Introduction

ENGLISH
Congratulations! With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR80 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR80 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every subtle nuance of musical selections. In addition, the AVR80 has the flexibility to expand to serve as the heart of a multiroom audio system, and the capability for use with digital multichannel audio systems.
While complex digital systems are hard at work within the AVR80 to make all of this happen, hook-up and operation are simple. Color keyed connections, a comprehensive remote control and on screen menus make the AVR80 easy to use. To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver we urge you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will ensure that connections to speakers, source playback units and other external devices are made properly. In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the AVR80 is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer. They are your best local source of information.
Description and Features
The AVR80 is a full featured A/V receiver, incorporating a wide variety of listening options. In addition to standard Dolby® Pro Logic™ processing, the AVR80 uses Twin Digital Signal Processors to provide Home THX® Cinema and five other surround modes. Future expansion capability enables upgrades to 5.1 digital audio systems such as AC-3™ through the use of an optional external adapter.
A total of five audio/video inputs, each with both composite and “S” video, as well as three additional audio only inputs are selected through a learning remote control and an easy to read front panel display or on screen graphics through a TV monitor. Dubbing and tape outputs are available, and multiroom operation is available with independent source and volume selection.
The AVR80’s powerful amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon High Current design philosophies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection. For the audio purist, the AVR80 may be connected directly to the digital output of an LD player, avoiding excessive D/A conversion steps.
Harman Kardon invented the high fidelity receiver over forty years ago. With state of the art circuitry and time honored circuit designs, the AVR80 is undoubtedly the finest receiver ever offered by Harman Kardon.

Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR80 has been designed for use with 220–240 volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your unit. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open The Cabinet
There are no user serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.
Installation Location
■To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
■Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may be required.
■Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
■Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
■Avoid moist or humid locations.
■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.
Moving The Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Important Fuse and
Plug Information
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3.Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A.
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.
NOTE: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to Connect a Plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE – “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN – “LIVE” (“L”)
1.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
2.The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3.Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked my the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol 
or coloured green or green- and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead – not simply over the two wires.
