Operation
1. Press the Memory button on the
remote. Note that the MEMORY indicator U
will be illuminated and flash in the Main
Information Display Û.
2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric
Keys r corresponding to the location where
you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once
entered, the preset number will appear in the
Preset Number/Sleep Time Display R.
3. Repeat the process after tuning any
additional stations to be preset.
Recalling Preset Stations
• To manually select a station previously
entered in the preset memory, press the
Numeric Keys r that correspond to the
desired station’s memory location.
• To manually tune through the list of stored
preset stations one by one, press the Preset
Stations Selector buttons )` on the
front panel or remote.
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR 310 is
sent to the record outputs. This means that any
program you are watching or listening to may
be recorded simply by placing machines con-
nected to the outputs for Tape Outputs ™ or
Video 1 or 2 Outputs ∞dg in the record
mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to
the Digital Audio Outputs k, you are able
to record the digital signal using a CD-R,
MiniDisc or other digital recording system.
In addition to the rear panel digital outputs, the
AVR 310 offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive con-
figurable front panel digital output feature. For
easy connection of portable digital audio
recorders, you may switch the front panel
Coaxial Digital Jack % from an input to an
output by following these steps:
1. Press the OSD button v to view the main
AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 1).
2. Press the Set button p to enter the
IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2).
3. Press the ¤ button n twice so that
the on-screen › cursor is next to
COAXIAL 3.
4. Press the Set button p and then press
either of the ‹ / › buttons o/ so that
the word IN is highlighted.
5. Press the Set button p to enter the
change.
6. Press the OSD button v to exit the menus
and return to normal operation.
Note that once the setting is made, the Digital
Coax 3 Status Indicator $ will turn red,
indicating that the Coaxial 3 Jack % is now
an output, instead of its default setting as an
input. Once the jack is changed to an output,
the setting will remain as long as the AVR 310
is turned on, unless the setting is changed in
the OSD menu system, as described above.
Note, however, that once the AVR 310 is turned
off, the setting is cancelled. When the unit is
turned on again, the Coaxial 3 Jack % will
return to its normal default setting as an input.
If you wish to use the jack as an output at a
future time, the setting must be changed again
using the OSD menu system.
NOTES:
• The digital outputs are active only when a
digital signal is present, and they do not
convert an analog input to a digital signal,
or change the format of the digital signal.
In addition, the digital recorder must be
compatible with the output signal. For
example, the PCM digital input from a CD
player may be recorded on a CD-R or
MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals
may not.

any copyright restrictions on any material you
copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted
materials is prohibited by federal law.
Output Level Trim Adjustment
Normal output level adjustment for the
AVR 310 is established using the test tone, as
outlined on pages 22 and 23. In some cases,
however, it may be desirable to adjust the out-
put levels using program material such as a test
disc, or a selection you are familiar with.
Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer
can only be adjusted using this procedure.
To adjust the output levels using program
material, first set the reference volume for the
front-left and front-right channels using the
Volume Control У
о.
If you are using a disc with test signals or an
external signal generator as the source from
which to trim the output levels, you may use
the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to
the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this
purpose, press and quickly release the SPL
Indicator Select
to activate the sensor.
While the test tone is circulating, the Program
Indicator c will change color to indicate the
level. Adjust the level as shown above until the
LED lights green for all channels. When it is red
the level is too high; when it is amber the level
is too low. Press the SPL Indicator Select
to turn the sensor and indicator off.
Once the reference level has been set, press
the Channel Select button mÙ and note
that FRONT L LEV will appear in the
Main Information Display Y. To change
the level, first press the Set button pÔ ,
and then use the Selector buttons 5 or the
⁄ / ¤ buttons n to raise or lower the level.
DO NOT use the volume control, as this will
alter the reference setting.
Once the change has been made, press the Set
button pÔ and then press the Selector
buttons 5 or the
⁄ / ¤ buttons n to select
the next output channel location that you wish
to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level, press
the Selector buttons 5 or the
⁄ / ¤ buttons
n until WOOFER LEV appears in the
Main Information Display Y or on-screen
display.
Press the Set button pÔ when the name of
the desired channel appears in the Main
Information Display Y and on-screen dis-
play, and follow the instructions shown earlier
to adjust the level.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all chan-
nels requiring adjustment have been set. When
all adjustments have been made and no further
adjustments are made for five seconds, the
AVR 310 will return to normal operation.
The channel output for any input may also be
adjusted using the full-OSD on-screen menu
system. First, set the volume to a comfortable
listening level using the Volume Control
У
о. Then, press the OSD button v
to bring up the AUDIO SETUP menu
(Figure 1). Press the
¤ Button n four times
until the on-screen › cursor is next to the
CHANNEL ADJUST line. Press the Set
Button p to activate the CHANNEL
ADJUST menu (Figure 8).
