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.

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.

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 recommend that you use a cable constructed of fine, multistrand copper with an area greater than 2 mm

Cable with an area of 1.5 mm

may be used for short runs of less than 4 m.We do not recommend that you use cables with an area less than

1mm

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

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

”Video Connection

Note” on page 16).

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 17

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 Amplifier In jacks used with external devices. Store the jumpers in a safe place so that the AVR may be used in its normal mode at a future date, if desired.

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

Center Front Speaker

When all audio, video and system connections have been made, 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

No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the front-left, center and front-right 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

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

Depending on the type of center-channel speaker in 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 left-front and right-front 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 60cm above or below the tweeter in the center-channel speaker.

They should also be at least 0.5 meter from your TV set unless the speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid colourings on the TV screen. Note that most speakers are not shielded, even with complete surround sets only the Center speaker may be.

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 front-left and front-right 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.

Surround speakers should be placed on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. The center of the speaker should face you.

If side-wall mounting is not practical, the speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. The speakers should be no more than two meters behind the rear of the seating area.

Subwoofers produce largely 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 15cm from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer in the spot where you will normally sit, 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 CONFIGURATION 19

System Configuration

First Turn On and Use of the OSD

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configuration memories. With the AVR5000 two kind of memories are used, those associated individually with the input selected, e.g.surround modes, and others working independently from any input selected like speaker output levels, crossover frequencies or delay times used by the surround sound processor.

You are now ready to power up the AVR5000 to begin these final adjustments.

1. Plug the Power Cable switched AC outlet.

2. Press the Main Power Switch latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the Power Indicator indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on the bottom of the battery compartment.

4.Turn the AVR5000 on either by pressing the

Information Display Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find them easier to make via the unit’s onscreen display system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear picture of the current status of the unit and facilitate speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are making.

To view the on-screen displays,make certain you have made a connection from the Video Monitor Out jack composite or S-Video input of your TV or projector. In order to view the AVR’s displays, the correct video input must be selected on your video display.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the displays on a projection TV it is important that they not be left on the screen for an extended period of time. As with any video display,but particularly with

The AVR5000 has two on-screen display modes, “Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configuration adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place a complete status report or option listing on the screen, making it easier to view the available options and make the settings on the screen.The Semi-OSD mode uses one-line displays only.

The full OSD system is always available by pressing the OSD button

. When this button is pressed the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are made from the individual menus. Note that the menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds after the latest action was made on the screen menu, then they will “time-out” and disappear from the screen. The time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds by going to the ADVANCED SELECT menu, and changing the item titled FULL OSD TIME OUT.

The semi-OSD system is also available as a system default, although it may be turned off by using the ADVANCED SELECT menu. (See page 37). With the semi-OSD system, you may make adjustments directly, by pressing the buttons on the front panel or remote control for the specific parameter to be adjusted as outlined above.

Settings to be Made With Each Input Used

The AVR5000 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker configuration,digital input and surround mode for each input source. This flexibility enables you to custom tailor the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR5000 memorize them. This means, for example, that you may associate different surround modes and analog or digital inputs with 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 an input.

The default settings for the AVR5000, as it is shipped from the factory, have all inputs set for an analog source, with stereo as the surround mode, the front left and right speakers set to “large” (with surround modes other speakers to ”small”), and a subwoofer connected. Before using the unit, you will probably want to change these settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed and the surround mode specifics. Remember, since the AVR5000’s memory system keeps the settings for each input separate from the other inputs, 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 as 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 remaining inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configuration data in the order these items are listed in the Main Audio Setup Menu, as some settings require a specific entry in a prior menu item.

The items that follow will describe the individual settings required for each input. Remember that once the settings are made for one input, they must be made for all other input sources in your system.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to switch front panel jacks from their normal use as inputs to output connections so that portable recording devices may easily be connected. The front panel analog Video 4 Jacks

are normally set as an input for use with camcorders, video games and other portable audio/video products, but they may be switched to an output for connection to portable audio/video recorders.To temporarily switch them to outputs, select the IN/OUT SETUP menu. Press the the on-screen

indicating that the jack is now a record output. Note: A signal will be sent to this jack only

when the input selected for use by the AVR5000 is digital. Digital signals will be passed through regardless of their format, and which digital input (optical or coax) they are fed from. However, analog signals are not converted to digital, and the format of the signal (e.g.,PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may not be changed.

Selection of the Digital Coax 3 jack as an output will remain effective as long as the AVR 5000 is on. However, once the unit is turned off,the jack will revert to its normal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.

