[. . . ] Whether the text appears in all uppercase or upper- and lowercase characters, performance and operation remain the same. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 30935_AVR145_ENG 01/12/06 9:53 Side 3 Introduction Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon MADRIGAL II-ST360A- 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, the full suite of DTS modes, DTS Neo:6 and the latest 5. 1 channel versions of Harman's own Logic 7 technology. [. . . ] Note that the crossover point for the surround speakers and the surround back speakers will be identical. That´s why no crossover point for the surround back speakers is selectable or shown in the menu. Figure 10 To change the setting for any of the three speaker groups Left/Right, Center or Surround, 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. Important Note: All settings for the crossover points will be "Global", i. e. they will be identical for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER (see above) was configured for "Global" or "Independent". When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ Button D until the cursor is next to the BACK T O MANUAL SETUP line and press the Set Button F to return to the Manual setup submenu. The Speaker Configuration may also be changed at any time without using the full-OSD on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker Selector 6 on the front panel or b on the remote control. Once the button is pressed, FRONT SPEAKER will appear in both the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display Ò. Delay Settings Due the different distances between the listening position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. For example, when you are listening to music CDs using the CD input in DSP Surround Off mode, you may adjust the delay settings for the front left, front right and subwoofer channels only. The cursor will simply skip the other channels as you navigate through the menu. Therefore, the first time you adjust the delay settings, it is recommended that you select a 5. 1-channel surround mode. For the purposes of setting the delay distances, the Logic 7 modes allow access to the settings for all channels without requiring that you play a source. To start with the delay settings at first select the DELAY ADJUST MENU (Figure 11). If the system is not already at that point, press the OSD button L to bring up the master menu. Press the ¤ Button D three times or until the on-screen cursor is pointing at the MANUAL SETUP line. Press the Set Button F and call up the DELAY ADJUST submenu. Next move the cursor to the UNIT line and select the unit for distances you prefer to enter, feet or meter. Then move the cursor to the F L line where the first adjustment is made. Now press the < / > Buttons Ea until the distance from the front left speaker to the preferred listening position is entered.
