Introduction

1

Congratulations! With the purchase of the Harman Kardon AVR35 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR35 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie sound tracks and every subtle nuance of musical selections. With on-board Dolby* Digital Decoding, the AVR35 delivers six discrete channels of audio that take advantage of the digital sound tracks from the latest DVD and LV releases, as well as future HDTV broadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard at work within the AVR35 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections and a comprehensive programmable remote control make the AVR35 easy to use.

To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will ensure that connections to speakers, source playback units and other external devices are made properly. In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the AVR35 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or operation, please contact your dealer. They are your best local source of information.

Description and Features

The AVR35 is a full-featured A/V receiver, incorporating a wide variety of listening options. In addition to Dolby Digital decoding, Dolby Pro Logic* and Dolby 3 Stereo are available for compatibility with the tens of thousands of movies and television programs encoded with analog surround information. A choice of Hall and Theater modes is also available for use with both encoded sources and traditional two-channel stereo recordings.

A total of four audio/video inputs, as well as two additional audio-only inputs, and an FM stereo/FM/AM tuner are available for the utmost flexibility. Front-panel A/V inputs simplify connections to video games or camcorders.

The AVR35’s powerful amplifiers use traditional Harman Kardon High-Current Design philosophies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the highfidelity receiver more than forty-five years ago. With state-of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR35 is one of the finest receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

Your AVR35 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 with cords 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 staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.

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 static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements of the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

Installation Location

■To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

■Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may be required.

■Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

■Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR35’s remote may be programmed to control up to five additional devices, including the AVR35. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Device Control Selector button bcthat corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR35’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR35 and Harman Kardon CD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions on pages 28–29 to program the proper codes for the products in your system.

It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depending on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR35. (See pages 28–31 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

aProgram/Command Indicator:

This LED is used as an indicator to assist in programming the remote control. (See pages 28–31 for more information on programming the AVR35.)

bAVR Selector: Press this button to use the remote control for operation of the AVR35. Note that the button will briefly turn red after it has been pressed to confirm your selection.

cDevice Control Selectors:

Press one of these buttons to use the remote to control the functions of another audio/video device. Note that the button will briefly turn red after it has been pressed to confirm your

selection. (See pages 28–31 for information on programming the AVR35’s remote to operate these devices.)

dPower Button: Press this button to turn the currently selected device on or off.

eSleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR35 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order:

			90				80				70				60				50			40
			min				min				min				min				min			min
		30				20				10				5				1				OFF
			min				min				min				min				min

fChannel ⁄/ ¤ Buttons:

When the remote is being used to control a TV, VCR or Cable box, press these buttons to change the channel being viewed.

gSurround Mode Selector: Press this button to begin the process of changing the surround mode. After the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/ ¤ buttons hto select the desired surround mode. (See page 24 for more information.)

h⁄/ ¤ Buttons: These are multipurpose buttons. They will be used most frequently to select a surround mode. To change the surround mode, first press the SURR button g. Next press these buttons to scroll up or down through the list of surround modes that appear in the Information Display 33. (See page 24 for more information.) These buttons are also used to increase or decrease output levels used to lower the AVR35’s output levels when configuring the unit with either the internal test tone or

an external source. (See pages 19 and 26 for more information.) They are also used to enter delay time settings after the Delay button x has been pressed. (See page 20 for more information.)

i‹/Channel Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR35’s output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the ⁄/ ¤ buttons h to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button j, followed by the ⁄/ ¤ buttons again to change the level letting. (See page 27 for more information.)

jSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR35’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment. (See pages 17–21 for complete information.)

kNight Mode: Press this button to activate the “Night” mode, preventing loud playback when the digital modes are in use without altering the dynamic range of the output signal.

lSource Selectors: Press these buttons to select an input source for the AVR35. The AM/FM button is also used to switch between frequency bands when the tuner is in use.

NOTE: Pressing one of these buttons selects the source only. In order to control the actual source machine using the remote you must press the

Device Control Selector button c for the desired product.

m+10 Button: This button does not have a function for the AVR35, but when the remote is used to control certain CD players, TV sets and VCRs it may be used to select tracks or channel numbers

nNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also to be used to select channel numbers when TV has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed.
