Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 8000 is
sent to the record outputs. This means that any
program you are watching or listening to may
be recorded simply by placing machines con-
nected to the outputs for

Tape Outputs

Video 1/Video 2 Outputs

in the record

mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to
the

Digital Audio Outputs

*Ó

, you

are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R,
MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal is present, and they do not con-
vert an analog input to a digital signal, or
change the format of the digital signal. In
addition, the digital recorder must be com-
patible with the output signal. For example,
the PCM digital input from a CD player may
be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby
Digital or DTS signals may not.

• Please make certain that you are aware of

any copyright restrictions on any material you
copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted
materials is prohibited by federal law.

Front Panel Connections

In addition to the rear panel digital outputs, the
AVR 8000 offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive
configurable front panel output jack feature. For
easy connection of portable devices, you may

switch the front panel

from

an input to an output by following these steps:

1.Press the

(Figure 1).

2.Press the

to exit the

menus and return to normal operation.

Note that once the setting is made, the

Input/Output Status Indicator

will turn

red, indicating that the jacks are now an out-
put, instead of in the default setting as an
input. Once changed to an output, the setting
will remain as long as the AVR 8000 is turned
on, unless the setting is changed in the OSD
menu system, as described above. Note, howev-
er, that once the AVR 8000 is turned off, the
setting is cancelled. When the unit is turned on
again, the front panel jacks will return to their
normal default setting as an input. If you wish
to use their jacks as an output at a future time,
the setting must be changed again using the
OSD menu system, as described above.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the
AVR 8000 is established using the test tone,
as outlined on pages 24 through 26. In some
cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the
output levels using program material such as a
test disc, or a selection you are familiar with.
Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer
can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program
material, first set the reference volume for
the front left and front right channels using the

Volume Control

If you are using a disc with test signals or an
external signal generator as the source from
which to trim the output levels, you may use
the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you
to the correct SPL level. To use the remote for
