Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR7000 you are about to begin many years of lis-tening enjoyment. The AVR 7000 has been cus-tom designed to provide all the excitement anddetail of movie sound tracks and every nuanceof musical selections. With onboard Dolby*Digital and DTS† decoding, the AVR 7000 deliv-ers six discrete channels of audio that takeadvantage of the digital sound tracks from thelatest DVD and LD releases and Digital Televisionbroadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard at workwithin the AVR 7000 to make all of this happen,hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyedconnections, a backlit, programmable remotecontrol, and on-screen menus make the AVR7000 easy to use. To obtain the maximumenjoyment from your new receiver, we urge youto take the time to read through this manual.This will ensure that connections to speakers,source playback units and other externaldevices are made properly. In addition, a fewminutes spent learning the functions of the vari-ous controls will enable you to take advantageof all the power the AVR 7000 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, itsinstallation or its operation, please contact yourdealer. He is your best local source of informa-tion.

Description and FeaturesThe AVR 7000 is among the most versatile andmulti-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo-rating a wide range of listening options. In addi-tion to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digi-tal sources, a broad choice of analog surroundmodes are available for use with sources such asCD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s ownFM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic*, Dolby3 Stereo and custom Hall and Theater modes,only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7® to

create a wider, more enveloping field environ-ment and more defined fly-overs and pans. TheAVR 7000 is also the only receiver that offersHDCD® decoding to provide the most realisticplayback of CDs when a digital connection isused, even with a normal Non-HDCD-compatibleCD or DVD player. Another Harman Kardonexclusive is VMAx™, which uses proprietary pro-cessing to create an open, spacious sound fieldeven when only two front speakers are available.

No matter how sophisticated your system com-ponents, the AVR 7000 is able to accommodatethem. In addition to five A/V-inputs with audio,composite video and S-Video, the AVR 7000 fea-tures two component video inputs to ensure theutmost in picture quality. Audio is accommodat-ed by two additional audio-only inputs, four digi-tal audio inputs and two digital audio outputs. Aseparate six-channel direct input is also availableto ensure compatibility with future audio sys-tems.

Despite the wide range of inputs available,selecting between them is simple, using a backlitremote control that operates the AVR and up toseven additional devices. Codes may be pro-grammed into the remote either from an exten-sive internal database or via a learning method.

The AVR 7000’s flexibility and power extendbeyond your main home theater or listeningroom. The AVR includes a sophisticated multi-zone control system that allows you to selectone source for use in the main room and a dif-ferent one in a second room. Both compositevideo and S-Video, as well as audio, are routedto the remote room location, with complete con-trol over volume provided by a separate infraredcontrol link. To make it easy to operate the AVR7000 from a remote room, a separate Zone IIremote is included.

The AVR 7000’s powerful amplifier usestraditional Harman Kardon high-current designtechnologies to meet the wide dynamic range ofany program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv-er more than forty-seven years ago. With state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuitdesigns, the AVR 7000 is the finest receiver everoffered by Harman Kardon.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 15

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solidsurface capable of supporting its weight, you willneed to make the connections to your audio andvideo equipment.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality inter-connect cables when making connections tosource equipment and recorders to preserve theintegrity of the signals.

When making connections to audio sourceequipment or speakers it is always a good prac-tice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet.This prevents any possibility of accidentally send-ing audio or transient signals to the speakersthat may damage them.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player tothe CD inputs ¢.

NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed andvariable audio outputs it is best to use the fixedoutput unless you find that the input to thereceiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or sohigh that the signal is distorted.

2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cas-sette deck, MD, CD-R or other audio recorder tothe Tape In jacks •. Connect the analogRecord/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape Outjacks ‚ on the AVR 7000.

3. Connect the output of any digital sources tothe appropriate input connections on the AVR7000 rear panel. Note that the Optical andCoaxial digital inputs °· may be used witha Dolby Digital or DTS source or the output of aconventional CD, MD or LD player’s PCM (S/P-DIF) output.

4. Connect the Coaxial or Optical DigitalOutputs ‡ on the rear panel of the AVR to thematching digital input connections on a CD-R orMiniDisc recorder.

5. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied withthe unit as shown below. Connect it to the AMand GND screw terminals ¡ .

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM(75 ohm) connection ™. The FM antenna maybe an external roof antenna, an inside poweredor wire lead antenna or a connection from acable system. Note that if the antenna or con-nection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you mustuse a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make theconnection.

7. Connect the front, center and surround speak-er outputs ª to the respective speakers.

To assure that all the audio signals are carried toyour speakers without loss of clarity or resolu-tion, we suggest that you use high-qualityspeaker cable. Many brands of cable are avail-able and the choice of cable may be influencedby the distance between your speakers and thereceiver, the type of speakers you use, personalpreferences and other factors. Your dealer orinstaller is a valuable resource to consult inselecting the proper cable.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected, werecommend that you use a cable constructed offine, multistrand copper with an area greaterthan 2 mm2.

Cable with an area of 1.5 mm2 may be used forshort runs of less than 4 m. We do not recom-mend that you use cables with an area less than1mm2 due to the power loss and degradation inperformance that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should have theappropriate markings to indicate listing with UL,CSA or other appropriate testing agency stan-dards. Questions about running cables insidewalls should be referred to your installer or alicensed electrical contractor who is familiar withthe applicable local building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be cer-tain to observe proper polarity. Remember toconnect the “negative” or “black” wire to thesame terminal on both the receiver and thespeaker. Similarly, the “positive” or “red” wireshould be connected to like terminals on theAVR 7000 and speaker.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturersadhere to an industry convention of using blackterminals for negative and red ones for positive,some manufacturers may vary from this configu-ration. To assure proper phase and optimal per-formance, consult the identification plate onyour speaker or the speaker’s manual to verifypolarity. If you do not know the polarity of yourspeaker, ask your dealer for advice before pro-ceeding, or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

We also recommend that the length of cableused to connect speaker pairs be identical. Forexample, use the same length piece of cable to

connect the front-left and front-right or sur-round-left and surround-right speakers, even ifthe speakers are a different distance from theAVR 7000.

8. Connections to a subwoofer are normallymade via a line level audio connection from theSubwoofer Output fi to the line-level inputof a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. When apassive subwoofer is used, the connection firstgoes to a power amplifier, which will be con-nected to one or more subwoofer speakers. Ifyou are using a powered subwoofer that doesnot have line-level input connections, follow theinstructions furnished with the speaker for con-nection information.

Note: Speaker sets with two front satellites anda passive subwoofer must be connected to thefront speaker outputs ª only rather than to theSubwoofer Output fi.

Video Equipment Connections

Video equipment is connected in the same man-ner as audio components. Again, the use of high-quality interconnect cables is recommended topreserve signal quality. To ensure best video per-formance S-Video sources should be connectedto the AVR7000RDS only with their S-Video In/Outputs, not with their composite video connec-tors too.

1. Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Outjacks to the Video 1 In jacks i on the rearpanel. The Audio and Video Record/In jacks onthe VCR should be connected to the Video 1Out jacks h on the AVR 7000.

2. Connect the analog audio and video outputsof a satellite receiver, cable TV converter or tele-vision set or any other video source to theVideo 2 g or Video 3 f jacks.

3. Connect the analog audio and video outputsof a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD jacksj.

4. Connect the digital audio outputs of a CD,MD or DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box orHDTV converter to the appropriate Optical orCoaxial Digital Inputs °·.

5. Connect the Video Monitor Out e jackson the receiver to the composite and S-Videoinput of your television monitor or video projec-tor.

Installation and Connections

16 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

6. If your DVD player and monitor both havecomponent video connections, connect the com-ponent outputs of the DVD player to the DVDComponent Video Inputs ¶. Note that evenwhen component video connections are usedthe audio connections must still be made toeither the analog DVD Audio Inputs j or anyof the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks°·.

7. If another component video device is avail-able, connect it to the Video 2 ComponentVideo Input jacks §. The audio connectionsfor this device should be made to either theVideo 2 Input jacks g or any of the Coaxialor Optical Digital Input jacks °·.

8. If the component video inputs are used, con-nect the Component Video Output ∞ to thecomponent video inputs of your TV, projector ordisplay device.

Video Connection Notes:• When the component video jacks are used, the

on-screen menus will not be visible. You mustswitch to the standard composite or S-Videoinput on your TV to view those menus.

• The AVR 7000’s component video system isdesigned for standard video rate video fromDVD players and similar devices. While it mayoperate with high definition signals, the videoquality may be slightly less than with a directconnection between the DVD and your TV.

• The AVR 7000 will accept either standard com-posite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component videosignals. However, it will not convert compositeor S signals to component video.

• Component or Composite video signals mayonly be viewed in their native formats.However, S-Video signals will be converted tostandard, composite video, and are viewablethrough the Composite Video MonitorOutput e.

SCART A/V Connections

For the connections described above your videodevice needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S-Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals:Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8)for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs forrecord and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any S-Video device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA(Audio) and 1 S-Video jack (Video), if it´s a play-back unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and 2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recordingVCR.

Many european video devices are equipped withRCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially, notfor all audio and video in/outputs needed asdescribed above, but with a so called Scart orEuro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with21 pins, see drawings on next page).

In that case the following Scart to Cinchadapters or cables are needed:

• Units for playback, such as satellite receivers,camcorders, DVD or LD players, need anadapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1(normal video devices) or from Scart to 2RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Videodevices).

• HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or fromScart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5 (S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instructionattached to the adapter to find which of thesix plugs is used for the record signal to theVCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) andfor the playback signal from the VCR (connectwith the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnectAudio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to con-sult your dealer, if you are uncertain.

• If you use only normal video devices the TVmonitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs toScart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices areused an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugsto Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6), con-nected to the SCART input on your TV that isprovided for S-Video.

Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow"cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig. 6) must be connected to the TV MonitorOutput e, and the volume on the TV must bereduced to minimum.

Important Note for Adapter Cables:If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll useare labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In”plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video”In” jacks on the AVR 7000 (and with a VCRconnect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks onthe AVR). Note that with some adapter types itmay be just turned around: If no signal is audi-ble/ visible when the VCR is playing connect the“Out” plugs to the ”In” jacks on the AVR andturned around. If the adapter plugs are notlabeled in that way, pay attention to the signalflow directions as shown in the diagrams aboveand in the instruction attached to the adapter. Ifuncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.

Important Notes for S-Video connections:1. Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devicesmust be connected to the AVR, NOT both, normalvideo and S-Video In/Outputs (except the TV, seeitem 2).

2. Like all common AV units the AVR 7000 doesnot convert the Video signal to S-Video. Thusboth connections must be made from the AVR7000 to the TV if both, Video and S-Video sources, are used, and the appropriateinput on the TV must be selected.

1 Also other colours possible, e.g. brown and grey.

18 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System and Power Connections

The AVR 7000 is designed for flexible use withmultiroom systems, external control componentsand power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control ExtensionIf the receiver is placed behind a solid or smokedglass cabinet door, the obstruction may preventthe remote sensor from receiving commands. Inthis event, the remote sensor of any HarmanKardon or other compatible device, not coveredby the door, or an optional remote sensor maybe used. Connect the Remote IR Output ofthat device or the output of the remote sensor tothe Remote IR Input jack c.

If other components are also prevented fromreceiving remote commands, only one sensor isneeded. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remoteeye by running a connection from the RemoteIR Output jack a to the Remote IR Inputjack on Harman Kardon or other compatibleequipment.

NOTE: All remotely controlled components mustbe linked together in a daisy chain. Connect theIR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the nextto establish this chain.

Multiroom IR LinkThe key to remote room operation is to link theremote room to the AVR 7000’s location withwire for an infrared receiver and speakers or anamplifier. The remote room IR receiver (this can bean optional IR receiver or any other remotableHarman Kardon device in the remote room withIR sensor integrated) should be connected to theAVR 7000 via standard coaxial cable. Connect theRemote IR Output of the device or of theoptional sensor with the Multiroom IR Inputjack b on the AVR 7000’s rear panel.

If other Harman Kardon compatible sourceequipment is part of the main room installation,the Remote IR Output jack a on the rearpanel should be connected to the IR IN jack onthat source device. This will enable the remoteroom location to control source equipment func-tions in addition to the remote room input andvolume.

Multiroom Audio/Video ConnectionsDepending on the distance from the AVR 7000to the remote room, two options (A and B) areavailable for audio connection:

A. Use high-quality, shielded stereo audio inter-connect cable with phono plugs on both endsfrom the AVR 7000’s location to the remoteroom. At the remote room, connect the intercon-nect cable to a stereo power amplifier. Theamplifier will be connected to the room’s speak-ers. No volume control is required, as the AVR7000 and the remote IR link will provide thatfunction. At the AVR 7000, plug the audio inter-connect cables into the Multi-Room Outputjacks d on the AVR 7000’s rear panel.

