Id #: this line is informational only and identifies the Avr to other devices on your

home network and the Internet for www.radioharmankardon.com.
network Settings: Since most networks use automatic Ip address settings, in most

cases you can set network Settings to Automatic. If you are required to use a static Ip

address and network settings, you must obtain these settings from your ISp or network

administrator. use the ok button to set this line to “manual.” the following settings

will become active: Ip Address, Subnet mask, gateway, primary dnS, Secondary dnS.

use the number buttons to make the entries for all of these settings. when you have

finished, select Apply & Save, and press the ok button. the Avr will enter the Standby

mode. when you turn the Avr back on, it will attempt to connect to the network using the

settings you entered. If the Avr cannot connect to the network using the manual settings,

contact your ISp or network administrator for assistance.

network Status: this line indicates the Avr’s current network-connection status

(connected/not connected).
Apply & Save: Any time you make a change in any of the network settings, the Apply &

Save line will become available. Select this line and press the ok button. the Avr will

go into the Standby mode. After you turn the Avr back on, the new network settings

will be in effect.

IMPORTANT: You must select Apply & Save for your network

settings to take effect.

NOTE: If you have trouble connecting to the network at any time, cycle the AVR into

the Standby mode, and then turn it back on.
Volume Units:
this setting lets you select whether the Avr displays the volume level in

the conventional decibel scale or on a numeric scale from 0 to 100. when the decibel

scale is used, 0db is the maximum recommended volume, with lower volumes displayed

as negative values. (-90db – +10db). the decibel scale is the default setting.
Volume Default and Volume Default Level: these two settings are used together to

program the volume level when you turn on the Avr. Set volume default to on, and then

set the volume default level to the desired turn-on volume. when volume default is set

to off, the Avr will turn on at the last-used volume setting from the previous listening

session.
Unit of Measure: Adjusts the speaker-distance settings for manual Speaker Setup.

Select between meters and feet.
Language: Select the preferred language for the Avr’s on-screen menus and displays:

english, french, Spanish, german, Italian or russian.
Dolby Volume Calibration: this setting determines the dolby volume calibration, as

described in

dolby volume calibration, on page 28. refer to that section for details about

setting the calibration.

RS232 Control: If you have connected the Avr to an external control system via its

rS-232 port, set this line to on to enable the Avr to be controlled by the external control

system. refer to the control system’s documentation for details.
Menu Appearance
Menu Transparency:
this selection lets you determine whether video programs will be

visible when the menu system is in use. Select normal for a fully transparent background,

medium for partial transparency or opaque to completely block video programs while

menus are on screen.
Volume/Status Messages: when the Avr is turned on, the volume is adjusted, the source

is changed or a change in the input signal is detected, a status message will be displayed

on the tv screen. Select how long the message remains visible, from 2 to 10 seconds,

with a default of 3 seconds. Select “off” if you do not wish to see the status messages on

the tv screen (they will still appear on the Avr’s front-panel message display).
Menus: this setting governs how long the Surround modes, video modes and Audio

effects menus remain visible after the last adjustment: 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30

seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes. Select “no time-out” to view the menus indefinitely,

but this setting is not recommended, due to the danger of “burn-in” on some video

displays.
Setup and Slide-In Menus: this setting determines how long the setup menus (main

menu, Speaker Setup menu, Zone 2 menu, all slide-in menus) remain visible after the last

adjustment. Select a time-out period of 5, 10 or 15 (the default) minutes, or no time-out,

which leaves the menus on screen until manually cleared. A time-out period avoids the

possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or crt displays.
Screen Saver: program a time-out period for no activity (with no menus displayed)

before the Avr’s built-in screen saver begins. Select a period of 5 minutes, 10 minutes,

20 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour, or turn off the screen saver. A time-out period avoids

the possibility of burn-in damage to plasma or crt displays.
System Info
Software Version:
this line is informational only. from time to time, harman kardon

engineers may release software upgrades that improve your Avr’s performance

or add features. If you are experiencing difficulties with the Avr, a customer-service

representative may ask for the software version of your product to determine whether a

later upgrade is available.
Upgrade Software: If a software upgrade is released for your Avr, installation instructions
