INTRODUCTION

Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 635, you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment.

The AVR 635 has a wide range of features and options that accommodate virtually any combination of speakers, room size and program sources. It is as easy to operate as it is to set up

, but in order to take maximum advantage of the many advanced technologies within your new AVR, it is strongly recommended that you take a few minutes to read this owner’s manual.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, we recommend that you contact your dealer or installer, as they are your best source of local information. You may also access a wealth of information and assistance by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Description and Features

The AVR 635 is designed to serve as the hub of your home entertainment system, combining the flexibility to access the wide range of audio and video source options available today with the power to handle virtually any type of program material or surround mode. Thanks to a state-of-the-art DA610 digital signal processor from Texas Instruments, the AVR 635 offers precision decoding of all currently available technologies from Dolby Laboratories and DTS

. In addition, older analog and two-channel program sources benefit from the latest version of Harman International’s

processing which creates a wider, more

Logic 7 enveloping sound field with more defined channel positioning and the ability to create 7.1 sound fields from 5.1 sources.Additional processing and decoding options include MP3 (when connected to a compatible computer) and HDCD

for enhanced CD playback as well as Dolby* Virtual speaker and Dolby Headphone processing

An important addition to the of features is EzSet/EQ

s impressive list

which automates the configu

, ration process to make it quicker, easier and more precise. Using the special microphone supplied with the unit, EzSet/EQ takes the guesswork out of entering

“size” and crossover information, delay times

speaker for all channels and output levels. In addition to the configuration settings, EzSet/EQ also includes room equalization so that the signals sent to each speaker are tailored to provide accurate sonic quality with your

room size and

specific combination of speaker type

other factors that influence room acoustics.With

EzSet/EQ, your system is custom-configured in a few minutes with accuracy that previously required expensive and hard-to-use test equipment.

In tandem with EzSet/EQ, the AVR 635 includes a full set of manual configuration settings for those who wish to custom-trim their system even further. A Quadruple Crossover bass management system makes it possible to enter different crossover settings for each speaker group.

Video connections and system integration is a snap with the AVR 635, thanks to format cross-conversion which allows any video input to be output as a highquality component signal,

complete with the on-screen menus. For those sources already in component form, three assignable, wide-bandwidth inputs are available

, and the Video inputs are renameable. To further enhance the viewing experience with digital sources or displays, the AVR 635’s A/V Sync Delay feature allows you to compensate for the loss of lip sync due to digital video delays individually for each input. Full-carrier IR outputs, a bi-directional RS-232 port and a learning remote with a two-line display are among the many other features that make the AVR 635’s power simple to use.

The AVR 635’s multizone options and a standard Zone II remote control make it possible to listen to a separate source in a room while the main home theater uses a different source.With assignable rear surround channel amplifiers, you may create a basic remote listening zone without any additional equipment. For one-wire multiroom connectivity, the AVR 635 is A-BUS Ready,

requiring only a single Category 5/5e cable and an optional remote module to power remote speakers while controlling volume and enabling full control over the program source and compatible IR-controlled devices.The unit’s Multiroom outputs may also be used to feed an optional, external power amplifier and volume control.

The AVR 635’s seven-channel amplifier is our time-

honored high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design with the power to reproduce the loudest crescendos or cinema sound effects while remaining virtually free from distortion or system noise.

Combining state-of-the-art circuitry, digital technology and proven performance with an elegant design that is compatible with the latest source components and video displays, the AVR 635 represents the culmination of Harman Kardon’s fifty-year history of delivering the finest sonic performance.

However, they may also be used to power the speakers in a second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multiroom system. To change the output fed to these terminals from the default of the Surround Back speakers to the Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the Advanced Menu of the OSD system. See page 41 for more information on configuring this speaker output. In

mal surround system use, the brown and black ter-

nor minals are the surround back left channel positive (+) and negative (–) connections and the tan and black terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and negative (–) terminals. For multiroom use, connect the brown and black SBL terminals to the red and black connections on the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on the right remote zone speaker.

System Installation

After unpacking the unit, locating it in a place with adequate ventilation and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, nections to your audio and video equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For your personal safety and to avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers it is always good practice to turn off and unplug the AVR and ALL source equipment from the AC output before making any audio or video system connections.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the

CD Audio Inputs .

NOTE: If your 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 it is distorted.

2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, MD, CD-R or other audio recorder to the Tape Inputs . Connect the analog Record/In jacks on the recorder to the on the AVR 635.

