[. . . ] Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon ST8 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. In addition to the traditional 5. 1 digital decoding modes such as Dolby Digital and DTS, it offers the latest advancements in surround technology such as Dolby Pro Logic II, the full suite of DTS modes, DTS Neo:6 and the latest 5. 1 channel versions of Harman's own Logic 7 technology. [. . . ] · If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR, you have the option to have the front left/right "main" speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only System Configuration when the AVR is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency Effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass created for certain movies. To select that option press the </ > Buttons Ea on the remote so that LFE appears in the onscreen menu. · If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or Surround mode you are listening to, press the </ > Buttons Ea on the remote so that L/R+LFE appears in the on-screen menu. When this option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to the front left/right "main" speakers. The subwoofer will receive the front left and right bass frequencies under the crossover frequency selected in another setting on this menu, as described below, and also the LFE soundtrack. When all initial speaker "size" settings have been made, you now have the option to take advantage of the AVR's Triple Crossover system, which allows individual crossover settings to be made for each speaker group. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to custom tailor the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible. If you have already run EzSet/EQ the settings calculated during that procedure will already appear. No further adjustment is required unless you wish to conform a specific item to your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration. The low-frequency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. Within five seconds, either press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker position, or press the OK Button @F to begin the adjustment process for the front left and right speakers. When the OK button @ F has been pressed and the system is ready for a change to the front speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main Information Display Ò will read FRONT LARGE or FRONT SMALL depending on the current setting. Press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for "large" or "small" shown earlier, then press the OK button @F. If another speaker position needs to be changed, press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker position, press the OK button @ F and then the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown and press the OK button @ F again to confirm the selection. To assist in making these settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators $ will change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the speaker is set for "small. When the inner box " and the two outer boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for "large. " When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for "none" or "no" speaker.
