2 TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon
AVR5000 you are about to begin many years of
listening enjoyment. The AVR5000 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and
detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance
of musical selections.With onboard Dolby*
Digital and DTS
†
decoding, the AVR5000 delivers
six discrete channels of audio that take advantage of the digital sound tracks from the latest
DVD and LD releases and Digital Television
broadcasts.
While complex digital systems are hard at work
within the AVR5000 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed
connections, a backlit,programmable and learning remote control, and on-screen menus make
the AVR5000 easy to use. To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we
urge you to take the time 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 AVR5000 is able to
deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its
installation or its operation, please contact your
dealer. He is your best local source of information.
Description and Features
The AVR5000 is among the most versatile and
multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorporating a wide range of listening options.In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of analog surround
modes are available for use with sources such as
CD,VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s own
FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic*,
Dolby 3 Stereo, 5 Ch Stereo and custom Hall and
Theater modes,only Harman Kardon receivers
offer Logic 7
®
to create a wider, more enveloping
field environment and more defined fly-overs
and pans.
Finally, the AVR5000 is among the very few A/V
receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so
that you may listen to the latest music selections
directly from compatible computers or playback
devices with the power and fidelity you expect
from Harman Kardon.
Another Harman Kardon exclusive is VMAx
™,
which uses proprietary processing to create an
open, spacious sound field even when only two
front speakers are available.
The AVR 5000 is also able to offer HDCD
®
decoding to provide the most realistic playback
of CDs when a digital connection is used, even
with a normal non-HDCD-compatible CD or DVD
player.
In addition to providing a wide range of listening
options, the AVR5000 is easy to configure so
that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environment.
On-screen menus make it simple to enter settings for speakers,inputs and delay times, while
our exclusive EzSet™ remote measures a system‘s sound levels and automatically calibrates
them for perfectly balanced soundfield presentation.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR5000 features connections for five video devices, all with
both composite and S-Video inputs.Two additional audio inputs are available, and a total of
six digital inputs make the AVR5000 capable of
handling all the latest digital audio sources.
For compatibility with the latest DVD players and
digital video products, the AVR5000 also features component video switching. Coax and
optical digital outputs are available for direct
connection to digital recorders, and both the
front panel analog audio/video and the coaxial
digital jacks may be switched to an output for
use with portable recorders – a Harman Kardon
exclusive.Two video recording outputs, preampout/main-in jacks, and a six channel input make
the AVR5000 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new
formats right on board.
The AVR5000’s flexibility and power extend
beyond your main home theater or listening
room. The AVR includes a sophisticated multizone control system that allows you to select
one source for use in the main room and a different one in a second room. Left and right front
channel audio is routed to the remote room
location, with complete control over volume provided by a separate infrared control link.To
make it easy to operate the AVR 5000 from a
remote room, a separate Zone II remote is
included.
The AVR5000’s powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon high-current design
technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of
any program selection.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than forty-seven years ago.With stateof-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit
designs, the AVR5000 is one of the finest
receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

INTRODUCTION 3
Safety Information
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR5000 has been designed for use with
220-240-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 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 depot 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
station.
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.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry
immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use
benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any
other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish
of metal parts.Avoid spraying insecticide near
the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any interconnection cords with other
components, and make certain that you
disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to
protect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and
vibration.We suggest that you save the carton
and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by
carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom
and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner.
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed
should be saved along with the carton in a
plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging
materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping protection are
recyclable. Please respect the environment and
discard those materials at a local recycling
center.

Installation and Connections
After unpacking the unit, 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.
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.
When making connections to audio source
equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet.
This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers
that may damage them.
1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to
the CD inputs
NOTE:When the CD player has both fixed and
variable 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 the signal 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
Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape
Output jacks
3. Connect the output of any digital sources to
the appropriate input connections on the
AVR5000 front or rear panel. Note that the
Optical and Coaxial digital inputs

5. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with
the unit as shown below. Connect it to the AM
and GND screw terminals
6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM
(75 ohm) connection
be an external roof antenna, an inside powered
or wire lead antenna or a connection from a
cable system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must
use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the
connection.