3. Connect the output of any digital sources such as a CD or DVD changer or player, advanced video game, a digital satellite receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or the output of a compatible computer sound card to the Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs KM.

4. Connect the coaxial or optical

ik on the rear panel of the AVR 635 to the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

5. Assemble the AM loop antenna supplied with the unit so that the tabs at the bottom of the antenna loop snap into the holes in the base and GND Screw Terminals ¡ .

o ensure that all the audio signals are carried to your

T speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we sug-

gest 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 cable

with a gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in specifying cable, the lower the number, the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than 10 feet. We do not recommend that you use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher, due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with the NEC and/or the applicable building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Note that the positive (+)

minal of each speaker connection has a specific color

ter code

as noted on page 8. However, most speakers still use a red terminal for the positive (+) connection. Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on both the receiver and the speaker.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to

y convention of using black ter

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

The AVR 635 is designed for flexible use with multiroom systems, external control components and power amplifiers

Main Room Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door

, the obstruction may prevent the

remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input Jack g.

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’ connection from the

s sensor or a remote eye by running a

the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to the AVR 635 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR connection cable into the

Alternatively, you may install an optional volume control between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers.

A-BUS®Installation Connections

The AVR 635 is among the few receivers available that offer built-in A-BUS Ready operation. When used with an optional A-BUS product, you have all the benefits of remote zone operation without the need for an external power amplifier.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

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 and Placement

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

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

Speaker Placement

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

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

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

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

When the AVR 635 is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, ing position. In a 7.1-channel system, both side surround and back surround speakers are required. center of the speaker should face into the room. The

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

Subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, 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 6 inches from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer at your normal listening position, and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot. You should also follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s manufacturer, or you may wish to experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room.

System Setup

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to assign input and output connections, make any tone adjustments, select a surround mode, program the AVR 635’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, levels and set the delay times used by the surround sound processor.

Although it is necessary to assign input/output settings and surround mode choices manually, we recommend that you take advantage of the power and precision of EzSet/EQ to automatically select and enter the settings for all other audio parameters.This will not only save you time; it will ensure that your room is calibrated and equalized with an accuracy not possible when these settings are made manually.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 635 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker “size,” component video assignment, digital input, surround mode and crossover frequency for each input source

. This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR 635 memorize those settings. This means, for example, that you may set different speaker configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management system. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for the AVR 635 have all inputs except for DVD and Video 3 configured for an analog audio input, the

Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1

for DVD and the Optical Digital Input 1

is the default for Video 3. The default speaker settings are “Small” at all positions, with the Subwoofer on. The default setting for the surround modes is Logic 7 Music for analog sources. Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be selected as appropriate when a digital source is in use.

Before using the unit, you may want to change the settings for some 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 of your home theater system. Remember that since the AVR 635 memorizes the settings for each input individually, you will need to make these adjustments for each input used. However, once they are made, further adjustment is required only when system components are changed.

the modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR 635, we suggest Logic 7 (Cinema or Music) for most analog inputs. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround off”) as they are not typically used with multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that sur material will be used. Alternatively, the mode is a good choice for stereo-only source material. See page 34 for more information on available surround modes.

For digital program material, the AVR will always examine the data stream and automatically select a Dolby Digital or DTS mode as applicable.

Using EzSet/EQ

The AVR 635 uses Harman Kardon’s EzSet/EQ technology to automatically configure your system to deliver the best possible performance based on your specific speaker selection, where the speakers are placed in the room and the acoustic influences in your listening room. By using a series of test signals and the processing power of the Texas Instruments DA 610 digital signal processor, EzSet/EQ eliminates the need for manual adjustment of speaker “size”, crossover, delay and output level settings while it adds the power of a multi-band parametric equalizer to smooth out the frequency settings for optimal sound reproduction.

In addition to making system setup quick and easy, EzSet/EQ is more precise than manual settings.With EzSet/EQ you are able to calibrate your system in a fraction of the time it would take to enter the settings manually, and with results that rival those achieved with expensive test equipment and time consuming proce dures.The end result is a system calibration profile that enables your new receiver to deliver the best pos sible sound no matter what type of speakers you have or what the dimensions of your listening room are.

We recommend that you take advantage of the precision of EzSet/EQ to calibrate your system, but if desired you may also make any of the configuration settings manually, or trim the settings provided by EzSet/EQ by following the instructions on pages 26–31.

