User manual HARMAN KARDON A400 OWNERS GUIDE

[. . . ] With onboard Dolby* Digital and DTS decoding, the A400 delivers six discrete channels of audio that take advantage of the digital sound tracks from the latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television broadcasts. While complex digital systems are hard at work within the A400 to make all of this happen, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed connections, programmable remote control, and on-screen menus make the A400 easy to use. To obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to take the time to read through this manual. [. . . ] If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated, turn the A400 off using the Main Power Switch 1 and check the speaker wiring to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal. Hold the remote in front of you at arm's length, making sure not to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone 7 at the top of the remote and aim it at the A400, not vertically (like you'd do with a microphone). Press and hold the SPL Indicator Select Z for three seconds. Release the button when the Program/SPL Indicator 2 stops flashing and you hear the test noise from the front left speaker. At this point, the EzSet circuitry will take over, adjusting the output level of each channel so that when the process is complete all levels will be equal and at the set reference point. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the extent of adjustment required. During the adjustment you will see the location of the channel position being adjusted appear in both the on-screen display (if connected) and the Main Information Display Y, alternating with a readout of the output setting, relative to the reference volume level. As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will happen simultaneously: · The channel position being adjusted will flash in the Speaker/Channel Position Indicators Q. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the Indicator, there is an error in the speaker connections. If this is the case, press the Test Button 8 TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper Outputs DE. Note that when one of the </> buttons 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. The on-screen cursor > can also be moved directly to the speaker to be adjusted by pressing the //¤ buttons D on the remote. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 23 System Configuration Continue to adjust the individual speakers until they all have the same volume. Note that adjustments should be made with the </> buttons EU on the remote only, NOT the main volume controls. You may also adjust the output levels manually while using the level indication feature of the EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and indicator, simply press and release the SPL Indicator Select button Z on the remote while the test tone is circulating. The Program/SPL Indicator 2 will change color to indicate the level. Because the remote functions as level sensor, in that case all further adjustments can be made with the front panel buttons only, with help of an assisting person. Adjust the level using the </> buttons 5 on the front panel until the LED lights green for all channels. When it is red the level is too high; when it is amber the level is too low. Press the SPL Indicator Select Z button when you are finished to turn the sensor and Indicator off.