Surround Setup

Once the input setup has been completed, the next step for that input is to set the surround mode you wish to use with that input. Since surround modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. The Surround Mode chart on page 28 may help you select the mode best suited to the input source selected. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR5000, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic 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,if that is your preferred listening mode for standard stereo sources, where it is unlikely that sur-

round encoded material will be used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or

Logic 7 Music mode may also be a good choice for stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the main MASTER MENU menu (Figure 1), press the

⁄/¤ button

until the › cursor is

next to the SURROUND SETUP menu. Press the Set button

so that the SURROUND SETUP menu (Figure 3 or 4) is on the screen.

Note that the data lines next to the items in the screen display will show either numbers or a series of dashes, depending on whether or not the specific parameter is adjustable.For example, the Center Delay and Night Mode items are only adjustable for Dolby Digital, and the Delay Time is only adjusted for Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic. Note,also, that Dolby Digital and DTS will only appear as choices (Figure 4) when a digital input was previously selected.These settings for Delay, Crossover Frequency and Night mode, that are independent of any input selected, will be described in the next chapter on page 23.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 21

System Configuration

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR5000 which type of speakers are in use.This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which speakers receive low frequency (bass) information. For each of these settings use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when “small”front (left and right) speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers,consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer. Remember that the speaker setup must be made individually for each input of the AVR5000.

It is best to select the Dolby Pro Logic mode for making the speaker setup.You should note the surround mode you´ve associated with the selected input, select the Dolby Pro Logic mode and after the speaker setup was made with that input, reset to the surround mode formerly selected. Note that with the currently selected input all settings will be copied to other surround modes too (as far as possible) and need not be repeated with any other mode (but with each input used).

1. It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5). If that menu is not alredy on your screen from the prior adjustments, press the OSD button

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and with analog and digital surround modes NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.

When NONE is selected, no signal will be sent to the center channel output. The receiver will operate in a “phantom” center channel mode and center channel information will be sent to the left and right front channel outputs.This mode is needed if no Center speaker is used (note that for the use of Logic 7C surround mode a Center speaker is needed, but Logic 7M works well without a Center too).

on the remote to select the option that best describes the surround speakers in your system based on the speaker definitions shown on this page.

When SMALL is selected, low frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts, when Sub is turned off,or to the subwoofer output when Sub is on. With Pro Logic mode, there is no bass in the surround channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs (with all analog and digital surround modes),

and, except with Hall and Theater modes, NO surround channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer output.

When NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front-left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic.

When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for “none” or “no” speaker.

Note: These icons are available only when making setup changes in the semi-OSD mode.

As an example, in Figure 6 below, the left front and right front speakers are set for “large,” the center, left surround and right surround speakers are set for small, and a subwoofer is set.

Adjustments for Other Inputs

After one input has been adjusted for surround mode, digital input (if any) and speaker type, return to the INPUT SETUP line on the AUDIO SETUP menu and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input.

Making Settings independent of selected Input

After the settings described above have been made for all input sources in your system, the following settings, made with any input,will remain in effect independent of the input selected. In order to set delay time for Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic surround modes, the OSD menu system must be used.

Delay Settings

Only for the Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic modes, you will need to adjust the delay time setting. Note that the delay time is not adjustable for any other modes.

Important Note: Once the delay time is set with any input it will be effective with all other inputs too. Moreover the surround delay time setting must be made only for either the Dolby Pro Logic or the Dolby Digital mode.The other setting will be set automatically.

Due 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 or surround speakers is different.You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater.

The factory setting is appropriate for most rooms, but some installations create an uncommon distance between the front and surround speakers that may cause the arrival of front channel sounds to become disconnected from surround channel sounds.

To resynchronize the front and surround channels, follow these steps:

1. Measure the distance from the listening/ viewing position to the front speakers in meters.

2. Measure the distance from the listening/ viewing position to the surround speakers.

3. Subtract the distance to the surround speakers from the distance to the front speakers and multiply the result by 3.

a.When setting the delay time for the Dolby

Digital surround modes, the optimal delay time is the result of that subtraction. For example, if the front speakers are 3 m away and the surround speakers are 1 m away, the optimal delay time is figured as (3–1)x3=6. Thus, in this example, the delay time for Dolby Digital should be set at six milliseconds.

b.When setting the delay time for the Pro Logic

mode, take the result of the subtraction and add 15 to obtain the optimal delay time. For example, if the front speakers are 3 m away

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 23

System Configuration

and the surround speakers are 1 m away, the optimal delay time is figured as (3–1)x3+15=21. Thus, in this example, the Pro Logic delay should be set at twenty milliseconds.

