INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon ® ! With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 335, you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment.

Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 335 harnesses advanced technologies usually found only in higher-priced receivers.

The AVR 335 has been engineered so that it is easy to take advantage of all the power of its digital technology. However, to obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to read this manual. A few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the AVR 335 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer. They are your best local sources of information.

Description and Features

The AVR 335 is versatile and multifeatured, incorporating a wide range of listening options. In addition to

Dolby* Digital and DTS ® decoding for digital soundtracks, a broad choice of Matrix surround-encoded or

Stereo surround modes are available for use with CD,

VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR 335’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic* II and IIx, DTS Neo:6 ® , Dolby 3 Stereo, and Hall and

Theater modes, the AVR 335 offers Harman International’s exclusive Logic 7 ® processing in both 5.1 and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more enveloping field environment and more defined fly-overs and pans. Another exclusive is VMAx ® , which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field even when only two front speakers are available. Dolby Virtual

Speaker is also available to create an enveloping sound field when fewer than six speakers are used.

The latest Dolby Headphone modes provide a much more open and realistic presentation for private headphones listening.

In addition to providing a wide range of listening options, the AVR 335 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environment. On-screen menus combine with the EzSet+ system to automate speaker configuration and overall setup, resulting in a perfectly balanced sound field presentation that accurately reproduces the artist’s intent.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 335 features connections for five video devices, all with both composite and S-video inputs. Two additional audio inputs are available, and eight digital inputs make the

AVR 335 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources. For compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD players, the

AVR 335 also features two-input, wide-bandwidth, low-crosstalk, component video switching.

The front panel offers coax and optical digital inputs for direct connection to digital recorders. Two video recording outputs, preamp-out and a color-coded eight-channel input, make the AVR 335 virtually future-proof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new formats right onboard.

The AVR 335’s flexibility and power extend beyond your main home theater or listening room. The

AVR 335 includes a sophisticated multizone control system that allows you to select one source for use in the main room and a different source for audio and video distribution to a second zone with the option to assign two of the AVR 335’s output channels to the multiroom system. Complete volume control in the second zone is possible with a separate infrared control link. To make it easy to operate the AVR 335 from a remote zone, a separate “Zone II” remote is included.

The AVR 335’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 fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR 335 is the perfect combination of the latest in digital audio technology, a quiet yet powerful analog amplifier in an elegant, easy-to-use package.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your AVR 335 has been designed for use with

120-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 selling 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 center 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 center.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements of the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

n Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

n Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

n Avoid moist or humid locations.

n Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.

n Due to the weight of the AVR 335 and the heat generated by the amplifiers, there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the unit’s feet may leave marks on certain wood or veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that may be damaged by heat or heavy objects.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only after unplugging the power cord, 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.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

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, you will need to make the connections 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 a 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 ™.

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 local building codes in your area.

Front-Panel Inputs *(ÓÔ. A device connected here is selected as the Video 4 input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the

Video 4 input. (See page 17 for more information on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

• When the component video jacks are used, the onscreen menus are not visible and you must switch to the standard composite or S-video input on your

TV to view them.

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 to 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 335 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR connection cable into the Multiroom IR Input ∞ jack on the AVR 335’s rear panel.

If Harman Kardon-compatible source equipment is part of the main room installation, the Remote IR Output

§ jack on the rear panel should be connected to the

IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the remote room sensor to control that equipment.

Multiroom Connections

The AVR 335 is equipped with multizone capabilities that allow it to send a separate audio source to the remote zone from the one selected for use in the main room.

Depending on your system’s requirement, three options are available for audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio interconnect cable from the AVR 335’s location to the remote room. In the remote room, connect the interconnect cable to a stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s speakers. At the AVR 335, plug the audio interconnect cables into the Multiroom

Audio Output ¡ jacks on the AVR 335’s rear panel.

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Output ¡ jacks on the AVR 335 to the inputs of an optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3: Taking advantage of the AVR 335’s built-in seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote room. When using this option you will not be able to use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the AVR 335 in the main listening room, but you will be able to add another listening room without additional external power amplifiers. To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote room location to the Surround Back/

Multiroom Speaker Outputs ‚. Before using the remote room you will need to configure the amplifiers for surround operation by changing a setting in the

MULTIROOM menu, following the instructions shown on page 35.

NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional

IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR 335 via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to the

Multiroom IR Input ∞ and use the Zone II remote to control the room volume. Alternatively, you may install an optional volume control between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers. See page 35 for more informatin on the multiroom system.

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 high-current-draw equipment such as power amplifiers. The total power draw to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.

The Switched AC Accessory Outlet ° will receive power only when the unit is on. This is recommended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a

Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.

The Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet · will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet.

Once the AC Power Cord ‡ is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR 335!

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 15

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 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 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, you may find that 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, and sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening position at the same time (without delay from the center speaker compared to the left and right speakers).

When the AVR 335 is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. In a 7.1-channel system, both side surround and back surround speakers are required. The center of the speaker should face into the room.

A) Front-channel speaker installation with direct-view TV sets or rear-screen projectors

Left Front

Speaker

TV or Projection Screen

Center Front

Speaker

Rear-Wall Mounting

Right Front

Speaker

B) Rear speaker mounting is an alternate location for

5.1 systems. It is required for 7.1 operation.

Rear surround speakers are required when a full 7.1channel system is installed, and they may also be used in 5.1-channel systems as an alternative mounting position when it is not practical to place the main surround speakers on the sides of the room. Speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. As with the side speakers, rear surrounds should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears. The speakers should be no more than 6 feet behind the rear of the seating area.

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 toward the center of the wall for the rear speakers.

It is appropriate to configure the AVR 335 for either

5.1- or 7.1-channel operation, but not for 6.1-channels. When 6.1-channel program material or a 6.1channel processing mode is in use, material for the surround back channel will be outputted simultaneously through both the Surround Back Left and Right

Speaker Outputs ‚. Connecting only one loudspeaker to these speaker terminals will not only deprive you of the benefits of 7.1-channel surround modes, such as Logic 7, but will also interfere with the functioning of the EzSet+ speaker setup and calibration process as described on page 20. It may also put undesirable strain on the surround back amplifier circuits and power supplies.

Subwoofers produce 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 six 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 program the AVR 335’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, calibrate the output levels, and set the delay times used by the surround sound processor.

You are now ready to power up the AVR 335 to begin these final adjustments.

1. Make certain that the AC power cord ‡ is firmly inserted into an unswitched AC outlet. To maintain the unit’s safety rating, DO NOT substitute the power cord for one with lower current capacity.

