, you may use

this function to “learn over” the codes from a

preprogrammed device to add functions not

included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn

or transfer codes from an IR remote to the

AVR5000’s remote, follow these steps:

press the Learn button