NOTE: The remote power amplifier must have sig-nal sensing capability or be left on constantly toassure automatic operation at the remote room.

B. Place the amplifier that will provide power tothe remote location speakers in the same roomas the AVR 7000, and connect the MultiroomOutput jacks d on the rear panel of the AVRto the audio input of the remote room amplifier.Use the appropriate speaker wire to connect theoptional power amplifier to the remote speakers.High-quality wire of at least 2.5 mm2 is recom-mended for long multiroom connections.

The AVR 7000’s multiroom system is also capa-ble of sending either S-Video or standard com-posite video to the remote room location.Connect the video feeds for the remote locationto the Multiroom Output d video jacks. Notethat standard S-Video cables may not provideacceptable signal quality when used for runslonger than 10 m. Consult your dealer orinstaller for additional cable options for S-Videoapplications. When running longer lengths ofcomposite video cable for multi-room applica-tions, we recommend that dual shield or quadshield RG-6 cable be used.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside wallsshould carry any certification that is required bythe local building and electrical codes. To avoidinterference, audio and speaker cables should notbe parallel to, or run in the same conduits or pathwith, AC cables. If you have any questions aboutmultiroom wiring, consult your dealer, custominstaller or low-voltage electrical contractor.

External Audio Power AmplifierConnectionsIf desired, the AVR 7000 may be connected tooptional, external audio power amplifiers orused with equalizers or speaker systems thatrequire connection between the preamp andamplifier sections of a receiver.

To make these connections, remove the jumpersthat connect the Preamp Out jacks fl andAmplifier In jacks ⁄ for the channels to beused with external devices. Store the jumpers ina safe place so that the AVR may be used in itsnormal mode at a future date, if desired.

When an external amplifier is used, connect thePreamp Out jacks fl to the inputs on theamplifier. When an equalizer or speaker proces-sor is used, connect the Preamp Out jacks flto the inputs of the processor, and connect theoutputs of the processor back to the AmplifierIn jacks ⁄ on the AVR. Note that when externalamplifiers or devices are used, the volume con-trol is still controlled by the AVR, although addi-tional volume controls on the external devicemay impact the volume settings and output lev-els from the AVR.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 19

Installation and Connections

External Audio Decoder ConnectionTo provide for ultimate flexibility, the AVR 7000may be used in conjunction with optional, exter-nal decoders for digital audio systems other thanthe AVR 7000’s own built-in Dolby Digital andDTS decoding system or with DVD players hav-ing those decoders integrated. If an externaldecoder is used, connect the output jacks of thedecoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs £,making sure to match channels.

These jacks may also be used for connections todevices such as DVD players or High DefinitionTelevision (HDTV) sets or decoders that featurebuilt-in digital surround decoders.Although thedigital decoding system in the AVR 7000 will typi-cally provide audio performance that is superior toother decoders, you may use these jacks to providean additional 6-channel input for connection to aDVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoderand discrete 6-channel analog outputs.

AC Power ConnectionsThis unit is equipped with two accessory AC out-lets. They may be used to power accessorydevices, but they should not be used with high-current draw equipment such as power ampli-fiers. The total power draw to each outlet maynot exceed 100 watts.

The Switched ‹ outlets will receive poweronly when the unit is on completely. This is rec-ommended for devices that have no powerswitch or a mechanical power switch that maybe left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into aStandby mode when they are used withswitched outlets, and cannot be fully turned onusing the outlet alone without a remote controlcommand.

The Unswitched ¤ outlet will receive poweras long as the unit is plugged into a powered ACoutlet and the Main Power Switch 1 is on.

Finally, when all connections are complete, plugthe power cord into a nonswitched 220-240-voltAC wall outlet. You’re almost ready to enjoy theAVR 7000!

20 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

System Configuration

When all audio, video and system connectionshave been made, there are a few configurationadjustments that must be made. A few minutesspent to correctly configure and calibrate theunit will greatly add to your listening experience.

Speaker Selection

No matter which type or brand of speakers isused, the same model or brand of speakershould be used for the front-left, center andfront-right speakers. This creates a seamlessfront soundstage and eliminates the possibilityof distracting sonic disturbances that occur whena sound moves across mismatched front-channelspeakers.

Speaker Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannelhome-theater system can have a noticeableimpact on the quality of sound reproduced.

Depending on the type of center-channel speak-er in use and your viewing device, place the cen-ter speaker either directly above or below yourTV, or in the center behind a perforated front-projection screen.

Once the center-channel speaker is installed,position the left-front and right-front speakers sothat they are as far away from one another asthe center-channel speaker is from the preferredlistening position. Ideally, the front-channelspeakers should be placed so that their tweetersare no more than 60cm above or below thetweeter in the center-channel speaker.

They should also be at least 0.5 meter from yourTV set unless the speakers are magneticallyshielded to avoid colourings on the TV screen.

Depending on the specifics of your roomacoustics and the type of speakers in use, youmay find that imaging is improved by moving thefront-left and front-right speakers slightly for-ward of the center-channel speaker. If possible,adjust all front loudspeakers so that they areaimed at ear height when you are seated in thelistening position.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takessome experimentation to find the correct loca-tion for the front speakers in your particularinstallation. Don’t be afraid to move thingsaround until the system sounds correct. Optimizeyour speakers so that audio transitions acrossthe front of the room sound smooth.

Surround speakers should be placed on the sidewalls of the room, at or slightly behind the lis-tening position. The center of the speaker shouldface you.

If side-wall mounting is not practical, the speak-ers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the lis-tening position. The speakers should be no morethan two meters behind the rear of the seatingarea.

Subwoofers produce largely nondirectionalsound, so they may be placed almost anywherein a room. Actual placement should be based onroom size and shape and the type of subwooferused. One method of finding the optimal loca-tion for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it inthe front of the room, about 15cm from a wall,or near the front corner of the room. Anothermethod is to temporarily place the subwoofer inthe spot where you will normally sit, and thenwalk around the room until you find a spotwhere the subwoofer sounds best. Place thesubwoofer in that spot. You should also followthe instructions of the subwoofer’s manufacturer,or you may wish to experiment with the bestlocation for a subwoofer in your listening room.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 21

System Setup

Once the speakers have been placed in the roomand connected, the remaining steps are to pro-gram the system configuration memories. Withthe AVR 7000 two kind of memories are used,those associated individually with the inputselected, e.g. surround modes, and others work-ing independently from any input selected likespeaker output levels, crossover frequencies ordelay times used by the surround sound processor.

You are now ready to power up the AVR 7000 tobegin these final adjustments.

1. Plug the Power Cable › into an unswitchedAC outlet.

2. Press the Main Power Switch 1 in until itlatches and the word “OFF” on the top of theswitch disappears inside the front panel. Notethat the Power Indicator 3 will turn amber,indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3. Install the four supplied AAA batteries in theremote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and(–) polarity indicators that are on the bottom ofthe battery compartment.

4. Turn the AVR 7000 on either by pressing theSystem Power Control 2 or the InputSource Selector ! on the front panel, or viathe remote by pressing the AVR Selector 1 orany of the CD/Tape/ DVD Selectors 2 on theremote. The Power Indicator 3 will turn greento confirm that the unit is on, and theInformation Display Ò will also light up.

Using the On-Screen DisplayWhen making the following adjustments, you mayfind them easier to make via the unit’s on-screendisplay system. These easy-to-read displays giveyou a clear picture of the current status of theunit and facilitate speaker, delay, input or digitalselection you are making.

To view the on-screen displays, make certain youhave made a connection from the Monitor Outjack e on the rear panel to the composite or S-Video input of your TV or projector. In order toview the AVR’s displays, the correct video inputmust be selected on your video display.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the displays ona projection TV it is important that they not be lefton the screen for an extended period of time.Aswith any video display, but particularly with projec-tors, constant display of a static image such asthese menus or video game images may cause theimage to be permanently “burned into” the CRT.This type of damage is not covered by the AVR7000 warranty and may not be covered by the pro-jector TV set’s warranty.

The AVR 7000 has two on-screen display modes,“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making con-figuration adjustments, it is recommended thatthe Full-OSD mode be used. This will place a com-plete status report or option listing on the screen,making it easier to view the available options andmake the settings on the screen. The Semi-OSDmode uses one-line displays only.

Using the full OSD system and the on-screenmenus is usually the easiest way to make adjust-ments, as this method presents the full range ofchoices for each option on the screen. However,note that when the full OSD system is in use, themenu selections are not shown in theInformation Display Ò W. When the fullOSD menu system is used, OSD ON will appear inthe Main Information Display W and theOSD Indicator M will illuminate to remind youthat a video display must be used.

When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunctionwith the discrete configuration buttons, the onscreen display will show a single line of text withthe current menu selection. That selection willalso be shown in the Main Information Display W Note that the horizontal arrow but-tons ‹/› 9� cannot be used with the semi-OSD. Settings must be made by pressing theappropriate discrete configuration button, e.g.Speaker Û� and options be selected, e.g.Center Speaker, with the ‹/› SelectorButtons 5 on the front or ⁄/¤ 6 on theremote, then Set (8 to confirm. Afterwardsthe setting can be made, e.g. Small/Large, withthe ‹/› Selector Buttons 5 on the front or⁄/¤ 6 on the remote and confirmed againwith the Set (8 button.

Selecting the On-Screen displayThe full OSD system is always available by press-ing the OSD button I. When this button ispressed the main AUDIO SETUP menu(Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are madefrom the individual menus. Note that the menuswill remain on the screen for 20 seconds after thelatest action was made on the screen menu, thenthey will “time-out” and disappear from thescreen. The time-out may be increased to as muchas 50 seconds by going to the ADVANCEDSELECT menu, and changing the item titledFULL OSD TIME OUT.

The semi-OSD system is also available as a systemdefault, although it may be turned off by usingthe ADVANCED SELECT menu. (Seepage 35.) With the semi-OSD system, you maymake adjustments directly, by pressing the but-tons on the front panel or remote control for thespecific parameter to be adjusted as outlinedabove.

Figure 1

Settings associated only with Inputselected

The AVR 7000 features an advanced memory sys-tem that enables you to establish different config-urations for the speaker configuration, digitalinput and surround mode for each input source.This flexibility enables you to custom tailor theway in which you listen to each source and havethe AVR 7000 memorize them. This means, forexample, that you may associate different sur-round modes and analog or digital inputs withdifferent sources, or set different speaker configu-rations with the resultant changes to the bassmanagement system. Once these settings aremade, they will automatically be recalled when-ever you select an input.

The default settings for the AVR 7000, as it isshipped from the factory, have all inputs set foran analog source, with stereo as the surroundmode, the front left and right speakers set to“large” (with surround modes other speakers to”small”), and a subwoofer connected. Beforeusing the unit, you will probably want to changethese settings for most inputs so that they areproperly configured to reflect the use of digital oranalog inputs, the type of speakers installed andthe surround mode specifics. Remember, since theAVR 7000’s memory system keeps the settings foreach input separate from the other inputs, youwill need to make these adjustments for eachinput used. However, once they are made, furtheradjustment is only required when system compo-nents are changed.

To make this process as quick and as easy as possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSDsystem with the on-screen menus, and stepthrough each input. Once you have completed thesettings for the first input, many settings may beduplicated for the remaining inputs. It is also agood idea to set the configuration data in theorder these items are listed in the Main Audio

Setup Menu, as some settings require a specificentry in a prior menu item.

The items that follow will describe the individualsettings required for each input. Remember thatonce the settings are made for one input, theymust be made for all other input sources in yoursystem.

Input SetupThe first step in configuring the AVR 7000 is toselect an input. This may be done by pressing thefront panel Input Source Selector ! until thedesired input’s name appears momentarily in theMain Information Display W, and the greenLED lights next to the input’s name in the frontpanel Input Indicators Ó. The input may alsobe selected by pressing the appropriate InputSelector on the remote control 2BCD.

When using the full-OSD system to make thesetup adjustments, press the OSD button Ionce so that the main AUDIO SETUPmenu (Figure 1) appears. Note that the › cursorwill be next to the input setup line. Press the Setbutton 8 to enter the menu and theINPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) willappear on the screen. Press the ‹/› buttons9� until the desired input name appears inthe highlighted video, as well as being indicatedin the front panel Input Indicators Ó by thegreen LED next to the desired input name. If theinput will use the standard left/right analoginputs, no further adjustment is needed.

