and entertainment, using leading-edge technology to achieve premium performance.  
Sidney harman and bernard kardon invented the receiver, a single component designed  
to simplify home entertainment without compromising performance. over the years,  
harman kardon products have become easier to use while offering more features and  
sounding better than ever.  
the AVr 700 has been designed for use with 120-volt alternating current (Ac). the  
AVr 70 and AVr 70c have been designed for use with 220 – 240-volt Ac. connection  
to a line voltage other than that for which your AVr is intended can create a safety  
and fire hazard, and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage  
requirements for your specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact your  
selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.  
the AVr 70, AVr 700 and AVr 70c 5.1-channel digital audio/video receivers (AVrs)  
continue this tradition with some of the most advanced audio and video processing  
capabilities yet and a wealth of listening and viewing options.

CATV or Antenna Grounding (AVR 700)  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.  
Section 810 of the united States national electrical code, AnSI/nfpA no. 70-1984,  
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting  
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and  
requirements of the grounding electrode.  
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: this reminder is provided to call the cAtV (cable  
tV) system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the nec, which provides guidelines  
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected  
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.  
Place the AVR  
• Place the AVR on a firm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any  
mounting hardware can support the AVr’s weight.  
• Provide proper space above and below the AVR for ventilation. Recommended  
clearance distances are 30cm above the unit, 10cm behind the unit and 20cm on  
each side of the unit.  
• If you install the AVR in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the  
cabinet. under some circumstances, a fan may be required.  
• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the AVR or place objects directly  
over them.  
• Do not place the AVR directly on a carpeted surface.  
• Do not place the AVR in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations,

for more information.  
Subwoofer connector: connect this jack to a powered subwoofer that has a line-level  
input connector. See Connect Your Subwoofer, on page 11, for more information.  
Composite Video connectors: use composite video connectors for video source devices  
and a tV that don’t have hdmI connectors. you will also need to make audio connections  
from the source devices to the AVr. See Connect Your Source Devices, on page 11, for  
more information.  
Digital Audio connectors: If your non-hdmI source devices have digital outputs,  
connect them to the AVr’s digital audio connectors. See Connect Your Source Devices,  
on page 11, for more information.  
Analog Audio connectors: use the AVr’s Analog Audio connectors for source devices  
that don’t have hdmI or digital audio connectors. use the Video 1 out, Video 2 out and  
tape out connectors to connect to the audio inputs of Vcrs, tape decks or other analog  
recorders. See Connect Your Source Devices, on page 11, for more information.  
IMPORTANT: the AVr’s on-screen display (oSd) only appears through the composite  
monitor out connector. If you want to use the AVr’s oSd menus you need to connect  
its composite monitor out connector to your tV even if you are not connecting any  
composite video source devices to the AVr.  
HDMI connectors: the hdmI (high-definition multimedia Interface®) feature is a  
connection for transmitting digital audio and video signals between devices. If your  
source devices and tV 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 hdmI connections. See Connect Your Source Devices, on page  
11, for more information.  
Speaker connectors: use two-conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals  
to the correct speaker. See Connect Your Speakers, on page 11, for more information.  
AC Input connector: After you have made all other connections, plug the supplied Ac  
power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.  
Notes on using the HDMI Out connector:  
• When connecting a DVI-equipped display to the HDMI Monitor Out connector, use  
an hdmI-to-dVI adapter and make a separate audio connection.  
• Make sure the HDMI-equipped display is HDCP-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect  
it via hdmI; use an analog video connection instead and make a separate audio  
connection.

Introduction to Home Theater  
and Place Your Speakers  
AVR 700/AVR 70/AVR 70C  
Introduction to Home Theater  
Place Your Speakers  
this introductory section will help you to familiarize yourself with some basic concepts  
unique to multichannel surround-sound AVrs, which will make it easier for you to set up  
and operate your AVr.  
determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s  
directions and the layout of your listening room. use the illustration below as a guide for  
5.1-channel systems.  
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 diagram below as a guide.  
Typical Home Theater System  
A home theater typically includes an audio/video receiver (AVr), which controls the system  
and supplies amplification for the loudspeakers; a disc player; a source component for  
television broadcasts (cable box, satellite dish AVr, hdtV tuner or antenna connected to  
the tV); a tV or video display; and multiple loudspeakers.

