Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon

AVR 110, you are about to begin many years of

listening enjoyment.The AVR 110 has been

custom-designed to provide all the excitement

and detail of movie soundtracks and every

nuance of musical selections.With onboard

Dolby* Digital and DTS®decoding, the AVR 110

delivers six discrete channels of audio that take

advantage of the digital soundtracks from the

latest DVD and LD releases and Digital

Television broadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard

at work within the AVR 110 to make all of this

happen, hookup and operation are simple.To

obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new

receiver, we urge you to take a few minutes to

read through this manual.This will ensure that

connections to speakers, source playback units

and other external devices are made properly.

In addition, a few minutes spent learning the

functions of the various controls will enable

you to take advantage of all the power the

AVR 110 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product,

its installation or its operation,please contact

your retailer or custom installer.They are your

best local sources of information.

Description and Features

The AVR 110 is among the most versatile and

multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo-

rating a wide range of listening options. In

addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for

digital sources, a broad choice of analog sur-

round modes are available for use with sources

such as CD,VCR,TV broadcasts and the

AVR 110’s FM/AM tuner.Along with Dolby

Pro Logic*, Dolby 3 Stereo and custom Hall and

Theater modes, only Harman Kardon receivers

offer Logic 7®to create a wider, more envelop-

ing field environment and more defined fly-

overs and pans.Another Harman Kardon exclu-

sive is VMAx®, which uses proprietary process-

ing to create an open, spacious sound field

even when only two front speakers are avail-

able. Finally, the AVR 110 is among the very

few A/V receivers that offer decoding of MP3

data, so that you may listen to the latest music

selections directly from compatible computers

or playback devices with the power and fidelity

you expect from Harman Kardon.

In addition to providing a wide range of

listening options, the AVR 110 is easy to

configure so that it provides the best results

with your speakers and specific listening-room

environment.

For the ultimate in flexibility,the AVR 110 fea-

tures connections for four video devices, all

with both composite and S-Video inputs.Two

additional audio inputs are available, and a

total of six digital inputs make the AVR 110

capable of handling all the latest digital audio

sources. Coax and optical digital outputs are

also available for direct connection to digital

recorders.The AVR 110’s powerful amplifier

uses traditional Harman Kardon high-current

design technologies to meet the wide dynamic

range of any program selection.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity

receiver more than forty-seven years ago.With

state-of-the-art circuitry and time-honored cir-

cuit designs, the AVR 110 is one of the finest

receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

4SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Information

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your AVR 110 has been designed for use with

120-volt AC current. Connection to a line volt-

age other than that for which it is intended

can create a safety and fire hazard and may

damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage

requirements for your specific model, or about

the line voltage in your area, contact your selling

dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power

cord attached to your unit.We do not recom-

mend that extension cords be used with this

product.As with all electrical devices, do not

run power cords under rugs or carpets or place

heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords

should be replaced immediately by an author-

ized service depot with a cord meeting factory

specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an

AC outlet,always pull the plug – never pull the

cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for

any considerable length of time, disconnect the

plug from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components

inside this product. Opening the cabinet may

present a shock hazard, and any modification

to the product will void your guarantee. If water

or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire

or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, dis-

connect it from the AC power source immedi-

ately, and consult an authorized service station.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is con-

nected to this product, be certain that it is

grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information

with respect to proper grounding of the mast

and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-

in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding conductors, location of antenna dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes

and requirements of the grounding electrode.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This

reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable

TV) system installer’s attention to article 820-

40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for

proper grounding and, in particular, specifies

that the cable ground shall be connected to the

grounding system of the building, as close to

the point of cable entry as possible.

14 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System Installation

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid

surface capable of supporting its weight, you will

need to make the connections to your audio and

video equipment.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality inter-

connect cables when making connections to

source equipment and recorders to preserve the

integrity of the signals.

When making connections to audio source

equipment or speakers it is always a good prac-

tice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet.

This prevents any possibility of accidentally

sending audio or transient signals to the speak-

ers that may damage them.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to

the CD inputs •.

NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and

variable audio outputs it is best to use the fixed

output unless you find that the input to the

receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so

high that the signal is distorted.

2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cas-

sette deck, MD,CD-R or other audio recorder to

the Tape Input jacks ¡. Connect the analog

Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape

Output jacks ™on the AVR 110.

