Harman-Kardon AVR 435 - Manual (Page 37)

OPERATION OPERATION
OPERATION 37 OPERATION 37
• Not all digitally encoded programs contain full 5.1-
or 6.1-channel audio. Consult the program guide
that accompanies the DVD or laser disc to deter-
mine which type of audio has been recorded on the
disc. The AVR 435 will automatically sense the type
of digital surround encoding used and adjust to
accommodate it.
• When a digital source is playing, you may not be
able to select some of the analog surround modes
such as Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx,
Stereo, Hall, Theater or Logic 7.
• When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,
it is not possible to make an analog recording using
the Tape Outputs
and Video 1 or Video 2
Audio Outputs . However, the digital signals
will be passed through to the Digital Audio
Outputs ikM.
Tuner Operation
The AVR 435’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and
FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may be tuned
manually, or they may be stored as favorite station pre-
sets and recalled from a 30-position memory.
Station Selection
1. Press the AM/FM Tuner Selector Button
on the remote to select the tuner as an input. The
tuner may be selected from the front panel by
either pressing the Input Source Selector 7
until the tuner is active or by pressing the Tuner
Band Selector 5.
2. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select Button or
Tuner Band Selector 5 again to switch between
AM and FM so that the desired frequency band is
selected.
3. Press the Tuning Mode Selector 8 l to select
manual or automatic tuning.
When the button is pressed so that AUTO/
STEREO appears in the Upper Display Line
#, each press of the Tuning Selectors 4w
will put the tuner in a scan mode that seeks the
next higher or lower frequency station with accept-
able signal strength. An
AUTO ST TUNED
indication will momentarily appear when the
station stops at a stereo FM station, and an
AUTO TUNED indication will momentarily
appear when an AM or monaural FM station is
tuned. Press the Tuning buttons again to scan to
the next receivable station.
When the button is pressed so that MANUAL/
MONO appears in the Upper Display Line #,
each tap of the Selector will increase or decrease
the frequency by one increment. When the tuner
receives a strong enough signal for adequate
reception,
MANUAL TUNED will appear in
the Lower Display Line $.
4. Stations may also be tuned directly in either the
automatic or manual mode. To enter a station’s fre-
quency directly, first select the AM or FM band as
desired be pressing the AM/FM Tuner Select
Button 5
. Next, press the Direct Button
i. Within 5 seconds of when DIRECT IN
scrolls in the Upper Display Line #, enter the
station frequency by pressing the Numeric Keys
k. If you press an incorrect button while entering
a direct frequency, press the Clear Button j to
start over.
NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak,
audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono
mode by pressing the Tuning Mode Button 8l
so that
MANUAL/MONO appears momentarily
in the Upper Display Line # and then goes out.
This will also activate manual tuning mode.
Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the
AVR 435’s memory for easy recall using the front-panel
controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station
using the steps outlined above. Then:
1. Press the Memory Button on the remote; the
station’s frequency will flash.
2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys k
corresponding to the location where you wish to store
this station’s frequency. Once entered, the preset
number will appear in the Upper Display Line #.
3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional
stations to be preset.
Recalling Preset Stations
• To manually select a station previously entered in the
preset memory, press the Numeric Keys k that
correspond to the desired station’s memory
location.
• To manually tune through the list of stored preset sta-
tions one by one, press the Preset Stations Selector
Buttons 6v on the front panel or remote.
Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 435 is sent to
the record outputs. This means that any program you
are watching or listening to may be recorded simply
by placing machines connected to the outputs for
Tape Outputs or Video 1/Video 2 Audio and
Video Outputs ‡· in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the
Digital Audio Outputs ik, you are able to record
the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digi-
tal recording system.
NOTES:
• The digital outputs are active only when a digital sig-
nal is present, and they do not convert an analog
input to a digital signal, or change the format of the
digital signal. In addition, 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.
• Please make certain that you are aware of any
copyright restrictions on any material you copy.
Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is
prohibited by federal law.
Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the AVR 435 is
established using EzSet/EQ, as outlined on pages
23–26. 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.
To adjust the output levels using program material, first
set the reference volume for the front left and front right
channels using the Volume Control )rî.
Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel Select Button n and
FRONT L
LEVEL will appear in the Lower Display Line
$. To change the level, first press the Set Button
q, and then use the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button
o to raise or lower the level. DO NOT use the vol-
ume control, as this will alter the reference setting.
Once the change has been made, press the Set
Button q and then press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button o to select the next output-channel location
that you wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level,
press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until
WOOFER LEVEL appears in the Lower
Display Line $ or on-screen display.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels
requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-
ments have been made and no further adjustments
are made for 5 seconds, the AVR 435 will return to
normal operation.
