Harman-Kardon 347 owner manual Input Setup

System Configuration

The factory default settings for the AVR 347 have all inputs configured for an analog audio input except for the DVD input, where the Coaxial Digital Input ￿ is the default and the Video 2 input, where the Optical Digital Audio Input ￿ is the default. Once the DSP processing system is used for the first time for any input, the speaker settings will automatically default to “Small” at all positions with the sub- woofer set to “Sub (LFE)” The default setting for the surround modes is Logic 7 Music, although Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be select- ed as appropriate when a source with digital encoding is in use.

Before using the unit, you will probably want to change the settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digi- tal or analog inputs and the surround mode associated with the input. Remember that since the AVR memorizes the settings for each input individually, you will need to make these adjust- ments for each input used. However, once they are made, further adjustment is only required when system components are changed.

To make this process as quick and as easy as possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the on-screen menus, and step through each input.

It is recommended that you record your settings for each input using the work-sheets in the appendix to this manual, in the event there is a power loss or if you need to reenter the settings for some other reason.

The OSD system consists of six main menus: Input Setup, Surround Setup, Speaker Setup, Multiroom Setup, Video Setup and System Setup. Navigation tabs for each menu appear on the left side of the screen. When you first press the OSD Button L, the Input Setup menu will be visible (see Figure 1), since its tab is at the top of the screen. However, you must press the Set Button F to select the Input Setup menu so that you can make any necessary adjustments. If you wish to select another menu, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons D to highlight the tab for the desired menu, and press the Set Button F to select it.

When you first select a menu, the first setting line will be highlighted (see Figure 2).

Figure 2

If you wish to change that setting, press the Set Button F. Although the setting name will remain highlighted, the value will appear in blue type with arrows to the right, indicating that you may use the ‹ / › Buttons E to scroll through the available values. See Figure 3. When the desired value appears, press the Set Button F to select it.

Use the ⁄/¤ Buttons D to navigate to other settings within the menu. When you have finished making all adjustments in that menu, press the ‹ Button E to return to the naviga- tion tabs, and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons D to select the tab for another menu.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR is to select an input, i.e. to associate an analog or digital input with each input source in use, e.g. CD or DVD. Note that once an input is selected, all settings for the Digital Input, will ”attach” themselves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory. This means that once made, the selection of an input will automatically recall those settings. For that reason, the procedures described below must be repeated for each input source so that you have the opportunity to custom tailor each source to your specific listening requirements. However, once made they need not be changed again unless you need to alter a setting.

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD button L once so that the INPUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the Set Button F once to highlight the Source-line. Press the Set Button F again, followed by the ‹/› buttons E until the desired input name appears in blue text. If the input will use the standard left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment is needed.

The AVR offers you the option of renaming each input (except tuner) as it appears in the on- screen and front panel messages. This is helpful if you have more than one VCR, if you wish to associate a specific product brand name with the input, or to simply enter any name that will help you to remember which source is being selected.

To change the input name, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D on the remote so that the Title-line is highlighted in blue. The screen shown in Figure 4 will appear. Use the Navigation Buttons DE to highlight the desired letter (or other character), and press the Set Button F to add it to the new title, which will be displayed in the bar at the top of the screen. You may use the Navigation Buttons DE to move the cursor within the new title. To add a space either move the cursor one character to the right as described above, or highlight the SPACE indicator on screen and press the Set Button F.