3. Connect the output of any digital sources

to the appropriate input connections on the

AVR 110 rear panel. Note that the Optical

and Coaxial Digital Inputs gh#$ may

be used with a Dolby Digital or DTS source or

the output of a conventional CD or LD player’s

PCM (S/P-DIF) output.

4.Connect the Coaxial or Optical Digital

Outputs ªon the rear panel of the AVR 110 to

the matching digital input connections on a CD-R

or MiniDisc recorder.

5.Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied

with the unit as shown below. Connect it to the

AM and GND screw terminals ¢.

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM

(75 ohm) connection ¶.The FM antenna may

be an external roof antenna, an inside powered

or wire lead antenna or a connection from a

cable TV system. Note that if the antenna or

connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you

must use the 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter sup-

plied with the unit to make the connection.

7. Connect the front, center and surround

speaker outputs ‹›ﬁ to the respective

speakers.

To ensure that all the audio signals are carried

to your speakers without loss of clarity or reso-

lution, we suggest that you use high-quality

speaker cable. Many brands of cable are avail-

able and the choice of cable may be influenced

by the distance between your speakers and the

receiver, the type of speakers you use, personal

preferences and other factors.Your dealer or

installer is a valuable resource to consult in

selecting the proper cable.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected,we

recommend that you use a cable constructed of

fine, multistrand copper with a gauge of 14 or

smaller. Remember that in specifying cable,the

lower the AWG number, the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short

runs of less than ten feet.We do not recom-

mend that you use cables with an AWG equiva-

lent of 18 or higher due to the power loss and

degradation in performance that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the

appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL,

CSA or other appropriate testing agency stan-

dards. Questions about running cables inside

walls should be referred to your installer or a

licensed electrical contractor who is familiar

with the NEC and/or the applicable local build-

ing codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be cer-

tain to observe proper polarity. Remember to

connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the

same terminal on both the receiver and the

speaker. Similarly, the “positive” or “red” wire

should be connected to like terminals on the

AVR 110 and speaker.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers

adhere to an industry convention of using black

terminals for negative and red ones for positive,

some manufacturers may vary from this config-

uration.To assure proper phase and optimal

performance, consult the identification plate on

your speaker or the speaker’s manual to verify

polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your

speaker, ask your dealer for advice before pro-

ceeding, or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

We also recommend that the length of cable

used to connect speaker pairs be identical.

For example, use the same length piece of

cable to connect the front-left and front-right

or surround-left and surround-right speakers,

even if the speakers are a different distance

from the AVR 110.

8. Connections to a subwoofer are normally

made via a line-level audio connection from the

Subwoofer Output ¤to the line-level input

of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier.When a

passive subwoofer is used, the connection first

goes to a power amplifier, which will be con-

nected to one or more subwoofer speakers. If

you are using a powered subwoofer that does

not have line-level input connections, follow the

instructions furnished with the speaker for con-

nection information.

Video Equipment Connections

Video equipment is connected in the same man-

ner as audio components.Again, the use of high-

quality interconnect cables is recommended to

preserve signal quality.

1. Connect a VCR’s or other video source’s

audio and video Play/Out jacks to the Video 1

or Video 2 In jacks £cek on the rear

panel.The Audio and Video Record/In jacks on

the VCR should be connected to the Video 1

or Video 2 Out jacks ∞bfi on the

AVR 110.

2. Connect the analog audio and video outputs

of a satellite receiver, cable TV converter or

television set or any other video source to the

Video 3 jacks dj.

3. Connect the analog audio and video

outputs of a DVD or laser disc player to the

DVD jacks §‚.

4. Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD

player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV con-

verter to the appropriate Optical or Coaxial

Digital Inputs gh#$.

5. Connect the Video Monitor Output ⁄

jacks on the receiver to the composite or

S-Video input of your television monitor or

video projector.

Installation and Connections

15 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Installation and Connections

VIDEO CONNECTION NOTE: Composite

video signals may only be viewed in their native

formats. S-Video inputs may only be viewed

when the AVR 110 is connected to a TV set or

video display with S-Video capability.

System and Power Connections

Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or

smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may

prevent the remote sensor from receiving com-

mands. In this event, an optional remote sensor

may be used. Connect the output of the remote

sensor to the Remote IR Input jack a.

If other components are also prevented from

receiving remote commands, only one sensor is

needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a

remote eye by running a connection from the

Remote IR Output jack ·to the Remote

IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other com-

patible equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside walls

should be CL3/FT4 rated,or carry any other certi-

fication that is required by the NEC or state and

local building and electrical codes.To avoid inter-

ference, audio and speaker cables should not be

parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path

with,AC cables. If you have any questions about

multiroom wiring, consult your dealer, custom

installer or low-voltage electrical contractor.

