Description and Features

The AVR 130 is a versatile and multifeatured A/V receiver, incorporating a wide range of listening options.In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digital sources,a broad choice of analog surround modes are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR,TV broadcasts and the AVR 130’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic

* II decoding technology,Dolby 3 Stereo and custom Hall and Theater modes,only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7

to create a wider, more enveloping field environment and more defined fly-overs and pans.Another feature exclusive to Harman Kardon receivers is VMAx,

which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are available.

In addition to providing a wide range of listening options,the AVR 130 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environment.A Stereo-Direct mode bypasses the digital processor to preserve all of the subtleties of older analog,two-channel materials, while bass management, available in the surround and Stereo-Digital modes,improves your ability to tailor the sound to suit your room acoustics or taste.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 130 features connections for four video devices,all with both composite and S-Video inputs,including the front-panel inputs.Two additional audio inputs are available, and a total of six digital inputs make the AVR 130 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources.Coax and optical digital audio outputs are also available for direct connection to digital recorders.A video recording output and a six-channel input make the AVR 130 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new formats right on board. The AVR 130’s powerful amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon high-current, ultrawide bandwidth design technologies.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver fifty years ago.With state-of-the-art circuitry and timehonored circuit designs,the AVR 130 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 13

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System Installation

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.

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet.This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the

CD Audio Inputs ¡. NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and vari-

able audio outputs it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy,or so high that the signal is distorted.

2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, MD,CD-R or other audio recorder to the

Tape

Input Jacks

£. Connect the analog Record/In jacks

on the recorder to the

Tape Output Jacks ™ on the

AVR 130.

3. Connect the output of any digital sources to the appropriate input connections on the AVR 130 rear panel. Note that the

Optical and Coaxial Digital

Inputs

•ª*( may be used with a Dolby Digital or DTS source,such as a DVD player,or the output of a conventional CD or LD player’s PCM (S/P-DIF) output.

4.Connect the

Optical Digital Output ‹ or Coaxial

Digital Output

› on the rear panel of the AVR130 to the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

5.Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit so that the tabs at the bottom of the antenna loop snap into the holes in the base.Connect it to the

and GND Screw Terminals g .

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the

Antenna (75 ohm) Connection

h.The FM antenna may also be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable TV system.Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable,you must use the 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter supplied with the unit to make the connection.

7. Connect the front, center and surround

Speaker

Outputs

∞§¶ to the respective speakers.

To ensure that all the audio signals are carried to your speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we suggest that you use high-quality speaker cable.Many brands of cable are available and the choice of cable may be influenced by the distance between your speakers and the receiver, the type of speakers you use,personal preferences and other factors.Your dealer or installer is a valuable resource to consult in selecting the proper cable.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a cable constructed of fine,multistrand copper with a gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in specifying cable,the lower the number,the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than ten feet.We do not recommend that you use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate testing agency standards.Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrical contractor who is familiar with the NEC and/or the applicable local building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers,be certain to observe proper polarity.Remember to connect the “negative” or “black”wire to the same ter minal on both the receiver and the speaker. The AVR 130 conforms to the CEA-recommended color-coding for speaker terminals.Accordingly,the positive (+) terminal, which was previously red, is now a specific color to assist you in making the correct connections.If your speakers have color-coded connections, match the terminal on the AVR130 to the like terminal on your speakers.For existing speakers with a red terminal for the positive connection, the connections on the AVR 130 are as follows:

Front Left = White Front Right = Red Center = Green Surround Left = Blue Surround Right = Gray

While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive,some manufacturers may vary from this configuration.To ensure proper phase and optimal performance,consult the identification plate on your speaker or the speaker’s manual to verify polarity.If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or surround-left and surround-right speakers,even if the speakers are a different distance from the AVR 130.

8. Connections to a subwoofer are normally made via a line-level audio connection from the

Subwoofer

Output

¢ to the line-level input of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. When a passive subwoofer is used, the connection first goes to a power amplifier, which will be connected to one or more subwoofer speakers. If you are using a powered subwoofer that does not have line-level input connections,follow the instructions furnished with the speaker for connection information.

Video Equipment Connections

Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio components.Again, the use of high-quality interconnect cables is recommended to preserve signal quality.

Although any compatible video device may be connected to any video input or output, to make programming device codes into the remote control easier, we recommend that you connect your VCR or DVD recorder or a personal video recorder (PVR) to the Video 1 Audio/Video and S-Video Inputs ‡d, your television to the

Video 2 Audio/Video Input

·f, and your cable-TV converter or satellite receiver to the

Video 3 Connectors Ô.

1. Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out jacks to the

Video 1 Audio/Video and S-Video Input Jacks

‡d on the rear panel. The Audio and Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be connected to the

Video 1 Audio/Video and S-Video Output

Jacks

°e on the AVR130.

2. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a television set or any other video source to the

Video 2

Audio/Video and S-Video Jacks

·f.

3. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a cable TV converter or satellite receiver, or any other video source,to the

Video 3 Jacks Ô on the

front panel of the AVR 130.

14 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

4. Connect the left/right analog audio outputs of a DVD or laser disc player to the

DVD Audio Inputs

c. Connect the composite video output of your DVD player to the

DVD Video Input c or the DVD

player’s S-Video output to the

DVD S-Video Input

ﬂ.However, if your DVD player and video display both support component video,you should make that connection directly.

When a digital audio connection is used for your DVD player, the default connection is the

Coaxial

Digital Input 1 Jack

ª. However,the connection

may also be made to any of the

Optical •* or

Coaxial ª( Digital Inputs, provided that the

digital input source selection is changed as shown on page 23.

For DVD players with DVD-Audio or SACD playback capability,connect the 6-channel line-level audio outputs to the

6-Channel Direct Inputs a. When you wish to hear the DVD-Audio or SACD playback, first select the DVD Input on the AVR in order to select the video signal from the DVD player, then select the 6Channel Direct Input source for the audio.

5. Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the appropriate

Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs

•ª*(.

6. Connect the

Video Monitor Output ﬁb jacks on the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.

VIDEO CONNECTION NOTE:

• Composite and S-Video signals may only be viewed

in their native formats.The AVR 130 will not convert signals from composite to S-Video,or vice versa. S-Video inputs may only be viewed when the AVR 130 is connected to a TV set or video display with S-Video capability.If you use both standard composite video and S-Video sources in your system, it is important that you connect both an S-Video cable and a standard composite video cable (a coax cable with an RCA plug on both ends) between the AVR130 and your TV or projector. When it is necessary to make both types of connections to your TV set,use different inputs if possible.Consult the instructions for your TV set or projector for more information on connecting both types of signals.

Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices,but they should not be used with high-current draw equipment such as power amplifiers.The total power draw to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.

The

Switched AC Accessory Outlet ⁄ will receive power only when the unit is on.This is recommended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON”position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets,and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.

The

Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet ¤ will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet.

Finally,when all connections are complete,plug the Power Cord ‚ into a non-switched 120-volt AC wall outlet.You’re almost ready to enjoy the AVR 130!
