Harman-Kardon 13828 System Configuration, First Turn On, Settings to be Made With Each Input Used

System Configuration

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configuration memories. With the AVR two kind of memories are used, those associated individually with the input selected, e.g. surround modes, and others working independently from any input selected like speaker output levels, or delay times used by the surround sound processor.

First Turn On

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

1.	Plug the Power Cable	into an un-
switched AC outlet.
2.	Press the Main Power Switch		in until it

latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the Power Indicator 2 will turn orange, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3.Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. If left in place, the film may affect the performance of your remote control.

4.Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on the bottom of the battery compartment.

5.Turn the AVR on either by pressing the System Power Control 1 or the Input Source Selector A on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing the AVR Selector

or any of the Input Selectors 5 on the remote. The Power Indicator 2 will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main Information Display F will also light up.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector buttons 5 to turn the unit on, press the AVR

Selector to have the remote control the AVR functions.

Instructions for users on removal and disposal of used batteries.

Specification of included battery types.

These symbols shown on the product, the packaging or in the manual or separate infor- mation sheet mean that the product itself, as well as the batteries included or built into the product, should never be thrown away with general household waste. Take them to appli- cable collection points, where proper treat- ment, recycling and recovery takes place, in accordance with national or local legislation, or European Directives 2002/96/EC and 2006/66/EC.

Correct handling of the product and batteries to be disposed helps saving resources and prevents possible negative effects on the environment or human health.

The batteries included with your equipment may be Alkaline, Carbon Zink/Manganese or Lithium (button cells) type. All types should be disposed of according to the above instructions.

To remove the batteries from your equipment or remote control, reverse the procedure described for inserting batteries in the Owners Manual.

For products with a built-in battery that lasts for the lifetime of the product, removal may not be possible for the user. In this case, recy- cling or recovery centers handle the disman- tling of the product and the removal of the battery. If, for any reason, it becomes neces- sary to replace such a battery, this procedure must be performed by authorized service cen- ters.

Settings to be Made With Each Input Used

The AVR features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different settings for the speaker configuration, digital input, sur- round mode, delay times and output levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you to custom tailor the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR memorize them. This means, for example, that you may associate different surround modes and analog or digital inputs with different sources, or set different speaker configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management system or the use of the Center speaker. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select an input.

The default settings for the AVR, as it is shipped from the factory, have all inputs set for an analog source (except for the DVD input, which has the Coaxial Digital Input 1 as the default), with Logic 7 Music as the surround mode, all speaker positions set to "small", and a subwoofer connected. Before using the unit, you will probably want to change these settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed and the surround mode associated with the input.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR is to select an input. This may be done by pressing the front panel Input Source Selector A until the desired input’s name appears in the Main Information Display F, and Indicator will illuminate next to the input’s name in the front panel Input Indicators J. The input may also be selected by pressing the appropriate Input Selector on the remote control 5 .

The second step is to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source (if this is needed, otherwise the selected analog input will remain). Press the Digital Input Select button

on the remote. Within five seconds, make your input selection using the K/L buttons on the remote until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Main Informa- tion Display F. Then press the OK button

Ato enter the new digital input assignment.

After the setting has been made with one input, repeat as described above with all inputs in use. The digital input associated with the input selected can also be changed at any time later and the AVR’s memory system will keep the set- tings until they are changed again.
