Remote Control Functions IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 2000’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR 2000. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector button 4 that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 2000’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 2000 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks.
Remote Control Functions I Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys G to select a station (See page 29 for more information on the tuner). O Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 2000’s memory.
Installation and Connections After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment. Audio Equipment Connections We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals.
Installation and Connections SCART A/V Connections For the connections described above your video device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and SVideo connectors for all Audio and Video signals: Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8) for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs for record and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any SVideo device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA (Audio) and 1 S-Video jack (Video), if it´s a playback unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and 2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording VCR.
Installation and Connections Important Note for the Use of SCART-Cinch Adapters: When video sources are connected to the TV directly with a SCART cable, specific control signals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed to the TV. These specific signals are: With all video sources, the signal for automatic input selection that switches the TV automatically to the appropriate input as soon as the video source is started.
System Configuration Speaker Selection No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the front-left, center and front-right speakers. This creates a seamless front soundstage and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front-channel speakers.
System Configuration First Turn On Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configuration memories. With the AVR 2000 two kind of memories are used, those associated individually with the input selected, e.g. surround modes, and others working independently from any input selected like speaker output levels, or delay times used by the surround sound processor. You are now ready to power up the AVR 2000 to begin these final adjustments. 1.
System Configuration With the AVR 2000 turned on, follow these steps to configure the speakers: 1. Put the AVR 2000 in the Dolby Pro Logic mode by pressing the Surround Mode Selector button 7 on the front or 9 and then the ⁄/¤ buttons C on the remote, until PRO LOGIC appears in the Main Information Display X and the PRO LOGIC indicator F lights. 2. Press the Speaker button Ù on the remote or front panel. The words FRNT SPEAKER will appear in the Main Information Display X. 3. Press the Set button E Ó. 4.
System Configuration To assist in making these settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators P 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.
System Configuration (3–1)x3+15=21. Thus, in this example, the Pro Logic delay should be set at twenty milliseconds. NOTE: The DTS, Logic 7, 5CH Stereo, Hall and Theater modes use a fixed, nonadjustable delay time. The Dolby Digital Mode also includes a separate setting for the center channel delay mode, since the discrete nature of these signals makes the location of the center channel speaker more critical.
System Configuration 3. The test noise will immediately begin to circulate in the speakers in a clockwise rotation, pausing at each position for two seconds. As the test noise rotates the speaker positions FL, C, FR, RS, LS (Front Left, Center, Front Right, Right Surround, Left Surround) will be shown in the Main Information Display X.
Operation Basic Operation Once you have completed the setup and configuration of the AVR 2000, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions should be followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your new receiver: Turning the AVR 2000 On or Off • When using the AVR 2000 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3.
Operation Surround Mode Chart MODE FEATURES DELAY TIME RANGE DOLBY DIGITAL Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel. Center: 0 ms – 5 ms Initial Setting – 0 ms Surround: 0 ms – 15 ms Initial Setting – 0 ms DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data.
Operation Surround Mode Selection One of the most important features of the AVR 2000 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround encoded programs and standard stereo or even mono programs. In all, a total of thirteen listening modes are available on the AVR 2000. Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used.
Operation or a PCM audio track from DVD, use the Logic 7 C or Cinema mode. For stereo or surround encoded pure music recordings use the Logic 7 M or Music mode for a wider front sound stage (see Surround Mode Chart page 24). MP3 Audio Playback The AVR 2000 is one of the first A/V receivers to provide on-board decoding for the MP3 audio format used on specific computer audio files and by portable MP3 players/recorders.
Operation is important to note that although Dolby Digital, for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby Digital DVD or audio tracks selected on DVD or other Dolby Digital programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger e.g. only the “L” and “R” indicators. NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same soundtrack, the ”2.0” version often is used with other languages.
Operation Output Level Trim Adjustment Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 2000 is established using the test tone, as outlined on pages 21 and 22. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer and those for the Stereo and VMAx modes can only be adjusted using this procedure.
Operation Tuner Operation The AVR 2000’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations and receiving RDS data. Stations may be tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite station presets and recalled from a 30 position memory. Station Selection 1. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button 6 on the remote to select the tuner as an input.
Operation RDS Operation The AVR 2000 is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a wide range of information to FM radio. Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or network information, a description of station program type, text messages about the station or specifics of a musical selection, and the correct time.
Operation • JAZZ: Jazz Music • COUNTRY: Country Music • NATIONAL: National Music • OLDIES: Oldies Music • FOLK M: Folk Music • DOCUMENT: Documentary Programs • TEST: Emergency Test NOTE: Many stations do not transmit a specific PTY. The display will show NONE, when such a station is selected and PTY is active. NOTE: Some stations transmit constant traffic information. To identify as traffic station, they transmit a specific traffic code constantly, which causes the TA Indicator AA to light in the display.
Programming the Remote The AVR 2000 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, including CD players, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater equipment. Once the AVR 2000’s remote is programmed with the codes for the products you own, it is possible to eliminate most other remotes and replace them with the convenience of a single universal remote control.
Programming the Remote Macro Programming Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the AVR 3000’s remote control. Once programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-determined sequential order enabling you to automate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other common tasks.
Programming the Remote Programmed Device Functions Once the AVR 2000’s remote has been programmed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input Selector 4 to change the remote from control over the AVR 2000 to the additional product. When you press any of these buttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.
Programming the Remote Channel Control Punch-Through Transport Control Punch-Through Resetting the Remote Memory The AVR 3000’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the channel control function for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote.