Multichannel Audio  
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.  
your AVr can have up to five 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:  
Sl  
Sr  
• Front Left and Right: the front left and right speakers are used as in a 2-channel  
system. In many surround-sound modes, these speakers are secondary, while the  
main action, especially dialogue, is reproduced by the center speaker.  
• Center: when you are watching movies and television programs, the center speaker  
reproduces most of the dialogue and other soundtrack information that occurs on the  
screen, 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 more  
realistic “you-are-there” listening experience.  
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.  
• 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.  
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 front right positions.  
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.  
Placing the Surround Speakers  
• Subwoofer: A subwoofer is designed to play only the lowest frequencies (the deep  
bass). It augments smaller, limited-range main speakers that are usually used for  
the other channels. many digital-format programs, such as movies recorded in dolby  
digital, contain a low-frequency effects (lfe) channel that is directed to the subwoofer.  
the lfe channel packs the punch of a rumbling train or airplane, or the power of an  
explosion, adding realism and excitement to your home theater. Some people use two  
subwoofers for additional power and for even distribution of the sound.  
you should place the left and right surround speakers approximately 110 degrees from  
the center speaker, slightly behind and angled toward the listener. Alternatively, you can  
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.  
NOTE: Your AVR will sound its best when the same model or brand of  
loudspeaker is used for all positions.  
Surround Modes  
there are different theories as to the best way to present surround sound and to distribute  
the individual channel information 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:  
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:  
• Dolby Laboratories: dolby truehd, dolby digital plus, dolby digital, dolby pro logic II,  
dolby pro logic.  
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will increase the amount of bass in  
the room.  
• DTS: dtS-hd™ high resolution Audio, dtS-hd master Audio™, dtS, dtS 96/24™,  
dtS neo: 6.  
• Placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will maximize the amount of bass in the  
room.  
• HARMAN International: Analog Surround modes (theater hall, Stadium, club,  
Arena).  
• 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.  
• Stereo Modes: 2-channel stereo and 5-channel stereo.  
Appendix table A4, on page 22, contains detailed explanations of the different surround-  
sound options available on your AVr. digital surround-sound modes, such as dolby  
digital and dtS systems, are available only with 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 programs you are  
watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.  
• 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.

AVR 700/AVR 70/AVR 70C  
Subwoofer Connections  
Types of Home Theater System Connections  
the subwoofer is a speaker dedicated to reproducing only the low (bass) frequencies,  
which require more power. to obtain the best results, most speaker manufacturers offer  
powered subwoofers that contain their own amplifiers. use a single rcA audio cable  
(not included) to make a line-level (non-amplified) connection from the AVr’s Subwoofer  
connector to a corresponding input jack on the subwoofer.  
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.

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,  
mp3 player or a device docked in the AVr’s uSb port. the AVr’s fm/Am tuner also counts  
as a source, even though no external connectors are needed other than the AVr’s fm and  
Am antennas. Separate connectors are required for the audio and video portions of the  
source device’s signal, except for digital hdmI connectors. the types of connectors you  
use will depend upon the capabilities of the source device and of your tV or video display.  
Analog Video Connection

Speaker Connections  
Speaker cables carry an amplified signal from the AVr’s speaker terminals to each  
loudspeaker. each cable contains two wire conductors, or leads, that are differentiated  
in some way, such as with colors or stripes.  
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 connectors: hdmI, coaxial and optical. do not use more than one type of  
digital audio connector for each source device. however, it’s okay to make both analog  
and digital audio connections to the same source.  
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 AVr, which is colored as indicated in the connection color guide table, above.  
the negative terminals on the speakers and the AVr are black.  
your AVr is equipped with four rear-panel hdmI input connectors and one hdmI monitor  
output 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.  
your AVr uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept bare-wire cables or  
banana plugs. bare-wire cables are installed as shown below:  
the AVr’s hdmI monitor output connector 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 Additional Setup Menu Items,  
on page 15, for more information.  
1. unscrew cap  
2. Insert bare wire  
3. tighten 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.  
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  
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).  
Digital Audio Connections – Coaxial  
coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded orange. Although they look like  
standard rcA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to  
analog inputs or vice versa.  
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  
AVR or amplifier.

Digital Audio Connections – Optical  
Radio Connections  
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.  
your AVr uses separate terminals for the included fm and Am antennas. the fm antenna  
uses a 75-ohm f-connector.  
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.  
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.  
USB Port  
the AVr can play mp3 and wmA audio files from a uSb device inserted into the uSb port.  
Insert the device into the uSb port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. you may  
insert or remove the device at any time – there is no installation or ejection procedure.  
for source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both  
connections.  
the analog connections also feed the Analog record output connectors. 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.  
Video Connections  
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.  
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.  
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  
composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. both the chrominance  
(color) and the 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.