2. Press the Main Power Switch 1 in until it latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the Power Indicator 2 will turn amber, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3. Remove the protective plastic film from the frontpanel lens. If left in place, the film will affect the performance of your remote control.

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

5. Turn the AVR 335 on either by pressing the

In order to view the AVR 335’s displays, the correct video source must be selected on the video display.

The on-screen menus are not available when a component video display is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important that they not be left on the screen for an extended period of time. The constant display of a static image such as these menus or video game images may cause the image to be permanently “burned into” the projection tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the AVR 335 warranty and may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.

The AVR 335 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 an option listing on the screen, making it easier to view the available options.

Making Configuration Adjustments

That selection will also be shown in the Upper Display Line ˜ or the

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The AVR 335 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker configuration, digital input, surround mode, delay times, crossover frequency and output levels for each input source. This flexibility enables you to customize the way in which you listen to each source and have the AVR 335 memorize those settings. This means, for example, that you may use different output levels or trims for 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 that input.

However, we recommend that the first time you use the AVR 335, you take advantage of the simplicity of configuring the system using the EzSet+ process, which takes the guesswork out of speaker size and delay settings, and balances the speaker output levels to tailor the AVR’s sound presentation to your specific system and room. Before beginning the EzSet+ procedure, there are a few adjustments that need to be made to ensure accurate results.

The factory default settings for the AVR 335 have all inputs configured for an analog audio input except for the DVD input, where the Coaxial Digital Audio

Input 1 d is the default. The default speaker settings are “Small” for the front left/right, center and surround left/right positions, and “None” for the surround back left/right and the subwoofer. The default setting for the surround modes for all analog inputs is the Logic 7

Music mode. Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be selected as appropriate when either of those bitstream types is detected. When a 2-channel Dolby Digital source is present, Dolby Pro Logic II will also be selected automatically.

Before using the unit, you will probably want to change the settings for most inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs and the surround mode specifics of your home theater system. Remember that since the

AVR 335 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 only required when system components are changed.

To make this process as quick and 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

MASTER MENU, as some settings require a specific entry in a prior menu item. Remember that once the settings are made for one input, they must be made for all other input sources in your system.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR 335 is to configure each input. Once an input is selected, all settings for the Digital Input, Speaker Configuration, Surround

Mode and Delay Timing will “attach” themselves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory. This means that once made, the selection of an input will automatically recall those settings. For that reason, the procedures described below must be repeated for each input source so that you have the opportunity to customize each source to your specific listening requirements. However, once made, they need not be changed again unless you need to alter a setting.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box or HDTV set-top, may change between analog and digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use.

The AVR 335’s Auto Polling feature allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by permitting both analog and digital connections to the same source on the AVR. Digital audio is the default, and the unit will automatically switch to the analog audio if the digital audio stream stops.

In cases where only a digital source is used, you may wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to prevent the

AVR from trying to “find” an analog source when the digital source is paused. To turn the Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain that the

Surround Setup

The next step is to set the surround mode you wish to use with the input that was previously selected in the

INPUT SETUP menu. Since surround 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 335, it is best to select Dolby

Pro Logic II or Logic 7 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

(“Surround off”) as they are not typically used with multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that surround-encoded material will be used. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for stereoonly source material. See page 29 for more information on available surround modes.

When selecting surround modes for digital program material, the AVR 335 will always examine the data stream and automatically select Dolby Digital or DTS as applicable.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the

The following few paragraphs detail the instructions needed for modes with multiple choices.

On the

DOLBY menu (Figure 4), choices include

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II-Music, Dolby Pro

Logic II-Movie, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo, Dolby

Pro Logic IIx (Movie and Music) and Dolby Virtual

Speaker Reference or Wide. The Dolby Digital EX and

Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes are only available when the system is set for 6.1/7.1 operation by configuring the

Surround Back speakers to “Small” or “Large” as described on page 20 or 23. When a disc is playing that contains a special “flag” signal in the digital audio data stream, the EX mode will be selected automatically. It may also be selected using this menu or through the front-panel or remote controls, as shown on page 28. A complete explanation of these modes is found on page 29.

When a Dolby Surround mode is selected, a menu will be shown, as detailed in Figure 4. The choices on this menu include the selection of the actual surround mode, the selection of rear channel post-processing when the system is configured for 7.1 operation, adjustments to the Night Mode when available with a Dolby Digital soundtrack, the adjustment of special parameters available when either Dolby Pro Logic II

Buttons o to select the desired Dolby Surround mode. If a Dolby Digital source is playing, the initial mode will automatically be selected, depending on the configuration of your system (e.g., 5.1 or 7.1) and the number of channels in the source being played, you may also select a combination mode that applies postprocessing so that Dolby Pro Logic IIx may be used to create back surround channels from a 5.1 source.

This will appear in the

MODE line by showing both the Dolby Digital mode and the second mode, separated by a plus sign (e.g.,

DOLBY D+DOLBY

PRO LOGIC II MUSIC). Keep in mind that the Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes are only available when the AVR is set for 6.1/7.1

operation by configuring the Surround Back speakers to “Small” or “Large,” as described on page 20 or 23.

When a disc is playing that contains a special data

“flag” in the digital audio data stream, the Dolby Digital

EX mode will automatically be selected. This mode may also be selected using this menu or through the front-panel or remote controls, as shown on page 28.

A complete selection of the available Dolby surround modes is found in the chart on page 29.

When Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Music is selected as the listening mode, three special settings are available to tailor the sound field to your listening room environment and your individual taste and preferences. (When other Dolby Surround modes are selected, dotted lines will indicate that these settings are not active.)

• Center Width: This setting adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front soundstage between the center and front left/right speakers. The lower settings spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right channels. A higher number (up to “7”) produces a tighter center channel presentation.

• Dimension: This setting alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a shallower presentation that appears to move sounds toward the front of the room, or a deeper presentation that appears to move the center of the sound field toward the back of the room. The setting of “O” is a neutral default, with the range of adjustment shown as

“R-3” for a deeper, rear-oriented sound to “F-3” for a shallower, front-oriented sound.

• Panorama: Switch this setting on or off to add an enveloping wraparound presentation that increases the perception of sound along the sides of the room.

To change these parameters, press the

The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that uses special processing to preserve the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the sonic impact of a digital source. The Night mode is only available when specially encoded Dolby Digital signals are played.

To adjust the Night mode setting, make certain that the

OFF: When OFF appears, the Night mode will not function.

MID: When MID appears, a mild compression will be applied.

MAX: When MAX appears, a more severe compression algorithm will be applied.

We recommend that you select the MID setting as a starting point and change to the

MAX setting later, if desired.

The Night mode may also be adjusted directly any time a Dolby Digital source is playing by pressing the

Night Mode Button l. When the button is pressed,

D-RANGE will appear in the lower third of the video screen and in the Lower Display Line

Buttons within 3 seconds to select the desired setting.

