Description and Features

The AVR 335 is versatile and multifeatured, incorporating a wide range of listening options. In addition to Dolby

* Digital and DTS®decoding for digital sound-

tracks, a broad choice of Matrix surround-encoded or Stereo surround modes are available for use with CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR 335’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic and IIx, DTS Neo:6

, Dolby 3 Stereo, and Hall and Theater modes, the AVR 335 offers Harman International’s exclusive Logic 7®processing in both 5.1 and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more enveloping ment and more defined fly-overs and pans.Another exclusive is VMAx

, which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are available. Dolby Virtual Speaker is also available to create an enveloping sound field when fewer than six speakers are used. The latest Dolby Headphone modes provide a much more open and realistic presentation for private headphones listening.

In addition to providing a wide range of listening

tomorrow’ The AVR 335’s flexibility and power extend beyond

your main home theater or listening room. The AVR 335 includes a sophisticated multizone control system that allows you to select one source for use in the main room and a different source for audio and video distribution to a second zone with the option to assign two of the AVR 335’s output channels to the multiroom system. Complete volume control in the second zone is possible with a separate infrared control link. To make it easy to operate the AVR 335 from a remote zone

, a separate “Zone II” remote is included.

The AVR 335’s powerful amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon high-current design technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your AVR 335 has been designed for use with 120-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. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service center with a cord meeting factory specifications.

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 center.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System Installation

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.

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 Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs dg*(.

4. Connect the coaxial or optical

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 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 ter

minal 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

y convention of using black ter

an industr negative and red ones for positive, some may vary from this configuration. To ensure proper phase and

, consult the identification plate on

optimal perfor

mance your speaker or the speaker’s manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

e also recommend that the length of cable used

W 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 335.

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

, there are a few configuration adjustments that must be made.A few minutes spent to correctly configure and calibrate the unit will greatly add to your listening experience.

Speaker Selection and Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannel home theater system can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the left front, center and right front speakers. This creates a seamless front soundstage and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front-channel speakers.

Speaker Placement

Depending on the type of center channel speaker use and your viewing device, place the center speaker either directly above or below your TV, or in the center behind a perforated front projection screen.

Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the front left and front right speakers so that they are as far away from one another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred listening position. Ideally, the front channel speakers should be placed so that their tweeters are no more than 24" above or below the tweeter in the center channel speaker.

Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics and the type of speakers in use, you may find that imaging is improved by moving the left front and right front speakers slightly forward of the center channel speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening position.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some experimentation to find the correct location for the front speakers in your particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio transitions across the front of the room sound smooth, and sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening position at the same time (without delay from the center speaker compared to the left and right speakers).

When the AVR 335 is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, ing position.

In a 7.1-channel system,

at or slightly behind the listen-

both side sur round and back surround speakers are required. The center of the speaker should face into the room.

position. should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears.The speakers should be no more than 6 feet behind the rear of the seating area.

If dipole-type speakers are used on either the side or rear walls of the room, please note that if there are arrows on the speakers they should face the front of the room for the side speakers, or toward the center of the wall for the rear speakers

‚. Connecting only one loudspeaker to these speaker terminals will not only deprive you of the benefits of 7.1-channel surround

, such as Logic 7, but will also interfere with the

modes functioning of the EzSet+ speaker setup and calibra tion process as described on page 20. It may also put undesirable strain on the surround back amplifier circuits and power supplies.

Subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be based on

room size and shape and the type of subwoofer used. One method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about six inches from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer at your normal listening position, and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot. You should also follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s manufacturer, or you may wish to experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room.

System Setup

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to program the AVR 335’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, calibrate the output levels, and set the delay times used by the surround sound processor.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find it easier to use the AVR 335’s on-screen display system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear picture of the current status of the unit and make it easy to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are making.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 335 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker configuration, digital input, surround mode, delay times, crossover frequency and output levels for each input source.This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR 335 memorize those settings.This means, for example, that you may use dif-

ferent output levels or trims for different sources, or set different speaker configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management system. Once these

settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input.

However, we recommend that the first time you use

, there are a few adjustments that need to be

cedure made to ensure accurate results.

The factory default settings for the AVR 335 have all inputs configured for an analog audio input except for the DVD input, where the

Input 1

d is the default. The default speaker settings

Coaxial Digital Audio

are “Small” for the front left/right, center and surround left/right positions, and “None” for the surround back left/right and the subwoofer. The default setting for the surround modes for all analog inputs is the Logic 7 Music mode. Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be selected as appropriate when either of those bitstream types is detected. When a 2-channel Dolby Digital source is present, Dolby Pro Logic II will also be selected automatically.

