Press the OK button A again, and use the KL buttons Z on the remote to select the option that best describes your system based on the Center speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When Small is selected, low frequency center channel sounds will be sent to the fronts, if they are set for laRGE and sub is turned off. When sub is on, low frequency center channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer only. When laRGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and with analog and digital surround modes (except with the Pro logic II Music mode) No center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. When NONE is selected, no signal will be sent to the center channel output. The receiver will operate in a "phantom" center channel mode and center channel information will be sent to the left and right front channel outputs and its bass will be sent to the subwoofer output too as long as sUb l/R+lfE is selected in the sUbWoofER line in this menu (see below). This mode is needed if no Center speaker is used. Note that for the use of logic 7C surround mode a Center speaker is needed, but logic 7M works well without a Center too. When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the OK button A, and then press the KL buttons Z on the remote to change the display to SURR SpEaKER. Press the OK button A again, and then use the KL buttons Z on the remote to select the option that best describes your system based on the surround speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When Small is selected, with all digital surround modes low frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the fronts, when sub is turned off, or to the subwoofer output when sub is on. With the analog surround modes the rear bass feed depends on the mode selected and the setting of the sub and front speakers. When laRGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs (with all analog and digital surround modes), and, except with Hall and Theater modes, No surround channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer output. When NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front-left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 stereo mode should be used instead of Dolby Pro logic. When you have completed your selection for the surround channel, press the OK button A, and then press the KL buttons Z on the remote to change the display to S-W SpEaKER. Press the OK button A, and then press the KL buttons Z on the remote to select the option that best describes your subwoofer system. The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions. [. . . ] After a reset the unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered. If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service depot. Instructions for users on removal and disposal of used batteries. Specification of included battery types.
