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. [. . . ] You may need to obtain your network’s settings from your ISP or network administrator. NOTE: We recommend that you directly connect the AVR to a home-network router so that it can directly access the Internet for Internet radio, or access a PC on the network for playback of content stored on the PC (see Listening to Media via Your Home Network, on page 32, for more information). Wireless Network Setup (AVR 3700/AVR 370) If you want to join the AVR to your Wi-Fi network you will need to perform the following setup procedure. Press the AVR button, select System, then select Network Settings. Network Settings Search AP Information iPod Network Setup AVR AP Mode 29 ENGLISH AVR Set Up the AVR AVR Operating Your AVR Now that you have installed your components and completed a basic configuration, you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system. HARMAN AVR App For easy control of your AVR with your hand-held device, download the free Harman Kardon AVR app from iTunes App Store for compatible Apple products, or from Google Play for compatible Android powered smartphones and tablets. The Harman Kardon AVR App controls virtually all the functions of AVR 3700, AVR 370, AVR 2700 and AVR 270 receivers that are connected to the same network as the device that has the app installed. With this easy-to-use app you can turn the AVR on or off, select a source, control the volume and virtually any other function. You can also access and navigate all of the AVR’s on-screen setup menus. Setting Off Low Medium Max Effect No Dolby Volume processing Operating Your AVR After you highlight the Dolby Volume setting, each press of the OK button will switch to one of the options in the table below. The settings do not refer to the volume level, which is adjusted normally using the AVR’s Volume Control, but rather to the amount of Dolby Volume processing desired. Only Dolby Volume Modeler module is active Both Modeler and Leveler modules are active; Leveler module has a value of 3 Both Modeler and Leveler modules are active; Leveler module has a value of 9 Controlling the Volume Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel Volume knob (clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote. The volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB) below the 0dB reference point (-90dB – +10dB). 0dB is the maximum recommended volume for your AVR. Although it’s possible to turn the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. For certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0dB may be too high, allowing for damage to equipment. Use caution with regard to volume levels. To change the volume level display from the default decibel scale to a 0-to-90 scale, adjust the Volume Units setting in the System Settings menu, as described in System Settings, on page 39. To hear DTS 96/24 materials in high resolution, turn off Dolby Volume processing. Dolby Volume Calibration Dolby Volume calibration allows you to adjust the operation of the Dolby Volume circuitry to match your particular speakers and listening environment. The Dolby Volume circuitry in your AVR is factory-calibrated with average speaker sensitivity in mind; however, different speakers may have different sensitivities, which will affect the overall performance of the Dolby Volume circuitry. Use Dolby Volume calibration to adjust the calibration of the circuitry according to the specific speakers you have. [. . . ] DTS-ES Discrete is another Extended Surround mode that adds a surround back channel, but this information is encoded discretely on the disc and is not derived from information contained in the surround channels. 1 53 ENGLISH AVR Appendix AVR Table A12 – Surround Modes – continued Surround Mode DTS Neo:6 Mode Group DTS Neo:6 Cinema Appendix Description DTS Neo:6 analog processing is available with DTS and DTS 96/24 signals and two-channel analog or PCM signals to create a 3-, 5- or 6-channel presentation. Depending on the number of speakers in your system, select 3-, 5- or 6-channel modes, enhanced for movie or video presentations. See below Incoming Bitstream or Signal DTS Neo:6 Music Available only in 5- and 6-channel modes, creates a surround presentation suitable for music recordings. [. . . ]