The last option line in this menu is the setting to turn the unit’s upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this feature is turned off, which means that digital sources are processed at their native sample rate. For example, a 48kHz digital source will be processed at

48kHz. However, the AVR 335 allows you to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz for added resolution.

To take advantage of this feature, press the

Automated Speaker Setup Using EzSet+

The AVR 335 is one of the first receivers in its class to offer automated speaker setup and system calibration.

This process greatly simplifies the installation of your new receiver by using a series of test signals and the power of an advanced digital signal processing system to eliminate the need for manual adjustment of speaker “size”, crossover, delay and output level settings. With EzSet+ your new receiver even alerts you to errors in speaker connections that prevent a speaker from functioning.

With EzSet+ 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 procedures. The end result is a system calibration profile that enables your new receiver to deliver the best possible 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+ to calibrate your system, but if desired you may also make any of the configuration settings manually, or trim the settings provided by EzSet+ by following the instructions on pages 22 through 26.

If you wish to configure your AVR manually, or if for some reason your EzSet+ microphone is unavailable, you may still do so by following the instructions on pages 22 through 26.

Step 1: EzSet+ requires that your listening room have as little background noise as possible to avoid interfering with the measurement of tones produced by your

AVR during the setup procedure. Turn off all loud fans, air conditioners and other equipment, and try to avoid making any noise during the process.

Step 2: The EzSet+ microphone should be placed in either your usual listening position or, if there is a large seating area, the center of the room, at the listeners’ ear level. You may find it convenient to use a camera tripod for stable placement of the EzSet+ microphone at the correct height. The microphone includes a threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.

Step 3: Plug the EzSet+ microphone into the

AVR 335’s Headphone Jack 4, making certain that the mini-plug to 1/4" phone plug adaptor supplied with the microphone is firmly connected. The microphone cable is approximately 20 feet long, which should accommodate most listening room situations. If required, you may use an optional extension cable, available at most electronics stores, for use in larger rooms. However, we recommend that you avoid using extension cords for the microphone cable, as they may adversely affect the test results.

Step 4: Once the microphone is properly positioned and plugged in, proceed to the EzSet+ menus by first pressing the OSD Button v to bring the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Next, press the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Buttons n to move the onscreen cursor to the

EzSet+ menu line. Press the Set Button p to move to the next screen

(Figure 5).

Step 5: The first screen of the EzSet+ system will now appear to remind you to plug in the microphone.

If you have not already done so, plug the microphone into the Headphone Jack 4 as described in steps

2 and 3. When you are ready to proceed, make certain that the cursor is pointing to

YES and press the

Set Button p. If you do not wish to continue with the EzSet+ process, press the ‹/› Navigation

Buttons o and then press the Set Button p to return to the

MASTER MENU. Note that if you attempt to move to the next menu without plugging in the microphone, a reminder message will flash at the bottom of the screen.

Figure 5

Step 6: After entering

YES to start the EzSet+ system, you will next see a brief warning message, and the screen will then change to the main EzSet+ menu.

The WARNING screen is a reminder that in order for the system to perform accurate measurements, it is important that the listening room be as quiet as possible. After 5 seconds, the screen will change again to display the main EzSet+ menu (Figure 6).

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. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level. 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 run the

EzSet+ process, or that you do not use EzSet+ and enter the configuration settings manually, as described on pages 22 through 26.

Step 7: The

WARNING screen will automatically be replaced by the main EzSet+ menu (Figure 6).

While this screen is visible, you may start and stop the calibration process, or monitor the progress of the measurements and view the results. When the screen first appears, you will see

MEASUREMENT:

STOP on the first line of the menu list. To start the

EzSet+ test process, you must first tell the system how many speakers are in your system. To do that, choose one of these two options:

• If your system includes a full complement of seven main speakers (front left/center/front right/surround right/surround back right/surround back left/surround left) and a subwoofer, press the

Step 8: Once EzSet+ has been started, you will hear test signals circulate among all of the speakers as the system sets the master level, checks to see where there are speakers, sets the distance measurement and calculates delay time settings, sets the speaker

“size”, and sets the speaker crossover point. During the measurement and calibration process, you may observe the progress of the testing by reading the messages that appear in the second line of the menu listing. When the EzSet+ screen first appears, it contains a series of dashes, but as the test and measurement proceeds, you will see the following messages as the individual measurements are taken:

• System Level: A

SETTING VOLUME

message will appear to indicate that the system is setting the overall volume level to the proper level as a prelude to testing the individual channels.

During this test, you will see a message in the last line of the menu screen change as the volume level is adjusted.

• Speaker Check: The system will circulate a test signal to determine which channels have a speaker connected. During this test, you will see the name of each channel position displayed while a signal is sent to that speaker.

NOTE: While this test detects whether a speaker is connected to a particular output, it cannot determine whether the speaker is in the correct position. (For example, it can tell whether a speaker is connected to the Surround Right output, but it cannot tell whether the speaker is on the right or left side of your listening room.) For that reason, we strongly recommend that you try to listen as the tone circulates, matching the name shown for each channel to the location of the speaker. If a tone is heard from a speaker position that does not match the on-screen message, stop EzSet+, exit the menus, turn your receiver off and check for proper speaker connections on the rear panel before resuming the setup.

When this test is complete,

YES will be shown to the right of

SPEAKER CHECK on the menu screen.

• Speaker Delay: This test will circulate the tones again as the name of each channel is shown to measure the distance from the microphone to each speaker. The results of these tests will be used to set the delay time settings for each active speaker position. When this test is complete, a speaker-tomicrophone (listening position) distance will be shown to the right of

SPEAKER DELAY

line on the menu screen.

• Speaker Level: This test circulates a test signal and measures the output from each active speaker position. The results of the measurements are used to adjust the individual channel outputs as needed, so that they are identical. This is an essential element of ensuring that surround sound fields are properly reproduced. If desired, you may use the results of the automated testing as a baseline and then make manual adjustments to trim the output levels to your personal taste, following the instructions shown on page 25 or 33. When this test is complete, an output level adjustment number will be shown to the right of

SPEAKER LEVEL line on the menu screen.

• Speaker Size: The measurements and calculations for this test take place at the same time as the test signals are circulated to calculate the output levels, and they are used to determine whether the speakers in your system are “large” or “small” for the purposes of bass management. (If desired, you may use the results of the automated testing as a baseline and then make manual adjustments to the speaker size settings on a source-independent basis, following the instructions shown on page 24.) When this test is complete, an output level adjustment number will be shown to the right of the

SPEAKER

SIZE line on the menu screen.

