User manual HARMAN KARDON TU912

[. . . ] 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 TU912 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. 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. [. . . ] You may return to these menus at any time to make additional adjustments, such as those described in the Advanced Functions section, on pages 20 through 23. 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 TU912 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. The AVR always sets the subwoofer crossover to 100Hz but uses the transducer size for equalisation. 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. [. . . ] Especially suited to two-channel sources containing Dolby Surround or matrix encoding, Logic 7 Movie mode increases centre-channel intelligibility. See below Logic 7 Movie Analogue (two-channel) Tuner PCM (32kHz, 44. 1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz) Logic 7 Music The AVR is programmed at the factory to default to this mode for twochannel signals. 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 two-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 TU912 Appendix Refer to the numbered buttons when using the Remote Control Function List 32 TU912 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 37 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.