Figure 2

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputswith the selected input source, press the ¤ but-ton 6 on the remote while the INPUTSETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, andnote that the on-screen cursor will drop down tothe DIGITAL IN line. Press the ‹/› but-tons 9� until the name of the desired digi-tal input name appears. To return to the ANA-LOG input, press the buttons until the wordanalog appears. When the correct input appears,press the ¤ button 6 once so that the › cur-sor appears next RETURN TO MENU,and press the Set button 8 or press the ⁄button 6 until cursor is next to INPUT andselect another input to be configured with the‹/› buttons 9�.

To change the digital input at any time using thediscrete function buttons and the semi-OSD sys-tem, press the Digital Input Select buttonA on the front panel or the remote. Withinfive seconds, make your input selection using theSelector buttons on the front panel 5 or the⁄/¤ buttons 6 on the remote until thedesired digital or analog input is shown in theMain Information Display W and in thelower third of the video display connected to theAVR 7000, then press Set (I. This selectionwill also keep memorized, associated with theinput source selected, until another selection ismade.

Surround SetupOnce the input setup has been completed, thenext step for that input is to set the surroundmode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-round modes are a matter of personal taste, feelfree to select any mode you wish – you maychange it later. However, to make it easier toestablish the initial parameters for the AVR 7000,it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic for most ana-log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connectedto digital sources. In the case of inputs such as aCD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish toset the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferredlistening mode for standard stereo sources,where it is unlikely that surround encoded materi-al will be used. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Musicmode may also be a good choice for stereo-onlysource material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup usingthe full-OSD on-screen menus. From the mainAUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1), press the⁄/¤ button 6 until the › cursor is next to theSURROUND SETUP menu. Press theSet button 8( so that the SURROUNDSETUP menu (Figure 3 or 4) is on the screen.

Figure 3

Figure 4

Since the factory default for all inputs is Stereo,the words SURR OFF will initially appear inhighlighted video (Figure 3) unless another sur-round mode choice was made with the input justselected. To change the surround mode while the› cursor is next to the surround line, press the‹/› buttons 9� until the desired surroundmode’s name appears in the highlighted video.As the modes are changed, a green LED will alsolight next to the mode names in the SurroundMode Indicators ı on the front panel.

Note that the data lines next to the items in thescreen display will show either numbers or aseries of dashes, depending on whether or notthe specific parameter is adjustable. For example,the Center Delay and Night Mode items are onlyadjustable for Dolby Digital, and the Delay Timeis only adjusted for Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic. The Crossover Frequency is adjustable inall modes. Note, also, that Dolby Digital and DTSwill only appear as choices (Figure 4) when adigital input was previously selected. These set-tings for Delay, Crossover Frequency and Nightmode, that are independent from any inputselected, will be described in the next chapter onpage 24.

Speaker SetupThese adjustments tell the AVR 7000 which typeof speakers are in use. This is important as itadjusts the settings that determine which speak-ers receive low frequency (bass) information. Foreach of these settings use the LARGE settingif the speakers for a particular position are tradi-tional full-range loudspeakers that are capableof reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use theSMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limitedsatellite speakers that do not reproduce soundsbelow 100Hz. Note that when “small” front (leftand right) speakers are used, a subwoofer isrequired to reproduce low frequency sounds. Ifyou are in doubt as to which category describesyour speakers, consult the specifications in thespeakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.Remember that the speaker setup must be madeindividually for each input of the AVR 7000.

2. When the SPEAKER SETUP menufirst appears, the on-screen cursor › will be at thetop of the list of speaker positions, pointingtoward the LEFT/RIGHT line, which setsthe configuration for the two front speakers. If youwish to make a change to the front speakers, pressthe ‹/› buttons 9� so that either LARGEor SMALL appears, matching the appropriatedescription from the definitions shown above.

When SMALL is selected, low frequency frontchannel sounds will be sent only to the subwooferoutput. Note that if you choose this option andthere is no subwoofer connected, you will not hearany low frequency sounds from the front channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range outputwill be sent to the front left and front right out-puts, and with all analog surround modes thefront channel low frequency signals will be sent tothe subwoofer output.

Important Note: When a speaker set with twofront satellites and a passive subwoofer is used,connected to the front speaker outputs ª, thefronts must be set for LARGE.

3. When you have completed your selection for thefront channel, press the ¤ button 6 on theremote to move the cursor to CENTER.

4. Press the ‹/› buttons 9� on the remoteto select the option that best describes yourCenter speaker based on the speaker definitionsshown on this page.

When SMALL is selected, low frequency centerchannel sounds will be sent to the Fronts, if theyare set for LARGE and Sub is turned off. WhenSub is on, low frequency center channel soundswill be sent to the subwoofer only.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range outputwill be sent to the center speaker output, andwith analog and digital surround modes NO cen-ter channel signal will be sent to the subwooferoutput.

When NONE is selected, no signal will be sentto the center channel output. The receiver willoperate in a “phantom” center channel modeand center channel information will be sent tothe left and right front channel outputs. Thismode is needed if no Center speaker is used.

5. When you have completed your selection forthe center channel, press the ¤ button 6 onthe remote to change the cursor to SUR-ROUND.

6. Press the ‹/› buttons 9� on the remoteto select the option that best describes the sur-round speakers in your system based on thespeaker definitions shown on this page.

When SMALL is selected, low frequency sur-round channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts,when Sub is turned off, or to the subwoofer out-put when Sub is on. In Pro Logic mode, there isno bass in the surround channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range outputwill be sent to the surround channel outputs(with all analog and digital surround modes),and, except with Hall and Theater modes, NOsurround channel signals will be sent to the sub-woofer output.

When NONE is selected, surround sound infor-mation will be split between the front-left andfront-right outputs. Note that for optimal per-formance when no surround speakers are in use,the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used insteadof Dolby Pro Logic.

7. When you have completed your selection forthe surround channel, press the ¤ button 6 onthe remote to move the cursor to SUBWOOFER.

8. Press the ‹/› buttons 9� on the remoteto select the option that best describes your sys-tem.

Select YES if a subwoofer is connected to yoursystem.

Select NO if a subwoofer is NOT connected toyour system. Note that when no subwoofer isselected, low frequency sounds below 100Hz willbe sent to the front left and front right speakersonly. This option is not available when the front,speakers are set to SMALL.

When a speaker set with two or more satellitesand a subwoofer is used, the front satellites andthe subwoofer must be connected to the frontspeaker outputs ª and the subwoofer must beset for NO.

9. When all speaker selections have been made,press the ¤ button 6 and then the Set button8 to return to main menu.

10. The Speaker Configuration may be changedat any time without using the full-OSD on-screenmenu system by pressing the Speaker Selectbutton on the front panel Û or remote �.Once the button is pressed,FNT SPEAK-ER will appear in both the lower third of thevideo display and the Main InformationDisplay W.

When no indicator appears at a speaker loca-tion, that position is set for “none” or “no”speaker.

Note: These icons are available only when mak-ing setup changes in the semi-OSD mode.

As an example, in Figure 6 below, the left frontand right front speakers are set for “large,” thecenter, left surround (LS) and right surround (RS)speakers are set for small, and a subwoofer isset, as shown by the box with the abbreviation“LFE”, which stands for “low frequency effects”.

Figure 6

Adjustments for Other InputsAfter one input has been adjusted for surroundmode, digital input (if any) and speaker type goback to the INPUT SETUP line on themain AUDIO SETUP menu and enter thesettings for each input that you will use. In mostcases, only the digital input and surround modewill be different from one input to the next, whilethe speaker type will usually be the same andmay be quickly entered by entering the samedata used for the original input.

Settings independent from Inputsselected

After the settings described above are made forall input sources in your system, the followingsettings, made with any input, will be effectivefor all inputs selected.

Again to make these settings the best the fullOSD menu system should be used. From theAUDIO SETUPmenu (Figure 1) move thecursor to the SURROUND SETUP lineand press the Set 8 button to bring up theSourround Setup menu.

Depending on the surround mode selected, youwill now proceed to change either the delay timeor the crossover frequency. For Dolby Digital andDolby Pro Logic, pressing the ⁄/¤ buttons 6will take you to the delay settings, for all othermodes, it will take you to the CrossoverFrequency adjustment.

Delay Settings If Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic is selected, youwill need to adjust the delay time setting. Notethat the delay time is not adjustable for anyother modes.

Important Note: Once the delay time is setwith any input it will be effective with all otherinputs too. Moreover the surround delay timesetting must be made only for either the DolbyPro Logic or the Dolby Digital mode. The othersetting will be set automatically.

Due the different distances between the frontchannel speakers and the listening position com-pared to the surround speakers and the listeningposition, the amount of time it takes for sound toreach your ears from the front or surround speak-ers is different. You may compensate for this dif-ference through the use of the delay settings toadjust the timing for the specific speaker place-ment and acoustic conditions in your listeningroom or home theater.

The factory setting is appropriate for most rooms,but some installations create an uncommon dis-tance between the front and surround speakersthat may cause the arrival of front channelsounds to become disconnected from surroundchannel sounds.

To resynchronize the front and surround chan-nels, follow these steps:

1. Measure the distance from the listening/ view-ing position to the front speakers in meters.

2. Measure the distance from the listening/ view-ing position to the surround speakers.

3. Subtract the distance to the surround speakersfrom the distance to the front speakers and multi-ply the result by 3.

a. When setting the delay time for the DolbyDigital surround modes, the optimal delay timeis the result of that subtraction. For example, ifthe front speakers are 3 m away and the sur-round speakers are 1 m away, the optimaldelay time is figured as (3–1)x3=6. Thus, inthis example, the delay time for Dolby Digitalshould be set at six milliseconds.

b. When setting the delay time for the Pro Logicmode, take the result of the subtraction andadd 15 to obtain the optimal delay time. Forexample, if the front speakers are 3 m awayand the surround speakers are 1 m away, theoptimal delay time is figured as(3–1)x3+15=21. Thus, in this example, the ProLogic delay should be set at twenty millisec-onds.

NOTE: The DTS, Logic 7, Hall and Theater modesuse a fixed, nonadjustable delay time.

The Dolby Digital Mode also includes a separatesetting for the center channel delay mode, sincethe discrete nature of these signals makes thelocation of the center channel speaker more criti-cal. To calculate the delay for the center channel,measure the distance from the preferred listeningposition in the center of the room to both thecenter channel speaker and either the left orright speaker.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustmentis required and the center delay should be set tozero. If the distance to the front speakers isgreater than the distance to the center speaker,you may wish to reposition the speakers by mov-ing the front left and front right speakers closer tothe listening position or the center speaker furtheraway from the listening position.

If repositioning of the speakers is not possible,adjust the center delay time, adding one milli-second of center channel delay for every 30 cmcloser to the listening position the center speakeris than the front speakers. For example, if thefront left and front right speakers are each 3 mfrom the listening position and the center chan-nel speaker is 2.4 m away, the delay is figured as300 cm –240 cm=60 cm, suggesting an optimalcenter delay of 2 milliseconds.

To set the delay time, continue within the mainAUDIO SETUP (Figure 1) menu. If thesystem is not already at that point, press theOSD button I to bring up the main audiosetup menu.To make the delay settings for theDolby Digital mode (this will include the Centerdelay setting, and the surround delay for the ProLogic mode will be set automatically), press theSet 8 button and select any input now that isassociated with a digital input and the DolbyDigital surround mode, then return to the mainmenu. Press the ¤ button 6 and then the Setbutton 8 to bring up the surround setupmenu, now select the Dolby Digital mode, if notso already and then press the ¤ button 6once.

As the Dolby Digital mode is selected, the › cur-sor will stop at the CENTER DELAY line.Press the ‹/› buttons 9� until the desiredfigure appears in the display, using the numbercalculated using the formula shown above. Whenthe CENTER DELAY is entered, press the¤ button 6 once to move to the SURRDELAY line so that the delay for the surroundspeakers may be set. Press the ‹/› buttons9� until the desired figure appears in thedisplay, using the number calculated using theformula shown above for the Dolby Digital sur-round mode (item 3a). When the delay settingsare complete, press the ¤ button 6 once tomove to the next line.

until the desired figure appears in the MainInformation Display W.

Crossover FrequencyThe crossover frequency is the point at which theAVR 7000 divides low frequency, or bass sounds,from the rest of the audio output. This is impor-tant as it enables you to match the performanceof the AVR’s’ bass management system to theprecise characteristics of your speakers and sub-woofer. When a subwoofer is used, this settingdetermines which sounds go to the subwooferand which to your other speakers, that are set for”Small”.

