Unless you will not be using the AVR for an extended period of time, leave the Main Power switch set to “On.” When the Main Power switch is turned off, any settings you have programmed will be preserved for up to four weeks.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the PROTECT message ever appears in the Message display, turn off the AVR and unplug it. Check all speaker wires for a short circuit (“+” and “–” wires touching). If none is found, bring the unit to an authorized Harman Kardon service center for inspection and repair before using it again.

Using the On-Screen Menu System

Although it’s possible to configure the AVR using only the remote and the front-panel Message display, it is easier to use the on-screen menu system.

To access the menu system, press the OSD button on the remote. The Master menu will appear.

SYSTEM SETUP

The Master menu consists of five submenus: Input Setup, Surround Mode, EzSet/EQ, Manual Setup and System Setup.

Use the Up/Down/Left/Right buttons on the remote to navigate the menu system, and press the OK button to select a menu or setting line, or to enter a new setting.

The current menu, setting line or setting will appear in the front-panel Message display, as well as on screen.

To return to the previous menu, navigate to the “Back to Master Menu” line and press the OK button. To exit the menu system, press the OSD button.

Most users should follow the instructions in this Set Up the AVR section to configure a basic home theater system. You may return to these menus at any time to make additional adjustments, such as those described in the Advanced Functions section, on pages 20 through 24.

Before you begin initial setup, all loudspeakers, a video display and all source devices should be connected to the AVR. You should be able to turn on the AVR and view the Master menu when you press the OSD button. If necessary, reread the Making Connections section and the beginning of this section before continuing.

Configure the AVR for Your Speakers

NOTE: If there are fewer than five main speakers in your system, do not use the EzSet/EQ process. Instead, proceed as described in Manual Speaker Setup, on page 21.

1. Plug the supplied EzSet/EQ microphone into the AVR’s Headphone connector.