Before starting the EzSet/EQ process, make certain that you have connected all speakers for your system and that you have both the EzSet/EQ microphone and the extender rod handy. If you have a standard camera tripod, attach the extender rod to the tripod, and then screw the microphone to the top of the rod. tripod at your primary listening position, at least three feet from the nearest speaker and adjust it so that microphone is at least three feet above ear level. you do not have a tripod, simply screw the extender rod into the bottom of the EzSet/EQ microphone

Step 4. The final menu screen before the EzSet/EQ process starts is a warning screen (Figure 9) that serves as a reminder to keep the room as quiet as possible while the system is in use. Extraneous noise of any kind may adversely affect the accuracy of the system’s results. Do not talk while the test tones are circulating, and if possible, turn off any ventilation systems if the noise form the air flow is loud enough for you to hear. Should an outside noise such as a phone ringing occur during the test process, we recommend that you rerun EzSet/EQ. This screen is also your reminder that the test tones used by EzSet/EQ are somewhat loud.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at this point, or use ear protection sufficient to reduce the noise level at their ears. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level for anyone who has a problem with loud noise. If you are uncomfortable with, or cannot tolerate loud sounds and do not use some sort of ear protection we strongly recommend that you leave the room and ask someone else to be present while the EzSet/EQ process takes place, or that you do not use EzSet/EQ and enter the configuration settings manually, as described on pages 26 through 31.

Step 5. At this point you will begin to hear a series of test tones circulate among all the speakers in your system. While this is happening, the AVR 635 is reading the signal to determine which speaker positions are active, what type of speaker is present at each active position, what the distance is from the listening position to each speaker, and to begin to build a profile of the impact of the room’s acoustics on the quality of audio reproduction. When the test is completed you will hear the tones stop, and the system will pause fors long as a minute while the processor makes its calculations. Do not be alarmed if the “WARNING” message remains on the screen after tones stop until a results message is displayed as shown in Step 6 or 7,

NOTE: While these tests detect whether a speaker is connected to a particular output, they cannot determine whether the speaker is in the correct position.

Step 7a. If the measurements are not successful due to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, the

FIELD EQ ERROR

EzSet/EQ is programmed to look for speaker pairs at the front left/front right, surround left/surround right and surround back left/surround back right positions. If the test results indicate that one, but not both of the speakers in any of these pairs is present, the menu will show NO next to the speaker

position where the tests did not report back that a speaker is present. Should this message appear, make note of the suspect speaker location, exit all menus

Step 8. When the Far Field measurements are completed, the system will ask you to take three Near Field measurements, one at each front speaker position. These measurements enable EzSet/EQ to produce the most accurate settings for both high and low frequency equalization. The Near Field measurements are similar to the Far Field tests, except that the system will “listen” to only one speaker at a time, rather than sending the test signals to all speakers in rotation. At the

In addition, EzSet/EQ also performs a complete room equalization that tailors the system’s performance for the best possible sound with your combination of speakers, speaker placement and room acoustics.The next few pages in this manual detail the procedure for manually entering system data, but unless you want to view the setting information and make an adjustment, you are now ready to enjoy the finest in home theater and music reproduction.

In addition, by telling the AVR whether speakers are available for the Surround Back channels, the information on this menu is used to determine which surround modes may be used (e.g., modes such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, or DTS-ES, requiring SBL/SBR speakers, are only available when a speaker is present in those channels).

Delay Settings

Due to the different distances between the listening position and each speaker position, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from each channel is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater.

In most cases

, the settings established by EzSet/EQ are accurate to under a foot, but the placement of the microphone and other factors may influence the setting. Should you wish to manually adjust the channel delay times, follow the instructions shown below.Whenever adjustments to the delay settings are made remember that the distance settings need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate a typical listening area rather han the precise measurement from the speakers to a specific “sweet spot”

position.

In addition to providing delaying adjustments for each individual speaker position, the AVR 635 is among the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group This feature is called

A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to

compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite

, or personal video recorders. With proper

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration of any surround sound product. important for a digital receiver such as the AVR 635, as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks with the proper directionality and intensity

In most cases, you will not need to make any adjustments to the output level, as the settings made by running EzSet/EQ are as accurate as those made manually. However, you are able to use the CHANNEL ADJUST menu to trim the settings to suit your personal preferences or to configure the system so that the output settings are different from one input source to another. The ability to make individual output level adjustments on a per-input basis is useful for listeners who may prefer different settings for the subwoofer or an individual channel group such as the front speakers when playing musical selections via the CD input as opposed to the movie soundtracks more frequently used with the DVD input. This menu also allows you to adjust the output levels using external sources such as a test disc or other program material that you use as a standard, rather than the system’s test tone.

TANT NOTE:

IMPOR

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 they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience, 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,

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR 635 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo programs.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used. For example, motion pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the major surroundencoding processes, such as Dolby Surround or DTS Stereo may be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes, depending on the source material.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix surround information, it retains the surround information as long as the program is broadcast in stereo.Thus, movies with surround sound may be decoded via any of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II Cinema, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when they are broadcast via conventional

TV stations pay-TV and satellite transmission. In addition, a growing number of made-for-television programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and music CDs are also produced in surround sound. You may view a list of these programs at the Dolby Laboratories Web site at

For more information on selecting digital sources,see the Digital Audio Playback section below.

When the 6-Channel/8-Channel direct inputs are in use, there is no surround processing, as these inputs take the analog output signals from an optional, external DVD-Audio or SACD player, or another source device and carry them straight through to the volume control without any further digital processing.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over older analog surround processing systems. It delivers up to six discrete channels, and each channel reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramatically improved dynamic range and significant improvements to signal-to-noise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the capability to deliver an additional channel that is specifically devoted to low-frequency information. This is the

“.1” channel referred to when you see these systems described as “5.1,” “6.1” or “7.1.”The bass channel is separate from the other channels, but since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, that unique designation.

sound designers have given it

When a Digital soundtrack is playing, the number of channels available will vary according to the way in which the program was recorded. Although most movies recorded with digital sound have 5.1 soundtracks

, some have 6.1 or 7.1 sound, while others retain the original 2.0 or even monaural sound. When the program source is a broadcast, cable or satellite delivered digital program, only one type of soundtrack may be delivered at a time, while optical sources such as DVD may provide more than one audio option. In either case, the decision of what type of sound track and how many channels to offer is up to the program’s producer. With the AVR 635 you are able to not only play back the original compatible digital format, but using the processing power of the Texas Instruments DSP processor it is possible to decode the basic digital track for 2.0 or

5.1 sound and then select an additional “post-processing” mode to deliver additional channels.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a standard part of DVD, and is available on specially encoded LD discs and satellite broadcasts and it is a part of the high-definition television (HDTV) system.

An optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the AVR 635 to listen to the Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to the demodulator and then connect the digital output of the demodulator to the

Logic 7 C delivers for increased center channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans. The Logic 7 M, or music mode, enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy. Logic 7/7 may also be used to add surround back channels to many 5.1 digital soundtracks.

DTS

DTS is another digital audio system that is capable of delivering 5.1 or 6.1 discrete or matrix sound field reproduction. Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different methods of encoding the signals, and thus they require different decoding circuits to convert the digital signals back to analog.

Coaxial Inputs KM . 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 AVR 635 rear panel (e.g., connect the analog stereo audio output from a DVD to the on the rear panel when you connect the source’

Since the range of available sur round modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR 635 shows you what type of signal is present to help you understand the choice of modes.

When a digital source is first detected, will display a message to indicate the type of bitstream being received. This message will appear shortly after an input or surround mode is changed, and will remain in the

It is always a good idea to check the readout for the channel data to make certain that it matches the audio logo information shown on the back of a DVD package. In some cases, you will see an indication for “2/0/0” even when the disc contains a full 5.1, or 3/2/.1, output settings for your DVD player or the audio menu selections for the specific disc being played to make certain that the player is sending the correct signal to the AVR.

In most cases, this will be PCM 48kHz, though in the case of specially mastered, high-resolution audio discs, you will see a PCM 96kHz indication. Note that the sampling rate displayed is that of the incoming digital signal, and not the upsampled rate that may be applied to PCM sources when Dolby Pro Logic or Pro Logic II processing is applied, as shown on page 22.

During PCM playback you may select any surround mode except one of the Dolby Digital or DTS/DTS-ES modes. However, when a CD with HDCD encoding is being played you must select the Surround Off (stereo) mode to take advantage of the HDCD process.

HDCD Playback

High Definition Compatible Digital,®or HDCD, discs are recorded using a special process that uses 20-bit encoding and other proprietary processing to provide the ultimate in CD listening.

Speaker/Channel Indicators

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the AVR 635 features a set of unique channel-input indicators that tell you how many channels of digital infor being received and/or whether the digital signal is interrupted (Figure 21).

Figure 21

The letters inside the boxes tell you which channels are receiving an input signal. Since conventional analog audio is only two channels, the “L” and “R” letters will light with any analog source.When a digital source is in use you will see letters displayed that correspond to the number of channels in the incoming data stream, which may be just the L and R for two channel PCM or 2.0 Dolby Digital material. When a 5.1 signal is being received the L/C/R/SL/SR indicators will light, with the LFE indication also being shown when an LFE signal is present. All seven indicators, including the SBL/SBR letters will light for a 7.1 signal, and a horizontal line is shown to connect the SBL/SBR indicators when a 6.1 source is in use.

It is important to note that although Dolby Digital, for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes nor soundtrack to trigger only the

When a disc does offer multiple soundtrack choices, you may have to make some adjustments to your DVD player (usually with the or in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1 feed to the AVR 635. It is also possible for the type of signal feed to change during the course of a DVD’s playback. material will only be recorded in 2.0 audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1 audio will automatically sense changes to the bitstream and channel count and reflect them in these indicators.

The boxes around the channel indication letters are used to show which speakers are configured in your system. A small box around the letter indicates that a “Small” speaker has been assigned to that position, while a larger, double box indicates a “Large” speaker assignment.

Note that in some cases, such as an analog stereo or

2.0 digital source you will see empty speaker position boxes, which indicates that the speaker is active and will receiver sound, but that there is no discrete signal for that channel. In other cases you may see letters with no speaker boxes.This indicates that there is a discrete signal for that channel, but due to the mode in use (e.g. Dolby VS with a 5.1 source) there is no signal being sent to the channel.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode, which enables specially encoded Dolby Digital input sources to be played back with full digital intelligibility while reducing the minimum peak level by 1/4 to 1/3. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the impact of the digital source.The Night mode is available only when Dolby Digital signals with special data are being played.

The onboard decoding for the MP3 audio format used by computers and portable audio devices. By offering MP3 decoding, the AVR 635 is able to deliver precise conversion of the digital signals to an analog output, along with the benefits of listening to the MP3 audio through the AVR 635’s high-current amplifier and the speakers from your surround system, smaller speakers and low-powered amplifiers typically used with computers

is present, and the audio will begin playing.

NOTES:

• The AVR 635 is only capable of playing signals in the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format. It is not compatible with other computer audio codecs.

• The digital audio input signal may be either optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in the S/P-DIF 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.

• If your computer or sound card’s digital output is not capable of direct connection to the AVR 635, you may use an optional, external transcoder to convert the USB output of a computer to a format compatible with the AVR.

• Due to the wide variation in MP3 formats and encoding speeds, it is possible that the AVR 635 may not be compatible with all MP3 input signals. Some may produce unacceptable results and some may not be decoded. This is not a fault of either the computer or the AVR 635, but rather a by-product of the unpredictable nature of MP3 playback.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

• When playing DVDs, please note that even when you have selected a specific digital audio format for playback, an individual disc may change formats or the number of available channels during playback. For

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 635 is established using EzSet/EQ, as outlined on pages 24–26. 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 can only be adjusted using this procedure.

Digital Auto-Poll Settings

In order to provide the greatest flexibility in accommodating the widest range of sources, the AVR 635 includes both analog and digital audio inputs for all sources. In most cases you will want to use one or the other, but not both. However, in some circumstances it is desirable to make both an analog and digital connection between a source device and the AVR.

An important application for dual audio connections is with cable or satellite boxes, where the audio output may change depending on the channel being viewed and the type of audio the cable system or satellite receiver associates with it. To eliminate the need to constantly switch back and for to select an audio type each time you change channels, the AVR 635 is programmed by default to automatically “poll” the audio inputs.When a digital audio stream it is selected first, but if the digital audio is removed the AVR will switch to the analog inputs associated with that input as a back-up. In most systems this is the correct operation and no further change is required.

The AVR 635 is fully equipped to operate as the control center for a complete multiroom system that is capable of sending one source to a second zone in the house while a separate source is listened to in the main room.

In addition to providing for control over the selection of the remote source and its volume, the AVR 635 offers a comprehensive range of options for powering the speakers in the second zone.

• Using the line-level

Multiroom Audio Outputs j,

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

• When the main room system is configured for 5.1

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

• Using built-in A-BUS Ready technology, optional

A-BUS modules may be connected to the AVR 635 via a single Category 5/5e wire, so that remote zone speakers may be powered directly from the A-BUS module without the need for additional power, IR sensor or volume control wires to be run to the second zone.

In addition, the AVR 635 includes a remote IR sensor input so that remote control commands from the Zone II remote included with the unit may be transmitted to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks allow the remote zone’s commands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled source devices.

Installation

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

For standard installations, follow the instructions shown on page 17 for the connection of speaker wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR 635.

For installations where the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels are used to power the remote zone make certain that the system is configured for that type of operation, as shown on this page.

Surround Channel Amplifier Assignment

AVR 635 is equipped with seven full-power

The amplifier channels to allow for complete 7.1-channel operation. However, if your system is only configured for 5.1 channels in the main listening room, you may take advantage of the “extra” two channels by using them to power speakers placed in a second zone location. This enables you to use the multiroom capabilities of the AVR 635 without the cost of an additional, external power amplifier.

To change the setting so that the Surround Back amplifiers are fed by the source selected through the Multiroom system rather than the SBL/SBR channels of the main room, make certain that the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 23) is on the screen, and then press the

⁄/¤

SB AMPS line. Press the ⁄/¤Navigation

Button

o so that MULTI is shown in highlight- ed video.When this change is made, connect the wires feeding the speakers in the remote zone to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outlets ‚.

Note that when the SBL/SBR speakers are set for multiroom operation, you may still configure the AVR 635 for 7.1 modes in the main listening room by making certain that the SURR

BACK

line in the

SPEAKER SIZE menu (Figure 15) is set to SMALL or LARGE, as shown in the instructions

on page 28. When that is done the word

MULTI

will appear next to the large or small designator to alert you to the fact that the internal SBL/SBR amplifiers are assigned to the multiroom system, and that an optional, external two-channel power amplifier must be connected to the SBL/SBR Preamp Outputs £ in order to use surround back channel speakers

Thanks to the remote’s advanced technology and two-line LCD display, it is no longer necessary to look up cumbersome codes when programming the remote; following the steps outlined below, you simply search for the brand name from the remote’s memory. We recommend that you first try the preprogrammed code entry method. If that procedure is not successful, then try the code-learning method.

Preprogrammed Code Entry

The easiest way to program the remote for operation with a source device from another brand is to follow these steps:

1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to program into the AVR remote.This is important, as in a later step you will need to see whether the device turns off to determine whether the remote has been programmed for the proper remote codes.

2. Press and hold the about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 24 appears in the remote’s

Learning Commands

On occasions when the AVR remote does not contain the codes for a particular product’s remote in its builtin library, or when you wish to program a missing or special function into one button of a device, the AVR remote’s learning capability allows you to do that. To teach commands from one product’s remote into the AVR remote:

In the factory default settings, the AVR remote is programmed so that the commands transmitted correspond to the device selected by pressing one

of the want the remote to control the device you have selected. However, in some circumstances you may have configured your system so that the devices connected to the AVR 635 do not correspond to the default device settings and the legends printed on the remote. For example, if your system has two VCRs you may connect the second VCR to the VID 2 input.There is no problem in doing that, but in normal operation the commands issued after selecting the VID 2 input are for a television, not a VCR.

The AVR remote allows you to correct that situation through the “Changing Devices” process. This enables you to assign the codes from one type of device to a different button. For example, in the steps below, we will explain how to program the VID 2 buttons to provide the commands to operate a VCR. Of course, you may program the remote to have any of the devices take on the code set of any other device, as your system requires.And, with the AVR remote’s

Punch-Through Configuration

Punch-through is a capability of the remote that allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down buttons or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast Forward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link to a different device. For example, if your TV, cable box or satellite receiver is connected through the AVR 635, you will most likely want to use the AVR 635’s volume control commands even when the remote has been set to issue all other commands for the video device. “Punch-through” enables you to easily program the remote to do this.

Volume Punch-Through

Follow these steps to enable the Volume Up/Down and Mute controls from one device to be used when the remote is otherwise programmed for a different device.

Channel Punch-Through

Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down buttons to send commands to a different device than the one selected for other commands. For example, you may wish to use a cable box or satellite receiver as the source for a VCR, so you would

want the

Channel Up/Down Buttons Y to transmit com- mands to the cable box even though the other button commands are programmed to operate the VCR.

To program the remote for channel punch-through, follow these steps.This example will show how to program channel punch-through so that the commands programmed for Channel Up/Down for the VID 3/Cable device will be transmitted when the VID 1/VCR device has been selected as the current device.

Renaming

While the names given to the buttons and inputs on the remote represent recognizable categories of audio/video products, system operation may be easier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCD screen are customized to reflect the specific characteristics of a playback source’s brand name or the new function given to a specific button when one remote’s controls are programmed into the AVR remote. The AVR remote allows you to change the name of either a master device or any button on the remote using the following steps.
