AVR335 harman/kardon

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and

semiconductor "chip" components.

The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on

your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,

which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to

prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges

sufficient to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement

ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the

chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

CAUTION :

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together

or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing.

Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the

parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably

insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.

LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK

Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester between the earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V AC 60Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any current measured must not exceed o.5mA.

ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System Installation

300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.

After unpacking the unit, locating it in a place with adequate ventilation 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For your personal safety and to avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers, it is always a good practice to turn off and unplug the AVR and ALL source equipment from the AC output before making any audio or video system connections.

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.

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 it 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

Output Jacks

£ on the AVR 335.

Tape

3. Connect the output of any digital sources such as a CD or DVD changer or player, advanced video game, a digital satellite receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or the output of a compatible computer sound card to the

Optical and

Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs dg*(.

4. Connect the coaxial or optical

Digital Audio Outputs

ab on the rear panel of the AVR 335 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

AM Antenna Terminals .

7. Connect the front, center, surround and surround back speaker outputs tive 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 copper with a gauge of 14 or smaller. 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 10 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 electrician 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. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection now carries a specific color code, as noted on page 7. However, most speakers still use a red terminal for the positive (+) connection. Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on both the receiver and the speaker.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some 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

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the

(75-ohm) Connection . The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire-lead antenna or a connection from a cable TV system. If the antenna or connection uses 300ohm twin-lead cable, you must use an optional

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.

9. If an external multichannel audio source with 5.1or 7.1-channel outputs such as an external digital processor/decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is used, connect the outputs of that device to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs j.

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.

1. Connect a VCR’s, personal video recorder’s (PVR) or other video source’s audio and video Play/Out jacks to the

Video 1 or Video 2 Audio/Video and

S-Video Input Jacks fi on the rear

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

Video 1 or Video 2 Audio/ Video and S-Video Output Jacks

that you may take advantage of the fact that the remote control is preprogrammed with video recorder product codes for the Video 1 device.

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

3 Audio/Video and S-Video Input Jacks

Video 2 or Video

. Although any video device may be connected to these jacks, we recommend connecting your cable TV converter or satellite receiver so that you may take advantage of the fact that the remote control is preprogrammed with the product codes of these device types for the Video 2 device. If your device is capable of switching component video, we particularly recommend connecting it to the the

A device connected here is selected as the Video 4 input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the Video 4 input. (See page 17 for more information on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

• When the component video jacks are used, the on-

screen menus are not visible and you must switch to the standard composite or S-video input on your TV to view them.

• The AVR 335 will accept either standard composite, S-video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals. However, it will not convert any of these signals do a different format.

• When connecting a video source to the AVR 335, you may use composite, component or S-video, but only one type of video may be connected for each device.

• When more than one video format is used, it is necessary to make a separate connection from the AVR to your video display for each format. For example, if both composite and component sources are connected to the AVR 335, both the

Composite and Component Video Monitor Outputs

‹ must be connected to the appro-

priate inputs on your video display.

System and Power Connections

The AVR 335 is designed for flexible use with multiroom systems, external control components and power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input ¢ jack.

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the

Remote IR Output § jack to

the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to the AVR 335 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR connection cable into the

Multiroom IR Input ∞ jack on

the AVR 335’s rear panel. If Harman Kardon-compatible source equipment is part

of the main room installation, the

§ jack on the rear panel should be connected

Remote IR

Output

to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the remote room sensor to control that equipment.

Multiroom Connections

The AVR 335 is equipped with multizone capabilities that allow it to send a separate audio source to the remote zone from the one selected for use in the main room.

Depending on your system’s requirement, three options are available for audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio interconnect cable from the AVR 335’s location to the remote

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 15

room. In the remote room, connect the interconnect cable to a stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s speakers.At the AVR 335, plug the audio interconnect cables into the

Audio Output

¡ jacks on the AVR 335’s rear panel.

Multiroom

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Output ¡

jacks on the AVR 335 to the inputs of an optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3: Taking advantage of the AVR 335’s built-in seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote room. When using this option you will not be able to use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the AVR 335 in the main listening room, but you will be able to add another listening room without additional external power amplifiers.To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote room location to the

Multiroom Speaker Outputs

Surround Back/

‚. Before using the remote room you will need to configure the amplifiers for surround operation by changing a setting in the MULTIROOM menu, following the instructions shown on page 35.

NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR 335 via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to the Multiroom IR Input ∞ and use the Zone II remote to control the room volume.Alternatively, you may install an optional volume control between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers. See page 35 for more informatin on the multiroom system.

AC 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.

• When the headphones are in use, you may take advantage of the Dolby Headphone modes to bring added spaciousness to headphone listening. Press the Surround Mode Group Selector 7 to cycle through the three Dolby Headphone modes and select the one that you prefer.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR 335 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo programs.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used. For example, motion pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the major surround-encoding processes, such as Dolby Surround or DTS Stereo, may be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, DTS Neo:6 Cinema or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes, depending on the source material.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix surround information, it retains the surround information as long as the program is broadcast in stereo.Thus, movies with surround sound may be decoded via any of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. In addition, a growing number of made-for-television programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional surround information, you may find that the Dolby Pro Logic II, Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, VMAx and the Hall or Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround presentations through the use of the natural information present in all stereo recordings.

Surround modes may be changed at any time by using either the front panel or remote control. To select a new surround mode from the front panel, first press the 7 until the desired major surround mode group such as Dolby, DTS or Logic 7 is selected. Next, press the Surround Mode Selector Button 8 to choose the specific individual surround mode.

Dolby Mode Select Button w or the

Surround Mode Group Selector Button

To select a surround mode using the remote, press the button for the major surround mode group that includes the mode you wish to choose from:

Dolby w, DTS Surround x, DTS Neo:6 , Logic 7 y, Stereo or DSP Surround k.

The first press of the button will show the current mode from that group if it is already in use, or the first available mode if you are currently using another mode.To cycle through the available modes in that group, press the button again until the desired mode appears in the Lower Display Line ¯, in the on-screen display and in the

Surround Mode Indicators ˘.

As the surround modes change, the appropriate Surround Mode Indicator ˘ will light to indicate which mode has been selected.

The Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX and DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be selected when a digital input is in use. In addition, when a digital source is present, the AVR 335 will automatically select and switch to the correct mode, regardless of the mode that has been previously selected. For more information on selecting digital sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.

The Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes are available only when the AVR 335 has been configured for 6.1/7.1 operation by setting the Surround Back speakers as either “Large” or “Small” as described on page 23. These modes provide a matrixed 6.1-channel presentation of analog sources. See page 29 for more information.

When the 6-channel/8-channel direct inputs are in use there is no surround processing, as these inputs take the analog output signals from an optional, external DVD-Audio or SACD player, or another source device and carry them straight through to the volume control without any further digital processing.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over older analog surround processing systems such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five discrete channels: left front, center, right front, left surround and right surround. Each channel reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramatically improved dynamic range and significant improvements to signal-to-noise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the capability to deliver an additional channel that is specifically devoted to low-frequency information. This is the “.1” channel referred to when you see these systems described as “5.1,” “6.1” or “7.1.” The bass channel is separate from the other channels, but since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound designers have given it that unique designation.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a standard part of DVD, and is available on specially encoded LD discs and satellite broadcasts and it is a part of the high-definition television (HDTV) system.

An optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the AVR 335 to listen to the Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to the demodulator and then connect the digital output of the demodulator to the Coaxial Inputs *(dg of the AVR 335. No demodulator is required for use with DVD players or DTS-encoded laser discs.

DTS

DTS is another digital audio system that is capable of delivering 5.1 or 6.1 discrete or matrix sound field reproduction. Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different methods of encoding the signals, and thus they require different decoding circuits to convert the digital signals back to analog.

DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on select DVD and LD discs, as well as on special audio-only DTS discs.You may use any LD or CD player equipped with a digital output to play DTS-encoded discs with the AVR 335.All that is required is to connect the player’s output to either an

Optical or Coaxial Input

on the rear panel dg or front panel *(.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo on the player’s front panel. Early DVD players may not be able to play DTS-encoded DVDs.This does not indicate a problem with the AVR 335, as some players cannot pass the DTS signal through to the digital outputs. If you are in doubt as to the capability of your DVD player to handle DTS discs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.

movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is available.When the receiver is set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX encoding is not available to provide the additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.

DTS 5.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or laser discs encoded

with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel. DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete of one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth

channels plus a separate low-frequency channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel

sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack. Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology that decodes full-range, discrete left, center right,

Movie right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround-encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when an analog input Music is in use.The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with Pro Logic musical selections.The Pro Logic mode activates original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology that creates a discrete 6.1 and 7.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel

Music stereo sources in systems configured for surround back speakers. Both Movie and Music versions of Pro Logic IIx are available.

