Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon
AVR 505 Limited Edition you are about to begin
many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR 505
Limited Edition 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 AVR 505 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 AVR 505 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed
connections and a programmable remote control make the AVR 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 AVR 505 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 AVR 505 Limited Edition 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 the
latest Dolby ProLogicII
®
decoding technology,
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.
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.
In addition to providing a wide range of listening
options, the AVR 505 Limited Edition is easy to
configure so that it provides the best results with
your speakers and specific listening-room
environment.
A Stereo-Direct mode bypasses the digital
processor to preserve all of the subtleties of
older analog, two-channel materials, while bass
management, available in the surround and
Stereo-Digital modes,improves your ability to
tailor the sound to suit your room acoustics or
taste.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 505
features connections for four video devices, all
with both composite and S-Video inputs, including the front-panel inputs.Two additional audio
inputs are available, and a total of six digital
inputs make the AVR 505 capable of handling all
the latest digital audio sources. Coax and optical
digital outputs are available for direct connection to digital recorders.
A video recording output and a six-channel
input make the AVR 505 virtually future-proof,
with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new formats right on board.
The AVR 505 Limited Edition’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 fifty years ago.With state-of-the-art circuitry
and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR 505
Limited Edition is one of the finest receivers ever
offered by Harman Kardon within its price range.

4 SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Information
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR 505 Limited Edition 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.
