For more than fifty years, the Harman Kardon mission has been to share a passion for music and entertainment, using leading-edge technology to achieve premium performance. Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon invented the receiver, a single component designed to simplify home entertainment without compromising performance. Over the years, Harman Kardon products have become easier to use while offering more features and sounding better than ever. The AVR 156 5. 1-channel digital audio/video receiver (AVR) continues this tradition with some of the most advanced audio and video processing capabilities yet and a wealth of listening and viewing options. [. . . ] 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. The AVR's bass management determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers will result in bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The highest notes may not be heard at all through the subwoofer. With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover point. All information above that crossover point is played through your system's speakers, and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. This way, each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and enjoyable sound experience. Step Two ­ Measure the Speaker Distances Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the centre. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times. Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker-placement differences. Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down in Table A4 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Set the Speaker Distances, on this page. Step Three ­ Speaker Setup Menu Now you are ready to program the AVR. Sit in your usual listening position, and make the room as quiet as possible. With the AVR and video display turned on, press the OSD button to display the menu system and select Speaker Setup. The Speaker Setup menu will appear: * SPEAKER SETUP * NUMBER OF SPEAKERS SUB MODE : SUB CROSSOVER DISTANCE LEVEL ADJUST BACK TO MASTER MENU Set Up the AVR, continued * NUMBER OF SPEAKERS * LEFT/RIGHT CENTER SURROUND SUBWOOFER : : : : ON ON ON ON BACK TO SPEAKER SETUP When you have finished, select Back to Speaker Setup. Crossover (Size) After you return to the Speaker Setup menu, navigate to the Crossover line and press the OK button to display the Crossover menu. * CROSSOVER * LEFT/RIGHT CENTER SURROUND SUBWOOFER : : : : 100Hz 100Hz 100Hz 10inch BACK TO SPEAKER SETUP Refer to Table A6 for each speaker's crossover frequency. NOTE: The AVR will let you adjust settings only for those speaker groups you set to On in the Number of Speakers menu. For each speaker group, select one of these eight crossover frequencies: LARGE, 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz.