Making Connections  
If your tV has an hdmI connector and you have hdmI or component video source  
devices, use an hdmI cable (not included) to connect your tV to the AVr’s hdmI monitor  
out connector. It will provide the best possible picture quality.  
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the AVR, ensure that the AVR’s AC  
power cord is unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet. Making connections  
with the AVR plugged in and turned on could damage the speakers.

Connect Your Source Devices  
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, such as a  
blu-ray disc or dVd player, or a cable, satellite or hdtV tuner. your AVr has several  
different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: hdmI,  
composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio.  
Sl  
Sr  
each of your AVr’s source buttons is assigned to an hdmI connector or an analog audio  
input connector (listed in the “AVr Source button/Analog Audio connector” column of  
the table below).the digital inputs are not assigned to any specific sets of analog inputs.  
once you select a source device you can use the remote control’s Audio Input Select  
(dIgItAl) button to select the specific audio input connection (hdmI, coaxial digital,  
optical digital, analog) that you want to listen to. (note: you cannot select an audio input  
connection for the fm/Am or uSb source buttons.)  
Connect Your Subwoofer  
use a single rcA audio cable to connect the AVr’s Subwoofer out connector to your  
subwoofer. consult your subwoofer’s user manual for specific information about making  
connections to it.

Optical digital audio devices  
If any of your source devices have hdmI connectors, using those connectors 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 hdmI cables.  
If your source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVr’s optical  
digital Audio connectors. note: make only one type of digital connection (hdmI, optical  
or coaxial) from each device.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the PROTECT message ever appears in the Message  
display, turn off the AVR and unplug it. Check all speaker wires for a short  
circuit (“+” and “–” wires touching). If none is found, bring the unit to an  
authorized Harman Kardon service center for inspection and repair before  
using it again.  
4. Select “Speaker Settings.” the Speaker Settings menu will appear.  
Using the On-Screen Menu System  
Although it’s possible to configure the AVr using only the remote and the front-panel  
message display, it is easier to use the on-screen menu system.  
5. use the remote’s left and right arrow buttons to select off, SmAll or lArge for the  
front, center and Surround speaker positions, depending on the speakers you have  
connected to the receiver.  
to access the menu system, turn on your tV and select the tV’s composite video input  
where you connected the AVr in Connect Your TV or Video Display, on page 11.  
press the remote control’s Setup button. the AVr’s on-screen display (oSd) System  
Setup menu will appear on the tV.  
off: Select this setting if you have not connected a speaker in that position (not available  
for the front speakers).  
SmAll: Select this setting if the speaker is not capable of producing clean, deep bass  
energy at output levels that match those produced by a powered subwoofer. All bass  
below the crossover frequency (see Step 6, below) in that channel is removed from that  
speaker and is sent to the subwoofer (or to the front speakers if Subwoofer is set to no).  
most speakers (unless they are large and powerful) should be considered SmAll.  
lArge: Select this setting if the speaker is capable of producing clean, deep bass energy  
at output levels that match those produced by a powered subwoofer. All bass in that  
channel is sent to that speaker.  
the System Setup menu consists of five submenus: Speaker Set, hdmI Set, parameter,  
Auto power control and Speaker on/off.  
note: If your system has a subwoofer and you set the front speakers to lArge, the  
subwoofer may not output audio except for dolby digital- and dtS-encoded program  
material that contains lfe channel information. If you set your front speakers to lArge  
and you want your subwoofer to reproduce bass from all program material, set the  
Subwoofer to pluS (see below).  
use the up/down/left/right buttons on the remote to navigate the menu system, and  
press the ok button to select a menu or setting line, or to enter a new setting.  
the current menu, setting line or setting will appear in the front-panel message display,  
as well as on screen.  
for Subwoofer, select yeS (if your system has a subwoofer), no (if your system does not  
have a subwoofer), or pluS (if your system has a subwoofer, you set your front speakers  
to lArge and you want your subwoofer to reproduce bass from all program material).  
to return to the previous menu, press the remote’s bAck button. to exit the menu  
system, press the Setup button.  
follow the instructions in this Set Up the AVR section to configure your home theater