Before using the unit, you will probably want to change the settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs and the surround mode specifics of your home theater system. Remember that since the AVR 335 memorizes the settings for each input individually, you will need to make these adjustments for each input used. However, once they are made, further adjustment is only required when system components are changed.

To make this process as quick and easy as possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the on-screen menus, and step through each input. Once you have completed the settings for the first input, many settings may be duplicated for the

modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR 335, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround off”) as they are not typically used with multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that

round-encoded material will be used. Alternatively,

sur the

Automated Speaker Setup Using EzSet+

The AVR 335 is one of the first receivers in its class to offer automated speaker setup and system calibration. This process greatly simplifies the installation of your new receiver by using a series of test signals and the power of an advanced digital signal processing system to eliminate the need for manual adjustment

sion of EzSet+ to calibrate your system, but if desired you may also make any of the configuration settings manually, or trim the settings provided by EzSet+ by following the instructions on pages 22 through 26.

If you wish to configure your AVR manually, or if for some reason your EzSet+ microphone is unavailable, you may still do so by following the instructions on pages 22 through 26.

Step 1: EzSet+ requires that your listening room have as little background noise as possible to avoid interfering with the measurement of tones produced by your AVR during the setup procedure. Turn off all loud fans, air conditioners and other equipment, and try to avoid making any noise during the process.

Step 2: The EzSet+ microphone should be placed in either your usual listening position or, if there is a large seating area, the center of the room, at the listeners’ ear level. You may find it convenient to use a camera tripod for stable placement of the EzSet+ microphone at the correct height. The microphone includes a threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.

Step 3: Plug the EzSet+ microphone into the AVR 335’s

Headphone Jack 4, making certain

that the mini-plug to 1/4" phone plug adaptor supplied with the microphone is firmly connected. The microphone cable is approximately 20 feet long, which should accommodate most listening room situa tions

IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at this point, or use ear protection sufficient to reduce the noise level. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level. If you are uncomfortable with, or cannot tolerate, loud sounds and do not use some sort of ear protection, we strongly recommend that you leave the room and ask someone else to run the EzSet+ process, or that you do not use EzSet+ and enter the configuration settings manually, as described

Step 8: Once EzSet+ has been started, you will hear

test signals circulate among all of the speakers as the system sets the master level, checks to see where there are speakers, sets the distance measurement and calculates delay time settings, sets the speaker “size”, and sets the speaker crossover point. During the measurement and calibration process, you may observe the progress of the testing by reading the messages that appear in the second line of the menu listing. When the EzSet+ screen first appears, it contains a series of dashes, but as the test and measurement proceeds, you will see the following messages as the individual measurements are taken:

For each of these settings, use the if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers. Use the smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 60Hz. Note that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to reproduce low-frequency doubt as to which category consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

This menu screen also allows you to enter the settings for the AVR 335’s Quadruple Crossover feature, which allows a different crossover point to be used for the front left/right, center and surround speakers. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to customize the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible.

Delay Settings

Due to the different distances between the listening position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front versus surround speakers differs.You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust

the timing for the speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater

If you have already calibrated your system using EzSet+ the delay settings shown will reflect the results of the measurements made by EzSet+. No further changes are needed unless you wish to change an item to reflect your taste or a nonstandard system configuration. To change the settings, follow the instructions below to enter the distance between the speaker’s location and your main listening position. The measurements need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate typical listening rather than a specific “sweet spot” position.

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR 335 allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group.This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or personal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications.

Although EzSet+ calculates the delay settings for the individual speaker positions with very accurate results, the setting for A/V Sync Delay may only be done manually, since it requires that you observe the program material on your video display while adjusting the delay, if any, required for the specific source. Thus, even though you may have used EzSet+ for other delay settings, the A/V Sync Delay should still be configured as outlined below.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration of any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the AVR 335, as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks with the proper directionality and intensity

IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience or a special effect, or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are properly set, it is normal for surround speakers to operate only occasionally.Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way

you hear sound in a movie theater or

concert hall. If you have already calibrated your system using

EzSet+ the delay settings shown will reflect the results of the measurements made by EzSet+. No further changes are needed unless you wish to change a specific item to reflect your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration.

Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made.The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session.

Output levels may also be adjusted manually, either to set them to a specific level with an SPL meter, or to make fine-tuning adjustments to the levels obtained using the EzSet+.

Using the Full-OSD System

Manual output level adjustment is most easily done through the

CHANNEL ADJUST menu

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, the Hall or round 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, press the 7 until the desired major surround mode group such as Dolby, DTS or Logic 7 is selected.

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 sig-

and thus they require different decoding circuits

nals 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

. You may use any LD or CD player equipped

discs with a digital output to play DTS-encoded discs with

VR 335. All that is required is to connect the

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.

MODE FEATURES

Dolby Digital Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and

a special dedicated low-frequency effects (LFE) channel.

Dolby Digital EX Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital.When used with

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 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.

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.

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 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

Speaker/Channel Indica

In addition to the bitstream indicators

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

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

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 5.1-

or 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.

AVR 335 is fully equipped to operate as the con-

The trol center for a complete multiroom system that is capable of sending one source to a second zone in the house while a separate source is listened to in the main room. In addition to providing for control over the selection of the remote source and its volume AVR 335 offers a comprehensive range of options for powering the speakers in the second zone.

n Using the line-level Multiroom

the selected source may be fed to optional, external power amplifiers that may be matched to the specifics of the installation.

n When the main room system is configured for 5.1

operation, the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels may be used to power the remote zone so that no additional amplifiers are required.

In addition,

the AVR 335 includes a remote IR sensor input so that remote control commands from the Zone II remote included with the unit may be transmitted to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks allow the remote zone’s commands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled source devices.

Installation

Although simple remote room systems may be installed by the average do-it-yourself hobbyist, the complexity of your multizone/multiroom system involves running wires inside of walls where the services of a specially trained installer may be required. Regardless of who does the work, please remember that local building codes may govern in-wall electrical work, including proper specification of any wiring used and the way in which it is connected. You are responsible for making certain that all multiroom installation work is done properly and in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.

For standard installations, follow the instructions shown on page 14 for the connection of speaker wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR 335.

Programming the Device Codes

The AVR 335 remote is factory-programmed for all AVR functions, as well as those of most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVD players, CD players and cassette decks. In addition, by following one of the methods below, you may program the remote to operate a wide range of devices from other manufacturers.

Direct Code Entry

This method is the easiest way to program your remote to work with different products.

1. Use the tables in the following pages to determine the three-digit code or codes that match both the product type (e.g., VCR, TV) and the specific brand name. If there is more than one number for a brand, make note of the different choices.

2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the AVR 335 remote.

3. Press and hold both the the product you wish to control (e.g., VCR, TV) and the the red light under the lit and the and begins flashing, release the buttons. It is important that you begin the next step within 20 seconds

7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit off, if the code for your product does not appear in the tables in this manual, or if not all functions operate properly, try programming the remote with the Auto Search Method.

Auto Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 335’s remote is not listed in the code tables in this manual or if the code does not seem to operate properly, you may wish to program the correct code using the method that follows:

1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in the

AVR 335 remote.

2. Press the

product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute Button at the same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the Input Selector e stays lit and the Program Indicator c amber and begins flashing. The next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light appears.

3. Point the AVR 335 remote toward the unit to be

programmed, and press either the n. Each press will send out a series of codes from the remote’s built-in database.When the unit being programmed turns off, release the Button n, as that is your indication that the correct code is in use.

For example, the Sleep and Surround mode selector buttons also function as the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when operating most TV sets,VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is printed directly on the remote. For many standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions, the standard function icons are printed on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a particular button does not follow the command printed on the remote. In order to see which function a button controls, consult the Function List tables on pages 41 and 42. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram in Figure 15. Note that each button has a number on it.

o find out what function a particular button has for a specific device, find the button number on the Function List and then look in the column for the device you are controlling. For example, button number 45 is the Direct button for the AVR 335, but it is the “Favorite” button for many cable television boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay button for the AVR 335, but the Open/Close button for CD players

NOTE: The numbers used to show the button func tions in Figure 15 for the purposes of describing how a button operates are a different set of numbers than those used in the rest of this manual to describe the button functions for the

Notes on Using the AVR 335 Remote With Other Devices:

• Manufacturers may use different code sets for the

same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see whether the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see whether another code set will work with more buttons.

When a button is pressed on the AVR 335 remote,

• the red light under the the product being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed.
