Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and

semiconductor "chip" components.

The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on

your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,

which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to

prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges

sufficient to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement

ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the

chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

CAUTION :

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together

or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing.

Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably

insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

Before returning the unit to the user, perform the following safety checks :

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that

leads are not pinched or that hardware is not

lodged between the chassis and other metal

parts in the unit.

2. Be sure that any protective devices such as

nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fish-

papers, cabinet backs, adjustment and

compartment covers or shields, isolation

resistor-capacity networks, mechanical

insulators, etc. Which were removed for the

servicing are properly re-installed.

3. Be sure that no shock hazard exists ; check for leakage

current usingSimpson Model 229 Leakage Tester, standard

equipment item No. 21641, RCA Model WT540A or use

alternate method as follows : Plug the power cord directly

Into a 120 volt AC receptacle (do not use an Isolation

Transformer for this test). Using two clip leads, connect a

1500 ohms,10watt Resistor paralleledby a 0.15uFcapacitor, in serieswith all exposedmetal cabinet partsand a knownearth ground, such

as a water pipe or conduit. Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohms per volt, or higher sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the

resistor. (See diagram) Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal,

cabinet, screwheads, knobsand control shafts, escutcheon, etc.) and measurethe ACvoltage drop across the resistor. (Thistest should be

performed withthe 0.35 volt RMS ormore is excessive and indicatesa potential shockhazard which must be correctedbefore returning the

unit to the owner.

Service Bulletin

Service bulletin # H/K2000-06 April 2000 Warranty labor rate: MINOR repair To: All harman/kardon Service Centers Models: AVR7000 Subject: Switched AC Accessory Outlet Dead

The Switched AC Accessory Outlets on the AVR7000 are used to power up any low-wattage device when the AVR7000 is switched on with the System Power Control. Ordinarily this means CD players, DVD players, Tape Decks, etc. or any device not exceeding 100 watts per outlet. These accessory outlets are not intended to be used with higher-power devices such as television sets, power amplifiers or powered subwoofers. However, under some circumstances, even the use of a recommended device connected to the AVR7000’s Switched AC Accessory Outlets may briefly exceed the current rating of the internal 1A AC accessory fuse, and blow the fuse.

In the event you receive an AVR7000 with the complaint “The switched AC accessory outlet at the rear of my receiver is dead”, perform the following procedure:

1) Remove the top cover, (16 Black Phillips screws).

2) Locate F451, a 1A GMC (5 x 20mm) fuse at the rear corner of the unit, where the AC power cord enters the rear cover. Remove it and replace with a 3.15A GMC (5 x 20mm) Slo-Blo fuse, h/k part# 5508302735 . Original fuse can be extracted with a pair of long-nosed pliers.

3) Replace the top cover.

4) Test the Switched AC Accessory Outlets by connecting a low power device, such as a CD player, DVD player, or Tape Deck and assure the unit powers up normally when the AVR7000 System Power Control is switched on.

harman/kardon TECH TIPS

Troubleshooting tips and solutions to common service problems

For models: AVR7000 TIP# HKTT2000-01

Complaint:

The Remote Control has stopped working for the AVR7000.

First Check:

1. Make sure the batteries in the remote are installed correctly. (Plus and minus to correct terminals)

2. Make sure the area between the remote control and receiver is not blocked by some object, and the distance is no more than 15 feet at an angle no greater than 30 degrees from the front of the receiver.

3. Make sure strong lighting is not directed towards the IR sensor of the receiver.

4. Press each button on the remote and verify proper operation.

If these steps are taken and remote control still does not function properly −

Probable Cause:

Factory-supplied batteries.

Solution:

1. Remove the batteries from the remote. Leave batteries out of the remote for a minimum of three minutes. This ensures the internal capacitors discharge, allowing the CPU in the remote to re-boot.

2. Reinstall new alkaline batteries (major brand recommended).

3. Press the AVR button and the Mute button at the same time until the red light illuminates under AVR.

4. Enter the numbers 0-0-1 on the numerical keypad.

5. Press the AVR button again.

Test the remote control. It should be functioning properly once this is completed.

• Amplifier is in protection mode • Contact your local Harman Kardon service depot due to internal problems

No sound from surround or • Incorrect surround mode • Select a mode other than Stereo center speakers • Input is monaural • There is no surround information from mono sources

• Incorrect configuration • Check speaker mode configuratioin

• Stereo or Mono program material • The surround decoder may not create center or rear channel

information from nonencoded programs

Unit does not respond to • Weak batteries in remote • Change remote batteries remote commands • Wrong device selected • Press the AVR selector

• Remote sensor is obscured • Make certain front panel sensor is visible to remote

or connect remote sensor

Intermittent buzzing in tuner • Local interference • Move unit or antenna away from computers,fluorescent

HDCD encoded disc does not trigger • Surround mode in use • Select “Surround Off”mode HDCD indicator • Analog feed in use • Connect and select digital connection to CD player

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system’s memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem,first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit’s operation.If the system still malfunctions,a system reset may clear the problem.

To clear the AVR 7000’s entire system memory including tuner presets,output level settings,

delay times and speaker configuration data, first put the unit in Standby by pressing the System Power Control button 2. Next, press and hold the Tone Mode 6 and the FM Mode Selector @ buttons for three seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and display the RESET message in the Main Information Display W. Note that once you have cleared the memory in this manner,it is necessary to re-establish all system configuration settings and tuner presets.

NOTE:Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for

speakers,output levels,surround modes,digital input assignments as well as the tuner presets. After a reset the unit will be returned to the factory presets,and all settings for these items must be reentered.

If the system is still operating incorrectly,there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service depot.