• Speaker Crossover: The measurements and calculations for this test take place at the same time as the test signal is circulated to calculate the levels, and they are used to determine the crossover setting for each speaker in your system to create a seamless transition between the frequencies sent to your main speakers and subwoofer (if available). If desired, you may use the results of the automated testing as a baseline and then make manual adjustments to the crossover settings on a source-independent basis, following the instructions shown on page 24. When this test is complete, a crossover frequency will be shown to the right of the

SPEAKER X-OVER line on the menu screen.

Step 9: When all measurements are successfully completed, the test signals will stop and a

TEST

DONE – UNPLUG MIC message will appear in the second line of the on-screen menu listings.

Unplug the microphone and store it in a safe place so that it is available to recalibrate your system if needed due to a change in speakers, preferred listening position, or a major change in the room’s furnishings (such as the addition of thick carpeting or plush furniture) that might require different settings. To enter the settings to the receiver’s memory and return to the

Master Menu, press the

Navigation Buttons o to scroll through the list of speaker positions. The data on each line will also be entered into the listings on the individual

SPEAKER SETUP, DELAY

ADJUST and CHANNEL ADJUST menus once you exit

EzSet+.

Step 10: If the measurements are not successful due to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, an

ERROR

message and menu will appear, as shown in Figure 7.

The EzSet+ system 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 tests to any of those three channel pairs indicates that one, but not both of the speakers in the pair is present, the menu will show

NONE

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 and turn the receiver off.

Check all speaker wire connections and then rerun EzSet+.

If you do not wish to make any manual adjustments to the settings, you may skip the rest of this section and proceed to the Basic Operation section of this manual on page 27 to learn how to

operate AVR 335. For those situations where you may wish to make a change to the settings entered by

EzSet+, follow the instructions on the following pages.

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR 335 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that decide whether your system will use the “5-channel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes, as well as determining which speakers receive low-frequency

(bass) information.

If you have already completed an automated setup using EzSet+ the settings calculated during that procedure will already appear. No further adjustment is required unless you wish to change a specific item to reflect your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration.

For each of these settings, use the

LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers. Use the

SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 60Hz. Note that when

“small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the

“large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability 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.

This menu screen also allows you to enter the settings for the AVR 335’s Quadruple Crossover feature, which allows a different crossover point to be used for the front left/right, center and surround speakers. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to customize the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for speaker setup through the

SPEAKER SETUP menu

(Figure 9). If that menu is not already on your screen from the prior adjustments, press the OSD Button

v to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the

¤

Button n until the cursor is on the

SPEAKER SETUP line. At this point, press the Set Button p to bring up the

SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 8).

Figure 8

The first line of the

SPEAKER SETUP menu

(Figure 8) allows you to switch the menu to change either the speaker size setting or the exact crossover point used for that speaker group. For the first pass through the menu, leave the setting at its default option of

SIZE, and then proceed as outlined below. Once the speaker choices have been set, you may wish to return to this line to change the option so that the crossover settings may be adjusted.

Begin the speaker setup process by making certain that the cursor is pointing toward the

LEFT/RIGHT line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers’ configuration, press the

‹

/

›

Buttons

o so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.

When SMALL is selected, low frequencies will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the front channels.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the

SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass information may also be directed to the front left/right speakers, a subwoofer or both.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to the

LARGE option and the surround mode is set to

"Surround Off", or pure two-channel stereo, when an analog signal source is present it will be routed directly from the input to the volume control without being digitized or processed. If you have full-range front speakers and wish to remove all digital processing from the circuit path, select this configuration. If you wish to set this option for use with only one input, such as a CD player that uses an external DAC or an optional, external phono preamp, choose the

INDEPENDENT

setting on the

BASS MGR line at the bottom of this menu so that only those inputs where the analog bypass is desired will be routed in this fashion, while other analog inputs such as a VCR or cable box will be digitized for surround processing.

When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the

¤

Button n to move the cursor to CENTER.

Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o to select the option that best describes your system, based on the speaker definitions shown below.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency center channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the center channel.

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

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode, the “large” option will not be available for the center speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a problem with your receiver.

When

NONE is selected, no signals 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. When only front left and right speakers are used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx is a good alternative mode.

When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the

¤

Button n to move the cursor to

SURROUND.

Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o to select the option that best describes your surround speakers based on the speaker definitions shown on this page.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround channel.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs, and

NO surround channel signals 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. For optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode should be used.

NOTE: In order to adjust the speaker settings for the surround back channels, a Dolby Digital or DTS source must be playing. This enables the system to activate the surround back processing mode.

22 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

When you have completed your selections for the main surround channels, press the

¤

Button n on the remote to move the cursor to SURR BACK.

This line serves two functions in that it not only configures the setting for the surround back channels when they are present; it also tells the AVR 335’s processing system to configure the unit for either 5.1

or 6.1/7.1 operation.

When

MAIN appears on this line, the system is configured for 7.1 operation with the surround back left/right Speaker Outputs 9 receiving the main channel feed. When

MULTI appears, those outputs will receive the feed from the multiroom system and an optional power qualifier must be connected to the SBL/SBR Preamp Outputs 6 for 7.1 operation.

Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o to select the option that best describes the speakers in use at the left and right back surround positions based on the definitions on this page:

When NONE is selected, the system will adjust so that only 5.1-channel surround processing/decoding modes are available and the surround back amplifier channels will not be used. When this is the case for your system you may wish to take advantage of the availability of this amplifier channel pair for use in powering a second set of speakers that have their source selected by the AVR 335’s multiroom control system.

See page 35 for more information.

When

SMALL is selected, the system will adjust so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround processing/ decoding modes are available, and low-frequency information below the crossover point will be sent to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround back channel.

When

LARGE is selected, the system will adjust so that all 6.1/7.1 surround processing/decoding modes are available, and a full-range signal will be sent to the surround back channels, with no low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer output.

When you have completed your selection for the back surround channels, press the

¤

Button n to move the cursor to

SUBWOOFER.

Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o on the remote to select the option that best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be set to

SUB, which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

LARGE, three options are available:

• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR 335, press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o so that

NONE

appears in the on-screen menu. When this option is selected, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right “main” speakers.

• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR 335, you have the option to have the front left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the

AVR 335 is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated Low-Frequency Effects, or

LFE, soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass created for certain movies.

Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o so that

SUB

(LFE) appears in the on-screen menu.

• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or Surround mode you are listening to, press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o so that

SUB LFE+L/R appears in the onscreen menu. When this option is selected, a fullrange signal will be sent to the front left/right

“main” speakers, and the subwoofer will receive the bass frequencies under frequency selected, as described below.