NOTE: The DTS, Logic 7, 5CH Stereo, Hall and Theater modes use a fixed, nonadjustable delay time.

The Dolby Digital Mode also includes a separate setting for the center channel delay mode, since the discrete nature of these signals makes the location of the center channel speaker more critical. To calculate the delay for the center channel, measure the distance from the preferred listening position in the center of the room to both the center channel speaker and either the left or right speaker.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustment is required and the center delay should be set to zero. If the distance to the front speakers is greater than the distance to the center speaker, you may wish to reposition the speakers by moving the front left and front right speakers closer to the listening position or the center speaker further away from the listening position.

If repositioning of the speakers is not possible, adjust the center delay time, adding one millisecond of center channel delay for every 30 cm closer to the listening position the center speaker is than the front speakers.For example, if the front left and front right speakers are each 3 m from the listening position and the center channel speaker is 2.4 m away, the delay is figured as 300 cm –240 cm=60 cm, suggesting an optimal center delay of 2 milliseconds.

To set the delay time,continue within the MASTER MENU (Figure 1). If the system is not already at that point, press the OSD button

to bring up the master menu.To make the delay settings for the Dolby Digital mode (this will include the Center delay setting, and the surround delay for the Pro Logic mode will be set automatically), press the Set

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration process for any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a Dolby Digital receiver such as the AVR5000, as correct outputs will ensure that you hear sound tracks with the proper directionality and intensity.

NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels.While 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 ambiance, 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level can be adjusted for each digital and analog surround mode separately.This allows you to compensate for level differences between speakers,that may also vary with the surround mode selected, or to increase or decrease the level of certain speakers intentionally, depending on the surround mode selected.

Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made.The system volume should be turned down at first. Finally, make certain that the Balance Control

set to the center “12 o’clock” position.

24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

System Configuration

Using EzSet

Harman Kardon’s exclusive EzSet remote makes it possible to quickly and accurately set the AVR5000’s output levels without the use of a sound pressure meter, although manual adjustment is also available. However, for the easiest set-up, follow these steps while seated in the listening position that will be used most often:

1. Make certain that all speaker positions have been properly configured for their “large” or “small” settings (as outlined above) and turn off the OSD system if it is in use.

2. Adjust the volume so that it is at -15,as shown in the on-screen display or Main

Information Display

3. Select any input associated with the Dolby Pro Logic surround mode. Remember to make the same adjustment with all other surround modes you´ve associated with the inputs used.

4. First a non-automatic pre-test should be made: Turn on the internal test tone by pressing the Test tone button

. You will hear a test noise circulate from speaker to speaker in a clockwise direction around the room.

Listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Main

Information Display

. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated, turn the AVR5000 off using the Main

Power Switch

and check the speaker wiring to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal.

5. Hold the remote in front of you at arm’s length, making sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone



at the top of the remote and aim it at the AVR5000, not vertically (like you’d do with a microphone).

6. Press and hold the SPL Indicator Select



for three seconds. Release the button when

the Program/SPL Indicator

stops flashing and you hear the test noise from the front left speaker.

7. At this point, the EzSet circuitry will take over, adjusting the output level of each channel so that when the process is complete all levels will be equal and at the set reference point. This process may take a few minutes,depending on the extent of adjustment required.

8. During the adjustment you will see the location of the channel position being adjusted appear in both the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display

, alternating with a readout of the output setting, relative to the reference volume level. As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously:

• The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Position Indicators

. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the Indicator, there is an error in the speaker connections.If this is the case, press the Test Button

TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper Outputs



• When the front left channel is being set at the beginning of the process, EzSet will adjust the main volume level, as shown by the indication of the FRONT L LEV alternating in the onscreen display (if connected) and the Main

Information Display

with the volume indication. During the adjustment, the test tone may seem to pulse, or click,as EzSet changes the level. This is a normal aspect of the system’s operation.

• As the other channels are set, the channel name and the adjustment offset will appear in the on-screen display (if connected) and the

Main Information Display is changing, the Program/SPL Indicator

. While the level

will change colors to reflect the output level in relation to the reference.A red indication shows that the level is too high, while an amber indication shows that the level is too low.When the Indicator is green, the level is correct, and the test noise will move to the next channel.

