AVR

Volume Units: This setting lets you select whether the AVR displays the volume level in the conventional decibel scale or on a numeric scale from 0 to 100. When the decibel scale is used, 0dB is the maximum recommended volume, with lower volumes displayed as negative values. (-90dB – +10dB). The decibel scale is the default setting.

Volume Default and Volume Default Level: These two settings are used together to program the volume level when you turn on the AVR. Set Volume Default to On, and then set the Volume Default Level to the desired turn-on volume. When Volume Default is set to Off, the AVR will turn on at the last-used volume setting from the previous listening session.

Unit of Measure: Adjusts the speaker-distance settings for Manual Speaker Setup. Select between meters and feet.

Language: Select the preferred language for the AVR’s on-screen menus and displays: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Russian.

Dolby Volume Calibration: This setting determines the Dolby Volume calibration, as described in Dolby Volume Calibration, on page 28. Refer to that section for details about setting the calibration.

RS232 Control: If you have connected the AVR to an external control system via its RS- 232 port, set this line to On to enable the AVR to be controlled by the external control system. Refer to the control system’s documentation for details.

Menu Appearance

Menu Transparency: This selection lets you determine whether video programs will be visible when the menu system is in use. Select Normal for a fully transparent background, Medium for partial transparency or Opaque to completely block video programs while menus are on screen.

Volume/Status Messages: When the AVR is turned on, the volume is adjusted, the source is changed or a change in the input signal is detected, a status message will be displayed on the TV screen. Select how long the message remains visible, from 2 to 10 seconds, with a default of 3 seconds. Select “Off” if you do not wish to see the status messages on the TV screen (they will still appear on the AVR’s front-panel message display).

Menus: This setting governs how long the Surround Modes, Video Modes and Audio

Effects menus remain visible after the last adjustment: 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes. Select “No Time-Out” to view the menus indefinitely, but this setting is not recommended, due to the danger of “burn-in” on some video displays.

Setup and Slide-In Menus: This setting determines how long the setup menus (Main Menu, Speaker Setup Menu, Zone 2 Menu, all slide-in menus) remain visible after the last adjustment. Select a time-out period of 5, 10 or 15 (the default) minutes, or no time-out, which leaves the menus on screen until manually cleared. A time-out period avoids the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or CRT displays.

Screen Saver: Program a time-out period for no activity (with no menus displayed) before the AVR’s built-in screen saver begins. Select a period of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour, or turn off the screen saver. A time-out period avoids the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or CRT displays.

System Info

Software Version: This line is informational only. From time to time, Harman Kardon engineers may release software upgrades that improve your AVR’s performance or add features. If you are experiencing difficulties with the AVR, a customer-service representative may ask for the software version of your AVR to determine whether a later upgrade is available.

Upgrade Software: If a software upgrade is released for your AVR, installation instructions will be available in the Product Support section of the Web site or from Harman Kardon customer service. At that time, you may access this submenu to install the upgrade software.

IMPORTANT: During a system upgrade, do not power off the AVR or use any of its controls. Doing so could permanently damage the AVR.