Before entering the data for this setting, you willneed to find out what the crossover point of yoursubwoofer is. This is the number that is the highrange of your subwoofer’s frequency response.Consult the Owner’s Manual for your subwoofer,and look for the frequency response line on thespecifications page. The number at the high endis the figure that should be used for thecrossover point. If your subwoofer has anadjustable crossover, set it for 80Hz, 90Hz or100Hz, and then enter that setting into theAVR 7000.

To set the crossover point, make certain that the› cursor is on the CROSSOVER FREQline. Next, press the ‹/› buttons 9� untilthe desired figure appears on the screen. If thechoices shown do not match the choices avail-able, select the number closest to the requirednumber.

If you do not know the correct crossover point, orare unable to find the information, leave the fac-tory default in effect. If it appears that there is a“hole” in the smoothness of the system’s sound,as evidenced by rough transitions from bass tohigher-range sounds, choose a higher settingthan the default.

For all modes other than Dolby Digital, theSurround Setup is now complete. For the DolbyDigital mode, there is one more adjustment to bemade. Press the ¤ button 6 to go to theNIGHT MODE setting line.

Night Mode SettingsThe Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital thatuses special processing to preserve the dynamicrange and full intelligibility of a movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. This preventsabruptly loud transitions from disturbing others,without reducing the sonic impact of a digitalsource. Note that the Night mode is only avail-able when Dolby Digital signals are played.

To adjust the Night mode setting from the menu,make certain that the › cursor is on the Nightline of the SURROUND SETUP menu.Next, press ‹/› buttons 9� to choosebetween the following settings.

OFF: When OFF is in the highlighted video, theNight mode will not function.

MID: When MID is in the highlighted video, amild compression will be applied.

MAX: When MAX is in the highlighted video, amore severe compression algorithm will beapplied.

We recommend that you select the MID settingas a starting point and change to the MAX set-ting later, if desired.

Note that the Night mode may be adjusteddirectly any time that a Dolby Digital source isplaying by pressing the Night button P. Whenthe button is pressed, the words D-RANGE will appear in the lower third ofthe video screen and in the Main InformationDisplay W. Press the ⁄/¤ button 6 withinthree seconds to select the desired setting, thenpress Set (8 to confirm the setting.

When all settings for the surround setup havebeen made, press the ⁄/¤ buttons 6 so thatthe › cursor is next to RETURN TOMENU, and press the Set button 8 to returnto the main menu.

Output Level AdjustmentOutput level adjustment is a key part of the con-figuration process for any surround sound prod-uct. It is particularly important for a Dolby Digitalreceiver such as the AVR 7000, as correct outputswill ensure that you hear sound tracks with theproper directionality and intensity.

NOTE: Listeners are often confused about theoperation of the surround channels. While someassume that sound should always be comingfrom each speaker, most of the time there will belittle or no sound in the surround channels. Thisis because they are only used when a moviedirector or sound mixer specifically places soundthere to create ambiance, a special effect or tocontinue action from the front of the room tothe rear. When the output levels are properly setit is normal for surround speakers to operate

only occasionally. Artificially increasing the vol-ume to the rear speakers may destroy the illu-sion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-cates the way you hear sound in a movie the-ater or concert hall.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level can beadjusted for each digital and analog surroundmode separately. This allows you to compensatefor level differences between speakers, that mayalso vary with the surround mode selected, or toincrease or decrease the level of certain speakersintentionally, depending on the surround modeselected.

Before beginning the output level adjustmentprocess, make certain that all speaker connec-tions have been properly made. The systemvolume should be turned down at first. Finally,make certain that the Balance Control & isset to the center “12 o’clock” position.

To adjust and calibrate the output levels withhelp of the test tone generator integrated, followthese steps, (the levels can be adjusted also withan external source, without any test tone, seeLevel Trim Adjustment on page 33). For accuratecalibration, it is a good idea to make theseadjustments while seated in your favorite listen-ing position:

Output level adjustment is most easily donethrough the OUTPUT ADJUST menu(Figure 7). If you are already at the main menu,press the ¤ buttons 6 until the on-screen ›cursor is next to the OUTPUT ADJUSTline. If you are not at the main menu, press theOSD button I to bring up the MAINAUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1), and thenpress the ¤ buttons 6 three times so that theon-screen › cursor is next to the Output adjustline. Press the Set button 8 to bring theOUTPUT ADJUST menu (Figure 7) tothe screen.

Figure 7

As soon as the new menu appears, you will heara test noise circulate from speaker to speaker ina clockwise direction around the room. The testnoise will play for two seconds in each speakerbefore circulating, and a blinking on-screen cur-sor will appear next to the name of each speakerlocation when the sound is at that speaker.

turn up the volume until you can hear the noiseclearly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this test noise willhave a much lower level than normal music, thevolume must be lowered after the adjustment forall channels is made, but BEFORE you return tothe main menu and the test tone turns off.

NOTE: This is a good time to verify that thespeakers have been properly connected. As thetest noise circulates, listen to make certain thatthe sound comes from the speaker position indi-cated by the on-screen cursor ›. If the soundfrom a speaker location does NOT match theposition indicated, turn the AVR 7000 off usingthe Main Power Switch 1 and check thespeaker wiring to make certain that each speakeris connected to the correct output terminal.

After checking for speaker placement, let the testnoise circulate again, and listen to see whichchannels sound louder than the others. Using thefront left speaker as a reference, press the ‹/›

buttons 9� on the remote to bring allspeakers to the same volume level. Note thatwhen one of the ‹/› buttons is pushed, the testnoise circulation will pause on the channel beingadjusted to give you time to make the adjust-ment. When you release the button, the circula-tion will resume after five seconds. The on-screencursor › can also be moved directly to thespeaker to be adjusted by pressing the ⁄/¤ but-tons 6 on the remote.

Continue to adjust the individual speakers untilthey all have the same volume. Note that adjust-ments should be made with the ‹/› buttons9� on the remote only, NOT the main vol-ume controls.

NOTE: The subwoofer output level is notadjustable using the test tone. To change thesubwoofer level, follow the steps for OutputLevel Trim Adjustment on page 33.

When all channels have an equal volume level,the adjustment is complete. Lower the Volume*! to about - 40dB, otherwise the listen-ing level will be too high as soon as music startsto play. To exit this menu, press the ⁄/¤ buttons6 until the on-screen › cursor is next to theRETURN TO MENU line, and then pressthe Set button 8 to turn the test tone off andreturn to the main AUDIO SETUP menu.

The output levels may also be adjusted at anytime using the discrete buttons and semi-OSDsystem. To adjust the output levels in this fash-ion, press the Test Tone Selector Ù4. Assoon as the button is pressed, the test tone willbegin to circulate as indicated earlier. The correctchannel from which the test noise should beheard will be shown in the lower third of thevideo screen and in the Main InformationDisplay W. As an added assist, while the testnoise is circulating, the proper channel positionwill also be indicated in the Speaker/ChannelIndicators P by a blinking letter within thecorrect channel. Turn up the Volume *!until you can hear the noise clearly.

To adjust the output level, press the Selectorbuttons on the front panel 5 or the ⁄/¤ but-tons 6 until the desired level is shown in thedisplay or on screen. Once the buttons arereleased, the test noise will begin to circulateagain in five seconds.

When all channels have the same output level,lower the Volume *! to about - 40dB, and press the Test Tone SelectorÙ4 button again to turn the test tone offand complete the process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjust-ment made will be effective for all inputs, butonly for the actual surround mode selected. To beeffective for any other mode select that mode(with any input) and repeat the level adjustmentdescribed above. This will also allow you to com-pensate level differences between speakers, thatmay be different with each surround mode, or toincrease or decrease the level of certain speakersintentionally, depending on the surround modeselected.

Note: Output level adjustment is not availablefor the VMAx or Surround Off mode, as no sur-round speakers are used (so level differencesbetween the speakers in the room cannot occur).But to compensate level differences betweenstereo, VMAx and other surround modes (inde-pendently from the input selected) the outputscan be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustmentprocedure, see page 33, also for the Surround Off(Stereo) and VMAx modes.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pageshave been made, the AVR 7000 is ready for oper-ation. While there are some additional settings tobe made, these are best done after you have hadan opportunity to listen to a variety of sourcesand different kinds of program material. Theseadvanced settings are described in pages 35-38of this manual. In addition, any of the settingsmade in the initial configuration of the unit maybe changed at any time. As you add new or dif-ferent sources or speakers, or if you wish tochange a setting to better reflect your listeningtaste, simply follow the instructions for changingthe settings for that parameter as shown aboveand on pages 35-38. Note that any settingschanged at any time, also when the discrete but-tons are used only, will be stored in memory inthe AVR7000, also if it´s turned off completely,unless it will be reset (see page 51). They willeither depend on the input (Speaker configura-tion, analog/digital input selection, surroundmode) or on the surround mode selected (speak-er output level, delay) or be independent fromany input or surround mode (crossover), asdescribed on former pages.

Having completed the setup and configurationprocess for your AVR 7000, you are about toexperience the finest in music and home theaterlistening. Enjoy!

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the setup and configu-ration of the AVR 7000, it is simple to operateand enjoy. The following instructions should befollowed for you to maximize your enjoyment ofyour new receiver:

• When using the AVR 7000 for the first time, youmust press the Main Power Switch 1 on thefront panel to turn the unit on. This places the unitin a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber colorof the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is inStandby, you may begin a listening session bypressing the System Power Control 2 or theSource button ! on the front panel or the AVRSelector 1∫. Note that the PowerIndicator 3 will turn green. This will turn theunit on and return it to the input source that waslast used. The unit may also be turned on fromStandby by pressing any of the Source Selectorbuttons on the remote 2BCDç.

NOTE: After pressing CD, TAPE or DVD buttons2 to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector1 to have the remote control the AVR functions.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listening ses-sion, simply press the System Power Control2 on the front panel or the Power Off Button3å on the remote. Power will be shut off toany equipment plugged into the rear panelSwitched AC Outlets ‹ and the PowerIndicator 3 will turn amber.

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” itis actually placing the system in a Standby mode,as indicated by the amber color of the PowerIndicator 3.

When you will be away from home for anextended period of time it is always a good ideato completely turn the unit off with the frontpanel Main Power Switch 1.

NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit isleft turned off with the Main Power Switch 1

for more than two weeks.

• To program the AVR 7000 for automatic turn-off, press the Sleep Button " on the remote.Each press of the button will increase the timebefore shut down in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the PresetNumber/Sleep Timer Indicator L and it willcount down until the time has elapsed.

When the programmed sleep time has elapsed,the unit will automatically turn off (to Standbymode). Note that the front panel display will dim

to one half brightness when the Sleep function isprogrammed. To cancel the Sleep function, pressand hold the Sleep Button " until the infor-mation display returns to normal brightness andthe Sleep indicator numbers disappear.

Source Selection

• To select a source, press any of the SourceSelector buttons on the remote2BCDç.

NOTE: After pressing CD, TAPE or DVD buttons2 to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector1 to have the remote control the AVR functions.

• The input source may also be changed bypressing the front-panel Input Source Selectorbutton !. Each press of the button will movethe input selection through the list of availableinputs.

• The front-panel Video 4 Inputs $ may beused to connect a device such as a video gameor camcorder to your home entertainment systemon a temporary basis.

• As the input source is changed, the new inputname will appear momentarily as an on-screendisplay in the lower third of the video display. Theinput name will also appear in the MainInformation Display W and a green LED willlight next to the selected input’s name in thefront-panel Input Indicators Ó.

• As the input is changed, the AVR 7000 willautomatically switch to the digital input, sur-round mode and speaker configuration that wereentered during the configuration process for thatsource.

• When a pure audio source (Tuner, CD, Tape, 6Channel direct inputs) is selected, the last videoinput used remains routed to the Video 1Outputs h and Video Monitor Output e.This permits simultaneous viewing and listeningto different sources.

• When a Video source is selected, its audio signalwill be fed to the speakers and the video signalfor that input will be routed to the appropriateMonitor Output jack e and will be viewable ona TV monitor connected to the AVR 7000. If a com-ponent video input is connected to the DVD ¶ orVideo 2 § component inputs, it will be routed tothe Component Video Output ∞. Make certainthat your TV is set to the proper input to view theappropriate video signal (composite, S-Video orcomponent video, see Notes for S-Video on page17).

Controls and Use of Headphones

• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level usingthe front panel Volume Control * or remoteVolume Up/Down !˙ buttons.

• The Balance Control & may be used toadjust the relative sound output between the leftfront and right front speakers.

• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs pressthe Mute button 5î. This will interrupt theoutput to all speakers and the headphone jack,but it will not affect any recording or dubbingthat may be in progress. When the system ismuted, the MUTE indicator X will light in theInformation Display Ò. Press the Mute but-ton 5î again to return to normal operation.

