Signature 2.0

Advanced Setup

The Signature 2.0 is among the most flexible audio/video products available. The true power of the 2.0, however, is in the way that flexibility is harnessed through easy- to-use on-screen menus and a simple installation and configuration process. Intensive research by Harman Kardon has helped establish the factory settings for many of the 2.0’s options so that they need not be adjusted by most users.

However, for the advanced audiophile, or where special system installations require changes to the factory settings, the 2.0 provides a means to adjust settings that do not normally need any change. The following section describes those changes. You may wish to review it now, or proceed directly to the section of the Manual that describes the day-to-day operation of the 2.0. Should you find that some of these settings need adjustment

at a later date, you may always make them without impairing the enjoyment of your initial listening sessions.

If you do not need to change the 2.0’s initial turn-on volume level, power-up state, the brightness of the front panel display, the timing for the on-screen messages, the menu background or the system video format, turn to page 37 to find the 2.0’s operating instructions. If you do wish to change any of these items, look for the instruc- tions in this section.

Turn-On Volume

The 2.0’s electronic volume control differs from traditional mechanical volume controls in that there is no visible indi- cation of the unit’s volume when it is not turned on. Thus, it is possible the last person to use the 2.0 may leave it set at a higher volume level than you expect when the system is turned on again. To prevent against damage to speakers or complaints from the neighbors, the 2.0 is factory preset to turn on at a level of 10.

If you wish to change that setting, press the Menu button j to display the Setup Menu (Figure OSD-4), and press the Û Menu Control button i until Advanced Setup > is highlighted. Press the Menu button again to display the Advanced Settings Menu (Figure OSD-10).

The first item on the menu is the Turn On Vol setting. Press the Ü and Ý Menu Control buttons i until the desired volume level is heard.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use the regular volume controls to make the adjustments for this setting, as those controls do not alter the memorized settings.

When your new turn-on volume level is reached, press the Menu button j to return to the main Setup Menu or twice to exit the menu system.

Power-Up State

This setting enables you to control the manner in which the 2.0 turns on when power is applied using either the Master Power Switch 1, or by plugging in the AC Power Cord â while the Master Power Switch 1 is in the “ON” position.

If you plan to control the 2.0 using optional, external power sense equipment, or live in an area where there are frequent power interruptions, you may wish to make an adjustment to this setting. In normal operation, however, the setting should be left at the factory preset position.

The settings for this option do not have any impact on normal operation when the unit is turned on from the Standby mode with either the Standby Switch 2 on the front panel or the Main Power Switch a on the remote. Again, they only determine the state for the 2.0 when power is applied after it is interrupted by a power failure, by removing the power cord or turning the unit off with the Master Power Switch 1.

The following options are available:

Current: When this option is selected, the 2.0 will return to the state it was in when power was