7. Connect the front, center and surround speaker outputs
to the respective speakers.
To assure 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

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 electrical contractor who is familiar with
the applicable local building codes in your area.
When connecting wires to the speakers,be certain to observe proper polarity. Remember to
connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the
same terminal on both the receiver and the
speaker. Similarly, the “positive” or “red” wire
should be connected to like terminals on the
AVR5000 and speaker.
NOTE:While most speaker manufacturers
adhere to an industry convention of using black
terminals for negative and red ones for positive,
some manufacturers may vary from this configuration.To assure 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 the speaker’s manufacturer.
We also recommend that the length of cable
used 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
AVR5000.
8. Connections to a subwoofer are normally
made via a line level audio connection from the
Subwoofer Output
to the line-level input
of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. When a
passive subwoofer is used, the connection first
goes to a power amplifier, which will be con-
nected to one or more subwoofer speakers.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.
Note: Speaker sets with two front satellites and
a passive subwoofer must be connected to the

Video Equipment Connections
Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio components.Again, the use of highquality interconnect cables is recommended to
preserve signal quality.To ensure best video performance S-Video sources should be connected
to the AVR5000 only with their S-Video In/
Outputs, not with their composite video connectors too.

Video Connection Notes:
• Y/Pr/Pb Component,S-Video or Composite
video signals may only be viewed in their
native formats and will not be converted to
the other formats. But the OSD can be viewed
on the TV screen in any case, with Video or
S-Video input selected on the TV.
• When the component video jacks are used,
the on-screen menus will not be visible.You
must switch to the standard composite or
S-Video input on your TV to view those menus.
• The AVR 5000’s component video system is
designed for standard video rate video from
DVD players and similar devices.While it may
operate with high definition signals, the video
quality may be slightly less than with a direct
connection between the DVD and your TV.
• All component inputs/outputs can be used for
RGB signals too, in the same way as described
for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the
jacks with the corresponding color.
But this is only true as long as only the three
RGB lines are used and not any sync signal is
output separately from the source.
to the
SCART A/V Connections
For the connections described above your video
device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and SVideo connectors for all Audio and Video signals:
Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8)
for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks,VCRs for
record and playback even 6 RCA jacks.Any SVideo device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA
(Audio) and 1 S-Video jack (Video), if it´s a
playback unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and
2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording
VCR.
Many european video devices are equipped with
RCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially,not
for all audio and video in/outputs needed as
described above, but with a so called Scart or
Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with
21 pins, see drawings on next page).
In that case the following Scart to Cinch
adapters or cables are needed:
• Units for playback, such as satellite receivers,
camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an
adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig.1
(normal video devices) or from Scart to 2
RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video
devices).
• HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6
RCA plugs, see fig.2 (normal video), or from
Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig.5
(S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction
attached to the adapter to find which of the
six plugs is used for the record signal to the
VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and
for the playback signal from the VCR (connect
with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect
Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to
consult your dealer, if you are uncertain.
• If you use only normal video devices the TV
monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs
to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are
used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs
to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6),
connected to the SCART input on your TV that
is provided for S-Video.
Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow"
cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig.
6) must be connected to the TV Monitor
Output
, and the volume on the TV must be
reduced to minimum.
Important Note for Adapter Cables:
If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll use
are labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In”
plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video
”In” jacks on the AVR5000 (and with a VCR
connect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks on
the AVR). Note that with some adapter types it
may be just turned around: If no signal is audible/ visible when the VCR is playing connect the
“Out” plugs to the ”In” jacks on the AVR and
turned around. If the adapter plugs are not
labeled in that way,pay attention to the signal
flow directions as shown in the diagrams above
and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If
uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.
Important Notes for S-Video connections:
1. Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devices
must be connected to the AVR, NOT both, normal video and S-Video In/Outputs (except the TV,
see item below).
2. Like most common AV units the AVR5000
does not convert the Video signal to S-Video or
vice versa. Thus both connections must be made
from the AVR5000 to the TV if both, Video and
S-Video sources, are used, and the appropriate
input on the TV must be selected.

