Contrast Adjustment
Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the lower right corner 1.
of the screen and a deep, dark, black bar to the left.
If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases when the Contrast is turned 2.
up or the borders of white letters bloom (overlight) into the black areas (drastically
decreasing the sharpness of the letters), the contrast has been turned up too much.
Reduce the Contrast until these effects disappear and the video still looks realistic.
If you are watching TV with ambient daylight, adjust the contrast so that a normal 3.
video picture looks the same as the surroundings in your room; that way the eye is
relaxed when watching the TV picture. Reduce the setting when the surrounding light
is dimmed to improve the sharpness of the picture.
The gray scale in the middle line should retain the same distinction between each 4.
bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, repeat both Step 3 of the Brightness
Adjustment and the Contrast Adjustment.
Color Adjustment
When the brightness and contrast are set optimally, adjust the Color control. Set the 1.
level so that the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone. If the color level is
too high, depending on the TV, some of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity
will not increase when the control is turned up. Test the color intensity with a video of
pictures of faces, flowers, fruit and vegetables.
Refer to a large white bar in your test pattern to tweak the warmth of the picture using 2.
the Tint control on your TV.
Sharpness Adjustment
Contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer with the sharpness
backed off from the maximum setting. Reduce the Sharpness setting on your television,
and the setting on the AVR, if necessary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines
between the bars in the gray-scale portion of the test screen.
Manual Speaker Setup
Your AVR is flexible and may be configured to work with most speakers and to compensate
for the acoustic characteristics of your room.
The EzSet/EQ process automatically detects the capabilities of each connected speaker
and optimizes the AVR’s performance with your speakers. If you are unable to run EzSet/
EQ calibration, or if you wish to set up your AVR for your speakers manually, use the
Manual Speaker Setup on-screen menus.
Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the
Place Your Speakers
section, on page 13, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owner’s guide for the
speakers or the manufacturer’s Web site for their frequency-range specification. Although
you may set the AVR’s individual channel levels “by ear,” an SPL (sound-pressure level)
meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.
Record your configuration settings in Tables A3 through A12 in the Appendix for easy
re-entry after a system reset or after the AVR’s Master Power switch has been turned off
or the unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks.
NOTE:When using the AVR’s Manual Speaker Setup menus, select a video output
resolution of 720p or higher to view graphics that simplify configuration.
Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies
Without using the EzSet/EQ process, the AVR can’t detect how many speakers you’ve
connected to it; nor can it determine their capabilities. Consult the technical specifications
for all of your speakers and locate the frequency response, usually given as a range, e.g.,
100Hz – 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest frequency that each of your speakers
is capable of playing (100Hz in the above example) as the crossover in Table A3 in the
Appendix. NOTE: This is not the same as the crossover frequency listed in the speaker’s
specifications.
For the subwoofer, write down the transducer size. The AVR’s bass management
determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion
of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers will result in
bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The highest notes may not be heard at
all through the subwoofer.
With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover point.
All information above that crossover point is played through your system’s speakers,
and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. This way,
each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and
enjoyable sound experience.
Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances
Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the
center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the
listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from
different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.
Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker
placement differences.
Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down
in Table A4 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from
the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in
Set the Speaker
Distances
, on page 38.
Step Three – Manual Speaker Setup Menu
Now you are ready to program the receiver. Sit in your usual listening position, and make
the room as quiet as possible.
With the receiver and video display turned on, press the Setup button to display the menu
system. Select the Speaker Setup menu, and then select Manual Setup.

will be sent to the front left and right speakers.
LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the left and right
program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the
LFE-channel information to the subwoofer.

section and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OK button to change the setting.
NOTE: If you set the Assigned AMP channels to Zone 2, you will not be able to adjust
their delay settings.
Step Four – Setting Channel Output Levels Manually
For a conventional stereo receiver, a simple balance control adjusts the stereo imaging
by varying the relative loudness of the left and right channels. In a home theater system
with up to seven main channels plus a subwoofer, achieving proper imaging becomes
both more critical and more complex. The goal is to ensure that each channel is heard
at the listening position with equal loudness (when signals of equal loudness are played
through them).
Your AVR’s EzSet/EQ calibration can handle this critical task for you simply and
automatically. However, the AVR’s Adjust Speaker Levels menu allows you to calibrate
the levels manually, either using the system’s built-in test tone or while playing source
material.
Press the Setup button to display the menu system, and then navigate to the Speaker
Setup line. Press the OK button to display the Speaker Setup menu. Select Manual Setup,
press the OK button, and then navigate to the Level Adjust line. Press the OK button to
display the Adjust Speaker Levels menu.

Adjust Speaker Levels
0 dB
Test ToneOff
All of the system’s speakers will appear with their current level settings. You can adjust
each speaker’s level between –10dB and +10dB in 1dB increments.
While making adjustments, you can measure the channel levels in one of these ways:
Preferably, use a handheld SPL meter set to the C-weighting, slow scale. Adjust each •
speaker so that the meter reads 75dB when the AVR’s built-in test noise is playing.
By ear. Adjust the levels so that the test tone sounds equally loud to you when it plays •
through each speaker.
To set your levels using the AVR’s internal test tone, select the menu’s Test Tone line and
use the OK button to select between Auto and Manual:
Auto:The test tone will automatically circulate to all speakers, as indicated by the
highlight bar. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the level for any speaker when the
test tone is paused there. Use the Up/Down buttons to move the cursor to another line,
and the test tone will follow the cursor. To stop the test tone, use the Up/Down buttons to
move the cursor out of the screen’s speaker listings area.
Manual: The test tone will stay on the current speaker until you use the Up/Down buttons
to move it to another speaker. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust the level for the speaker
through which the test tone is playing.
If you are using an external source to set your output levels, set Test Tone to Off, use
the Up/Down buttons to navigate to each speaker, and use the Left/Right buttons to
adjust the speaker’s level while the source plays. NOTE: If you are using a handheld SPL
meter with external source material, such as a test disc or an audio selection, play it and
adjust the AVR’s master volume control until the meter measures 75dB. Then adjust the
individual speaker levels.
Reset Levels: To reset all levels to their factory defaults of 0dB, scroll down to this line
at the bottom of the menu and press the OK button.
When you have finished adjusting the speaker levels, record the settings in Table A3 in
the Appendix. Then select the Back option or press the Back/Exit Button.
Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in Home Theater Systems:
While setting your system’s individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your
personal taste, here are some ideas you may find helpful:
For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an •
enveloping, realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without
drawing your attention away from the action on the screen.
For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field •
that places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places
the musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as
you would experience in a concert hall).
In most 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel film soundtracks, the surround speakers are •
not intended to be as loud or as active as the front speakers. Adjusting the surround
speakers so they are always as loud as the front speakers could make dialogue difficult
to understand and will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud.
Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:
Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, while the •
ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. When setting the subwoofer volume, listen
to both music and films with strong bass content and find a “middle ground” volume
level that works for both.
If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in a •
different location. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase its
bass output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to lessen
its bass output.

HDMI Control: 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.
Audio Return Channel: Selecting “Auto” will send audio from the TV to the AVR via the
HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection (which is in the HDMI cable connecting
the AVR to the TV). The TV source’s “Audio Input from Source” will be automatically
reassigned to the HDMI ARC connector. This way, whenever you’re watching a source
that is connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection), you can listen to
the sound through the AVR.
Power Control: This setting links the power on/off functions of the AVR to those of a TV
connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When Power Control is set to On, turning
the TV’s power off will automatically put the AVR into the Standby mode; turning the TV’s
power on will automatically turn the AVR on. NOTE: The connected TV must support the
HDMI System Standby CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
TV Control: This setting extends some audio-control functions between the AVR and a TV
connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When TV Control is set to On, if the TV is set
to use external speakers, the TV’s internal speakers will mute, and you can use the TV’s
remote to control the AVR’s volume up/down and mute functions. If the TV is set to use
its internal speakers, the AVR’s output will automatically mute. NOTE: The connected TV
must support the HDMI Remote Control/System Audio Control CEC (Consumer Electronics