• While adjustments are being made, the red LED under the AVR Selector

will flash. This is normal, and indicates that EzSet is operating.

9. After the test noise has circulated once through each channel, it will send the tone to the front left channel once again, to finally adjust its output level.

10. Upon completion of the front left channel adjustment, the Program/SPL Indicator will flash green three times and then go out. The tone will stop and the AVR5000 will return to normal operation.

Manual Output Level Adjustment

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 remote.

Manual output level adjustment is most easily done through the OUTPUT ADJUST menu (Figure 7). If you are already at the main menu, press the screen

As soon as the new menu appears, you will hear a test noise circulate from speaker to speaker in a clockwise direction around the room. The test noise will play for two seconds in each speaker before circulating, and a blinking on-screen cursor will appear next to the name of each speaker location when the sound is at that speaker. Now turn up the volume until you can hear the noise clearly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this test noise will have a much lower level than normal music, the volume must be lowered after the adjustment for all channels is made, but BEFORE you return to the main menu and the test tone turns off.

After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference,press the

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjustment made will be effective for all inputs, but only for the actual surround mode selected. To be effective for any other mode select that mode (with any input) and repeat the level adjustment described above.This will also allow you to compensate level differences between speakers,that may be different with each surround mode, or to increase or decrease the level of certain speakers intentionally, depending on the surround mode selected.

Note: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off mode, as no surround speakers are used (so level differences between the speakers in the room cannot occur). But to compensate level differences between stereo,VMAx and other surround modes (independently from the input selected) the outputs can be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustment procedure, see page 32,also for the Surround Off (Stereo) and VMAx modes.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR5000 is ready for operation.While there are some additional settings to be made, these are best done after you have had an opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and different kinds of program material. These advanced settings are described on pages 36-37 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings made in the initial configuration of the unit may be changed at any time. As you add new or different sources or speakers, or if you wish to change a setting to better reflect your listening taste, simply follow the instructions for changing the settings for that parameter as shown above. Note that any settings changed at any time, also when the discrete buttons are used only, will be stored in memory in the AVR5000, also if it´s turned off completely, unless it will be reset (see page 56). The settings will either depend on the input (Speaker configuration, analog/digital input selection, surround mode) or on the surround mode selected (speaker output level) or be independent from any input or surround mode (crossover, only depending on the front speaker configuration), as described on previous pages. Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR5000, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!

Operation

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR5000 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround encoded programs and standard stereo or even mono programs. In all, a total of thirteen listening modes are available on the AVR5000.

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, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo played in either the Dolby 3 Stereo or Dolby Pro Logic surround modes depending on the source material and speakers in use.

However to create wider, enveloping sound field environments and more defined pans and flyovers with all analog stereo and surround recordings select Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 mode, that creates a stereophonic left and right rear signal, just as recorded in real life (e.g. sound being recorded from left rear side will be heard from that side only) for a dramatic improvement in comparison to Dolby Pro Logic.

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 Pro Logic or Logic 7, 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. You may view a list of these programs at the Dolby Laboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional surround information, you may find that the Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo or Logic 7 modes often deliver enveloping surround presentations through the use of the natural surround information present in all stereo recordings. However, for stereo programs without any surround information the Theater, Hall and 5CH Stereo modes should be tried (5CH Stereo is effective particularly with old ”extreme” stereo recordings) and for mono programs,we suggest that you try the Theater or Hall modes. And when you use only two front channel speakers you should select Harman’s patented VMAx mode, delivering a virtually three dimensional sound space with two speakers only.

Surround modes are selected using either the front panel controls or the remote.To select a surround mode from the front panel, press the

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over past 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 descibed as “5.1”.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 (originally known as AC-3 a standard part of DVD, and is available on specially encoded LD discs and satellite broadcasts and it is a part of the new high-definition television (HDTV) system.

Note that an optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the AVR5000 to listen to the Dolby Digital sound tracks 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 Optical or Coaxial inputs

of the AVR5000. No

DTS

DTS is another digital audio system that is capable of delivering 5.1 audio.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 sound tracks are available on select DVD and LD discs, as well as on special audioonly DTS CDs.You may use any LD, DVD or CD player equipped with a digital output to play DTS-encoded special audio-only CDs with the AVR5000, but DTS-LDs can be played on LD players and DTS-DVDs on DVD players only.All that is required is to connect the player’s output to either the Optical or Coaxial input on the rear panel



or front panel

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS sound tracks, the DVD player must be compatible with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo on the player’s front panel. Note that early DVD players may not be able to play DTS- encoded DVDs.This does not indicate a problem with the AVR5000, 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 DVDs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.

