Introduction, Speaker Placement and Connection
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a harman kardon® product!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your new harman kardon® audio/video receiver.
To conserve our natural resources, your AVR does not include a printed owner's manual. An owner's manual containing complete information about operating all of your new AVR's features is available at our Web site. Go to www.harmankardon.com and download the
AVR 1650 / AVR165 Owner’s Manual.
Place the AVR
ssPlace the AVR on a firm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any mounting hardware can support the AVR's weight.
ssProvide proper space above and below the AVR for ventilation. If you install the AVR in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
ssDo not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the AVR or place objects directly over them.
ss Do not place the AVR directly on a carpeted surface.
ssDo not place the AVR in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, in areas near heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
Place Your Speakers
Determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s directions and the layout of your listening room. Use the illustration below as a guide.
For more detailed speaker placement information, download the complete AVR 1650/AVR 165 Owner’s Manual from www.harmankardon.com.