AVR 700/AVR 70/AVR 70C  
Set Up the AVR, continued  
consult the technical specifications for your system’s main left and right speakers and  
locate the frequency response, usually given as a range, e.g., 80hz – 20khz ( 3db).  
note the lowest frequency that the speakers are capable of playing (80hz in the above  
example). note: this frequency is not the same as the crossover frequency that may  
also be listed in the specifications.  
Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:  
• Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, while  
the ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. when setting the subwoofer volume,  
listen to both music and films with strong bass content and find a “middle ground”  
volume level that works for both.  
use the remote’s left and right arrow buttons to select the crossover frequency that  
most closely matches the low frequency specification that you noted above. the AVr  
will divide the source signal at this crossover point, will send all information above the  
crossover point to your system’s speakers, and all information below the crossover point  
to the subwoofer. this way, each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best,  
delivering a more powerful and enjoyable sound experience. record the setting in table  
A2 of the Appendix, on page 21.  
• 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.  
13. when you’re finished, record the settings in table A3 of the Appendix, on page 21,  
then press the remote’s Setup button to turn off the on-screen menus.  
7. press the bAck button and select “Speaker distance.” the Speaker distance menu  
will appear.  
Additional Setup Menu Items  
you can also adjust the following settings:  
HDMI Set: Selecting Arc/cec on will send audio from the tV to the AVr via the hdmI  
Audio return channel (Arc) connection (which is in the hdmI cable connecting the AVr  
to the tV). this way, whenever you’re watching a source that is connected directly to  
your tV (such as an Internet connection), you can listen to the sound through the AVr by  
selecting tV as the AVr source device. Selecting on also allows the communication of  
control information among the hdmI devices in your system (cec).  
Audio Settings: Selecting Audio Settings allows you to adjust the following audio  
settings:  
• Night Mode works with specially encoded Dolby® digital discs or broadcasts,  
compressing the audio so that louder passages are reduced in volume to avoid  
disturbing others, while dialogue remains intelligible. press the left/right arrow  
buttons to advance through the following drc (dynamic range control) settings:  
8. measure the distance from each speaker in your system to the listening position.  
record the distances in table A3 of the Appendix, on page 21.  
9. use the remote’s left and right arrow buttons to change the distance setting for each  
speaker so it matches the distance you wrote down in step 8. when you’re finished,  
press the remote control’s bAck button to return to the Speaker Setting menu.  
off: no compression is applied. loud passages in the program remain as they were  
recorded.  
10. Select “channel level.” the channel level menu will appear. use the remote’s left  
and right arrow buttons to set test tone to “manual” and press the remote’s ok  
button. After the on-screen countdown you will hear test noise through the front left  
speaker.  
mid: loud passages in the program are reduced moderately in volume.  
max: loud passages in the program are reduced more in volume.  
Auto: Automatically compresses the audio a specific amount in response to  
instructions encoded in the dolby digital program.  
• PLII Music: Additional adjustments are avalable that allow you to fine-tune the Dolby  
pro logic II music surround mode’s performance for your listening room and personal  
taste:  
panorama: with the panorama mode turned on, some of the sound from the front  
speakers is moved to the surround speakers, creating an enveloping “wraparound”  
effect. each press of the left or right arrow buttons toggles the setting on or off.  
11. Sit in the main listening position and adjust the AVr’s volume control so the test noise  
is moderately loud. note the volume of the test noise through the first speaker. press  
the remote’s down arrow button to advance the test noise to each of your system’s  
speakers and note the volume level of the noise in each speaker.  
center width: this setting affects how vocals sound through the three front speakers.  
A lower number focuses the vocal information tightly on the center channel. higher  
numbers (up to 7) broaden the vocal soundstage. use the left/right arrow buttons to  
adjust this setting.  
12. As you advance the test noise through the speakers, use the remote’s left and right  
arrow buttons to adjust the volumes of the channels until all of them play at the  
same volume.  
dimension: this setting affects the depth of the surround presentation, allowing you  
to “move” the sound toward the front or rear of the room. the setting of “0” is a  
neutral default. “+” settings move the sound toward the front of the room, while “–”  
settings move the sound toward the rear. use the left/right arrow buttons to adjust it.  
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:  
• 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.  
See Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 17, for more information about  
dolby pro logic II.  
Auto Power Control: this setting allows you to set the AVr to automatically enter the  
Standby mode after a period of inactivity, saving energy. the available settings are off  
(default), 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours.  
• 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).  
Speaker On/Off: use this setting to turn the speakers off when you are listening through  
headphones.  
• In most 5.1-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.