When all initial speaker “size” settings have been made, you now have the option to take advantage of the AVR 335’s Quadruple Crossover system, which allows individual crossover settings to be made for each speaker grouping. The low-frequency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. Depending on the design and driver complement of your speakers, it is defined as the frequency below which the signal should be redirected to the subwoofer, and is therefore usually the lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of reproducing. If your main speakers include an onboard powered woofer section intended to serve the function of a subwoofer, the crossover point should be set at the frequency where the loudspeaker divides the signal between its powered woofer section and any other drivers.

If you have already run EzSet+ the settings calculated during that procedure will already appear. No further adjustment is required unless you wish to conform a specific item to your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration.

Before making any changes to the settings for the crossover point, we suggest that you find the crossover point for the speakers in each of the three groupings, front left/right, center and surrounds, by looking at the specifications page of the speakers’ owner’s manual, by getting that information from the manufacturer’s Web site, or by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer’s customer service department.

You will need this figure to accurately configure the next group of settings.

The factory default setting for all speaker positions is

100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all channels, no adjustments are needed and you may skip this section. Should you wish to change a setting, proceed by pressing the

⁄

Button n so that the cursor moves back up to the top of the list of setting options.

Press the

⁄

¤

Buttons n so that

X-OVER

is highlighted and the menu data will change to the screen shown in Figure 9.

To change the setting for any of the three speaker groups, press the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons n until the cursor is next to the line where you wish to make a change and then press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o until the desired setting appears. The available choices at which point low-frequency information will be sent to the subwoofer, rather than to the main speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 150Hz and 200Hz.

Pick the choice that is identical to the information for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possible, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the speaker’s lowfrequency limit or crossover point to avoid the creation of a low-frequency “hole” where your system will have no bass information.

In cases where

LARGE is selected as the front channel speaker option and

LFE+L/R is selected as the subwoofer option, the front channel sound information below the setting shown will be sent to

BOTH the front channel speakers and the subwoofer.

The crossover settings for the Left/Right, Center,

Surround and Surround Back speakers are used to determine where bass information is sent when it is derived from the main channels of a source. The setting for the menu line shown as

LFE is used to impose a low-pass filter point for the information in the

Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel that is a part of

Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded source material.

While the LFE channel, which is the “.1” you see in surround sound designations, is restricted to low frequency sounds, some mixes may include information

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION that is higher in frequency than your subwoofer is capable of reproducing. To prevent unwanted sounds from being sent to subwoofers that cannot handle them and which do not have a built-in low-pass filter, the LFE option line enables you to select a setting for the low-pass filter that is part of the subwoofer feed from the LFE channel.

The settings available are the same as those tied to any one of the four available speaker positions on this menu. We recommend that you use the frequency that is just slightly higher than the upper capability limit of your subwoofer, as shown in the sub's Owner's

Manual. When the cursor is on the

LFE line, press the

‹

/

›

Navigation Buttons o to choose the appropriate setting.

When all crossover settings have been made, or in those cases where none are needed, press the

¤

Button n so that the cursor is next to the

BASS

MGR line to make the final setting on this menu.

This setting allows you to use the same speaker size configuration for all inputs, or to have different settings for each input. In most cases the factory default setting of GLOBAL will be appropriate, as most listeners do not need to have individualized speaker settings. However, some listeners, particularly those with full-range front speakers that are used for both movies and music, may prefer that different bass management settings be used when listening to music through a CD player as opposed to a movie from a DVD player, VCR or cable/satellite set-top.

To customize the speaker setting for each input, make certain that the

MODE line of the SPEAKER

SETUP menu is set to SIZE, and that the cursor is on the

BASS MGR line, and press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o so that

INDEPENDENT appears in highlighted video. When this setting is entered by exiting the menu, the configuration settings just entered will apply to the current input ONLY, and you will need to go back to the

INPUT SETUP

menu to select another input, and then return to this menu page again to change the settings for the next input. Repeat the procedure for any input where you wish to have a different set of speaker configuration and crossover settings.

When all speaker selections have been made, press the

¤

Button n and then the Set Button p to return to the

MASTER MENU.

Delay Settings

Due to 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 versus surround speakers differs. 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.

If you have already calibrated your system using

EzSet+ the delay settings shown will reflect the results of the measurements made by EzSet+. No further changes are needed unless you wish to change an item to reflect your taste or a nonstandard system configuration. To change the settings, follow the instructions below to enter the distance between the speaker’s location and your main listening position.

The measurements need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate typical listening rather than a specific “sweet spot” position.

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR 335 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 systems, or personal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications.

Although EzSet+ calculates the delay settings for the individual speaker positions with very accurate results, the setting for A/V Sync Delay may only be done manually, since it requires that you observe the program material on your video display while adjusting the delay, if any, required for the specific source. Thus, even though you may have used EzSet+ for other delay settings, the A/V Sync Delay should still be configured as outlined below.

Due to the differences in the way surround modes operate, some allow for a wider range of delay times than others. We recommend that delay times be adjusted using the Dolby Digital mode. If a different mode is selected at a later time, the AVR 335 will automatically restrict the delay settings to those required by the surround mode in use.

Delay times are only adjustable for the Dolby modes, so you will notice that the

DELAY menu may not be accessed when any other mode, such as a DTS or

Logic 7 option, has been selected. In addition, when a non-Dolby Digital mode such as Dolby 3 Stereo or

Pro Logic II is selected, adjustments may be made to the Surround speakers only.

To set the delay time for a specific input, the

DELAY ADJUST menu (Figure 10) should be visible on your on-screen display. If the system is not already at that point, press the OSD Button v to bring up the

MASTER MENU, press the

24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

However, if you have a digital video source or a digital video display that causes lack of lip sync you may use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay the audio signal as it is sent to all channels (as opposed to the individual settings) so that the picture and sound are brought back together. We recommend that this adjustment be made using the direct access controls on the remote, as shown below. That enables you to see the image while making the adjustment; however, you may also adjust it here using the menu system.

To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the

¤

Navigation Button n so that the

›

cursor is pointing to the A/V Sync Delay line on the menu and then press the

‹

›

Navigation Button o to delay the sound sufficiently so that it matches the on-screen video.

Since the A/V Sync Delay setting is best made while viewing the video program that is out of sync with its audio track, we strongly recommend that rather than using the menu system. To do that, first press the

Delay Select Button on the Remote

Z.

The A/V Sync Delay setting is first, and it may be adjusted by pressing the Set Button p within five seconds of when the

A/V SYNC DELAY

message appears in the on-screen display and the

Lower Display Line ¯. Then, press the

‹

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration of any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the AVR 335, as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks with the proper directionality and intensity.

IMPORTANT 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 ambience or 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.

