Additional Source Setup Menu Items

You can also adjust the following settings independently for each source:

Title:

You may change the display name for any source (except the radio). This feature

may help you to select the correct source device even when you have forgotten which
physical connections you used.

1. Move the cursor to the Title line and press the OK button. A block cursor will blink.

2. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll through the alphabet in upper and lower case, the

numbers and many punctuation marks. When you have selected the desired character,
press the Right button to move to the next space. Press the Right button twice to leave
a blank space.

3. Press the OK button when you have ﬁnished.

Tone:

This setting determines whether the treble and bass controls are active. When this

line is set to Out, the tone controls are out of the circuit, with no changes to the sound.
When this line is set to In, the bass and treble frequencies are boosted or cut, depending
upon the Bass and Treble settings (see below).

Bass and Treble:

Boost or cut the low or high frequencies by up to 10dB by using the

Left/Right buttons to change the setting by 2dB at a time.

Night Mode:

This setting activates Night mode with specially encoded Dolby Digital discs

or broadcasts. Night mode compresses the audio so that louder passages are reduced in
volume to avoid disturbing others, while dialogue remains intelligible. Each press of the
right arrow button advances through the following settings:

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.

Controlling the Volume

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.

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.

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 front-
panel display as a reminder. To restore the sound, press the Mute button again, or adjust
the volume.

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 surround mode for all sources except FM
and AM is HARMAN Headphone, which will emulate a 5.1-channel speaker system. The
default surround mode for FM and AM is 2-Ch Stereo. Press the Surround Mode button on
the front panel or use the remote and OSD to switch between HARMAN Headphone and
2-Ch Stereo. No other surround modes are available for headphone listening.

Selecting a Source

There are three different ways to select a source:
