OPERATION 31

Operation

is important to note that although Dolby Digital,

for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, not

all Dolby Digital DVD or audio tracks selected on

DVD or other Dolby Digital programs are encod-

ed for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a

DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger

e.g. only the “L” and “R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both

“5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same sound-

track, the ”2.0” version often is used with other

languages. When playing a DVD, always be cer-

tain to check the type of material on the disc.

Most discs show this information in the form of a

listing or icon on the back of the disc jacket.

When a disc does offer multiple soundtrack

choices you may have to make some adjustments

to your DVD player (usually with the “Audio

Select” button or in a menu screen on the disc)

to send a full 5.1 feed to the AVR 4000 or to

select the appropriate audio track and thus lan-

guage (”2.0” audio tracks can be played with all

surround modes, even with Logic 7, see indicator

”PCM” on page 30). It is also possible for the

type of signal feed to change during the course

of a DVD playback. In some cases the previews

of special material will only be recorded in 2.0

audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1

audio. As long as your DVD player is set for 6-

channel output, the AVR 4000 will automatically

sense changes to the bitstream and channel

count and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

also flash to indicate when a bit-

stream has been interrupted. This will happen

when a digital input source is selected before the

playback starts, or when a digital source such as

a DVD is put into a Pause mode.The flashing

indicators remind you that the playback has

stopped due to the absence of a digital signal

and not through any fault of the AVR.This is nor-

mal, and the digital playback will resume once

the playback is started again.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night

mode, which enables Dolby Digital input sources

to be played back with full digital intelligibilty

while reducing the maximum peak level and lift-

ing the low levels by

1/4 to 1/3. This prevents

abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others

without reducing the impact of the digital source.

The Night mode is available only when Dolby

Digital mode is selected.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby

Digital DVD is playing by pressing the Night

Button

on the remote. Next, press the ⁄/¤

buttons

to select either the middle range or

full compression versions of the Night mode. To

turn the Night mode off, press the

⁄/¤ buttons

until the message in the lower third of the

video display and the Main Information

Display

reads D-RANGE OFF.When

the Night mode is active, the Night Mode

Indicator

will also illuminate.

The Night mode may also be selected to always be

on at either level of compression using the options

in the Surround Setup Menu. See page 24 for

information on using the menus to set this option.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

1. When the digital playback source is stopped,

or in a pause, fast forward or chapter search

mode, the digital audio data will momentarily

stop, and the channel position letters inside the

Speaker/Channel Indicators

will flash.

This is normal and does not indicate a problem

with either the AVR 4000 or the source machine.

The AVR 4000 will return to digital playback as

soon as the data is available and when the

machine is in a standard play mode.

2.Although the AVR 4000 will decode virtually all

DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible

that some future digital sources may not be com-

patible with the AVR 4000.

3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs

and not all audio tracks on a DVD contain full

5.1-channel audio. Consult the program guide

that accompanies the DVD or laser disc to deter-

mine which type of audio has been recorded on

the disc. The AVR 4000 will automatically sense

the type of digital surround encoding used, indi-

cate it in the Bitstream Indicators

and

Channel Input Indicators

and adjust to

accommodate it.

4. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,

you normally may not be able to select some of

the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro

Logic, Dolby 3, Stereo, Hall,Theater, 5CH Stereo

or Logic 7, except with special audio tracks

(see indication ”Dolby Digital” on previous page)

or data format selected (see ”PCM” on previous

page).

5. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,

it is not possible to make an analog recording

using the Tape

or Video 1 or Video 2 or

record outputs, if the source is connected

to any digital input of the AVR4000 only. But the

analog two channel signal of that source, the

”Downmix” to Stereo or Dolby Surround, can be

recorded by connecting its analog audio outputs

to the appropriate analog inputs (e.g. DVD) of

the AVR4000, even if the digital input of the

AVR4000 remains selected. Additionally, the digi-

tal signals will be passed through to the Digital

Audio Outputs

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source

selected for listening through the AVR 4000 is

sent to the record outputs. This means that any

program you are watching or listening to may be

recorded simply by placing machines connected

to the outputs for Tape Outputs

or Video 1

or 2 Outputs

4MP

in the record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to

any of the Digital Audio Outputs

, you are

able to record the digital signal using a CD-R,

MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

Note that all digital signals will be passed

through to both, coaxial and optical, digital out-

puts simultanously, no matter which kind of digi-

tal input was selected.

In addition to the rear panel digital outputs, the

AVR 4000 offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive con-

figurable front panel digital output feature. For

easy connection of portable digital audio

recorders, you may switch the front panel

Coaxial Digital Jack

from an input to an

output by following these steps:

1. Press the OSD button

to view the main

MASTER MENU (Figure 1).

2. Press the Set button

to enter the

IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2).

3. Press the

button

twice so that the on-

screen

› cursor is next to COAXIAL 3.

4. Press either of the

‹/› buttons

that the word OUTis highlighted.

5. Press the OSD button

to exit the menus

and return to normal operation.

Note that once the setting is made, the Digital

Coax 3 Status Indicator

will turn red, indi-

cating that the Coaxial 3 Jack

is now an

output, instead of its default setting as an input.

Once the jack is changed to an output, the set-

ting will remain as long as the AVR 4000 is

turned on, unless the setting is changed in the

OSD menu system, as described above. Note,

however, that once the AVR 4000 is turned off,

the setting is cancelled. When the unit is turned

on again, the Coaxial 3 Jack

will return to

its normal default setting as an input. If you wish

to use the jack as an output, the setting must be

changed again using the OSD menu system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a digital

signal is present, and they do not convert an ana-

log input to a digital signal, or change the format

of the digital signal (e.g. Dolby Digital to PCM or

vice versa, but coaxial digital signals are converted

to optical signals and vice versa). In additon, the

digital recorder must be compatible with the out-

put signal. For example, the PCM digital input