PCM Audio Playback

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non- compressed digital audio system used for compact discs, Non-Dolby Digital/DTS Laserdiscs and some special PCM encoded DVDs.The digital circuits in the AVR5000 are capable of high quality digitalto-analog decoding, and they may be connected directly to the digital audio output of your CD/DVD or LD player (LD only for PCM or DTS programs, for Dolby Digital laser discs an RF adapter is needed, see ”Dolby Digital” above).

Playback from PCM sources may also benefit from the Logic 7. When playing a stereo or surround-encoded PCM source, such as an LD or CD or a PCM audio track from DVD, use the Logic 7 C or Cinema mode. For stereo or surround encoded pure music recordings use the Logic 7 M or Music mode for a wider front sound stage (see Surround Mode Chart page 28).

HDCD

HDCD, which stands for High Definition Compatible Digital

, is a sophisticated process that enables the AVR 5000 to deliver outstanding digital-to-analog decoding of PCM signals from any DVD or CD player, connected to a digital input on the AVR 5000, no matter what type of CD or DVD is played and even when normal, Non-HDCD-compatible players are used (only a digital output is needed).

When a CD with the HDCD logo is played, the AVR 5000 is able to take advantage of the special recording process that is used in the creation of HDCD disc. The special circuitry enables audio with extraordinary fidelity,stunning resolution and the highest possible overall quality.

The AVR 5000 will automatically sense that it is an HDCD recording and the HDCD indicator

will illuminate on the front panel to remind

you that an HDCD disc is playing.

It is important to note that the HDCD process is completely compatible with standard recordings. Indeed, the high-quality digital-to-analog circuitry that is part of HDCD and the HDCD decoder chip, replacing the monolithic digital filters used in conventional DACs, will enable enhanced performance also with normal, non-HDCD encoded program material.

MP3 Audio Playback

The AVR5000 is one of the first A/V receivers to provide on-board decoding for the MP3 audio format used on specific computer audio files and by portable MP3 players/recorders. In addition, some new CD and DVD players are capable of playing back optical discs that are recorded with MP3, rather than standard CD audio information. By offering MP3 decoding, the AVR5000 is able to deliver more precise conversion of the digital signals to an analog output, along with the benefits of listening to MP3 audio through the AVR5000’s high current amplifier and the speakers from your surround system, rather than the smaller speakers and low powered amplifiers typically used with computers.

To take advantage of the AVR5000’s MP3 capabilities, simply connect the PCM output of a computer sound card able to feed the MP3 format to its digital output, or the PCM output of MP3 compatible CD or DVD players or of a portable MP3 player with a digital output, to either the rear panel Digital Inputs



or the front

panel Digital Inputs

. When the digital

MP3 signal is selected, the MP3 Bitstream

Indicator

will light, and the audio will begin

playing.

NOTES:

• The AVR5000 is only capable of playing signals in the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format. It is not compatible with other computer audio codecs.

• The MP 3 DSP mode found in the new AVR5000 requires an MP3 SPDIF stream. Presently, only a few units provide this but in the coming generations of motherboards and operating system updates this will follow, since SPDIF is the standard for audio & video hardware.

• The digital audio input signal may be either optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in the PCM format. Direct connection of USB or serial data outputs is not possible, even though the signals are in the MP3 format. If you have any questions about the data output format from your computer or a sound card, check with the device’s Owner’s Manual or contact the manufacturer’s technical support area.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode you must have properly connected a digital source to the AVR5000. Connect the digital outputs from DVD players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD players to the Optical or Coaxial inputs on the rear or front panel

#%

. 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 AVR5000 rear panel (e.g., connect the analog stereo audio output from a DVD to the DVD inputs



on the rear panel when you connect the source’s digital outputs).

When playing a digital source such as DVD, first select its input using the remote or front panel controls as outlined in this manual in order to feed its video signal (if any) to the TV monitor and to provide its analog audio signal for recording. When the digital input appropriate with the DVD player is not selected automatically (due to the input settings made earlier during the system configuration, see page 21), select the digital source by pressing the Digital Input Selector button

or on-screen display. When the digital source is playing, the AVR5000 will automatically detect whether it is a multichannel Dolby Digital or DTS source or a HDCD, MP3 or conventional PCM signal, which is the standard output from CD players.A Bitstream

Indicator

will light in the Main

Information Display

to confirm that the digital signal is Dolby Digital, DTS,MP3, PCM or HDCD. Note that a digital input (e.g. coaxial) remains associated with any analog input (e.g. DVD) as soon as it is selected, thus the digital input need not be re-selected each time the appropriate input choice (e.g. DVD) is made.

