Operation

rect button while entering a direct frequency, press the Clear Button 34 to start over.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switch- ing to Mono mode by pressing the FM Mode Button ^s until the STEREO indicator

Vgoes out.

Preset Tuning

Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the AVR 520’s memory for easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote.

To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then:

1.Press the Memory Button 35 on the remote. Note that the MEMORY Indicator U will be illuminated and flash in the Main Information Display ˜.

2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys r corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the preset number will appear in the Preset Number/Sleep Timer display R.

3.Repeat the process after tuning any addition- al stations to be preset.

Recalling Preset Stations

To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys r that correspond to the desired station’s memory location.

To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Preset Stations Selector Buttons # 33 © on the front panel or remote.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR 520 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines con- nected to the outputs for Tape Outputs ¢ or Video 1 or 2 Outputs gi33 37 in the record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Digital Audio Outputs 35 , you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

Front Panel Connections

In addition to the rear panel digital outputs, the AVR 520 offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive con- figurable front panel output jack feature. For easy connection of portable devices, you may switch the front panel Digital Coax Jack Ó or the Video 4 Jacks Ô from an input to an output by following these steps:

1.Press the OSD Button v to view the MASTER MENU (Figure 1).

2.Press the Set Button p to enter the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2).

3.Press the ¤ Button n so that the on- screen cursor is next to VIDEO 4 or COAXIAL 3 depending on which input you wish to change to an output. Either input, or both may be changed at any time.

4.Press the Set Button p and then press either of the /Buttons o/ 37 so that the word IN is highlighted.

5.Press the Set Button p to enter the change.

6.Press the OSD Button v to exit the menus and return to normal operation.

Note that once the setting is made, the appro- priate Input/Output Status Indicator ( will turn red, indicating that the selected ana- log or digital jacks are now an output, instead of in the default setting as an input. Once changed to an output, the setting will remain as long as the AVR 520 is turned on, unless the setting is changed in the OSD menu system, as described above. Note, however, that once the AVR 520 is turned off, the setting is cancelled. When the unit is turned on again, the front panel jacks will return to their normal default setting as an input. If you wish to use their jacks as an output at a future time, the setting must be changed again using the OSD menu system, as described above.

NOTES:

The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and they do not con- vert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must be com- patible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 520 is established using the test tone, as out- lined on pages 23 and 24. In some cases, how- ever, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first set the reference volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control ı 40 î.

If you are using a disc with test signals or an external signal generator as the source from which to trim the output levels, you may use the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this purpose, press and quickly release the SPL Indicator Select 41 to activate the sensor. While the test tone is circulating, the Program/SPL Indicator c will change color to indicate the level. Adjust the level as shown above until the LED lights green for all chan- nels. When it is red the level is too high; when it is amber the level is too low. Press the SPL

41 to turn the sensor and

Once the reference level has been set, press the Channel Select button and note that FRONT L LEV will appear in the Main Information Display Y. To change the level, first press the Set Button p@, and then use the Selector Buttons 7$ or the / ¤ Buttons n to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the volume control, as this will alter the reference setting.

Once the change has been made, press the Set Button p@ and then press the Selector Buttons 7$ or the / ¤ buttons n to select the next output channel location that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press the Selector Buttons 7$ or the

/ ¤ Buttons nuntil WOOFER LEV appears in the Main Information Display Y or on-screen display.

Press the Set Button p@ when the name of the desired channel appears in the Main
