Harman-Kardon AVR 160 Headphones, Source Selection, Using the Radio, RDS Operation, English

Headphones

Plug the 1/4" (6,3 mm) plug on a pair of headphones into the jack behind the front-panel door for private listening. The default Headphone bypass mode delivers a conventional 2-channel signal to the headphones.

Press the Surround Modes Button on the front panel or the remote, to switch to Harman Headphone virtual surround processing, which emulates a 5.1-channel speaker system. No other surround modes are available for the headphones.

Source Selection

•• Use the front-panel KL Source Buttons to scroll through the sources.

•• Using the on-screen menus, press the OSD Button, highlight “INPUT SETUP” and press the OK Button. Use the M N Buttons to select a source.

•• For direct access to any source, press its Source Selector on the remote.

The AVR selects the audio and video inputs assigned to the source, and any other settings made during setup.

The source name, the audio and video inputs assigned to the source, and the surround mode will appear on the front panel. The source name and surround mode will also appear on screen.

VIDEO TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:

If there is no picture:

•• Check the source selection and video input assignment.

•• Check the wires for a loose or incorrect connection.

•• Check the video input selection on the display device (TV).

Additional Tips for HDMI Connections:

•• Turn off all devices (including the TV, AVR and any source components).

•• Unplug the HDMI cables, starting with the cable between the TV and AVR, and continuing with the cables between the AVR and each source device.

•• Carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the AVR. Connect the cable from the AVR to the TV last.

•• Turn on the devices in this order: TV, AVR, source devices.

OPERATION

Using the Radio

To select the AVR 160’s built-in radio:

1.Use the front-panel KL Buttons to scroll to the desired tuner band.

2.Press the Radio Source Selector on the remote. Press it again to switch bands.

Use the KL Buttons or the Channel Control to tune a station, as displayed on the front panel and on screen.

The AVR defaults to automatic tuning, meaning each press of the KL Buttons scans through all frequencies until a station with acceptable signal strength is found. To switch to manual tuning, in which each press of the KL Buttons steps through a single frequency increment (0.05MHz for FM, or 10kHz for AM), press the Menu Button. The Mode line will display the current setting. Each press of the OK Button toggles between automatic and manual tuning modes.

When an FM station has been tuned, toggling the tuning mode also switches between stereo and monaural play, which may improve reception of weaker stations.

A total of 30 stations (AM and FM together) may be stored as presets. When the desired station has been tuned, press the OK Button, and two dashes will flash. Use the Numeric Keys to enter the desired preset number.

To tune a preset station: Press the Preset KL Buttons or enter the preset number using the Numeric Keys.

RDS Operation

The AVR 160 is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a wide range of information to FM radio. Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or network information, a description of station program type, text messages about the station or specifics of a musical selection, and the correct time.

As more FM stations become equipped with RDS capabilities, the AVR will serve as an easy-to-use center for both information and entertainment. This section will help you take maximum advantage of the RDS system.

RDS Tuning

When an FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data, the AVR will automatically display the station’s call sign or other program service in the Message Display.