Digital Status Indicators

When a digital source is playing, the AVR5000 senses the type of bitstream data that is present. Using this information, the correct surround mode will automatically 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 and LDs and some music DVDs or certain tracks on normal DVDs,it will allow the appropriate surround mode to be selected manually. Since the range of available surround modes depends on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR5000 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 and the input channels recorded on the disc.

When a digital source is playing, a Bitstream

Indicator

will light to show which type of

signal is playing:

DOLBY D: When the DOLBY D indicator lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being received. Depending on the audio track selected on the source player and number of channels on the disc, different surround modes are possible.Note that only one channel without subwoofer, called ”1.0” audio,or all five channels with subwoofer (”5.1” audio) or all steps between can be recorded on digitally surround encoded audio tracks (see NOTE below).With all those tracks, except ”2.0” audio,only the Dolby Digital and VMAx modes are available.When the Dolby Digital signal is only two channel (”2.0”) these two channels (l and r) often contain Pro Logic surround informations.With those tracks the AVR5000 automatically switches to the Pro Logic mode, but you may also select the Vmax mode.

DTS: When the DTS indicator lights, a DTS bitstream is being received.When the unit senses this type of data, only the DTS mode may be used.

PCM: When the PCM indicator lights, a standard Pulse Code Modulation, or PCM, signal is being received.This is the type of digital audio used by conventional compact disc and laser disc recordings.When a PCM bitstream is present, all modes except Dolby Digital and DTS are available.Note that the PCM signal format can be selected on the DVD player with any audio track, even with Dolby Digital tracks (but not with Dolby Digital decoding). So,if selected, even ”2.0” D.D. audio tracks

30 OPERATION

Operation

can be played with all surround modes, also with the most effective Logic 7.

: When this indicator lights in conjunction with the PCM indicator, the CD that is playing is encoded using the special High Definition Compatible Digital

process. HDCD

discs use 20-bit encoding and other proprietary processing to provide the ultimate in CD listening. Note that HDCD processing is only available in the Stereo or Surround Off mode.

MP3: When the MP3 indicator lights, a compatible MPEG 1/Layer 3 digital signal is being received. This is the popular audio format used by many computer programs for recording compressed audio files.When an MP3 bitstream is present, the sound will automatically be played in the stereo (surround off) mode.The surround modes are not available during MP3 playback.

In addition to the Bitstream Indicators, the AVR5000 features a set of unique channel input indicators that tell you how many channels of digital information are being received and if the digital signal is interrupted.

These indicators are the L/C/R/LS/RS/LFE letters that are inside the center boxes of the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators front panel Main Information Display

in the

. When a standard analog stereo or matrix surround signal is in use, only the “L” and “R”indicators will light, as analog signals have only left and right channels, respectively, even surround recordings, carry surround information on the left and right channels only.

Digital signals, however, may have one to six separate 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 DVD or audio tracks selected on DVD or other Dolby Digital programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger e.g. only the “L” and “R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1” and “2.0”versions of the same soundtrack, the ”2.0” version often is used with other languages.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 AVR5000 or to select the appropriate audio track and thus language (”2.0” audio tracks can be played with all surround modes, even with Logic 7,see indicator ”PCM” on page 30). 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.As long as your DVD player is set for 6channel output, the AVR5000 will automatically sense changes to the bitstream and channel count and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

also flash to indicate when a bitstream has been interrupted. This will happen when a digital input source is selected before the playback starts, or when a digital source such as a DVD is put into a Pause mode.The flashing indicators remind you that the playback has stopped due to the absence of a digital signal and not through any fault of the AVR. This is normal, and the digital playback will resume once the playback is started again.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode, which enables Dolby Digital input sources to be played back with full digital intelligibilty while reducing the maximum peak level and lifting the low levels 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 mode is selected.

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

on the remote. Next,press the ⁄/¤ buttons Dto select either the middle range or full compression versions of the Night mode.To turn the Night mode off,press the

will also illuminate.

The Night mode may also be selected to always be on at either level of compression using the options in the Surround Setup Menu. See page 24 for information on using the menus to set this option.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

1. When the digital playback source is stopped, or in a pause, fast forward or chapter search mode, the digital audio data will momentarily stop, and the channel position letters inside the

Speaker/Channel Indicators

will flash.

