User manual HARMAN KARDON TU910

[. . . ] To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new AVR, please read this manual and refer back to it as you become more familiar with its features and their operation. If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your Harman Kardon retailer or custom installer, or visit our Web site at www. harmankardon. com. Introduction, Supplied Accessories, Important Safety Information and Place the AVR IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Verify Line Voltage Before Use The TU910 has been designed for use with 220 ­ 240-volt alternating current (AC). Connection to a line voltage other than that for which your AVR is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the unit. [. . . ] Before you begin initial setup, all loudspeakers, a video display and all source devices should be connected to the AVR. You should be able to turn on the AVR and view the Master menu when you press the OSD button. If necessary, reread the Making Connections section and the beginning of this section before continuing. 16 TU910 Configure the AVR for Your Speakers Your AVR is flexible and may be configured to work with most speakers and to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your room. Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the Place Your Speakers section, on page 10, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owner's guide for the speakers or the manufacturer's Web site for their frequency-range specification. Although you may set the AVR's individual channel levels "by ear, " an SPL (sound-pressure level) metre purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy. Record your configuration settings in Tables A4 and A6 in the Appendix for easy re-entry after a system reset or after the AVR's Master Power switch has been turned off or the unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks. Step One ­ Determine Your Speakers' Crossover Frequencies Consult the technical specifications for all of your speakers and locate the frequency response, usually given as a range, e. g. , 100Hz ­ 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest frequency that each of your speakers is capable of playing (100Hz in the above example) as the crossover in Table A6 in the Appendix. NOTE: This frequency is not the same as the crossover frequency listed in the speaker's specifications. For the subwoofer, write down the transducer size. Write down the settings in Table A6 in the Appendix. When you have finished entering the settings, select Back To Speaker Setup. Sub Mode After you return to the Speaker Setup menu, navigate to the Sub Mode line and press the OK button to display the Sub Mode menu. This setting depends upon the Crossover setting you selected for the front left and right speakers. If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting will always be SUB. All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer. If you don't have a subwoofer, either upgrade to full-range front left and right speakers or add a subwoofer at the earliest opportunity. If you set the front speakers to LARGE, select one of the three following settings for the subwoofer: L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer, including a) information that would normally be played through the front left and right speakers and b) the special low-frequency effects (LFE) channel information. OFF: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information will be sent to the front left and right speakers. LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the left and right program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the LFEchannel information to the subwoofer. [. . . ] Logic 7 Music mode is well suited to conventional twochannel music recordings. Analogue (two-channel) Tuner PCM (32kHz, 44. 1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz) Logic 7 Game Use Logic 7 Game mode to enhance enjoyment of video-game consoles. Analogue (two-channel) Tuner PCM (32kHz, 44. 1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz) 5-Channel Stereo Useful for parties, the left- and right-channel information is played through both the front and surround speakers on each side, while the centre speaker plays a summed mono mix. Analogue (two-channel) Tuner PCM (32kHz, 44. 1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz) 2-Channel Stereo Turns off all surround processing and plays a pure 2-channel signal or a downmix of a multichannel signal. The signal is digitised and bass management settings are applied, making it appropriate when a subwoofer is used. Analogue (two-channel; DSP downmix available for multichannel) Tuner PCM (32kHz, 44. 1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz) 31 ENGLISH TU910 Appendix Refer to the numbered buttons when using the Remote Control Function List 32 TU910 Table A10 ­ Remote Control Function List No. Button Name 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13* 15* 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 Power On Power Off Mute AVR DVD VID 1 (VCR) HDMI 1 Tape CD VID 2 (CBL/SAT) HDMI 2 AUX 1 AUX 2 HDMI 3 Sleep/CH+ Test Tone AM/FM Vol Up CHOSD T/V Vol Down CH. /Guide Speaker Menu Up Left OK Right Down Digital/Exit Delay/Prev. 1 2 3 4 Volume Down Channel Trim Speaker Adjust Move/Adjust Up Move/Adjust Left OK Move/Adjust Right Move/Adjust Down Digital Input Select Delay Adjust 1 2 3 4 OSD TV/DVD or V.