AC Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC

outlets.They may be used to power accessory

devices, but they should not be used with high-

current draw equipment such as power ampli-

fiers.The total power draw to each outlet may

not exceed 100 watts.

The Switched AC Accessory outlet ﬂwill

receive power only when the unit is on.This is

recommended for devices that have no power

switch or a mechanical power switch that may

be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into

a Standby mode when they are used with

switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on

using the outlet alone without a remote control

command.

The Unswitched AC Accessory outlet ‡will

receive power as long as the unit is plugged

into a powered AC outlet.

Finally, when all connections are complete, plug

the power cord into a nonswitched 110-volt AC

wall outlet.You’re almost ready to enjoy the

AVR 110!

16 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

System Configuration

When all audio, video and system connections

have been made, there are a few configuration

adjustments that must be made.A few minutes

spent to correctly configure and calibrate the

unit will greatly add to your listening experience.

Speaker Selection and Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannel

home-theater system can have a noticeable

impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

No matter which type or brand of speakers is

used, the same model or brand of speaker

should be used for the left front, center and

right front speakers.This creates a seamless

front soundstage and eliminates the possibility

of distracting sonic disturbances that occur

when a sound moves across mismatched

front-channel speakers.

Speaker Placement

Depending on the type of center-channel

speaker in use and your viewing device, place

the center speaker either directly above or

below your TV, or in the center behind a perfo-

rated front projection screen.

Once the center-channel speaker is installed,

position the left front and right front speakers

so that they are as far away from one another

as the center-channel speaker is from the pre-

ferred listening position. Ideally, the front-channel

speakers should be placed so that their tweeters

are no more than 24" above or below the

tweeter in the center-channel speaker.

Depending on the specifics of your room

acoustics and the type of speakers in use, you

may find that imaging is improved by moving

the left front and right front speakers slightly

forward of the center-channel speaker. If possi-

ble, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they

are aimed at ear height when you are seated

in the listening position.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes

some experimentation to find the correct loca-

tion for the front speakers in your particular

installation. Don’t be afraid to move things

around until the system sounds correct. Optimize

your speakers so that audio transitions across

the front of the room sound smooth, and that

sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the

listening position at the same time (without

delay from the center speaker compared to the

left and right speakers).

Surround speakers should be placed on the side

walls of the room,at or slightly behind the

listening position.The center of the speaker

should face into the room.The speakers should

be located so that the bottom of the cabinet

is at least two feet higher than the listeners’

ears when the listeners are seated in the

desired area.

If side-wall mounting is not practical, the

speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind

the listening position.Again, they should be

located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at

least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears.

The speakers should be no more than six feet

behind the rear of the seating area.

Subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, so

they may be placed almost anywhere in a

room.Actual placement should be based on

room size and shape and the type of subwoofer

used. One method of finding the optimal loca-

tion for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in

the front of the room, about six inches from a

wall, or near the front corner of the room.

Another method is to temporarily place the

subwoofer at your normal listening position,

and then walk around the room until you find

a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place

the subwoofer in that spot.You should also

follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s man-

ufacturer, or you may wish to experiment with

the best location for a subwoofer in your lis-

tening room.

Once the speakers have been placed in the

room and connected, the remaining steps

in the setup process are to program the

AVR 110’s bass management system for the

type of speakers used in your system, calibrate

the output levels, and set the delay times used

by the surround-sound processor.

17 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

System Configuration

System Setup

Once the speakers have been placed in the

room and connected, the remaining steps in

the setup process are to program the AVR 110’s

bass management system for the type of

speakers used in your system, calibrate the

output levels, and set the delay times used by

the surround-sound processor.

The AVR 110 features an advanced memory

system that enables you to establish different

configurations for the speaker configuration,

surround mode, delay times, and output levels

for each input source.This flexibility enables

you to custom-tailor the way in which you lis-

ten to each source and have the AVR 110

memorize those settings.This means, for exam-

ple, that you may use different output levels or

trims for different sources, or set different

speaker configurations with the resultant

changes to the bass management system. Once

these settings are made, they will automatically

be recalled whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for the AVR 110

have all inputs configured for an analog source,

stereo as the surround mode, the front left and

right speakers set to “large,” and a subwoofer

connected. Before using the unit, you will prob-

ably want to change the settings for most

inputs so that they are properly configured to

reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the

type of speakers installed and the surround

mode specifics. Remember that since the

AVR 110 memorizes the settings for each input

individually, you will need to make these adjust-

ments for each input used. However, once they

are made, further adjustment is only required

when system components are changed.

