Example ­ (bold type) indicates a specific remote control or front-panel button, or rear-panel connection jack Example ­ (OCR type) indicates a message that is visible on the frontpanel information display 0 ­ (number in a square) indicates a specific front-panel control 0 ­ (number in a circle) indicates a rear-panel connection A ­ (letter in a circle) indicates a button or indicator on the remote The appearance of the text or cursor for your receiver's on-screen menus may vary slightly from the illustrations in this manual. Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. 2 SAFETY INFORMATION Important Safety InStructIonS 1. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. [. . . ] 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. Use the KL Buttons to move the cursor to the Front Left line, press the OK Button then use the M N Buttons to change the measurement as needed. The values vary between 0 and 9 meters, with a default of 3 meters for all speakers. Use the M N Buttons to move to each speaker in turn ­ Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer, if present in your system. NOTE: When the multiroom system is in use, the surround back channels are automatically assigned to the multiroom system, as mentioned earlier. You will not be able to adjust the delay settings for these channels, and the cursor will skip past them. 24 SYSTEM CONFIgURATION Step four ­ Setting channel output levels manually For a conventional 2-channel receiver, the balance control enables the user to control the stereo imaging by adjusting the relative loudness of the left and right channels, as heard at the listening position. 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 AVR 260'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 AVR 260'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. Make sure all speakers have been connected correctly. Adjust the number of speakers, crossover distance and submode for each speaker in your system as described in Step Three. If you are using a handheld SPL meter with source material, such as a test disc or another audio selection, play it now and adjust the AVR's master volume control until the meter measures 75dB. There are several methods of adjusting the channel output levels, using either the test tone or source materials. In all cases, you may measure the channel levels in one of two ways: a) By ear. Try to adjust the levels so that all channels sound equally loud. b) Using a handheld SPL meter set to the C-Weighting, Slow scale. Try to adjust each channel so that the meter reads 75dB. [. . . ] If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service depot. 48 TEChNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Audio Section Stereo Mode, Continuous Average Power (FTC) 65 Watts per channel, 20Hz­20kHz, @ <0. 07% THD, both channels driven into 8 ohms Seven-Channel Surround Modes Power Per Individual Channel, with all channels driven Front L & R channels: 50 Watts per channel @ <0. 07% THD, 20Hz­20kHz into 8 ohms Center channel: 50 Watts @ <0. 07% THD, 20Hz­20kHz into 8 ohms Surround (L & R Side, L & R Back) channels: 50 Watts per channel @ <0. 07% THD, 20Hz­20kHz into 8 ohms 120 Watts per channel into 6 ohms @1kHz, <1% THD, one channel driven.