If you have already calibrated your system using

EzSet+ the delay settings shown will reflect the results of the measurements made by EzSet+. No further changes are needed unless you wish to change a specific item to reflect your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration.

Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made. The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session.

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+.

Using the Full-OSD System

Manual output level adjustment is most easily done through the

CHANNEL ADJUST menu

(Figure 11).

1. If you have not used EzSet+, make certain that all speaker positions have been properly configured for their “large” or “small” settings (see “Speaker

Setup” on page 22).

2. Adjust the volume to -10dB as shown in the on-screen display or Lower Display Line ¯.

›

Navigation Button o to raise or lower the output level. However, before proceeding with any manual adjustment we recommend that you first use the

AVR’s internal test tone generator and automatic sequencer to send a tone to each channel so that you may verify that all speaker connections have been properly made.

4. To turn the test tone on and have it automatically circulate among the channels where a speaker has been configured (see page 22), press the

⁄

Navigation Button n until the

›

cursor is pointing to the

TEST TONE SEQ line on the menu. Next, press the

Navigation Button

o until AUTO is shown in highlighted video. At this time the test tone will immediately begin to circulate clockwise around the room, playing for two seconds in each speaker before switching to the next speaker position. The

›

cursor will blink next to the active speaker to indicate which speaker the sound should be coming from.

As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Lower Display Line

T, next to the

›

cursor in the on-screen display, and by the flashing indication in the Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators ˆ. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR 335 off using the Main

Power Switch 1 and check the speaker wiring or connections to external power amplifiers to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal.

5. After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which chan-

nels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the

‹

/

›

Navigation Button o to bring all speakers to the same volume level. When the

‹

/

›

Navigation

Button o is pushed, the test noise circulation will pause on the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circulation will resume after five seconds.

6. Continue to adjust the individual channels until the volume level sounds the same from each speaker.

Adjustments should be made with the

‹

/

›

Navigation Button n only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB on the C-

Weighting, Slow Scale.

You may also make these same adjustments with complete manual control over the channel being adjusted by pressing the

NOTE: The subwoofer level is not adjustable when the normal test tone is in use. The subwoofer output level may also be adjusted when the channel levels are being trimmed to a program source rather than the test tone, as shown on page 32.

When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. To exit this menu, press the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons n until the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, and then press the Set Button p to return to the

MASTER MENU.

Using the Semi-OSD System

The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and semi-OSD system.

To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the

Test Button i. As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will begin to circulate as indicated earlier.

The correct channel from which the test noise should be heard will be shown in the lower third of the video screen and in the Lower Display Line ¯. While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/

Channel Input Indicators ˆ by a blinking letter within the correct channel.

To adjust the output level, press the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons

n until the desired level is shown in the display or on-screen. Once the buttons are released, the test noise will begin to circulate again in 5 seconds.

When all channels have the same output level, press the Test Button i again to complete the process.

If you find that the output levels are either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the procedure, but first adjust the master volume either slightly higher or lower (but not higher than 0dB) to compensate. Do not adjust the volume during the procedure, as that will cause the output levels to be higher or lower for only some channels, resulting in uneven balance.

To make channel level adjustments to an external source, rather than using the AVR's internal test tone, simply press the Channel Select Button m, and each individual channel and its level offset will be displayed on-screen in the semi-OSD display. This is the equivalent of using the

CHANNEL ADJUST

menu with the test tone set to

OFF.

NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the

VMAx or Surround Off modes.

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type and output levels, go back to the

INPUT SETUP line on the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) 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, crossover frequency, Night mode and output level settings will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input.

When all settings and adjustments have been made, press the OSD Button v to return to normal operation of the AVR.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 335 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 33 and 34. 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 in this section.

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 335, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!

26 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

OPERATION

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the initial setup and configuration of the AVR 335, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize the enjoyment of your new receiver:

Turning the AVR 335 On or Off

• When using the AVR 335 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1 on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power

Indicator 2. Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the Standby/On

Switch 3 on the front panel, or the Power On

Button d or AVR Selector f on the remote.

The Power Indicator 2 will turn blue. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from

Standby by pressing any of the Input Selector

Buttons eg ç∂ on the remote or the

Input Source Selector Button ^ on the front panel.

SLEEP OFF will appear in the Lower Display

Line ¯.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off with the front-panel Main Power

Switch 1.

NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left turned off by using the Main Power Switch 1 for more than four weeks.

Source Selection

• To select a source, press any of the Input Selector

Buttons egç∂ on the remote.

• The input source may also be changed by pressing the front-panel Input Source Selector Button ^.

Each press of the button will move the input selection through the list of available inputs.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector

Buttons eg to turn the unit on, press the AVR

Selector f to set the remote control to the AVR 335 functions.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session, simply press the Standby/On Switch 3 on the front panel or the Power Off Button aå on the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear-panel Switched AC Accessory

Outlet ° and the Power Indicator 2 will turn amber.

• As the input is changed, the AVR 335 will automatically switch to the digital input (if selected), surround mode, speaker configuration, output levels, crossover frequency and night mode status that were entered during the configuration process for that source.

• The front-panel Video 4 Inputs ÓÔ, Optical 3

Digital Input * or the Coaxial 3 Digital Input ( may be used to connect a device such as a video game or camcorder to your home entertainment system on a temporary basis.

• As the input source is changed, the new input name

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 2.

• To program the AVR 335 for automatic turn-off, press the Sleep Button j on the remote. Each press of the button will decrease the time before shutdown in the following sequence:

Surround Mode Group Selector 7 to cycle through the three Dolby Headphone modes and select the one that you prefer.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR 335 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 surround-encoding 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 Dolby Pro Logic

II Movie, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, 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.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional surround information, you may find that the Dolby Pro

Logic II, Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, VMAx and the Hall or Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround presentations through the use of the natural information present in all stereo recordings.

Surround modes may be changed at any time by using either the front panel or remote control. To select a new surround mode from the front panel, first press the Surround Mode Group Selector Button

7 until the desired major surround mode group such as Dolby, DTS or Logic 7 is selected. Next, press the

Surround Mode Selector Button 8 to choose the specific individual surround mode.

Digital Audio Playback

38

44

48

Digital audio is a major advancement over older analog

33 43

surround processing 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 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, sound designers have given it that unique designation.

The Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX and DTS 5.1,

DTS-ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be selected when a digital input is in use. In addition, when a digital source is present, the AVR 335 will automatically select and switch to the correct mode, regardless of the mode that has been previously selected. For more information on selecting digital sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.

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.

The Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes are available only when the AVR 335 has been configured for 6.1/7.1

operation by setting the Surround Back speakers as either “Large” or “Small” as described on page 23.

