On the Dolby menu (Figure 7), the selection choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic
IIEmulation Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference and Wide, and Dolby 3 Stereo. A complete explanation of these modes is found on Page 29.
The Dolby Digital EX mode is only available when the system is set for 6.1/7.1 operation by config- uring the Surround Back speakers to “Small” or “Large” as described on page 22. When a disc is playing that contains a special “flag” signal in the digital audio data stream, the EX mode will be selected automatically. It may also be selected using this menu or through the front panel or remote controls. A complete explanation of these modes is found on page 29.
Note that when the Dolby Digital mode is select- ed there are additional settings available for the Night mode that are associated with the surround mode only, not with the input. That´s why these settings must be made only once, not with each input in use. They are described later in the next main chapter (see below).

On the DTS menu, the selection choices made with the ‹/ › Buttons Eon the remote are determined by a combination of the type of DTS program material in use and whether the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 speaker output configuration is in use.
When the 5.1 configuration is in use the AVR will automatically select the 5.1 version of DTS processing when a DTS data stream is received. When the 6.1/7.1 mode is selected, the
On the Logic 7 menu, the selection choices made with the ‹/ › Buttons Eon the remote are determined by whether the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 speaker output configuration is in use. In either case, the selection of a Logic 7 mode enables Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 processing to create fully enveloping, multichannel surround from either

Adjustments for Other Inputs
After one input has been adjusted for analog or digital input, speaker type and surround mode, return to the INPUT SETUP line on the MASTER menu and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode may be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type will usually be the same (inputs set to GLOBAL). But if prefered you can also select different speaker types or turn speakers on or off individually for each input in use.
Delay Settings
Due the different distances between the listening position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or sur- round speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater.
To
In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR is among the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or per- sonal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications.
The Delay setting for all speakers configured for your system will be available only (with 5.1 or with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur- round mode is selected (except
Note that the Delay settings are "Global" for all inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need not to be repeated with any input.
To start with the delay settings at first select any input associated with such a Dolby mode. Next, continue within the MASTER MENU (Figure
