Front-Panel Dimmer: This control sets the brightness of the AVR’s front-panel message display. Select from 100%, 50%, 25% or Off. The light inside the Volume Control will go out when the display is partly or fully dimmed, but the Power Indicator will always remain lit to remind you that the AVR is powered on.
HDMI Settings
HDMI Audio to TV: This setting determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed through the HDMI Monitor Out connector to the video display. In normal operation, leave this setting at Off, as audio will be played through the AVR. To use the TV by itself, without the home theater system, turn this setting to On. In this case you will need to mute the TV’s speakers (or switch the setting to Off) when using the AVR for audio.
HDMI Control: This setting allows the communication of control information among the HDMI devices in your system. Turn this setting to On to allow control communication between the HDMI devices; turn the setting to Off to forbid control communication. (For AVR 3700/AVR 370 select HDMI Out 1, HDMI Out 2 or Off.)
Audio Return Channel: Selecting “Auto” will send audio from the TV to the AVR via the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection (which is in the HDMI cable connecting the AVR to the TV). The TV source’s “Audio Input from Source” will be automatically reassigned to the HDMI ARC connector. This way, whenever you’re watching a source that is connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection), you can listen to the sound through the AVR.
CEC Power Control: This setting links the power on/off functions of the AVR to those of a TV connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When Power Control is set to On, turning the TV’s power off will automatically put the AVR into the Standby mode; turning the TV’s power on will automatically turn the AVR on. NOTE: The connected TV must support the HDMI System Standby CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
TV Control: This setting extends some audio-control functions between the AVR and a TV connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When TV Control is set to On, if the TV is set to use external speakers, the TV’s internal speakers will mute, and you can use the TV’s remote to control the AVR’s volume up/down and mute functions. If the TV is set to use its internal speakers, the AVR’s output will automatically mute. NOTE: The connected TV must support the HDMI Remote Control/System Audio Control CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
General AVR Settings
Network Settings: Select this to set up your AVR for connection to your wired home
network. Note: The AVR 3700 and AVR 370 will first present a Wired/Wireless/Network Upgrade screen. For information about the Wired Network connection screen, see Set Up the Network, on page 27.

ssMac: This line is informational only and identifies the AVR to other devices on your home network and the Internet for www.radioharmankardon.com.
ssNetwork Settings: Since most networks use automatic IP address settings, in most cases you can set Network Settings to Automatic. If you are required to use a static IP address and network settings, you must obtain these settings from your ISP or network administrator. Use the OK button to set this line to “Manual.” The following settings will become active: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS. If your network is a proxy network, enter those settings for Proxy, the second IP Address and Proxy Port.
Use the Number buttons to make the entries for all of these settings. When you have finished, select Apply & Save, and press the OK button. The AVR will enter the Standby mode. When you turn the AVR back on, it will attempt to connect to the network using the settings you entered. If the AVR cannot connect to the network using the manual settings, contact your ISP or network administrator for assistance.
ssNetwork Status: This line indicates the AVR’s current network-connection status (Connected/Not Connected).
ssApply & Save: Any time you make a change in any of the Network settings, the Apply & Save line will become available. Select this line and press the OK button. The AVR will go into the Standby mode. After you turn the AVR back on, the new network settings will be in effect. IMPORTANT: You must select Apply & Save for your network settings to take effect.
NOTE: If you have trouble connecting to the network at any time, cycle the AVR into the Standby mode, and then turn it back on.
