System Settings
System Settings
The AVR’s System Settings menu lets you customize in what way many of the AVR’s
features operate. Press the OSD/Menu button and navigate to the System line. Press the
OK button to display the System Settings menu.
Panel Timeout: This setting allows you to set the AVR’s front-panel display to automatically
turn off after remaining on for a predetermined time (3 – 10 seconds) each time you use
a control. Set this to “Off” to have the display remain on continually.
Auto Power Off: This setting allows you to set the AVR to automatically switch to the
Off mode after being in the Sleep mode for a predetermined time (1 – 8 hours). See
Power Indicator/Power Button, on page 4, for more information. It also allows the AVR to
automatically switch to the Sleep mode after being on for the predetermined amount of
time. Note that it will not transition to Sleep mode this way if the active source has one
of the Digital Audio Connectors selected as the Audio Input. See Source Setup, on page
23, for more information.
Menu Timeout: This setting allows you to set the amount of time (20 – 50 seconds) a
menu screen will remain on after the last adjustment. Set this to “Off” to have the menus
remain on continually until you press the OSD/Menu button.
Status Message: When the AVR is turned on, the volume is adjusted, the source is
changed or a change in the input signal is detected, a status message will be displayed
on the TV screen. Select how long the message remains visible, from 2 to 10 seconds,
with a default of 3 seconds. Select “Off” if you do not wish to see the status messages on
the TV screen (they will still appear on the AVR’s front-panel display).
Volume Default and Default Volume Setting: These two settings are used together to
program the volume level when you turn on the AVR. Set Volume Default to On, and then
set the Default Volume Setting to the desired turn-on volume. When Volume Default is
set to Off, the AVR will turn on at the last-used volume setting from the previous listening
session.
HDMI Audio to TV: This setting determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed
through the HDMI Monitor Out connector to the video display. In normal operation, leave
this setting at Off, as audio will be played through the AVR. To use the TV by itself, without
the home theater system, turn this setting to On.
HDMI Link: This setting allows the communication of control information among the
HDMI devices in your system. Turn this setting to On to allow control communication
between the HDMI devices; turn the setting to Off to forbid control communication.
Software Update: If a software upgrade is released for your AVR, installation instructions
will be available in the Product Support section of the Web site or from Harman Kardon
customer service. At that time, you may use this submenu to install the upgrade
software.
IMPORTANT: During a software upgrade, do not power off the AVR or use any of its
controls. Doing so could permanently damage the AVR.
Sleep Timer
The sleep timer sets the AVR to play for up to 90 minutes and then turn off
automatically.
Press the Sleep button on the remote, and the time until turn-off will be displayed.
Each additional press of the Sleep button increases the play time by 10 minutes, with a
maximum of 90 minutes. The SLEEP OFF setting disables the sleep timer.
When the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically dim to half
brightness.
If you press the Sleep button after the timer has been set, the remaining play time will be
displayed. Press the Sleep button again to change the play time.
The front-panel display will count down during the final 10 seconds before going to Sleep
mode. Pressing any button during this countdown will cancel the process and disable
the Sleep timer.
Processor Reset
If the AVR behaves erratically after a power surge, unplug the AC power cord for at least
3 minutes. Plug the cord back in and turn the AVR on. If this procedure doesn’t help, reset
the AVR’s processor as described below.
NOTE:
A processor reset erases all user configurations, including speaker and level
settings and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings from your entries in
the Appendix worksheets.
To reset the AVR’s processor:
1. Press the front-panel Power Button for more than three seconds to turn the AVR off (the
Power Indicator will turn amber).
2. Press and hold the front-panel Surround Mode Category button for at least 5 seconds
until the RESET message appears on the front-panel display.
NOTE:
After performing a processor reset, wait at least 1 minute before pressing any
Source Selector buttons.
If the AVR does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized
Harman Kardon service center for assistance. Authorized service centers may be located
by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.
