SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR 4000 is to
select an input. This may be done by pressing
the front panel

Input Source Selector

until the desired input’s name appears momen-
tarily in the

Main Information Display

and the green LED lights next to the input’s
name in the front panel

Input Indicators



The input may also be selected by pressing the
appropriate Input Selector on the remote control

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

OSD

button

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

button

to enter the menu and the

IN/OUT S E T U P

menu (Figure 2) will

appear on the screen. Press the

‹

›

buttons

until the desired input name appears in

the highlighted video, as well as being indicated
in the front panel

Input Indicators



by the

green LED next to the desired input name. If the
input will use the standard left/right analog
inputs, no further adjustment is needed.

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

but-

ton

on the remote while the

IN/OUT

S E T U P

menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and

note that the on-screen cursor will drop down to
the

D I G I T A L I N

line. Press the

‹

›

but-

tons

until the name of the desired digi-

tal input name appears. To return to the

A N A L O G

input, press the buttons until the

word analog appears. When the correct input
appears, press the

button

until the

›

cursor appears next to

R E T U R N T O

M E N U

, and press the

Set

button

To change the digital input associated with the
input selected at any time using the discrete
function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the

Digital Input Select

button

on the front panel or the remote. Within five sec-
onds, make your input selection using the

Selector

buttons on the front panel

or the

⁄

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 4000. Then press the

Set

button

enter the new digital input assignment.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the abili-
ty to switch front panel jacks from their normal
use as inputs to output connections so that
portable recording devices may easily be con-
nected. On the AVR 4000, the

Coaxial 3

Digital Jack

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 dig-
ital audio recorders. To change the jack to an
output, press the

⁄

buttons

while the

I N / O U T S E T U P

menu is on the screen

so that the

›

cursor is next to

C O A X I A L

. Then press the

‹

›

buttons

so that

the word

O U T

is highlighted. Note that the

Digital Coax 3 Status Indicator

will turn

red, indicating that the jack is now a record out-
put.

Note:

A signal will be sent to this jack only

when the input selected for use by the AVR
4000 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 Digital Coax 3 jack as an
output will remain effective as long as the
AVR 4000 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.

Surround Setup

Once the input setup has been completed, the
next step for that input is to set the surround
mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-
round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel
free to select any mode you wish – you may
change it later. The Surround Mode chart on
page 28 may help you select the mode best suit-
ed to the input source selected. However, to
make it easier to establish the initial parameters
for the AVR 4000, it is best to select Dolby Pro
Logic for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital
for inputs connected to digital sources. In the
case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or
Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo, if
that is your preferred listening mode for stan-
dard stereo sources, where it is unlikely that sur-
round encoded material will be used.
Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or Logic 7
Music mode may also be a good choice for
stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup
using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the
main

MASTER MENU

menu (Figure 1),

press the

⁄

button

until the

›

cursor is

next to the

S U R R O U N D S E T U P

menu.

Press the

Set

button

so that the

SURROUND SETUP

menu (Figure 3 or 4)

is on the screen.

Figure 3

Figure 4

Since the factory default for all inputs is Stereo,
the words

S U R R O F F

will initially appear in

highlighted video (Figure 3) unless another sur-
round mode choice was made with the input
just selected. To change the surround mode
while the

›

cursor is next to the surround line,

press the

‹

›

buttons

until the desired

surround mode’s name appears in the highlight-
ed video. As the modes are changed, a green
LED will also light next to the mode names in
the

Surround Mode Indicators

on the

front panel.

Note that the data lines next to the items in the
screen display will show either numbers or a
series of dashes, depending on whether or not
the specific parameter is adjustable. For exam-
ple, the Center Delay and Night Mode items are
only adjustable for Dolby Digital, and the Delay
Time is only adjusted for Dolby Digital and Dolby
Pro Logic. Note, also, that Dolby Digital and DTS
will only appear as choices (Figure 4) when a
digital input was previously selected. These set-
tings for Delay, Crossover Frequency and Night
mode, that are independent of any input select-
ed, will be described in the next chapter on page
23.

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR 4000 which type of
speakers are in use. This is important as it
adjusts the settings that determine which
speakers receive low frequency (bass) informa-
tion. For each of these settings use the

L A R G E

setting if the speakers for a

particular position are traditional full-range
loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 100Hz. Use the

S M A L L

set-

ting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite
speakers that do not reproduce sounds below
100Hz. Note that when “small” front (left and
right) speakers are used, a subwoofer is
required to reproduce low frequency sounds. If