• During a listening session you may wish toadjust the Bass Control # and TrebleControl ^ to suit your listening tastes or roomacoustics. Note that these controls are not effec-tive with the 6-Channel Direct Input.

• To set the output of the AVR 7000 so that theoutput is “flat,” with the tone controls de-activat-ed, press the Tone Mode button 6 buttononce or twice so that the words Tone Outappear momentarily in the Main InformationDisplay W. To return the tone controls to anactive condition, press the Tone Mode 6 but-ton once or twice so that the words Tone In momentarily appear in the MainInformation Display W.

• For private listening, plug the 6.3 mm stereophone plug from a pair of stereo headphonesinto the front panel Headphone Jack 4. Notethat when the headphone’s plug is connected,the word HEADPHONE will scroll onceacross the Main Information Display W andall speakers will be silenced. When the head-phone plug is removed, the audio feed to thespeakers will be restored.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR 7000 is its ability to reproduce a full multi-channel surround sound field from digitalsources, analog matrix surround encoded pro-grams and standard stereo or even mono pro-grams. In all, a total of ten listening modes areavailable on the AVR 7000.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personaltaste, as well as the type of program source mate-rial being used. For example, motion pictures or TVprograms bearing the logo of one of the majorsurround encoding processes, such as DolbySurround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo†† should beplayed in either the Dolby 3 Stereo, Dolby ProLogic or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes depend-ing on the source material.

MODE FEATURES DELAY TIME RANGE

DOLBY DIGITAL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides Center: 0 ms – 5 msup to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects Initial Setting – 0 mschannel. Surround: 0 ms –15 ms

Initial Setting – 0 ms

DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special Delay time not adjustable DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low frequency channel.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC The standard mode for analog surround sound decoding. It uses information encoded 15 ms – 30 ms in a two channel stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and Initial Setting = 15 msa Mono Surround channel. Use this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo or other “Surround” logos. Surround-encoded programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies, TV and cable programs, radio programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to provide a pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry surround encoding.

DOLBY 3 STEREO Uses the information contained in a surround encoded or two channel stereo program to No surround channels create center channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the rear channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front left and front right channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker but no surround speakers.

THEATER This surround processing uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard movie or Delay time not adjustable stage theater.

HALL 1 and HALL 2 The two Hall modes offer two different matrix surround decoding choices that simulate Delay time not adjustableeither a medium-sized chamber hall (Hall1) or a large concert hall or opera house (Hall 2)

VMAx When only the two front channel loudspeakers are used, Harman’s patented VMAx mode No surround channels delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the center and surround positions.

SURROUND This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left and right No surround channels OFF (STEREO) channel presentation of two channel stereo programs.

LOGIC 7 CLOGIC 7 M

An advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either convention-al stereo material or surround-encoded programs. When used with encoded material, decod-ing is more accurate in terms of the placement of sounds, and fades and pans are muchsmoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. Logic 7 also deliversincreased spaciousness and a wider sound stage when it is used with conventional naturalstereo recordings and music programs throug the use of the natural surround informationpresent also in those stereo recordings. The Logic 7C or Cinema mode is tailored to providean optimal sound field for movie soundtracks. The Logic 7M or Music mode uses a decodingformula that is best suited to music.

Operation

However to create wider, enveloping sound fieldenvironments and more defined pans and fly-overs with all analog stereo and surround record-ings select Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7mode, that creates a stereophonic left and rightrear signal, just as recorded in real life (e.g.sound being recorded from left rear side will beheard from that side only) for a dramaticimprovement in comparison to Dolby Pro Logic.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded withmatrix surround information, it retains the sur-round information as long as the program isbroadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surroundsound may be decoded via any of the analog sur-round modes such as Pro Logic or Logic 7, whenthey are broadcast via conventional TV stations,cable, pay TV and satellite transmission. In addi-tion, a growing number of made-for-televisionprograms, sports broadcasts, radio dramas andmusic CDs are also recorded in surround sound.You may view a list of these programs at the DolbyLaboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.

When a program is not listed as carrying inten-tional surround information, you may find that thePro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo or Logic 7 modes oftendeliver enveloping surround presentations throughthe use of the natural surround information pres-ent in all stereo recordings. However, for purestereo programs without any surround information(e.g. some old ”extreme” stereo recordings) andfor mono programs, we suggest that you try theTheater or Hall modes. And when you use onlytwo front channel speakers you should selectHarman’s patented VMAx mode, delivering a virtu-ally three dimensional sound space with twospeakers only.

Surround modes are selected using either thefront panel controls or the remote. To select asurround mode from the front panel, press theSurround Mode Selector 7 to scroll throughthe list of available modes. To select a surroundmode using the remote, press the SurroundMode Selector , and then press the ⁄ /¤

buttons 6 to change the mode. As you pressthe buttons, the Surround mode name willappear in the Main Information Display W,and an individual mode indicator will also lightup B D G H I J K. As the surroundmodes change, a green LED will light next to thecurrent mode in the Surround ModeIndicators list ı on the front panel.

Note that the Dolby Digital or DTS modes mayonly be selected when a digital input is in use. Inaddition, when a digital source is present, theAVR 7000 will automatically select and switch tothe correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regard-less of the mode that has been previously select-ed. For more information on selecting digitalsources, see the following section of this manual.

To listen to a program in traditional two channelstereo, using the front left and front right speak-ers only (plus the subwoofer if installed and con-figured), follow the instructions shown above forusing the remote until SURR OFF appearsin the Main Information Display W.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over pastsystems such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five dis-crete channels: left front, center, right front, left sur-round and right surround. Each channel reproducesfull frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offersdramatically improved dynamic range and signifi-cant improvements to signal-to-noise ratios. Inaddition, digital systems have the capability todeliver an additional channel that is specificallydevoted to low frequency information. This is the“.1” channel referred to when you see these sys-tems descibed as “5.1”. The bass channel is sepa-rate from the other channels, but since it is inten-tionally bandwidth limited, sound designers havegiven it that unique designation.

Dolby Digital Dolby Digital (originally known asAC-3®) is available on DVD, and specially encodedLD discs and satellite broadcasts and is a part ofthe coming high definition television (HDTV) sys-tem.

Note that an optional, external RF demodulatoris required to use the AVR 7000 to listen to theDolby Digital sound tracks available on laserdiscs. Connect the RF output of the LD player tothe demodulator and then connect the digitaloutput of the demodulator to the Optical orCoaxial inputs °· of the AVR 7000. Nodemodulator is required for use with DVD playersor DTS-encoded laser discs.

DTSDTS is another digital audio system that is capa-ble of delivering 5.1 audio. Although both DTSand Dolby Digital are digital, they use differentmethods of encoding the signals, and thus theyrequire different decoding circuits to convert thedigital signals back to analog.

DTS-encoded sound tracks are available on selectDVD and LD discs, as well as on special audio-only DTS CDs. You may use any LD, DVD or CDplayer equipped with a digital output to playDTS-encoded special audio-only CDs with theAVR 7000, but DTS-LDs can be played on LDplayers and DTS-DVDs on DVD players only. Allthat is required is to connect the player’s outputto either the Optical or Coaxial input on therear panel °·.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTSsound tracks, the DVD player must be compatiblewith the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logoon the player’s front panel. Note that early DVDplayers may not be able to play DTS- encodedDVDs. This does not indicate a problem with theAVR 7000, as some players cannot pass the DTSsignal through to the digital outputs. If you are indoubt as to the capability of your DVD player tohandle DTS DVDs, consult the player’s owner’smanual.

PCM Audio PlaybackPCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non- com-pressed digital audio system used for compactdiscs, Non-Dolby Digital/DTS Laserdiscs and somespecial PCM encoded DVDs. The digital circuits inthe AVR 7000 are capable of high quality digital-to-analog decoding, and they may be connecteddirectly to the digital audio output of yourCD/DVD or LD player (LD only for PCM or DTSprograms, for Dolby Digital laser discs an RFadapter is needed, see above).

Connections may be made to either the Opticalor Coaxial inputs °· on the rear panel.

To listen to a PCM digital source, first select theinput for the desired source (e.g., CD) to feed itsvideo signal (if any) to the TV monitor and toprovide its analog audio signal for recording.Next press the Digital Select button Aand then use the ⁄ /¤ buttons 6 on theremote, or the Selector buttons5 on the frontpanel, until the desired choice appears in theMain Information Display W, then press theSet button (8 to confirm the choice.

When a PCM source is playing, the PCM indica-tor A will light. During PCM playback you mayselect any surround mode except Dolby Digital orDTS. When an HDCD encoded disc is beingplayed (see below) and the CD player is connect-ed to the AVR 7000 via a digital connection,select Surround Off as the Surround mode toenjoy the benefits of the HDCD process.

Playback from PCM sources may also benefitfrom the Logic 7. When playing back a surround-encoded PCM source, such as an LD or surround-encoded CD, use the Logic 7 C or Cinema mode.When playing true stereo recordings, use theLogic 7 M or Music mode for a wider soundstage and increased rear channel ambience.

HDCDHDCD, which stands for High DefinitionCompatible Digital®, is a sophisticated processthat enables the AVR 7000 to deliver outstandingdigital-to-analog decoding of PCM signals fromany DVD or CD player, connected to a digitalinput on the AVR 7000, no matter what type ofCD or DVD is played and even when normal,

Page 30: Manual Usuario Harman Kardon Avr7000

30 OPERATION

Operation

Non-HDCD-compatible players are used (only adigital output is needed).

When a CD with the HDCD logo is played, theAVR 7000 is able to take advantage of the spe-cial recording process that is used in the creationof HDCD disc. The special circuitry enables audiowith extraordinary fidelity, stunning resolutionand the highest possible overall quality.

The AVR 7000 will automatically sense that it isan HDCD recording and the HDCD indicator Awill illuminate on the front panel to remind youthat an HDCD disc is playing.

It is important to note that the HDCD process iscompletely compatible with standard recordings.Indeed, the high-quality digital-to-analog circuitry, that is part of HDCD and the HDCDdecoder chip, replacing the monolithic digital filters used in conventional DACs, will enableenhanced performance also with normal,Non-HDCD encoded program material.

Selecting a Digital SourceTo utilize either digital mode you must haveproperly connected a digital source to theAVR 7000. Connect the digital outputs from DVDplayers, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CDplayers to the Optical or Coaxial inputs on therear panel °·. In order to provide a backupsignal and a source for analog stereo recording,the analog outputs provided on digital sourceequipment should also be connected to theirappropriate inputs on the AVR 7000 rear panel(e.g., connect the analog stereo audio outputfrom a DVD to the DVD inputs j on the rearpanel when you connect the source’s digital out-puts).

When playing a digital source such as DVD, firstselect its analog input (DVD) using the remote orfront-panel controls to feed its video signal tothe TV monitor and to provide its analog audiosignal for recording. Next, select the digital inputconnected with the DVD player by pressing theDigital Input Selector button A andthen using the ⁄/¤ buttons 6 on the remoteor the Selector buttons5 on the front panel tochoose either of the OPTICALor COAXI-AL inputs, as they appear in the MainInformation Display W or on screen display.Press the Set button 8( to enter thedesired choice. Note, that a digital input (e.g.coaxial) remains associated with any analoginput (e.g. DVD) as soon as it was selected, thusthe digital input needs not to be re-selected eachtime the appropriate input choice (e.g. DVD) ismade.

Digital Status IndicatorsWhen a digital source is playing, the AVR 7000senses the type of bitstream data that is present.Using this information, the correct surroundmode will automatically be selected. For exam-ple, DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switchto DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreamswill enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unitsenses PCM data, as is present from CDs and LDsand some music DVDs, the unit will allow theappropriate surround sources to be selectedmanually. Since the range of available surroundmodes depends on the type of digital data that ispresent, the AVR 7000 uses a variety of indica-tors to let you know what type of signal is pres-ent. This will help you to understand the choiceof modes and the input channels recorded on thedisc.

When a digital source is playing, a BitstreamIndicator A will light to show which type ofsignal is playing:

AC-3: When the AC-3* indicator lights, aDolby Digital bitstream is being received.Depending on the audio track selected on thesource player and number of channels on thedisc, different surround modes are possible. Notethat only one channel without subwoofer, called”1.0” audio, or all five channels with subwoofer(”5.1” audio) or all steps between can be record-ed on digitally surround encoded audio tracks(see NOTE below). With all those tracks, except”2.0” audio, only the Dolby Digital and VMAxmodes are available. When the Dolby Digital sig-nal is only two channel (”2.0”) these two chan-nels (l and r) often contain Pro Logic surroundinformations. With those tracks the AVR7000automatically switches to the Pro Logic mode,but you may turn Pro Logic off manually or youmay also select the Vmax mode.

