Operation
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the out- puts for Tape Outputs or Video 1 Outputs
in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to any of the Digital Audio Outputs , you are able to record the digital signal using a
Front Panel In/Outputs
In addition to the rear panel digital outputs, the AVR offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive config- urable front panel output jack feature. For easy connection of portable devices, you may switch the front panel Digital Coax 4 jack Ó or the Video 4 jack Ô from an input to an output by following these steps:
1.Press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV Receiver and then press the Menu Button A or press the OSD Button E to view the MASTER MENU (Figure 1).
2.Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to enter the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2).
3.Press the ¤ Navigation Button DF so that the
4.Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q and then press the ‹ / › Navigation Button DF so that the word OUT is highlighted.
5.Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to enter the change.
6.Press the Menu Button A or press the OSD Button E to exit the menus and return to normal operation.
Note that once the setting is made, the appropri- ate Input/Output Status Indicator ( will turn red, indicating that the selected analog 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 is turned on, unless the setting is changed in the OSD menu system, as described above. Note, however, that once the AVR is turned off, the set- ting 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 the 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 convert an ana- log input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal (e.g. Dolby Digital to PCM or vice versa, but coaxial digital signals are converted to optical signals and vice versa). In additon, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital output from a CD player may be recorded on a
•To make an analog recording from a digital source is possible, but only from a PCM source (not Dolby Digital or DTS) and correctly only with "Surround Off" mode (with any Surround mode only the L/R front signals will be fed to the record outputs).
Output Level Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the
AVR is established using EzSet/EQ II, as outlined on page 31. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using pro- gram material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer and those for the Stereo modes can only be adjusted using this procedure. Note that all adjustments made with any input will be effective with all inputs selected, just as it is the case with the adjustment using the test tone.
To adjust the output levels using program materi- al, first select the surround mode for which you want to trim the speakers (see NOTE below), start your program material source and set the reference volume for the front left and front right
channels using the Volume Control | I. |
Press the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30 remote and then press the Screen Button 6 next to AV RECEIVER. Next, press the Screen Button 6 next to SETUP MENU and after the choices in the LCD Screen 7 change, press the Screen Button 6 next to CHANNEL and FRONT L LEVEL will appear in the Lower Display Line ˜. To change the level, first press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q, and then use the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button DF 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 OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q and then press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button DF to select the next
Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan- nels requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjustments have been made and no further adjustments are made for five seconds, the AVR will return to normal operation.
EzSet/EQ II Operation
A major advantage of EzSet/EQ II over competitive systems is its ability to store up to three different EQ Designs. This allows you to preset different combinations of speakers or manually set adjustments, or perhaps create different EQ Designs with the microphone in different locations to optimize the system for either your favorite listening position, or for a different setting when more people are in the listening room. You may also turn off the EzSet/EQ II system entirely so that you may compare the sound of your system with the system in a particular EQ Design, or with it out of the system.
