[. . . ] Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 255/ FA10 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 255/ FA10 are truly multichannel receivers for the new millennium. In addition to the traditional 5. 1 digital decoding modes such as Dolby Digital and DTS, they offer the latest advancements in surround technology such as Dolby® True HD and DTS®-HD Master AudioTM and the latest 7. 1 channel versions of Harman's own Logic 7 technology. [. . . ] When you have finished entering the settings, remember to select Back, not to press the Exit Button. · If you set the front speakers to LARGE, you may select from two possible settings for the subwoofer. ENGLISH Figure 10 ­ Number of Speakers Menu The Number of Speakers menu lists each of the speaker groups. Program the correct setting for each group: ON when the speakers are present in the system, and OFF for positions where no speakers havebeen installed. The Front Left & Right speakers are always ON and may not be disabled. Any changes made to the system configuration will be reflected in the total number speakers displayed at the top of the screen. The setting for the surround back speakers includes a third option: Zone 2. The FA10/ AVR 255 is among the few receivers in its class that is capable of multizone operation, allowing placement of a pair of speakers in another room with listeners in the remote room enjoying either the same program as in the main room or a different source. The AVR's assignable surround back amplifier channels make multizone operation easier than ever, since an external power amplifier is no longer required. Simply select the Zone 2 option at this line, and connect the Surround Back Speaker Outputs to loudspeakers located in the remote room. The main room will be configured automatically for up to 5. 1channels. If you wish to change the unit to meters, press the Back/Exit Button until you return to the main AVR menu. Scroll down to the System line, and select it to view the System Settings menu. Scroll down this menu to the General AVR Settings section, and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OK Button to change the setting from Feet to Meters. With up to seven main channels plus a subwoofer, imaging becomes both more critical and more complex. Unlike the rotary balance control, the goal of the FA10/AVR 255's channel output adjustment process is to examine the output level of each channel independently and ensure that each is heard at the listening position with equal loudness. If you followed the instructions in the Initial Setup section, then you let EzSet/EQ handle this critical task for you, simply and automatically. However, if you prefer to make these adjustments manually, the FA10/AVR 255's Adjust Speaker Levels menu allows you to do so, either using the system's test tone or while playing source material. In addition, this is the only method for adjusting the level of the subwoofer. You may use a handheld SPL meter (available at most electronics stores) set to the C-Weighting, Slow scale. Figure 13 ­ Adjust Speaker Levels Menu All of the speaker channels will appear with their current level settings. [. . . ] If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service depot. 50 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Technical Specifications Audio Section Stereo Mode Continuous Average Power (FTC) AVR 255: 65 Watts per channel, 20Hz - 20 kHz FA10: 70 Watts per channel, 20Hz - 20 kHz @ < 0. 07% THD, both channels driven into 8 ohms 7 Channel Surround Modes Power Per Individual Channel, with all channels driven Front L&R channels: AVR 255: 50 Watts per channel FA10: 65 Watts per channel @ < 0. 07% THD, 20Hz­20kHz into 8 ohms Center channel: AVR 255: 50 Watts FA10: 65 Watts @ < 0. 07% THD, 20Hz­20kHz into 8 ohms Surround (L & R Side, Back) channels: AVR 255: 50 Watts per channel FA10: 65 Watts per channel @ < 0. 07% THD, 20Hz­20kHz into 8 ohms Input Sensitivity/Impedance Linear (High Level) Signal-to-Noise Ratio (IHF-A) 200mV/47kohms 100dB FM Tuner Section Frequency Range Usable Sensitivity Signal-to-Noise Ratio Distortion Stereo Separation Selectivity Image Rejection IF Rejection AM Tuner Section Frequency Range Signal-to-Noise Ratio Usable Sensitivity Distortion Selectivity Video Section Video Format Input Level/Impedance Output Level/Impedance Video Frequency Response (Composite and S-Video) Video Frequency Response (Component) General Power Requirement Power Consumption 87. 5­108MHz IHF 1. 3 µV/13. 2dBf Mono/Stereo: 70/68dB (DIN) Mono/Stereo: 0. 2/0. 3% 40dB @ 1kHz ±400kHz: 70dB 80dB 90dB ENGLISH 522­1620kHz 45dB Loop: 500µV 1kHz, 50% Mod: 0. 8% ±10kHz: 30dB PAL/NTSC 1Vp-p/75 ohms 1Vp-p/75 ohms 10Hz­8MHz (-3dB) 10Hz­100MHz (-3dB) Surround System Adjacent Channel Separation Analog Decoding 40dB (Pro Logic, etc. ) Dolby Digital (AC-3) 55dB DTS 55dB Frequency Response @ 1W (+0dB, ­3dB) High Instantaneous Current Capability (HCC) Transient Intermodulation Distortion (TIM) Rise Time Slew Rate 10Hz­130kHz ±35 Amps Unmeasurable 16 µsec 40V/µsec** AC 220­240V/50Hz AVR 255: Standby < 1W, 540W maximum FA10: Standby < 3W, 890W maximum (7 channels driven) Dimensions (Max) Width Height Depth Weight net 440mm 165mm 382mm AVR 255: 14, 0 kg FA10: 14, 4 kg This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.