This is normal and does not indicate a problem

with either the AVR5000 or the source machine. The AVR5000 will return to digital playback as soon as the data is available and when the machine is in a standard play mode.

2.Although the AVR5000 will decode virtually all DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible that some future digital sources may not be compatible with the AVR5000.

3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs and not all audio tracks on a DVD contain full

5.1-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 AVR5000 will automatically sense the type of digital surround encoding used, indicate it in the Bitstream Indicators

Channel Input Indicators

and adjust to

and

accommodate it.

4. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing, you normally may not be able to select some of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3, Stereo, Hall, Theater,5CH Stereo or Logic 7, except with special audio tracks (see indication ”Dolby Digital” on previous page) or data format selected (see ”PCM” on previous page).

Note that once the setting is made, the appropriate Input/Output Status Indicator $ will turn red, indicating that the selected analog or digital jacks are now an output, instead of in the default setting as an input. Once changed to an output, the setting will remain as long as the AVR 5000 is turned on, unless the setting is changed in the OSD menu system, as described above. Note, however, that once the AVR 5000 is turned off,the setting is cancelled. When the unit is turned on again, the front panel jacks will return to their normal default setting as an input. If you wish to use their jacks as an output at a future time, the setting must be changed again using the OSD menu system, as described above.

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 (e.g. Dolby Digital to PCM or vice versa, but coaxial digital signals are converted to optical signals and vice versa). In additon, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

• To make an analog recording of a Dolby Digital or DTS source is not possible, if the source is connected to a digital input of the AVR5000 only. But the analog two channel signal of that source can be recorded (see item 5, ”Important Notes on Digital Playback” above).

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR5000 is established using the test tone, as outlined on pages 24 and 25. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer and those for the Stereo and VMAx modes can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first select the surround mode for which you want to trim the speakers(see NOTE below), start your program material source and set the reference volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control

Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or network information, a description of station program type, text messages about the station or specifics of a musical selection, and the correct time.

As more FM stations become equipped with RDS capabilities, the AVR5000 will serve as an easyto-use center for both information and entertainment. This section will help you take maximum advantage of the RDS system.

OPERATION 35

Advanced Features

The AVR5000 is equipped with a number of advanced features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s operation.While it is not necessary to use these features to operate the unit, they provide additional options that you may wish to use.

Display Brightness

The AVR5000’s front panel Main Information Display

is set at a default brightness level that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room. However, in some home theater installations, you may wish to occasionally lower the brightness of the display, or turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness setting for a specific listening session, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD button TER MENU to the screen. Press the Button Dtwice, until the on-screen ›cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button

to enter the ADVANCED

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will remain in effect until it is changed again or until the unit is turned off.

Turn On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the AVR5000 is turned on, it will always return to the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to always have the AVR5000 turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was last in use when the unit was turned off. To change the default condition so that the same volume level is always used at turn-on, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu.

Advanced Features

Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one line messages at the lower third of the video display screen whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround mode or tuner frequency of any of the configuration settings are changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that enables you to have feedback on any control changes or remote commands using the video display when it is difficult to view the front-panel displays. However, you may occasionally prefer to turn these displays off for a particular listening session. You may also want to adjust the length of time the displays remain on the screen. Both of those options are possible with the AVR5000.

To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 9). To start the adjustment, press the OSD button the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press

Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment

The FULL-OSDmenu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR5000 using a series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20 seconds after a period of inactivity before they disappear from the screen or Time Out. This Time Out is a safety measure to prevent the menu text from burning into the CRTs in your monitor or projector, which might happen if they were left on indefinitely. However, some viewers may prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the Time Out display.

To change the Full-OSD Time Out, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT Menu (Figure 1). To start the adjustment, press the OSD button the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press

38 ADVANCED FEATURES

Programming the Remote

The AVR5000 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, including CD players,TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater equipment. Once the AVR5000’s remote is programmed with the codes for the products you own, it is possible to eliminate most other remotes and replace them with the convenience of a single universal remote control.

Programming the Remote with Codes

As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully programmed for all AVR5000 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.

Note: The Input Selector button Video 4 cannot be programmed with codes as it functions as input selector for the AVR only. Moreover, only the default code "001" can be programmed on the AVR Selector button

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 AVR5000 remote.

3. Press and hold both the Input Selector for the type of product to be entered (e.g.,VCR, TV) and the Mute button



time.When the Program/SPL Indicator turns amber and begins flashing, release the buttons. It is important that you begin the next step within 20 seconds.

