alter a setting. The configuration settings for speaker
“size” and crossover points are set once and applied
to all inputs.

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the

OSD Button

once so

that the

MASTER MENU

(Figure 1) appears. The

cursor will be next to the

IN/OUT SETUP

line. Press the

Set Button

and the

IN/OUT

SETUP

menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen.

Press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the

desired input name appears in the highlighted video,
as well as being indicated in the front-panel

Input

Indicators

. When you are scrolling through the

list of available inputs, you will 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

on the remote so that the

cursor is pointing to

TITLE

. Next, press and hold

the

Set Button

for a few seconds until a flashing

box appears to the right of the colon. Immediately
release the

Set Button

, as you are now ready

to enter the device name.

Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

and note

that a complete set of alphanumeric characters will
appear with the start of the alphabet in capital letters
followed by the lowercase letters and then numbers
and symbols. When you press the

Navigation

Button

, a series of symbols and numbers will

appear, followed by a reverse list of the alphabet in
lowercase 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

When the desired character appears, press the

›

Navigation Button

and repeat the process for

the next letter, and continue until the desired name is
entered, up to a maximum of 14 characters. Press
the

Set Button

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 635
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 flexibility. The default setting is for
the

Component Video 1 Jacks

to be assigned

to the DVD and 6/8-Channel Direct inputs, with the

Component Video 2 Jacks

assigned to all other

inputs. If your system does not include component
video at this time, or if you do not need to change
these defaults, press the

Navigation Button

to go to the next setting.

To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the

cursor is pointing to the

COMPONENT IN

line on the menu screen,

and then press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until you see the desired input in the highlighted
video. The clicking noise that you will hear when the
component video inputs are switched is normal, due
to the relay used to ensure proper isolation between
the two inputs.

When the desired component input has been selected,
press the

Navigation Button

to go to the

next setting.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with
the selected input source or change the default digital
input selection, press the

Navigation Button

on the remote while the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and the on-screen
cursor will drop down to the

DIGITAL IN

line.

Press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the

name of the desired digital input appears. To return
to the analog input, press the button until the word

ANALOG

appears.

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 whether 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 particularly useful when configuring
the connection for digital set-top boxes, where some
channels feature digital sound, but others do not.

To change the digital input at any time using the dis-
crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the

Digital Select Button

on the remote.

Within 5 seconds, make your input selection using
the

⁄

Navigation Button

until the desired

digital or analog input is shown in the

Upper Display

Line

and in the lower line of the on-screen

display.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to
switch front-panel coaxial digital audio and analog
audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to
output connections so that portable recording devices
may easily be connected. On the AVR 635, the

Coaxial 4 Digital Jack

is normally an input, but

this may also be switched to a digital output for use
with CD-R/RW decks, MD recorders or other digital
recorders. To change the jack to an output, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

while the

IN/OUT

SETUP

menu is on the screen until the

cursor

is next to

COAXIAL 4

. Then press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

so that

OUT

is highlighted.

The

Input/Output 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 635 is digital. Digital
signals will be passed through regardless of their for-
mat, 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.

The front-panel analog

Video 4 Inputs

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 audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them
to outputs, you must first be at the

IN/OUT

SETUP

menu. Press the

Navigation Button

until the on-screen

cursor is pointing to the

VIDEO 4

line. Press the

›

Navigation Button

so that the word

OUT

is highlighted. The

Input/Output Status Indicator

between the S-

and composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that
the analog Video 4 jacks are now record outputs.

Selection of the front-panel jacks as an output will
remain effective as long as the AVR 635 is on. Once
the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their nor-
mal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.

The AVR 635 uses high-quality video decoding circuitry
that makes it possible to convert standard (composite)
or S-video signals from their original form to separate
component analog outputs that carry the receiver’s
OSD menus and messages with no loss in quality. This
enables you to simplify connections to a digital video