Movie Logic 7 Cinema Exclusive to Harman Kardon for A/V receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either Logic 7 Music surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the Logic 7 Enhance

Information about DTS modes is available at www.dtsonline.com/home&car/overview.php.

SURROUND SELECT menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen, while the “7.1” versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques.The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the Logic 7 mode that is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many DVD players have a default

setting that does not pass through the DTS data, even

though the machine is capable of doing so. If your

DVD player has the “DTS Digital Out” logo but does

not trigger DTS playback in the AVR 335, change the

player’s settings in the “Audio” or “Bitstream” configu-

ration menu so that DTS playback is enabled. The

method for doing this will vary with each player. In

some cases, the proper menu choice will be “Original,”

while in others it will be “DTS.” Consult the owner’s

manual for your player to find the specific information

to find the proper setting.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode, you must have properly

connected a digital source to the AVR 335. Connect

the digital outputs from DVD players, HDTV receivers,

satellite systems or CD players to the

Optical or

Coaxial Inputs *(dg. In order to provide a

backup signal and a source for analog stereo recording,

the analog outputs provided on digital source equipment

should also be connected to their appropriate inputs on

the AVR 335 rear panel (e.g., connect the analog stereo

audio output from a DVD to the

DVD Audio Inputs

on the rear panel when you connect the source’s

digital outputs).

If you have not already configured an input for a digital

source using the on-screen menus as shown on page

Digital Bitstream Indications

When a digital source is playing, the AVR 335 senses

the type of bitstream data that is present. Using this

information, the correct surround mode will automati-

cally be selected. For example, DTS bitstreams will

cause the unit to switch to DTS decoding, and Dolby

Digital bitstreams will enable Dolby Digital decoding.

When the unit senses PCM data from CDs or LDs, you

may select any of the standard surround modes, such

as Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of

available surround modes is dependent on the type of

digital data that is present, the AVR 335 uses a variety

of indicators to let you know what type of signal is

present. This will help you to understand the choice

of modes.

When a digital source is playing, the AVR 335 will dis-

play a variety of messages to indicate the type of bit-

stream being received. These messages will appear shortly after an input or surround mode is changed, and they will remain in the

Lower Display Line ¯

for about five seconds before that portion of the display returns to the normal surround mode indication.

Surround Mode Types

For Dolby Digital and DTS sources, a three-digit indication will appear, showing the number of channels present in the data. An example of this type of display is

3/2/.1.

The first number indicates how many discrete frontchannel signals are present.

• A “3” tells you that separate front left, center and front right signals are available.This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs.

• A “2” tells you that separate front left and right signals are available, but there is no discrete center channel signal. This will be displayed for Dolby Digital bitstreams that have stereo program material.

• A “1” tells you that there is only a mono channel available in the Dolby Digital bitstream.

The middle number indicates how many discrete surround channel signals are present.

• A “2” tells you that separate surround left and right signals are available.This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs.

• A “1” tells you that there is only a single, surroundencoded surround channel. This will appear for Dolby Digital bitstreams that have matrix encoding.

• A “0” indicates that there is no surround channel information. This will be displayed for two-channel stereo programs.

The last number indicates whether there is a discrete low-frequency effects (LFE) channel. This is the “.1” in the common abbreviation of “5.1” sound and it is a special channel that contains only bass frequencies.

• A “.1” tells you that an LFE channel is present. This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs, as available.

• A “0” indicates that there is no LFE channel information available. However, even when there is no dedicated LFE channel, low-frequency sound will be present at the subwoofer output when the speaker configuration is set to show the presence of a subwoofer.

The information in the right side of the display will tell you if the digital audio data contains a special flag signal that will automatically activate the appropriate

6.1 or 7.1 mode.This will be shown as

EX-ON or

EX-OFF for Dolby Digital bitstreams, and ES-ON or ES-OFF for DTS bitstreams.

UNLOCK message may occasionally appear

in the

Lower Display Line ¯. It does not indicate

a fault or problem with your receiver or the digital source.This is your indication that the digital audio data stream has been interrupted or is no longer present.

When the message appears and the indicators flash, the unit’s digital signal processor has no signal to lock onto, and is thus “unlocked.”You may see this message when a DVD is first started until the stream is playing and the processor determines which mode to apply; or any time the data stream is stopped or paused, such as when the menus of some discs are displayed or when the player is switching between the different sections of a disc.You may also see the message when a satellite receiver, cable set-top or HDTV tuner is in use if the digital audio is temporarily interrupted when channels are changed or when a cable box switches from a channel with a digital data stream to a channel with analog audio only.The

UNLOCK

message is normal, and does not indicate any problem with your receiver. Rather, it tells you that the incoming data has simply been paused or is not present for a variety of possible reasons.

