User manual HARMAN KARDON AVR25

[. . . ] The AVR25 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. With onboard Dolby* Digital and DTS® decoding, the AVR25 delivers six discrete channels of audio that take advantage of the digital soundtracks from the latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television broadcasts. While complex digital systems are hard at work within the AVR25 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections, a programmable remote control, and on-screen menus make the AVR25 easy to use. [. . . ] When you have completed your selection for the subwoofer, press the ¤ button n on the remote to change the cursor to SUB X-OVER FREQ. The subwoofer crossover setting may only be adjusted using the on-screen display system. At this line you will select the frequency at which bass information is directed to the Subwoofer Output ¤. The choices available will depend on the setting made previously for the front left/right speakers. When making these selections, choose the crossover frequency that is closest to that of your front left/right speakers, or the upper frequency limit of your subwoofer. This figure is normally printed in the Owner's Manual or data sheet for the speakers, or consult the speaker's manufacturer. · When the front speakers have been set to LARGE, the crossover choices are 40 Hz or 60 Hz to match the typical crossover points of full range speakers. · When the front speakers have been set to SMALL, the crossover choices are 80 Hz or 100 Hz to match the typical crossover points of the smaller speakers used in satellite speaker systems. When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ button n and then the Set button p to return to the main menu. The Speaker Configuration may also be changed at any time without using the full-OSD on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker Select button on the front panel i or remote 32 . Once the button is pressed, FNT SPEAKER will appear in both the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display Y. Adjust the volume so that it is at -15, as shown in the on-screen display or Main Information Display Y. Hold the remote in front of you at arm's length, being sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone 39 at the top of the remote. Release the button when the Program/SPL Indicator c stops flashing and you hear the test noise from the front left speaker. At this point, the EzSet circuitry will take over, adjusting the output level of each channel so that when the process is complete all levels will be equal and at the set reference point. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the extent of adjustment required. During the adjustment you will see the location of the channel position being adjusted appear in both the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display Y, alternating with a readout of the output setting, relative to the reference volume level. As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously: · The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Position Indicators Q. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the Indicator, there is an error in the speaker connections. If this is the case, press the Test Button i TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper Outputs >fi. · As each channel is set, the channel name and the adjustment offset will appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display Y. [. . . ] The red LED under the Input Selector e will go out and the Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flashing and turn green. The Program/SPL Indicator c will remain green until the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while, depending on how many commands are in the memory and need to be erased. When the Program/SPL Indicator c goes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings. Resetting the Remote Memory As you add components to your home-theater system, occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the remote control without the confusion of any commands, macros or "Punch-Through" programming that you may have done.