DTS: When the DTS indicator lights, a DTS bit-stream is being received. When the unit sensesthis type of data, only the DTS mode may beused.

PCM: When the PCM indicator lights, a stan-dard Pulse Code Modulation, or PCM, signal isbeing received. This is the type of digital audioused by conventional compact disc and laser discrecordings. When a PCM bitstream is present, allmodes except Dolby Digital and DTS are avail-able. Note that the PCM signal format can beselected on the DVD player with any audio track,even with Dolby Digital tracks. So, if selected,even ”2.0” D.D. audio tracks can be played withall surround modes, also with the most effectiveLogic 7.

HDCD: When the HDCD® indicator lights inconjunction with the PCM indicator, the CD thatis playing is encoded through the special HighDefinition Compatible Digital® process. HDCDdiscs use 20-bit encoding and other proprietaryprocessing to provide the ultimate in CD listening(see page 29). Note that HDCD processing is onlyavailable in the Stereo or Surround Off mode.

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the AVR7000 features a set of unique channel input indi-cators that tell you how many channels of digitalinformation are being received and if the digitalsignal is interrupted.

These indicators are the L/C/R/LS/RS/LFE lettersthat are inside the center boxes of theSpeaker/Channel Input Indicators P in the frontpanel Information Display Ò. When a stan-dard analog stereo or matrix surround signal is inuse, only the “L” and “R” indicators will light, asanalog signals have only left and right channels,respectively, even surround recordings, carryingsurround information on the left and right chan-nels only.

Digital signals, however, may have one to six sep-arate channels, depending on the program mate-rial, the method of transmission and the way inwhich it was encoded. When a digital signal isplaying, the letters in these indicators will light inresponse to the specific signal being received. Itis important to note that although Dolby Digital,for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, notall Dolby Digital DVD or audio tracks selected onDVD or other Dolby Digital programs are encod-ed for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for aDVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to triggeronly 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 otherlanguages. 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 alisting or icon on the back of the disc jacket.When a disc does offer multiple soundtrackchoices you may have to make some adjustmentsto your DVD player (usually with the “AudioSelect” button or in a menu screen on the disc)to send a full 5.1 feed to the AVR 7000 or toselect the appropriate audio track and thus lan-guage (”2.0” audio tracks can be played with allsurround modes, even with Logic 7, see indicator”PCM” left on that page). It is also possible forthe type of signal feed to change during thecourse of a DVD playback. In some cases the pre-views of special material will only be recorded in2.0 audio, while the main feature is available in5.1 audio. As long as your DVD player is set for

Operation

6-channel output, the AVR 7000 will automati-cally sense changes to the bitstream and channelcount and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the Speaker/Channel InputIndicators P also flash to indicate when a bit-stream has been interrupted. This will happenwhen a digital input source is selected before theplayback starts, or when a digital source such asa DVD is put into a Pause mode. The flashingindicators remind you that the playback hasstopped due to the absence of a digital signaland not through any fault of the AVR. This is nor-mal, and the digital playback will resume oncethe playback is started again.

Night Mode A special feature of Dolby Digital isthe Night mode, which enables AC-3 inputsources to be played back with full digital intelli-gibilty while reducing the maximum peak leveland lifting the low levels by 1/4 to 1/3. This pre-vents abruptly loud transitions from disturbingothers without reducing the impact of the digitalsource. The Night mode is available only whenDolby Digital mode is selected.

The Night mode may be engaged when a DolbyDigital DVD is playing by pressing the NightButton P on the remote. Next, press the ⁄/¤

buttons 6 to select either the middle range orfull compression versions of the Night mode. Toturn the Night mode off, press the ⁄/¤ buttons6 until the message in the lower third of thevideo display and the Main InformationDisplay W reads D-Range Off. When the Nightmode is active, the Night Mode Indicator Nwill also illuminate.

The Night mode may also be selected to alwaysbe on at either level of compression using theoptions in the Surround Setup Menu. See page25 for information on using the menus to set thisoption.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:1. When the digital playback source is stopped,or in a pause, fast forward or chapter searchmode, the digital audio data will momentarilystop, and the channel position letters inside theSpeaker/Channel Indicators P will flash.This is normal and does not indicate a problemwith either the AVR 7000 or the source machine.The AVR 7000 will return to digital playback assoon as the data is available and when themachine is in a standard play mode.

2.Although the AVR 7000 will decode virtually allDVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possiblethat some future digital sources may not be com-patible with the AVR 7000.

3. Note that not all digitally encoded programscontain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the pro-gram guide that accompanies the DVD or laserdisc to determine which type of audio has beenrecorded on the disc. The AVR 7000 will auto-matically sense the type of digital surroundencoding used, indicate it in the BitstreamIndicators A and Channel Input IndicatorsP and adjust to accommodate it.

4. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,you normally may not be able to select some ofthe analog surround modes such as Dolby ProLogic, Dolby 3, Stereo, Hall, Theater or Logic 7,except with special audio tracks (see indication”AC-3” above) or data format selected (see”PCM” above).

5. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,it is not possible to make an analog recordingusing the Tape ‚ and VID 1 h record outputs,if the source is connected to any digital input ofthe AVR7000 only. But the analog two channelsignal of that source, the ”Downmix” to Stereoor Dolby Surround, can be recorded by connect-ing its analog audio outputs to the appropriateanalog inputs (e.g. DVD) of the AVR7000, even ifthe digital input of the AVR7000 remains select-ed. Additionally, the digital signals will be passedthrough to the Digital Audio Outputs ‡.

Tuner Operation

The AVR 7000’s tuner is capable of tuning AM,FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations and receiv-ing RDS data. Stations may be tuned manually, orthey may be stored as favorite station presets andrecalled from a 30 position memory.

Station Selection1. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button Don the remote to select the tuner as an input. Thetuner may be selected from the front panel byeither pressing the Input Source Selector !until the tuner is active or by pressing the TunerBand Selector 9 at any time.

• To manually tune through the list of stored pre-set stations one by one, press the PresetStations Selector buttons )M on the frontpanel or remote.

RDS Operation

The AVR 7000 is equipped with RDS (Radio DataSystem), which brings a wide range of informa-tion to FM radio. Now in use in many countries,RDS is a system for transmitting station call signsor network information, a description of stationprogram type, text messages about the station orspecifics of a musical selection, and the correcttime.

As more FM stations become equipped with RDScapabilities, the AVR 7000 will serve as an easy-to-use center for both information and entertain-ment. This section will help you take maximumadvantage of the RDS system.

RDS TuningWhen an FM station is tuned in and it containsRDS data, the RDS Indicator AC will illuminateand the AVR 7000 will automatically display thestation’s call sign or other program service in theMain Information Display W.

RDS Display OptionsThe RDS system is capable of transmitting awide variety of information in addition to the ini-tial station call sign that appears when a stationis first tuned. In normal RDS operation the dis-play will indicate the station name, broadcastnetwork or call letters. Pressing the RDS button@% enables you to cycle through the variousdata types in the following sequence:

• The station’s call letters (with some privatestations other information too).

• The station’s frequency.

• The Program Type (PTY) as shown in the listbelow. The PTY Indicator AB will illuminatewhen this data is being received.

• A “text” message (Radiotext, RT) containingspecial information from the broadcast station.Note that this message may scroll across the dis-play to permit messages longer than the eightpositions in the display. Depending on signalquality, it may take up to 30 seconds for the textmessage to appear; in that time, the wordTEXTwill flash in the Information Display whenRT is selected. The RT Indicator Z will illumi-nate when text data is being received and readyto be displayed.

• The current time of day (CT). Note that it maytake up to two minutes for the time to appear, inthat time the word TIMEwill flash in the infor-mation display when CT is selected. The CTIndicator AA will illuminate when time data isbeing received. Please note that the accuracy ofthe time data is dependent on the radio station,not the AVR 7000.

Some RDS stations may not include some ofthese additional features. If the data required forthe selected mode is not being transmitted, theMain Information Display W will show aNO TYPE,NO TEXTor NO TIMEmes-sage after the individual time out.

In any FM mode the RDS function requires astrong enough signal for proper operation. If youreceive a partial message, or any of the RDS,PTY, CT or RT Indicators AC AB AA Z

going on and off, try slowly adjusting the anten-na or tune to another stronger RDS station.

Program Search (PTY)An important feature of RDS is its capability ofencoding broadcasts with Program Type (PTY)codes that indicate the type of material beingbroadcast. The following list shows the abbrevia-tions used to indicate each PTY, along with anexplanation of the PTY:

3. Press any of the Tuning Up/Down buttons8N, the tuner begins to scan the FM bandupwards or downwards for the first station thathas RDS data that matches the desired selec-tion, and acceptable signal strength for qualityreception.

4. While the PTY Indicator AB flashes in thedisplay, the tuner will make up to one completescan of the entire FM band for the next stationthat matches the desired PTY type and hasacceptable reception quality. If no such station isfound, the display will read NONE for someseconds and the tuner will return to the last FMstation in use before the search.

NOTE: Many stations do not transmit a specificPTY. The display will show NONE, when such astation is selected and PTY is active.

NOTE: Some stations transmit constant trafficinformation. To identify as traffic station, theytransmit a specific traffic code constantly, whichcauses the TA Indicator Y to light in the dis-play. These stations can be found by selectingTRAFFIC, the option in front of NEWS in the list.The AVR 7000 RDS will find the appropriate sta-tion, even if it is not broadcasting traffic informa-tion when the search is made.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video sourceselected for listening through the AVR 7000 issent to the record outputs. This means that anyprogram you are watching or listening to may berecorded simply by placing machines connectedto the outputs for Tape Outputs ‚ or Video 1Outputs h in the record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected tothe Digital Audio Outputs ‡, you are able torecord the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDiscor other digital recording system.

NOTES:• The digital outputs are active only when a digi-tal signal is present, and they do not convert ananalog input to a digital signal, or change theformat of the digital signal. In additon, the digitalrecorder must be compatible with the output sig-nal. For example, the PCM digital input from aCD player may be recorded on a CD-R orMiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals maynot.

• Recording the signal of a Dolby Digital or DTSsource is not possible, if the source is connectedto a digital input of the AVR 7000 only. But theanalog two channel signal of that source can berecorded (see item 5, ”Important Notes onDigital Playback” above).

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 7000 is established using the test tone, asoutlined on page 25. In some cases, however, itmay be desirable to adjust the output levelsusing program material such as a test disc, or aselection you are familiar with. Additionally, theoutput level for the subwoofer and those for theStereo and VMAx modes can only be adjustedusing this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program materi-al, first select the surround mode for which youwant to trim the speakers (see NOTE below), startyour program material source and set the refer-ence volume for the front left and front rightchannels using the Volume Control*!˙.

Once the reference level has been set, press theChannel Select button 7Ú and note thatFRONT L LEV will appear in the MainInformation Display W. To change the level,first press the Set button 8( , and then usethe Selector buttons 5 or the ⁄ /¤ buttons6 to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use thevolume control, as this will alter the referencesetting.

Once the change has been made, press the Setbutton 8( and then press the Selector but-tons 5 or the ⁄/¤ buttons 6 to select thenext output channel location that you wish toadjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press theSelector buttons 5 or the ⁄/¤ buttons 6until WOOFER LEV appears in the MainInformation Display W or on-screen display.(only available if the subwoofer is turned on).

Press the Set button 8( when the name ofthe desired channel appears in the MainInformation Display W and on-screen display,and follow the instructions shown above toadjust the level.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-nels requiring adjustment have been set. Whenall adjustments have been made press the Setbutton 8( twice, the AVR 7000 will returnto normal operation.

The channel output may also be adjusted usingthe full-OSD on-screen menu system. First, setthe volume to a comfortable listening level usingthe Volume Control *!˙. Then, pressthe OSD button I to bring up the mainAUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1). Press the¤ Button 6 until the on-screen › cursor isnext to the CHANNEL ADJUST line.Press the Set Button 8 to activate theCHANNEL ADJUST menu (Figure 8).

Figure 8

Once the menu appears on your video screen,use the ⁄/¤ buttons to move the on-screen ›cursor so that it is next to the channel that youwish to adjust. Then, use the ‹/› buttons9� to raise or lower the output level.

When all adjustments are done, press the ⁄/¤

buttons to move the on-screen › cursor so that itis next to RETURN TO MENU and thenpress the Set Button 8 if you wish to go backto the main menu to make other adjustments. Ifyou have no other adjustments to make, pressthe OSD button I to exit the menu system.

NOTE: The output levels may be separatelytrimmed for each digital and analog surroundmode. If you wish to have different trim levels for aspecific mode, select that mode and then follow theinstructions in the steps shown above.

