Processor Reset
In the rare case where the unit’s operation or
the displays seem abnormal, the cause may
involve the erratic operation of the system’s
memory or microprocessor.
To correct this problem, first unplug the unit
from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three
minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC
power cord and check the unit’s operation. If
the system still malfunctions, a system “reset”
may clear the problem.
To clear the AVR 220’s entire system memory
including tuner presets, output level settings,
delay times and speaker configuration data,
first put the unit in Standby by pressing the
System Power Control Button 2. Next,
simultaneously press and hold the
Tone Mode
6 and the FM Mode Selector @ buttons
for three seconds.
The unit will turn on automatically and display
the
RESET message in the Main
Information Display
S. Note that once you
have cleared the memory in this manner, it is
necessary to reestablish all system configuration
settings and tuner presets.
NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any
configuration settings you have made for
speakers, output levels, surround modes, digital
input assignments as well as the tuner presets.
After a reset, the unit will be returned to the
factory presets, and all settings for these items
must be reentered.
If the system is still operating incorrectly, there
may have been an electronic discharge or
severe AC line interference that has corrupted
the memory or microprocessor.
If these steps do not solve the problem, consult
an authorized Harman Kardon service center.
You can locate the service center nearest
to you by visiting our Web site at
www.harmankardon.com.

Isolating audio problems in an AVR receiver
Using 6/8 Direct In
The following charts are used to help the tech quickly isolate
audio problems in an AVR receiver. Use the following
procedures to help find what is working, then to quickly locate
the problem area.
Equipment needed:
9 1 set of (RCA) Y adaptors.
9 Function/signal generator.
9 Oscilloscope.
Procedure:
1) Do a factory reset of the receiver. (This will eliminate any common micro processor
problems.) Reset List can be found in this service manual.
2) Print the block diagram from the service manual.
3) With no inputs or speakers attached to the AVR turn on the receiver and turn the
volume all the way down.
4) Turn unit off.
5) Hook up an oscillator to the 6/8 Direct in jacks using the Y adaptors. Adjust the
oscillator to about 0db (.775Volts RMS).
6) Hook up an oscilloscope to monitor the line out jacks. Or, if there are no line out
(preamp out) jacks monitor the input to the power amps or the speaker outs.
(AVR125, 225, 130 do not have preamp out jacks)
7) Turn the AVR on. Select 6 or 8 direct in, depending on the receiver.
8) Slowly turn the volume control up until you can easily measure the voltage at the line
out jacks. ( -40 to -25db )

Using 6/8 Direct In
9) At this point you will be able to check and assure all output levels are the same.
10) IF THE OUTPUT LEVELS ARE NOT THE SAME
you will need to use the charts to see where you are losing your signal. The chart
shows the analog signal flow from the input jacks to the output jacks.
11) If the output levels are the same check the power out stage at the speaker out jacks.
12) If you find the levels at the speaker out jacks are OK, your problem will be in the DSP
part of the receiver.
Congratulations! You have now eliminated 90% of the electronics in the AVR and
confirmed that the problem is in the DSP section.
STOP! Go no further. At this point