These modes provide a matrixed 6.1-channel presentation of analog sources. See page 29 for more information.

When the 6-channel/8-channel direct inputs are in

An optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the AVR 335 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 Optical or

Coaxial Inputs *(dg of the AVR 335. No demodulator is required for use with DVD players or

DTS-encoded laser discs.

The Surround Off mode provides an analog bypass of the digital processing, including bass management.

Scroll until

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.

DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on select DVD and LD discs, as well as on special audio-only DTS discs. You may use any LD or CD player equipped with a digital output to play DTS-encoded discs with the AVR 335. All that is required is to connect the player’s output to either an Optical or Coaxial Input on the rear panel dg or front panel *(.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible with the

DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo on the player’s front panel. Early DVD players may not be able to play

DTS-encoded DVDs. This does not indicate a problem with the AVR 335, 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 discs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.

Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 sound field is available. When the receiver is set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific

EX encoding is not available to provide the additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.

When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or laser discs encoded with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel.

When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a separate low-frequency channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.

Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory’s benchmark surround technology that decodes full-range, discrete left, center right, right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround-encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when an analog input is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic mode activates original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology that creates a discrete 6.1 and 7.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel stereo sources in systems configured for surround back speakers. Both Movie and Music versions of Pro Logic IIx are available.

Exclusive to Harman Kardon for A/V receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the

SURROUND SELECT menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen, while the “7.1” versions of

Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M 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. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the Logic 7 mode that is primarily used with musical programs. 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

These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog Matrix surround encoding is present.

Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played.

Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to create center-channel information. In addition, the information that is normally sent to the rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker but no surround speakers.

Dolby Virtual Speaker uses advanced technology to simulate the sonic signature of a speaker location even when there is no speaker physically present in that location. The Reference (“REF”) mode activates any missing speakers to simulate a 5.1 presentation with accurate localization.

The Wide mode virtualizes the locations of the front channel speakers to create a wider image and a more enveloping sound field. It is available no matter how many speakers are present.

The Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live-performance theater.

The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (Hall 1) and medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.

When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, Harman’s patented VMAx mode delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the center and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field,” mode should be selected when your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx F, or “Far Field,” mode should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx modes are also available using the Headphones Output 4. When headphones are being used, the Far Field mode will appear to push the sound field away from your ears, reducing the “inside the head” sensation often experienced when using headphones.

This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. Depending on whether the AVR has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation, one of these modes, but not both, is available at any time. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party, it places the same signal at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers.

Surround

Off (Stereo)

The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.

This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.

When SURROUND OFF is selected, the unit is in a “bypass” mode with no bass management. When SURROUND OFF+DSP is selected, the signal is digitized and bass management settings are applied.

Dolby Headphone enables ordinary stereo headphones to portray the sound of a five-speaker surround-playback system. The DH1 mode creates a headphone presentation that resembles a small, well-damped room and is appropriate for use with both movies and music-only recordings. The DH2

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many DVD players have a default setting that does not pass through the DTS data, even though the machine is capable of doing so. If your

DVD player has the “DTS Digital Out” logo but does not trigger DTS playback in the AVR 335, change the player’s settings in the “Audio” or “Bitstream” configuration menu so that DTS playback is enabled. The method for doing this will vary with each player. In some cases, the proper menu choice will be “Original,” while in others it will be “DTS.” Consult the owner’s manual for your player to find the specific information to find the proper setting.

Display Line ˜.

• A “2” tells you that separate surround left and right signals are available. This will be displayed for Dolby

Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs.

• A “1” tells you that there is only a single, surroundencoded surround channel. This will appear for

Dolby Digital bitstreams that have matrix encoding.

• A “0” indicates that there is no surround channel information. This will be displayed for two-channel stereo programs.

The last number indicates whether there is a discrete low-frequency effects (LFE) channel. This is the “.1” in the common abbreviation of “5.1” sound and it is a special channel that contains only bass frequencies.

Digital Bitstream Indications

When a digital source is playing, the AVR 335 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 or LDs, you may select any of the standard surround modes, such as Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of available surround modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the AVR 335 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.

When a digital source is playing, the AVR 335 will display a variety of messages to indicate the type of bit-

• A “.1” tells you that an LFE channel is present. This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1

programs, as available.

• A “0” indicates that there is no LFE channel information available. However, even when there is no dedicated LFE channel, low-frequency sound will be present at the subwoofer output when the speaker configuration is set to show the presence of a subwoofer.

The information in the right side of the display will tell you if the digital audio data contains a special flag signal that will automatically activate the appropriate

6.1 or 7.1 mode. This will be shown as

EX-ON or

EX-OFF for Dolby Digital bitstreams, and

ES-ON or ES-OFF for DTS bitstreams.

An

UNLOCK message may occasionally appear in the Lower Display Line ¯. It does not indicate a fault or problem with your receiver or the digital source. This is your indication that the digital audio data stream has been interrupted or is no longer present.

When the message appears and the indicators flash, the unit’s digital signal processor has no signal to lock onto, and is thus “unlocked.” You may see this message when a DVD is first started until the stream is playing and the processor determines which mode to apply; or any time the data stream is stopped or paused, such as when the menus of some discs are displayed or when the player is switching between the different sections of a disc. You may also see the message when a satellite receiver, cable set-top or HDTV tuner is in use if the digital audio is temporarily interrupted when channels are changed or when a cable box switches from a channel with a digital data stream to a channel with analog audio only. The

UNLOCK

message is normal, and does not indicate any problem with your receiver. Rather, it tells you that the incoming data has simply been paused or is not present for a variety of possible reasons.

When Dolby Digital 3/2/.1 or DTS 3/2/.1 signals are being played, the AVR will automatically switch to the proper surround mode, and no other processing may be selected. When a Dolby Digital signal with a 3/1/0 or 2/0/0 signal is detected, you may select any of the

Dolby surround modes.

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, signal. When this happens, check the audio 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.

PCM Playback Indications

PCM is the abbreviation for Pulse Code Modulation, which is the type of digital signal used for standard CD playback, and other non-Dolby Digital and non-DTS digital sources such as Mini-Disc. When a PCM signal is detected, the Lower Display Line ¯ will briefly show a message with the letters PCM, in addition to a readout of the sampling frequency of the digital signal.

In most cases, this will be

48kHz, though in the case of specially mastered, high-resolution audio discs, you will see a

96kHz indication.

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 Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby

Digital DVD is playing by pressing the Night Mode

Button l on the remote. Next, press the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons n to select either the middle range or full-compression versions of the Night mode. To turn the Night mode off, press the

⁄

/

¤

Buttons n until the message in the lower third of the video display and in the Lower Display Line ¯ reads

D-RANGE OFF.