Changing the levels by the trim adjustment asdescribed above will automatically change thelevel settings in the Output Adjust Menu (Fig. 7,page 25) correspondingly (and vice versa). WithStereo and Vmax modes the adjustment proce-dure described above is the only way to trim theoutput level (e.g. to match the Vmax level withother modes).

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 7000 is equipped for future expansionthrough the use of optional, external adapters forformats that the AVR 7000 may not be capableof processing. When an adapter is connected tothe 6-Channel Direct Input £, you may selectit by pressing the 6-Ch Direct Input SelectorB. The 6-Channel Direct Input may also beselected by pressing the Input Source Selectorbutton ! on the front panel until the words 6CH DIRECT appear in the MainInformation Display W, and a green LEDlights next to 6 CH in the Input Indicators Ó.

Note that when the 6-Channel Direct Input is inuse, you may not select a surround mode, as theexternal decoder determines processing. In addi-tion, there is no signal at the record outputswhen the 6-Channel Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backupsystem that preserves tuner presets and systemconfiguration information if the unit is turned offcompletely accidentally unplugged or subjectedto a power outage. This memory will last forapproximately two weeks, after which time allinformation must be reentered.

ADVANCED FEATURES 35

Advanced Features

The AVR 7000 is equipped with a number ofadvanced features that add extra flexibility tothe unit’s operation. While it is not necessary touse these features to operate the unit, they pro-vide additional options that you may wish touse.

Front Panel Input/Output ConnectionsThe AVR 7000 offers front panel audio/videoinputs that simplify the temporary connection ofportable audio players, video games and cam-corders so that they may be used as inputsources for your system. In addition to the stan-dard left/right audio and composite video, theAVR 7000 also includes an S-Video connection.

However, unlike other products, the front panelconnections on the AVR 7000 may be used asan output as well as an input. This means thatyou may make a simple or temporary connectionto a portable tape, MD or optical disc recorder orto a computer so that it may record the programsource currently playing through the AVR 7000.This is an exclusive Harman Kardon feature.

In normal operation, the front panel Video 4Connections $ are configured as an input.Their use as an input is indicated by the greencolor of the Video 4 Status Indicator %.

To temporarily switch the Video 4 connections toan output, you will need to make an adjustmentin the ADVANCED SELECT menu(Figure 1). To start the adjustment, press theOSD button I to bring the MAINAUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1) to thescreen. Press the ⁄ Button 6, until the on-screen › cursor is next to the ADVANCEDline. Press the Set Button 8 to enter theADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 9).

Figure 9

The default setting for the Video 4 jacks is usedwhen the jacks are used as inputs. To changethem to an output, make certain that the on-screen › cursor is next to the VIDEO 4 line,and press the › button � so that the wordOUT is highlighted in the video display. At thesame time, note that Video 4 StatusIndicator % will turn red, to indicate the out-put status. If you wish to make other adjust-ments in the main menu, press the ⁄/¤ buttons

6 until the on-screen › cursor is next to theRETURN TO MAIN MENU line. If youhave no other adjustments to make, press theOSD button I to exit the menu system.

Once the Video 4 jacks have been switched toan output, the signal currently selected as theAVR 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 thesejacks. When either a digital input or the 6-Channel Direct input is in use, the signal will notbe fed to these jacks.

Switching the front panel jacks to output statusis temporary and it will be cancelled when theAVR 7000 is turned off. When the unit is turnedback on, the jacks will revert to the default sta-tus as an input. To return the front panel jacks toinput use without turning the unit off, use theon-screen menu system as outlined above andswitch the setting so that the word IN is high-lighted on the Video 4 line.

Display BrightnessThe AVR 7000’s front panel InformationDisplay Ò is set at a default brightness levelthat is sufficient for viewing in a normally litroom. However, in some home theater installa-tions, you may wish to occasionally lower thebrightness of the display, or turn it off complete-ly.

To change the display brightness setting for aspecific listening session, you will need to makean adjustment in the ADVANCEDSELECT menu. To start the adjustment,press the OSD button I to bring the mainaudio setup menu to the screen. Press the ⁄/¤

38 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

The AVR 7000 is equipped with a powerfulremote control that will control not only thereceiver’s functions, but also most popular brandsof audio and video equipment, including CDplayers, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes,VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theaterequipment. Once the AVR 7000’s remote is pro-grammed with the codes for the products youown, it is possible to eliminate most otherremotes and replace them with the convenienceof a single, backlit universal remote control.

Programming the Remote with Codes

As shipped from the factory, the remote is fullyprogrammed for all AVR 7000 functions, as well asthose of most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVDplayers, CD players and cassette decks. In addition,by following one of the methods below, you mayprogram the remote to operate a wide range ofdevices from other manufacturers.

Direct Code Entry This method is the easiest way to program yourremote to work with different products.

1. Use the tables in the following pages to deter-mine the three-digit code or codes that matchboth the product type (e.g., VCR, TV), and thespecific brand name. If there is more than onenumber for a brand, make note of the differentchoices.

2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into theAVR 7000 remote.

3. Press and hold both the Input or VideoSelector 2# for the type of product to beentered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button5 at the same time. Hold both buttons untilthe red light under the Selector button2#stays lit. Note that the next step must take placewhile the red light is on, and it must begin within20 seconds after the light illuminates.

4. If the unit you wish to program into the AVR7000 remote has a remotable Power on/off func-tion, follow these steps:

a. Point the AVR 7000’s remote towards the unitto be programmed, and enter the first three-digit code number using the Numeric buttonsG. If the unit being programmed turns off, thecorrect code has been entered. Press the Inputor Video Selector 2# again, and notethat the red light will flash twice before goingdark to confirm the entry.

b. If the product to be programmed does NOTturn off, continue to enter the three-digit codenumbers until the equipment turns off. At thispoint, the correct code has been entered. Pressthe Input or Video Selector 2# againand note that the red light will flash twicebefore going dark to confirm the entry.

5. If the Power function of the unit to be pro-grammed cannot be remoted, follow these steps(max. 20 seconds after step 3 above, or else step3 must be repeated first):

a. Enter the first three-digit code number usingthe Numeric buttons G and press theInput or Selector 2# again. Press theremote button of any transport functionremotable with the unit, e.g. Pause P orPlay fl O. If the unit being programmedstarts that function, the correct code has beenentered.

b. If the unit does not start the function whosebutton was pressed, repeat steps 3 and 5aabove with the next three-digit code numberlisted in the setup code table for that brandand product type, until the unit reacts properlyto the transport function transmitted.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to makecertain that the product operates properly. Keepin mind that many manufacturers use a numberof different combinations of codes, so it is a goodidea to make certain that not only does thePower control work, but that the volume, channeland transport controls work as they should. Iffunctions do not work properly, you may need touse a different remote code.

7. If the unit does not react to any code en-tered, if the code for your product does notappear in the tables in this manual, or if not allfunctions operate properly, try programming theremote with the Auto Search Method.

Note on Using the AVR 7000 remote withthe Harman Kardon CD Recorder CDR2.As shipped from the factory the remote is pro-grammed for controlling Harman Kardon CDplayers. But it is able to control most functionsof the CD Recorder CDR2 (see function list onpage 42) too after the code ”002” is entered tothe CD Selector button 2 as describedabove. For returning to the CD player controlcommands the code ”001” must be entered.

Auto-Search MethodIf the unit you wish to include in the AVR7000’sremote is not listed in the code tables in thismanual or if the code does not seem to operateproperly, you may wish to program the correctcode using the Auto Search method that follows.Note that the Auto Search method works onlywith units whose Power functions can be remot-ed:

1. Turn on the product that you wish to include inthe AVR 7000 remote.

2. Press the Input or Video Selector 2#for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR,TV) and the Mute button 5 at the same time.Hold both buttons until the red light under the

button stays lit. Note that the next step must takeplace while the red light is on, and it must beginwithin 20 seconds after the light illuminates.

3. To find out if the code for your unit is pre-pro-grammed, point the AVR 7000 remote towardsthe unit to be programmed, and press and holdthe Sleep Selector button". This will send outa series of codes from the remote’s built-in database, with each flash of the red light under theInput or Video Selector 2# indicatingthat a code has been sent. When the device to beprogrammed turns off,immediately release theSleep Selector button". Note that it maytake one minute or more until the right code isfound and the unit turns off.

4. When the Sleep button was not released intime after the unit turned off, the right code willbe ”overrun”. That’s why a function test shouldbe made: Turn the unit on again and press theSleep Selector button" once, than theSurround Mode selector once too. Whenthe unit turns off, the right code was found,when not, the code was ”overrun”. To re-find thecorrect code turn on the unit immediately againand, while the Input or Video Selector2# still lights red, press (not hold pressed)the Surround Mode Selector button repeatedly to step backwards through the codesavailable and observe the reaction of the unit ateach press. As soon as the unit turns off the cor-rect code is found.

5. Press the Input or Video Selector 2#again, and note that the red light will flash twicebefore going dark to confirm the entry.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to makecertain that the product operates. Keep in mindthat many manufacturers use a number of differ-ent combinations of codes, and it is a good ideato make certain that not only the Power controlworks, but the volume, channel and transportcontrols, as appropriate. If all functions do notwork properly, you may need to Auto-Search fora different code, or enter a code via the DirectCode Entry method.

Code Readout When the code has been entered using the AutoSearch method, it is always a good idea to findout the exact code so that it may be easily reen-tered if necessary. You may also read the codes toverify which device has been programmed to aspecific Control Selector button.

1. Press and hold both the Input or VideoSelector 2# for the type of product to beentered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button5 at the same time. Hold both buttons untilthe red light under the buttons 2# stay lit.Note that the next step must take place while

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 39

Programming the Remote

the red light is on, and it must begin within 20seconds after the light illuminates.

2. Press the Test Tone button 4. The red lightunder the Input or Video Selector 2# willblink in a sequence that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-second pause between eachdigit. Count the number of blinks between eachpause to determine the digit of the code. One blinkis the number 1, two blinks is the number 2, andso forth. Ten blinks are used to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-secondpause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one-second pause, followed by ten blinks indicatesthat the code has been set to 160.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 7000’s remote has been pro-grammed for the codes of other devices, press theappropriate Input or Video Selector 2# tochange the remote from control over the AVR7000 to the additional product.When you pressany of these buttons, it will briefly flash in red toindicate that you have changed the device beingcontrolled.

When operating a device other than the AVR 7000 RDS, the controls may not correspondexactly to the function printed on the remote or button. Some commands, such as the volumecontrol, are the same as they are with the AVR 7000. Other buttons will change their func-tion so that they correspond to a secondary labelon the remote. For example, the Sleep andSurround Mode selector buttons " alsofunction as the Channel Up/Down button whenoperating most TV sets, VCRs or cable boxes. TheChannel Up/Down indication is printed directly onthe remote. The same is true for standard CDplayer, cassette deck, VCR and DVD functions,which follow the standard function icons printedon top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of aparticular button does not follow the commandprinted on the remote. In order to see whichfunction a button controls, consult the FunctionList tables printed on page 42/43. To use thosetables, first check the type of device being con-trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote

control diagram pictured on page 42. Note thateach button has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button hasfor a specific device, find the button number onthe Function List and then look in the column forthe device you are controlling. For example, but-ton number 22 is the Speaker button for the AVR7000, but it is the “Menu” button for many TVs,VCRs and Satellite receivers. Button number 35 isthe Preset Tune Down button for the AVR 7000,the “Reverse Skip” button for CD players and the“Page Down” button for some cable boxes.

Note that the numbers used to describe the but-ton functions on page 42/43 for the purposes ofdescribing how a button operates are a differentset of numbers than those used in the rest of thismanual to describe the button functions for theAVR.

Notes on Using the AVR 7000 Remote WithOther Devices.• Manufacturers may use different code sets forthe same product category. For that reason, it isimportant that you check to see if the code setyou have entered operates as many controls aspossible. If it appears that only a few functionsoperate, check to see if another code set willwork with more buttons.

• Depending on the brand and product type usedthe functions listed in the Function List tablesmay not correspond with the function the unitreacts on the command. In these cases it’s agood idea to edit the reaction of the unit into thecorresponding line of the table or to set up aseparate list.

• When a button is pressed on the AVR 7000remote, the red light under the Input or VideoSelector 2# for the product being operat-ed should flash briefly. If the Device ControlSelector flashes for some but not all buttons for aparticular product, it does NOT indicate a prob-lem with the remote, but rather that no functionis programmed for the button being pushed.

