ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Processor Reset

There may be instances when you wish to fully reset the AVR 354 to its factory defaults, or the unit may behave erratically after a power surge.

To correct erratic behavior, first try turning the Master Power Switch off and unplugging the AC power cord for at least three minutes. Plug the cord back in and turn the receiver back on. If this doesn’t help, try a system reset.

NOTES:

•A system reset erases all user configurations, including video resolution, speaker and level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, you will need to reenter all of these settings.

•The RS-232 Reset Button on the rear panel of the AVR 354 does not perform a system reset. DO NOT press the RS-232 Reset Button.

To reset the AVR 354, place the receiver in Standby mode (press the front-panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber). Then press and hold the front-panel OK Button for at least five seconds until the RESET message appears in the display.

Follow the directions in the note on page 34 to restore the picture if necessary.

If the receiver still does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance. Authorized service centers may be located by visiting the Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Memory

If the AVR 354 is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain user settings for up to four weeks.