Important Note for the Use of
SCART-Cinch Adapters:
When video sources are connected to the TV
directly with a SCART cable, specific control signals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed
to the TV.These specific signals are:With all
video sources, the signal for automatic input
selection that switches the TV automatically to
the appropriate input as soon as the video
source is started. And with DVD players, the signals automatically turning the TV to 16:9 format
(with switchable 4:3 TVs) and turning the RGB
video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on
the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable,
these control signals will be lost and the appropriate setting of the TV must be made manually.
Note for RGB signal with SCART:
If you use a unit providing RGB signals on a
SCART output (as e.g. most DVD players do) and
you want to use that RGB signal, this SCART
output must be connected directly to your TV.
Although the AVR 5000 RDS can switch threeway video signals (like component signals
Y/Pb/Pr), most TVs need separate sync signals
for RGB (also with SCART) that cannot be
switched and provided by the AVR 5000.
RGB signals can be pathed through
the AVR5000 only when no separate sync
signal is needed (see 4
th
”Video Connection
Note” on page 16).

Installation and Connections
System and Power Connections
The AVR5000 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, the remote sensor of any Harman
Kardon or other compatible device, not covered
by the door, or an optional remote sensor may
be used. Connect the Remote IR Output of
that device or 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
jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible
equipment.
NOTE:All remotely controlled components must
be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the
IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next
to establish this chain.
Multiroom IR Link
The key to remote room operation is to link the
remote room to the AVR5000’s location with
wire for an infrared receiver and speakers or an
amplifier. The remote room IR receiver (this can be
an optional IR receiver or any other remotable
Harman Kardon device in the remote room with
IR sensor integrated) should be connected to the
AVR5000 via standard coaxial cable. Connect the
Remote IR Output of the device or of the
optional sensor with the Multiroom IR Input
jack

If other Harman Kardon compatible source
equipment is part of the main room installation,
the Remote IR Output jack
panel should be connected to the IR IN jack on
that source device.This will enable the remote
room location to control source equipment functions.

Multiroom Audio Connections
Depending on the distance from the AVR5000
to the remote room, two options (A and B) are
available for audio connection:
Option 1: Use high-quality,shielded stereo
audio interconnect cable with phono plugs on
both ends from the AVR5000’s location to the
remote room. At the remote room, connect the
interconnect cable to a stereo power amplifier.
The amplifier will be connected to the room’s
speakers.No volume control is required, as the
AVR5000 and the remote IR link will provide
that function. At the AVR5000, plug the audio
interconnect cables into the Multi-Room
Output jacks
Option 2: Place the amplifier that will provide
power to the remote location speakers in the
same room as the AVR5000, and connect the
Multiroom Output jacks
of the AVR to the audio input of the remote
room amplifier. Use the appropriate speaker wire
to connect the optional power amplifier to the
remote speakers. High-quality wire of at least
2.5 mm
connections.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside walls
should carry any certification that is required by
the local building and electrical codes.To avoid
interference, audio and speaker cables should not
be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path
with,AC cables. If you have any questions about
multiroom wiring, consult your dealer, custom
installer or low-voltage electrical contractor.
External Audio Power Amplifier
Connections
If desired, the AVR 5000 may be connected to
optional, external audio power amplifiers or
used with equalizers or speaker systems that
require connection between the preamp and
amplifier sections of a receiver.
To make these connections, remove the jumpers
that connect the Preamp Out jacks

amplifiers or devices are used, volume is still
controlled by the AVR, although additional volume controls on the external device may affect
volume and output levels from the AVR.
External Audio Decoder Connection
To provide for ultimate flexibility, the AVR5000
may be used in conjunction with optional, external decoders for digital audio systems other than
the AVR5000’s own built-in Dolby Digital and
DTS decoding system or with DVD players having those decoders integrated. If an external
decoder is used, connect the output jacks of the
decoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs
making sure to match channels.
These jacks may also be used for connections to
devices such as DVD players or High Definition
Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature
built-in digital surround decoders.Although the
digital decoding system in the AVR5000 will typically provide audio performance that is superior to
other decoders, you may use these jacks to provide
an additional 6-channel input for connection to a
DVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoder
and discrete 6-channel analog outputs.
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 highcurrent draw equipment such as power amplifiers.The total power draw to the Unswitched
Outlet
must not exceed 100 watts, that to