Learning Codes from a Remote

In addition to using codes from the remote’sinternal code library, the AVR 7000’s remote isable to “learn” codes from remotes that may notbe in the code library. In addition, you may usethis function to “learn over” the codes from apreprogrammed device to add functions notincluded in the preprogrammed codes. To learnor transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR7000’s remote, follow these steps:

1. Place the front of the original remote with thecode being sent so that it is facing the IRTransmitter Window $ on the AVR 7000remote “head-to-head.” The remotes should bebetween 2 and 8 cm apart.

2. Select the button on the remote that you wishto use as the device selector for the codes aboutto be entered. This may be any of theCD/Tape/DVD Input Selectors 2 or theVideo Remote Selectors #.

3. Press the Device Selector button chosen2# and the Set Button 8 at the sametime. Hold these buttons until the ProgramIndicator light 0 turns orange and the redlight under the device selector button turns red.Release the buttons.

4. Within 20 seconds press the button on theAVR 7000 remote that you wish to program.Note that the Program Indicator light 0will begin to flash for six seconds and the redlight under the device selector will go out. Notethat any button on the remote EXCEPT the AVRbutton 1, the CD/Tape/DVD InputSelectors 2 or the Video RemoteSelectors # and the Light button J maybe “taught” a remote code from another remote.The Power On function (if different from thePower Off function, taught to the Power 3button), that normally is associated with theInput Selectors 2#, can be taught to anybutton, that is not charged with any function forthe device selected, e.g. Test 4.

5. As long as the Program Indicator light 0is flashing, press and hold the button on theoriginal remote that you wish to “teach” into theAVR 7000 remote. When the ProgramIndicator light 0 turns green, release thebutton. Note that the Program Indicator will thenbegin to flash orange again.

6. Within five seconds, press the same button onthe source remote again to verify that the remotecode has been learned correctly. The ProgramIndicator light 0 will flash green twice andthen turn to a steady orange color indicating thatthe programming was successful.

NOTE: If the Program Indicator light 0turns red during step 5 or 6, the programmingwas not successful. Repeat the step 3 through 6,but in step 5 hold the button on the originalremote pressed for some seconds after theProgram Indicator light 0 turned green. Ifthe indicator keeps flashing red in steps 5 or 6,this code cannot be taught.

7. Repeat steps 4 though 6 for each button onthe source remote that you wish to transfer tothe AVR 7000 remote.

8. Once all codes have been transferred from theoriginal source remote to the AVR 7000 remote,press and hold the Device Selector button2# for the device being programmed andthe Set Button 8 at the same time until theProgram Indicator light 0 flashes orangetwice. Release the buttons.

40 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for any additionalremotes you wish to “teach” into the AVR 7000Remote.

Erasing Learned Command Codes

The AVR 7000’s remote allows you to remove asingle learned command from within a device’scommand set, to remove all the learned com-mands for a single device, or to remove all thelearned commands that are stored in the remote.Note that all preprogrammed commands willnever be erased.

To remove single learned commands from within asingle device’s settings, do the following:

1. Press the Input or Video Selectors 2#for the device you wish to clear a command fromand the Set Button 8 at the same time. Whenthe Program Indicator light 0 turns orangeand the Device Selector turns red, release the but-tons.

2. Press the button that you would like to erasethe codes for. Note that the Program Indicatorlight 0 will begin to flash continuously and thered light under the Device Selector will turn off.

3. Press the Light Button J and note that theProgram Indicator light 0 will turn green andflash twice and then turn orange again. The redlight under the Device Selector will turn on again.

4. At this point, if you wish to remove the codesfrom any other buttons in this device, repeat steps2 and 3.

5. When you have erased the codes from all but-tons you wish to clear in this device, press andhold the Device Selector 2# and the SetButton 8 at the same time. When the ProgramIndicator turns orange and flashes twice and thered light under the Device Selector goes out, theprocess is complete.

To remove all of the learned commands in a singledevice, do the following:

1. Press the Input or Video Selector 2#for the device you wish to clear and the SetButton 8 at the same time. When the ProgramIndicator light 0 turns orange and the DeviceSelector turns red, release the buttons.

2. Press and hold the Light button J until thered LED under the Device Selector flashes fivetimes. Release the Light Button.

3. Note that the Program Indicator light 0will flash green twice and the red light under theDevice Selector will go out.

4. Then the Program Indicator light 0 willturn to a constant orange color to indicate that allthe learned information in the buttons for theDevice have been erased. At this point the red LEDunder the Device Selector will turn on again.

5. Press and hold the Device Selector and the SetButton 8 at the same time until the ProgramIndicator light 0 flashes orange twice and thered LED under the Device Selector goes out. Thecommands for the device have now been erasedand the process is complete.

To remove ALL of the learned commands thathave previously been entered into the AVR, CD,TAPE, DVD, SAT, TV, VCR and AUX device buttons,do the following:

1. Press and hold the TV Device button # andthe Light Button J at the same time and notethat the Program Indicator light 0 will beginto flash red.

2. The Program Indicator light 0 will flashgreen once, orange once and then turn off.

3. Release the buttons. At this point all of thelearned commands have been erased.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequentlyused combinations of commands with the pressof a single button,the Power button 3 on theAVR’s remote control. Once programmed, a macrowill send out up to eight different remote codes ina pre-determined order enabling you to automatethe process of turning on your system, changingdevices, or other common tasks. Note that onlythose buttons can be used for creating macrosthat are preprogrammed with codes for thedevice selected (corresponding Device Selectorbutton must light up if function button ispressed). The AVR’s remote can store two sepa-rate macro command sequences, one that is asso-ciated with the AVR Selector Button 1 (calledMacro 1 in the following), another associatedwith the SAT Device Selector button #(called Macro 2).

To program a macro into the Power button followthese steps:

1. Press either the AVR1 or the SAT DeviceSelector button # depending on if Macro 1or 2 should be programmed, and the Mutebutton 5 at the same time until the red lightunder the Device Control Selector turns on.

2. Press the Power button 3.

3. Enter up to eight steps for the macro sequenceby pressing the Selector button 12# forthe device to be controlled (needed also for theAVR itself) and then pressing the button for theactual command step. Although the macro maycontain up to eight steps, each button presscounts as a step, including those used to changedevices. The red light under the Selector button1# pressed in step 1 above to select themacro will blink once to confirm each buttonpress as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for PowerOn/Off of the external Video devices SAT, TV, VCRor AUX during a macro sequence, press the Mutebutton 5 (valid for devices with a common but-ton for power on and off, if separate buttons areused, see ”Important Notes” below). DO NOTpress the Power button 3. To turn the AVR7000 on you must press the AVR Selector 1(this will also select the latest input) or any of theDevice Selectors CD, Tape or DVD 2 (thiswill also switch to the CD, Tape or DVD input), toturn it off use the Mute button 5. Your CD orDVD player will be turned on by pressing the corresponding Device Selector button 2, toturn it off use the Mute button 5.

• Remember to press the appropriate DeviceSelectors button 12# before functionsare changed to another device. This is also need-ed for the AVR itself, particulary if it was turnedon by the CD, Tape or DVD 2 Selector ratherthan AVR 1.

4. When all steps have been entered, press theSleep button " to store the commands. Thered light under the Device Selectors 1#pressed in step 1 above will blink twice andthen turn off.

Example: To program your TV, SAT Receiver andthe AVR 7000 to turn on when the Power buttonis pressed, first press and hold down the SAT# (macro 2) and Mute buttons 5 until thered light comes on under the SAT button, thenpress the Power button 3. Next press theSelector button AVR 1 or any of the DeviceSelectors CD, Tape or DVD 2 to turn on theAVR’s power and to select CD, Tape or DVD asinput. Press the TV Device Control Selector# to select the TV mode, and then press theMute button 5, to select TV Power. Finally,press the AUX Device Control Selector #followed by the Mute button 5 to select SATReceiver Power. Press the Sleep button " toenter the commands.

5. To recall any of the two macros available atfirst press either the AVR 1 or CD, TAPE,DVD 2 (for Macro 1) or any of the VideoDevice Selectors # (for Macro 2), dependingon which macro should be sent, then press thePower button 3.

IMPORTANT NOTES:• If a macro was set up with the AVR DeviceSelector 1 (macro 1) the Power button 3cannot be used anymore for turning off the AVRitself or the CD or DVD player. Pressing thePower button 3 after AVR 1 or CD, TAPE,DVD 2 was selected as device will always playthe macro programmed. The same applies to thepower on/off function of the SAT, TV, VCR or Auxvideo device, if a macro was set up with the SATDevice Selector # (macro 2).

Programming the Remote

Page 41: Manual Usuario Harman Kardon Avr7000

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 41

Programming the Remote

• If a macro is to turn on the AVR 7000, it shouldbe programmed on the SAT Device Selector# (macro 2) only. Macro 1 should be selectedonly if the AVR is turned on already, otherwisepressing the AVR Device Selector 1 wouldturn on the AVR immediately rather than selectingthe macro associated with the AVR Selector1 (macro 1).

• Due to the limitations mentioned above we recommend to program Macro 2 for turning allunits on and engaging other functions and Macro1 to turn all devices off only.

To remove a macro program, follow steps 1, 2and 4 above, but ignore step three. For example,to erase macro 1, press the AVR DeviceSelector 1 and the Mute button 5 at thesame time until the red light under the DeviceControl Selector turns on. Press the Powerbutton 3 and then press the Sleep button". The red light under the Device ControlSelector 1 will blink twice to confirm the dataentry and then turn off.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 7000’s remote may be programmed tooperate the Volume Control ! and the Mute5 from either the TV or the AVR in conjunctionwith any of the six devices controlled by theremote. For example, since the AVR 7000 will like-ly be used as the sound system for TV viewing,you may wish to have the AVR’s volume activatedalthough the remote is set to run the TV.

To program the remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input or Video Device Selector2# for the unit you wish to have associatedwith the volume control and the Mute button 5at the same time until the red light illuminatesunder the Device Selector.

2. Press the Volume Up button !.

3. Press either the AVR 1 or the TV DeviceControl Selector #, depending on which sys-tem’s volume control you wish to have attachedfor the punch-through mode. Note that the redlight under the Device Control Selector #will blink twice and then go out to confirm thedata entry.

Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti-vated even though the remote is set to controlthe TV, first press the TV Device ControlSelector # and the Mute button 5 at thesame time. Next, press the Volume Up button!, followed by the AVR Device ControlSelector 1.

NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote tothe original configuration after entering a VolumePunch-Through, you will need to repeat the stepsshown above. However, press the same DeviceControl Selector in steps one and three.

Reassigning Device-Control Selectors

Although any of the Input or Video DeviceSelectors 2# is normally assigned to thecategory of product shown on the remote, it ispossible to reassign one of these buttons to oper-ate a second device of another type. For example,if you have two VCRs but no cable box receiver,you may program the AUX button # to operatea second VCR. Before following the normal pro-gramming steps for either Three-Digit entry orAuto Search code entry, you must first reassign thebutton with the following steps:

1. Press the Input or Video Device Selector2# you wish to reassign and the Mutebutton 5 at the same time until the red lightilluminates under the Device Control Selector#.

2. Press the Input or Video Device Selector2# for the function you wish to program intothe reassigned button.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the specificmodel you wish the reassigned button to oper-ate.

4. Press the same Input or Video DeviceSelector 2# pressed in Step 1 once again tostore the selection.

Example: To use the AUX button to operate asecond VCR, first press the AUX Device ControlSelector # and the Mute button 5 at thesame time until the red light glows under the AUXbutton. Press the VCR button #, followed bythe three-digit code for the specific model youwish to control. Finally, press the AUX button #again.

50 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Troubleshooting Guide

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s operation or thedisplays seem abnormal, the cause may involvethe erratic operation of the system’s memory ormicroprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the unit fromthe AC wall outlet and wait at least three min-utes. After the pause, reconnect the AC powercord and check the unit’s operation. If the systemstill malfunctions, a system reset may clear theproblem.

To clear the AVR 7000’s entire system memoryincluding tuner presets, output level settings,delay times and speaker configuration data, firstput the unit in Standby by pressing the SystemPower Control button 2. Next, press and holdthe Tone Mode 6 and the RDS @ buttons forthree seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and displaythe RESET message in the MainInformation Display W. Note that once youhave cleared the memory in this manner, it is nec-essary to re-establish all system configurationsettings and tuner presets.

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase anyconfiguration settings you have made for speak-ers, output levels, surround modes, digital inputassignments as well as the tuner presets. After areset the unit will be returned to the factory pre-sets, and all settings for these items must bereentered.

If the system is still operating incorrectly, theremay have been an electronic discharge or severeAC line interference that has corrupted the mem-ory or microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem, consultan authorized Harman Kardon service depot.
