User manual HARMAN KARDON LYRIC-F250- OWNERS GUIDE

[. . . ] Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon LYRIC-F250- you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. In addition to the traditional 5. 1 digital decoding modes such as Dolby Digital and DTS, it offers the latest advancements in surround technology such as Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx, the full suite of DTS-ES 6. 1 modes, DTS Neo:6 and the latest 7. 1 channel versions of Harman's own Logic 7 technology. [. . . ] 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 any analog surround mode 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. For optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used. When you are using surround back speakers with your system, press the ¤ Button D on the remote to move the cursor to SURR BACK. This line serves two functions in that it not only configures the setting for the surround back channels when they are present, it also tells the AVR's processing system to configure the unit for either 5. 1 or 6. 1/7. 1 operation. When MAIN appears on this line, the surround back speakers are available for use in the main listening room. If MULTI appears instead, then the surround back speakers have been configured for multiroom operation, and they cannot be configured using this submenu. See page 44 for information on configuring the surround back channels for multiroom operation. NOTE: In order to adjust the speaker settings for the surround back channels, a multichannel surround mode, such as Logic 7, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS Neo:6, 5-channel stereo, Hall 1 or 2 (5-channel) or Theater (5-channel), must first be selected, or a multichannel Dolby Digital or DTS source must be playing. To select that option press the </ > Buttons Ea on the remote so that LFE appears in the onscreen menu. · If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or Surround mode you are listening to, press the </ > Buttons Ea on the remote so that L/R+LFE Figure 10 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 27 ENGLISH System Configuration To change the setting for any of the four speaker groups Left/Right, Center, Surround or Surround Back, press the //¤ Buttons D until the cursor is next to the line where you wish to make a change and then press the </ > Buttons Ea until the desired setting appears. The available choices at which point low-frequency information will be sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front Left/Right speakers in case subwoofer is set to OFF), rather than to the speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is identical to the information for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possible, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the speaker's lowfrequency limit to avoid the creation of a low-frequency "hole" where your system will have no bass information. In cases where LARGE has been selected as the front channel speaker option and L/R+LFE has been selected as the subwoofer option, the front channel sound information below the crossover point selected for the L/R front speakers (when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to BOTH the front channel speakers and the subwoofer. The crossover settings for the Left/Right, Center, Surround and Surround Back speakers are used to determine where bass information is sent when it is derived from the main channels of a source. The setting for the menu line shown as LFE is used to impose a low-pass filter point for the information in the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel that is a part of Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded source material. While the LFE channel, which is the ". 1" you see in surround sound designations, is restricted to low fre-quency sounds, some mixes may include information that is higher in frequency than your subwoofer is capable of reproducing. To prevent unwanted sounds from being sent to subwoofers that cannot handle them and which do not have a built-in low-pass filter, the LFE option line enables you to select a setting for the low-pass filter that is part of the subwoofer feed from the LFE channel. The settings available are the same as those tied to any one of the four available speaker positions on this submenu. We recommend that you use the frequency that is just slightly higher than the upper capability limit of your subwoofer, as shown in the sub's Owner's Manual.