To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the
same Source Selector button in Steps 1 and 3.
NOTE: The Volume and Mute controls are always dedicated to the AVR.
Programming Macro (Activity) Commands
In addition to their normal functions, you can also use the 0 – 9 Number buttons and AVR
Power On button to store Macro (Activity) commands – up to 11 of them. Each Macro
can send out up to 19 commands at one time from a single button push. Any AVR remote
control button’s function from any mode (except the Back/Exit button, the Light button,
and the Activity button) can be programmed into a Macro.
NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated Macros. It isn’t possible to program
a pause or delay before sending additional commands after a “Power On” command, and
the component may not be ready to respond to commands immediately after powering
on.
To program a Macro:
To enter the Programming mode, simultaneously press and hold the Activity button and 1.
the Number button or AVR Power On button to which you want to assign the Macro.
Press in up to 19 commands that you want stored in that Macro button. During each 2.
successive button selection, the Source Selector button LED will blink once. Press the
Source Selector button for each device (or Setup button for the AVR itself) before you
enter individual commands. This step counts as one of the 19 commands allowed for
each Macro.
You can select functions from another mode by first pressing the corresponding Source •
Selector button and then the buttons where those functions are located within that
mode. Pressing a Source Selector button also counts as one command.
For power on, press the AVR or Device Power On button. •
For power off, press the AVR or Device Power Off button. •
Press the Activity button to end the programming process. The last Source Selector 3.
button (or the Setup button) will flash three times.
It isn’t possible to “edit” a command within a Macro. To erase the Macro:
Press and hold the Activity Button and the button into which you programmed the 1.
Macro until the Source Selector or Setup button lights up.
Press the Activity button to erase the Macro.2.
To execute a Macro:
Press the Activity button, then press the button into which you programmed the Macro.
IMPORTANT:Keep the remote aimed at the components until all of the Macro
commands have been executed. The remote can take up to 10 seconds to send out 19
Macro commands.
Recording
Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are
normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. To make a recording, connect
your audio or video recorder to the appropriate AVR output connectors as described in
the Making Connections section, insert blank media in the recorder and make sure the
recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing. Refer to the recording
device’s instructions for complete information about making recordings.
NOTES:
The AVR does not convert analog signals to digital or vice versa.1.
HDMI and component video sources are not available for recording.2.
Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material 3.
you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by law.
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.
Updating Your Network Software
From time to time, updates to your network sofwtare may become available. To check for
and download these updates:
After the AVR has connected to your network, press the remote’s Internet Radio source 1.
button.
On the AVR front panel, simultaneously press and hold the Surround Modes and Back/2.
Exit buttons.

connection during the update.
When the update is completed the AVR will automatically power off, and after five 6.
seconds will automatically power back on. Once the AVR turns back on it’s ready to
use.
Resetting the Remote
To reset the remote to its factory default condition, simultaneously press and hold the TV
Source Selector button and the “0” Number button. When the TV Source button relights,
enter the code “333.” When the TV button goes out, and all of the Source Selector buttons
flash, the remote control will be reset.
Processor Reset
If the AVR behaves erratically after a power surge, first turn off the rear-panel Main
Power switch and unplug the AC power cord for at least 3 minutes. Plug the cord back
in and turn the receiver on. If this procedure doesn’t help, reset the AVR’s processor as
described below.
NOTE:A processor reset erases all user configurations, including video resolution,
speaker and level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings
from your notes in the Appendix worksheets.
To reset the AVR’s processor:
Press the front-panel Standby/On switch to place the unit in the Standby mode (the 1.
Power Indicator will turn amber).
Press and hold the front-panel OK button for at least 5 seconds until the RESET 2.
message appears on the front-panel Message Display.
NOTE: After performing a processor reset, wait at least 1 minute before pressing any
Source Selector buttons.
If the receiver 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.