4. If the unit you wish to program into the AVR5000 remote has a remotable Power on/off function, follow these steps:

a. Point the AVR5000’s remote towards the unit to

be programmed, and enter the first three-digit code number using the Numeric buttons If the unit being programmed turns off, the correct code has been entered. Press the Input

Selector

again, and note that the red

light under the Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

at the same

b. If the product to be programmed does NOT

turn off,continue to enter the three-digit code numbers until the equipment turns off.At this point, the correct code has been entered. Press the Input Selector

again and note that

the red light under the Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

5. If the Power function of the unit to be programmed cannot be remoted, follow these steps (max. 20 seconds after step 3 above,or else step 3 must be repeated first):

a. Enter the first three-digit code number using

the Numeric buttons

Input Selector

and press the

again. Press the remote

button of any transport function remotable with the unit, e.g.Pause or Play the unit being programmed starts that function, the correct code has been entered.

b. If the unit does not start the function whose

button was pressed, repeat steps 3 and 5a above with the next three-digit code number listed in the setup code table for that brand and product type, until the unit reacts properly on the transport function transmitted.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates properly.Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, so it is a good idea to make certain that not only does the Power control work, but that the volume, channel and transport controls work as they should. If functions do not work properly, you may need to use a different remote code.

7. If the unit does not react to any code entered, 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.

Note on Using the AVR5000 remote with a Harman Kardon CD Recorder.

As shipped from the factory the remote is programmed for controlling Harman Kardon CD players. But it is able to control most functions of the CD Recorder CDR2 and CDR20 (see function list on page 44) too after the code ”002” is entered to the CD Selector button described above. For returning to the CD player control commands the code ”001” must be entered.

Auto-Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the AVR5000’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 Auto Search method that follows. Note that the Auto Search method works only

ﬂ

with units whose Power functions can be remoted:

1. Turn on the product that you wish to include in the AVR5000 remote.

5. Press the Input Selector

again, and note that the red light will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, and it is a good idea to make certain that not only the Power control works, but the volume, channel and transport controls, as appropriate. If all functions do not

work properly, you may need to Auto-Search for a different code, or enter a code via the Direct Code Entry method.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 41

Programming the Remote

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR5000’s remote has been programmed for the codes of other devices,press the appropriate Input Selector remote from control over the AVR5000 to the additional product.When you press any of these buttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR5000, the controls may not correspond exactly to the function printed on the remote or button. Some commands,such as the volume control, are the same as they are with the AVR5000. Other buttons will change their function so that they correspond to a secondary label on the remote. 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 Sat-Receivers.

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 printed on page 44. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (e.g.,TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram or page 44. Note that each button has a number on it.

To 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 54 is the Macro 2 button for the AVR5000, but it is the “Favorite” button for many cable television boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay button for the AVR5000, but the Open/Close button for CD players.

Note that the numbers used to describe the button functions at the left 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 AVR 5000.

Notes on Using the AVR5000 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 if the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see if another code set will work with more buttons.

• Depending on the brand and product type used the functions listed in the Function List tables may not correspond with the function the unit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the corresponding line of the table or to set up a separate list.

• When a button is pressed on the AVR5000 remote, the red light under the Input Selector

for 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.

• The remote was pre-programmed with codes for units of the latest generation, but some codes may differ from those needed for earlier units. When your device doesn’t react as listed in the function list (page 44/45), let the AVR5000 remote learn the appropriate codes from the original remote (learning codes see page 40).

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR5000’s remote may be programmed to operate the Volume Control

from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with any of the six devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR5000 will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing,you may wish to have the AVR’s volume activated although the remote is set to run the TV.

To program the remote for Volume PunchThrough, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector wish to have associated with the volume control and the Mute button the red light illuminates under the Input Selector

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 5000’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the channel control function for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a cable box or satellite receiver without having to change the device selected by the AVR 5000 or the remote.To program the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector button device you wish to have the channel control associated with and the Mute button same time until the red light illuminates under the

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home-theater system, occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the remote control without the confusion of any commands, macros or ”PunchThrough“ programming that you may have done. To do this,it is possible to reset the remote to the original factory defaults and command codes by following these steps. Note, however, that once the remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have entered will be erased and will need to be re-entered:

1. Press any of the Input Selector buttons and the ”O“ button Hat the same time until the Program/SPL Indicator amber.

2. Press the ”3“ button

3.The red LED under the Input Selector will go out and the Program/SPL Indicator
