ADVANCED FEATURES

Advanced Features

The AVR 7000 is equipped with a number of
advanced features that add extra flexibility to
the unit’s operation. While it is not necessary
to use these features to operate the unit, they
provide additional options that you may wish
to use.

Front Panel Input/Output Connections

Like many audio/video receivers, the AVR 7000
offers front panel audio/video inputs that
simplify the temporary connection of portable
audio players, video games and camcorders so
that they may be used as input sources for your
system. In addition to the standard left/right
audio and composite video, the AVR 7000 also
includes an S-Video connection.

However, unlike other products, the front panel
connections on the AVR 7000 may be used as
an output as well as an input. This means that
you may make a simple or temporary connec-
tion to a portable tape, MD or optical disc
recorder or to a computer so that it may record
the program source currently playing through
the AVR 7000. This is an exclusive Harman
Kardon feature.

In normal operation, the front panel

Video 4

Connections

are configured as an input.

Their use as an input is indicated by the green
color of the

Video 4 Status Indicator

To temporarily switch the Video 4 connections
to an output, you will need to make an adjust-
ment in the

ADVANCED SELECT

(Figure 1). To start the adjustment, press the

OSD

button

to bring the

MAIN

AUDIO SETUP

menu (Figure 1) to the

screen. Press the

Button

six times, until

the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

ADVANCED

line. Press the

Set

Button

to enter the

ADVANCED SELECT

(Figure 8).

The default setting for the Video 4 jacks is used
when the jacks are used as inputs. To change
them to an output, make certain that the on-
screen

›

cursor is next to the

VIDEO 4

line,

and press the

›

button

so that the word

OUT

is highlighted in the video display. At the

same time, note that

Video 4 Status

Indicator

will turn red, to indicate the out-

put status. If you wish to make other adjust-
ments, press the

⁄

buttons

until the

on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

RETURN

TO MAIN MENU

line. If you have no other

adjustments to make, press the

OSD

button

to exit the menu system.

Once the Video 4 jacks have been switched to
an output, the signal currently selected as the
AVR 7000’s input will be fed to these jacks.
Note, however, that like the other record out-
puts, only analog sources will be fed to these
jacks. When either a digital input or the 6-
Channel Direct input is in use, the signal will
not be fed to these jacks.

Switching the front panel jacks to output status
is temporary and it will be cancelled when the
AVR 7000 is turned off. When the unit is turned
back on, the jacks will revert to the default sta-
tus as an input. To return the front panel jacks
to input use without turning the unit off, use
the on-screen menu system as outlined above
and switch the setting so that the word

highlighted on the Video 4 line.

Display Brightness

The AVR 7000’s front panel display indicators

are set at a default brightness level that is

sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room.
However, in some home theater installations,
you may wish to occasionally lower the bright-
ness of the display, or turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness setting for a
specific listening session, you will need to make
an adjustment in the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu. To start the adjustment,

press the

OSD

button

to bring the main

audio setup menu to the screen. Press the

Button

six times, until the on-screen

›

cur-

sor is next to the

ADVANCED

line. Press the

Set

Button

to enter the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 8).

To change the brightness setting, at the

ADVANCED SELECT

menu, make cer-

tain that the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

VFD

line, and press the press the

›

Button

until the desired brightness level is high-

lighted in the video display. When

FULL

highlighted, the display is at its normal bright-
ness. When

HALF

is highlighted, the display

is at half the normal brightness level. When

OFF

is highlighted, all of the indicators in the

Information Display

will go dark. Note,

however, that the green LEDs for the

Input

Indicators

and the

Surround Mode

Indicators

, as well as for the

Power

Indicator

, will always remain lit to remind

you that the unit is turned on.

The display brightness may also be changed by
pressing and holding the

Set

button

(

on the

front for three seconds until the message in the

Main Information Display

reads

VFD

FULL

. Within five seconds, press the front

panel

Selector

buttons

until the desired

brightness display level is shown. At that point,
press the

Set

button

again to enter the

setting.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it
will remain in effect until it is changed again or
until the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press
the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

RETURN TO MAIN

line. If you have no other adjustments

to make, press the

OSD

Button

to exit the

menu system.

Turn On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers,
when the AVR 7000 is turned on, it will always
return to the volume setting in effect when the
unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to
always have the AVR 7000 turn on at a specific
setting, regardless of what was last in use
when the unit was turned off. To change the
default condition so that the same volume level
is always used at turn-on, you will need to
make an adjustment in the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu. To start the adjustment,

press the

OSD

button

to bring the main

AUDIO SETUP

menu (Figure 1) to the

screen. Press the

button

six times,