These indicators are the L/C/R/LFE/SL/SR/SBL/SBR letters that are inside the center boxes of the Speaker/

Channel Input Indicators ˆ on the front panel.

When a standard analog signal is in use, only the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as analog signals have only left and right channels.

Digital signals, however, may have two, five, six or seven 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 DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L” and “R” indicators.

The Night mode may also be selected to always be on at either level of compression using the options in the

DOLBY menu. See page 19 for information on using the menus to set this option.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

• Although the AVR 335 will decode virtually all current

DVDs, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible that some future digital sources may not be compatible with it.

• Not all digitally encoded programs contain full 5.1or 6.1-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 AVR 335 will automatically sense the digital surround encoding used and accommodate it.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same soundtrack. 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 AVR 335. 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. The AVR 335 will automatically sense changes to the bitstream and channel count and reflect them in these indicators.

ADVANCED FEATURES

The AVR 335 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.

Front-Panel Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and indicators remain on at full brightness, although you may also dim them or turn them off as shown in the next section. As an additional option, you may also set the

AVR so that the displays are on whenever a button is pressed on the front panel or remote, but then fade out after a set period of time.

To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode, press the OSD Button v to bring the Master

Menu (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the

Once this time is set and the unit returned to normal operation, the displays will remain on for the time period selected whenever a button is pressed on the front panel or remote. After that time they will gradually fade out, with the exception of the Power Indicator 2, which will remain on to remind you that the AVR is turned on. Note that if the displays have been turned completely off using the Dim Button h, as shown in the next section and on page 11, the Fade function will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items on the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button p to make an adjustment to another menu. If you have completed all adjustments, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system.

Display Brightness

The AVR 335’s front-panel displays are 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 v to bring the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the

¤

To change the brightness setting, at the

ADVANCED

SELECT menu, make certain that the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

VFD line, and press the

›

Button o until the desired brightness level is shown in the video display. When

FULL is highlighted, the display is at its normal brightness. When

HALF is shown, the display is at half the normal brightness level. When

OFF is shown, all of the front-panel indicators will go dark. However, the Power Indicator

3 will always remain lit to remind you that the unit is turned on. The brightness of the front-panel display may also be adjusted by pressing the Dim Button h, as described on page 11.

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

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

cursor is next to the desired setting or the

BACK TO

MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button

p. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system.

Turn-On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the AVR 335 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 AVR 335 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. To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button

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, tuner frequency or any of the configuration settings are changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that it provides 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 AVR 335.

Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The

FULL OSD menu system is used to simplify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 335, 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 (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety measure to prevent image retention of the menu text in your monitor or projector, which might happen if it 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 13). To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button v to bring the

MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the

¤

Button n, until the on-screen

Buttons n as needed. Next, press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o until the desired time is displayed in seconds. This is a permanent setting change, and the Time-Out entry will remain in effect until it is changed, even if the unit is turned off.

Default Surround Mode

In normal operation, when the AVR 335 senses a

Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio data stream, it will automatically switch the appropriate default surround mode, with the AVR responding to the data flags that are encoded on the DVD disc or in the digital video broadcast. In most cases, this is the correct mode, but you may have a particular preference for the mode you wish to hear when Dolby Digital or DTS is present.

The AVR 335 allows you to set the unit so that it will either respond to the default or switch to your desired mode.

If you wish to leave the default so that the mode choice encoded in the disc is always used, no further action is needed. Simply leave the setting at the factory default of ON.

To set the unit so that it responds to the last surround mode used when a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing, press the

⁄

cursor is pointing to the

DEFAULT SURR

MODE line. Press the

‹

/

›

Buttons o so that

OFF appears, and the setting will change. The unit will now use the last mode, not the disc’s default for the two digitally encoded data streams.

This setting does not apply to standard PCM digital inputs or to analog sources. In those cases, the unit will always apply the surround or processing mode that was last used for that input.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

34 ADVANCED FEATURES

The AVR 335 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 335 offers a comprehensive range of options for powering the speakers in the second zone.

n

Using the line-level Multiroom Audio Outputs ¡, the selected source may be fed to optional, external power amplifiers that may be matched to the specifics of the installation.

n

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.

In addition, the AVR 335 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 services 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 14 for the connection of speaker wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR 335.

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.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the AVR 335 needs to be configured for multiroom operation. Press the OSD Button v to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power Off Button aå. Remember that the

AVR 335 may be turned on or off from the remote room, regardless of the system’s operation or status in the main room.

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequency or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

The AVR 335 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, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home theater equipment. Once the AVR 335’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 Device Codes

The AVR 335 remote is factory-programmed for all AVR 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.

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

AVR 335 remote.

33

33

43

42

the correct code has been entered. Press the Input

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

5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT turn off, continue to enter three-digit codes until the equipment turns off. At this point, the correct code has been entered. Press the Input Selector e again and note that the red light under the Input

Selector e 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 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 the power control, but 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 a code cannot be entered to turn the unit off, 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.

Auto Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 335’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:

1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in the

Button n, as that is your indication that the correct code is in use.

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

5. 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 also 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.

Code Readout

When the code has been entered using the Auto

Search method, it is always a good idea to find out the exact code so that it may be easily reentered if necessary. You may also read the codes to verify which device has been programmed to a specific Control

Selector button.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 335’s remote has been programmed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input

Selector e to change the remote from controlling the AVR 335 to controlling the additional product. When you press any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR 335, 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 AVR 335. 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 cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is printed directly on the remote. For many standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions, the standard function icons are printed on top of the buttons.

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 on pages 41 and 42. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram in Figure 15. 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 45 is the Direct button for the AVR 335, but it is the

“Favorite” button for many cable television boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay button for the AVR 335, but the Open/Close button for

CD players.

NOTE: The numbers used to show the button functions in Figure 15 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 335.

Notes on Using the AVR 335 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 whether the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible.

If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see whether another code set will work with more buttons.

To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the original factory defaults and command codes by following these steps. However, once the remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have entered will be erased and will need to be reentered:

2. Press the “3” Button r three times.

3. The red LED under the Input Selector e will go out and the Program Indicator c will stop flashing and turn green.

4. The Program Indicator c will remain green until the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while, depending on how many commands are in the memory that need to be erased.

5. When the Program Indicator c goes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings.

In addition to the items shown above, additional information on troubleshooting possible problems with your AVR 335, or installation-related issues, may be found in the list of

“Frequently Asked Questions” which is located in the Product Support section of our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

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 335’s entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, press and hold the Tone

Mode Button 5 buttons for three seconds. The unit will turn on automatically.

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes and digital input assignments, as well as the tuner presets. 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 center.
