Surround Mode will ”attach” themselves to that
input and be stored in a non-volatile memory. This
means that once made, the selection of an input
will automatically recall those settings. For that
reason, the procedures described below must be
repeated for each input source so that you have
the opportunity to custom tailor each source to
your specific listening requirements. However,
once made they need not be changed again
unless you need to alter a setting.
When using the full-OSD system to make the
setup adjustments, press the
OSD
button
L
once so that the
MASTER MENU
(Figure 1)
appears. Note that the
›
cursor will be next to
the
IN/OUT SETUP
line. Press the
Set
but-
ton
F
to enter the menu and the
IN/OUT
SETUP
menu (Figure 2) will appear on the
screen. Press the
‹
/
›
buttons
E
until the
desired input name appears in the highlighted
video, as well as being indicated in the front
panel
Input Indicators
ˆ
. If the input will use
the standard left/right analog inputs, no further
adjustment is needed (except with DVD).
When you are scrolling through the list of avail-
able inputs, it is possible that you hear a slight
click from time to time. This is normal, as it is
caused by the relay that is used to switch
between the two Component Video Inputs.
Figure 2
When one of the four Video inputs is selected as
the source, you have the option of renaming the
input as it appears in the on-screen and front
panel messages. This is helpful if you have more
than one VCR, if you wish to associate a specific
product brand name with the input, or to simply
enter any name that will help you to remember
which source is being selected.
To change the input name, press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button
E
on the remote so that
the
➞
cursor is pointing to
NAME
. Next, press
and hold the
Set Button
F
for a few seconds
until a flashing box appears to the right of the
colon. Immediately release the
Set Button
F
,
as you are now ready to enter the device name.
Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
E
and
note that a complete set of alpha-numeric charac-
ters will appear with the start of the alphabet in
capital letters followed by the lower-case letters
and then numbers and symbols. When you press
the
¤
Navigation Button
E
, a series of sym-
bols and numbers will appear, followed by a
reverse list of the alphabet in lower-case letters.
Press the button either way until the first letter of
the desired name appears. If you wish to enter a
blank space as the first character, press the
›
Navigation Button
E
.
When the desired character appears, press the
›
Navigation Button
E
and repeat the process
for the next letter, and continue until the desired
name is entered, up to a maximum of fourteen
characters.
Press the
Set Button
F
to enter the input
name into the system memory and to proceed
with the configuration process.
If your system includes any sources that are
equipped with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs,
the AVR is able to switch them to send the proper
signals to your video display. Each of the two
Component Video Inputs
may be
assigned to any source for added system flexibili-
ty. The default setting is for the
Component
Video 2 Jacks
to be assigned to the DVD
and 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs, with the
Component Video 1 Jacks
assigned to the
other inputs. If your system does not include com-
ponent video at this time, or if you do not need to
change these defaults, press the
¤
Navigation
Button
E
to go to the next setting.
To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the
➞
cursor is pointing to the
COMPONENT I N
line on the menu screen,
and then press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button
E
until you see the desired input in the highlighted
video. The clicking noise that you will hear when
the component video inputs is switched is nor-
mal, due to the relay used to ensure proper isola-
tion between the two inputs.
When the desired component input has been
selected, press the
¤
Navigation Button
E
go to the next setting.
If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs
with the selected input source, press the
¤
Button
E
on the remote while the
IN/OUT
SETUP
menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and
note that the on-screen cursor will drop down to
the
DIGITAL I N
line. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
until the name of the desired digital input
appears. To return to the Analog input, press the
buttons until the word
ANALOG
appears.
When the correct input source appears, press the
¤
button
E
until the
›
cursor appears next to
BACK T O MASTER MENU
, and press the
Set Button
F
.
To associate an analog or digital input with the
input source currently selected at any time using
the discrete function buttons, press the
Digital
Input Select Button
Ú
G
on the front panel
or the remote while the full-OSD is not in use.
Within five seconds, make your input selection
using the
Selector
buttons on the front panel
7$
or the
⁄
/
¤
E
Buttons
on the remote
until the desired digital or analog input is shown
in the
Main Information Display
˜
and in
the lower third of the video display connected to
the AVR. Press the
Set Button
F
to enter the
new input assignment.
When configuring the digital input for a source
device such as a digital cable box or other set-top
tuner product with a digital audio output where
you have connected both the digital and analog
outputs of the source to the AVR, select the
appropriate digital input on this menu. The digital
source will become the default, and the AVR will
always look there first to see if a signal is present.
However, if the digital data stream is interrupted
for any reason, the AVR will automatically switch
to the analog connection as a backup. This is par-
ticularly useful when configuring the connection
for digital set top boxes, where some channels
feature digital sound, but others do not.
An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability
to switch front panel jacks from their normal use
as inputs to output connections so that portable
recording devices may easily be connected. The
front panel analog
Video 4 Jacks
Ô
are nor-
mally set as an input for use with camcorders,
video games and other portable audio/video
products, but they may be switched to an output
for connection to portable audio/video recorders.
To temporarily switch them to outputs, select the
IN/OUT SETUP
menu. Press the
¤
button
E
until the on-screen
›
cursor is pointing to
the
VIDEO 4
line. Press the
›
button
E
so
that the word
OUT
is highlighted. Note that the
Input/Output Status Indicator
(
between
the S and Composite video jacks will turn red,
indicating that the analog
Video 4 jacks
Ô
are
now record outputs.
On the AVR, the
Coaxial 3 Digital Jack
Ó
is
normally an input, but it may also be switched to
a digital output for use with CD-R/RW decks, MD
recorders or other digital audio recorders. To
change the jack to an output, press the
⁄
/
¤
but-
tons
E
while the
IN/OUT SETUP
menu is
on the screen so that the
›
cursor is next to
COAXIAL 3
. Then press the
‹
/
›
buttons
E
so that the word
OUT
is highlighted. Note that
the
Digital Coax 3 Status Indicator
(
will
turn red, indicating that the jack is now a record
output.
Note:
A signal will be sent to this jack only when
the input selected for use by the AVR is digital.
Digital signals will be passed through regardless
of their format, and which digital input (optical or
coax) they are fed from. However, analog signals
are not converted to digital, and the format of the
signal (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may not
be changed.
Selection of the jacks as an output will remain
effective as long as the AVR is on. However, once
the unit is turned off, the jack will revert to its
normal use as an input when the unit is turned
on again.