When Dolby Digital 3/2/.1 or DTS 3/2/.1 signals are being played, the AVR will automatically switch to the proper surround mode, and no other processing may be selected. When a Dolby Digital signal with a 3/1/0 or 2/0/0 signal is detected, you may select any of the Dolby surround modes.

It is always a good idea to check the readout for the channel data to make certain that it matches the audio logo information shown on the back of a DVD package. In some cases, you will see an indication for “2/0/0” even when the disc contains a full 5.1, or 3/2/.1, signal. When this happens, check the audio output settings for your DVD player or the audio menu selections for the specific disc being played to make certain that the player is sending the correct signal to the AVR.

PCM Playback Indications

PCM is the abbreviation for Pulse Code Modulation, which is the type of digital signal used for standard CD playback, and other non-Dolby Digital and non-DTS digital sources such as Mini-Disc.When a PCM signal is detected, the

Lower Display Line ¯ will briefly

show a message with the letters PCM, in addition to a readout of the sampling frequency of the digital signal.

In most cases, this will be

48kHz, though in the case of specially mastered, high-resolution audio discs, you will see a

96kHz indication.

Speaker/Channel Indicators

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the AVR 335 features a set of unique channel-input indicators that tell you how many channels of digital information are being received and/or whether the digital signal is interrupted (see Figure 12).

Figure 12

These indicators are the L/C/R/LFE/SL/SR/SBL/SBR letters that are inside the center boxes of the

Channel Input Indicators

ˆ on the front panel.

Speaker/

When a standard analog signal is in use, only the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as

analog signals have only

left and right channels.

Digital signals, however, may have two, five, six or seven channels, depending on the program material, the method of transmission and the way in which it was encoded. When a digital signal is playing, the letters in these indicators will light in response to the specific signal being received. It is important to note that although Dolby Digital, for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L” and “R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same soundtrack.When playing a DVD, always be certain to check the type of material on the disc. Most discs show this information in the form of a listing or icon on the back of the disc jacket. When a disc does offer multiple soundtrack choices, you may have to make some adjustments to your DVD player (usually with the “Audio Select” button or in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1 feed to the AVR 335. It is also possible for the type of signal feed to change during the course of a DVD playback. In some cases, the previews of special material will only be recorded in 2.0 audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1 audio.The AVR 335 will automatically sense changes to the bitstream and channel count and reflect them in these indicators.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode, which enables specially encoded Dolby Digital input sources to be played back with full digital intelligibility while reducing the minimum peak level by 1/4 to 1/3. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the impact of the digital source.The Night mode is available only when Dolby Digital signals with special data are being played.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby Digital DVD is playing by pressing the

Button

l on the remote. Next, press the ⁄/

Night Mode

Buttons n to select either the middle range or full-compression versions of the Night mode.To turn the Night mode off, press the

⁄/¤

Buttons n

until the message in the lower third of the video display and in the

Lower Display Line ¯ reads

D-RANGE OFF.

The Night mode may also be selected to always be on at either level of compression using the options in the DOLBY menu. See page 19 for information on using the menus to set this option.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

• Although the AVR 335 will decode virtually all current DVDs, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible that some future digital sources may not be compatible with it.

• Not all digitally encoded programs contain full 5.1or 6.1-channel audio. Consult the program guide that accompanies the DVD or laser disc to determine which type of audio has been recorded on the disc.The AVR 335 will automatically sense the digital surround encoding used and accommodate it.

• When a digital source is playing, you may not be able to select some of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3, Stereo, Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the AVR 335 is sent to the record outputs.This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the

£ or Video 1/Video 2 Audio and Video Outputs hk in the Record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Digital Audio Outputs ab, you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 335 is established EzSet+, or the internal the test tone, as outlined on page 25. However, you may wish to adjust the output levels using program material such as disc, or a selection you are familiar with.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first set the reference volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control Ù

If you prefer, you may use a handheld SPL meter to guide you to the correct SPL levels. Set the meter to the C-Weighting Slow scale, and adjust the volume until the meter reads 75dB.

Once the reference level has been set, press the

Channel Select Buttonmand FRONT L LEV