Audio Processing and Surround Sound  
Audio signals can be encoded in a variety of formats that affect not only the quality of the  
sound but also the number of speaker channels and the surround mode. you may also  
manually select a different surround mode, when available.  
when in doubt, check the broadcast or the jacket of your disc for more information  
on which surround modes are available. usually, nonessential sections of a disc, such  
as trailers, extra materials or the disc menu, are available only in dolby digital 2.0  
(2-channel) or pcm 2-channel mode. look for an audio setup section in the disc’s menu.  
Also, make sure your disc player’s audio output is set to the original bitstream rather than  
2-channel pcm. Stop play and check the player’s output setting.  
Analog Audio Signals  
Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels – left and right. your AVr offers  
several options for analog playback:  
• Stereo: When you want conventional 2-channel playback, press the STEREO button.  
Sound will be output from the front left and right speakers.  
Adjusting the Channel Volumes  
In addition to using the AVr’s built-in test noise to configure the AVr for your speakers as  
explained in Configure the AVR for Your Speakers, you can also adjust the volume of any  
channel at any time to compensate for individual program sources or your personal taste.  
• 5-Ch Stereo: When you want to hear stereo sound through all of the system’s speakers  
(such as during a party), select 5ch Stereo via the Surround mode Select buttons.  
this plays the left-channel signal through the front left and surround left speakers,  
the right-channel signal through the front right and surround right speakers, and a  
summed mono signal through the center speaker.  
1. press the remote’s channel level button. the message display will show the left  
channel volume level.  
• Analog Surround Modes: Your AVR is able to process 2-channel audio signals to  
produce multi-channel surround sound, even when no surround sound has been  
encoded in the recording. Among the available modes are dolby pro logic II, dolby  
pro logic, dtS neo: 6, theater, hall, Stadium, club and Arena modes. use the  
Surround mode Select buttons to select one of these modes. See table A5 in the  
Appendix, on page 25, for breif explanations of each of these surround modes.  
2. use the remote’s up and down arrow buttons to display the channel you want to adjust.  
3. use the remote’s left and right arrow buttons to adjust the channel’s volume.  
press the bAck button when you’re finished.  
Digital Audio Signals  
Recording  
digital audio signals offer greater flexibility and capacity than analog signals and  
allow the encoding of up to 5.1 channels of discrete channel information directly into  
the signal. the result is improved sound quality and startling directionality, since each  
channel’s information is transmitted independently of the other channels. high-resolution  
recordings sound extraordinarily distortion-free, especially in the high frequencies.  
two-channel analog audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are normally  
available at the appropriate recording output connectors. 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.  
digital surround-sound 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 96/24 (5.1),  
2-channel pcm modes in 44.1khz, 48khz, 88.1khz, 96khz or 176.4khz, and 5.1 or  
7.1 multichannel pcm. (your AVr will downmix the discrete surround back-channel  
information in 6.1-channel and 7.1-channel recordings into your system’s surround left  
and surround right channels.)  
noteS:  
1. the AVr does not convert digital signals to analog. only devices connected to the  
analog audio and composite video input connections can be recorded.  
2. hdmI 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.

To reset the AVR’s processor:  
Sleep Timer  
1. press the front-panel Standby/on switch to place the unit in the Standby mode (the  
Standby Indicator led will turn amber).  
the sleep timer sets the AVr to play for up to 90 minutes and then turn off automatically.  
press the Sleep button on the remote, and the time until turn-off will be displayed on  
the front-panel message display the available settings are 30 min., 60 min., 90 min.  
and off.  
2. press and hold the front-panel Standby and memory/folder buttons until the reSet  
message appears on the front-panel message display.  
3. press the memory/folder button again to reset the AVr’s processor.  
when the sleep timer has been set, a small crescent-moon icon will appear on the front-  
panel display.  
If the AVr does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized  
harman kardon service center for assistance. to locate an authorized service center,  
visit our web site at www.harmankardon.com.  
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.  
Memory  
Processor Reset  
If the AVr is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain your user settings  
for up to two weeks.  
If the AVr behaves erratically after a power surge, first turn off the front-panel main  
power switch and unplug the Ac power cord for at least 3 minutes. plug the cord back  
in and turn the AVr on. If this procedure doesn’t help, reset the AVr’s processor as  
described below.  
note: resetting the processor will erase all user configurations, including speaker and  
level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings from your  
notes in the Appendix worksheets.