Once you have completed the settings for the

first input, many settings may be duplicated for

the remaining inputs. Remember that once the

settings are made for one input, they must be

made for all other input sources in your system.

You are now ready to power up the AVR 110 to

begin these final adjustments.

1. Plug the Power Cord °into an

unswitched AC outlet.

2. Press the Main Power Switch 1in so

that it latches in and is flush with the front

panel. Note that the Power Indicator 3

will turn amber, indicating that the unit is

in the Standby mode.

3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in

the remote as shown. Be certain to follow

the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are

on the bottom of the battery compartment.

4.Turn the AVR 110 on either by pressing the

System Power Control 2on the front

panel, or via the remote by pressing an Input

Selector efg on the remote.The

Power Indicator 3will turn green to con-

firm that the unit is on, and the Information

Display Ûand other indicators ˜ also

light up.

Speaker Configuration

These adjustments tell the AVR 110 which type

of speakers are in use.This is important as it

adjusts the settings that determine which

speakers receive low-frequency (bass) informa-

tion. For each of these settings use the

LARGE setting if the speakers for a

particular position are traditional full-range

loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing

sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL set-

ting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite

speakers that do not reproduce sounds below

100Hz. Note that when “small” speakers are

used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce

low-frequency sounds. Remember that the

“large” and “small” descriptions do not refer

to the actual physical size of the speakers, but

their ability to reproduce low-frequency

sounds. If you are in doubt as to which cat-

egory describes your speakers, consult the

specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual,

or ask your dealer.

With the AVR 110 turned on, follow these steps

to configure the speakers:

1. Put the AVR 110 in the Dolby Pro Logic

mode by pressing the Surround Mode

Selector 7on the front panel or by

pressing the Surround Mode Selector

definitions shown in preceding section.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency

sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output

only. Note that if you choose this option,

and there is no subwoofer connected, you

will not hear any low-frequency sounds from

the front channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range out-

put will be sent to the front-left and front-

right outputs, and NO low-frequency signals

will be sent to the subwoofer output.

5.When you have completed your selection for

the front channel, press the Set button

oÔ, and then press the

buttons mq on the

remote, or the Selector buttons 5on the

front panel, to select the option that best

describes your system based on the speaker

definitions shown in preceding section.

When CEN SMALL is selected, low-fre-

quency center-channel sounds will be sent

to the subwoofer output only. Note that if

you choose this option and there is no sub-

woofer connected, you will not hear any

low-frequency sounds from the center-chan-

nel speaker.

When CEN LARGE is selected, a full-

range output will be sent to the center-

speaker output, and NO center channel sig-

nal will be sent to the subwoofer output.

When CEN NONE is selected, no signals

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.

buttons mq on the

remote or the Selector buttons 5on

the front panel to select the option that

best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer

position will depend on the settings for the

other speakers, particularly the front left/right

positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be

set to SUB, which is the “on”position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

LARGE, three options are available:

• If no subwoofer is connected to the

AVR 110, press the

⁄

buttons mq

on the remote so that SUB NONE

appears in the Main Information

Display W.When this option is selected,

all bass information will be routed to the

front left/right “main” speakers.

• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR 110,

you have the option to have the front

left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass

frequencies at all times, and have the sub-

woofer operate only when the AVR 210 is

being used with a digital source that con-

tains a dedicated Low-Frequency Effects, or

LFE, soundtrack.This allows you to use both

your main and subwoofer speakers to take

advantage of the special bass created for

certain movies. Press

⁄

buttons mq

on the remote so that SUB (LFE)

appears in the Main Information

Display W.

• 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 mq on the remote

so that SUB L/R+LFE appears in

the Main Information Display W.

When this option is selected, a “complete”

feed will be sent to the front left/right

“main” speakers, and the subwoofer will

receive the bass frequencies under frequen-

cy selected in the next option setting on this

menu, as described below.

11.When all speaker selections have been

made, press the Set button oÔto

return to normal operation.

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the

configuration process for any surround-sound

product. It is particularly important for a Dolby

Digital receiver such as the AVR 110, as correct

outputs will ensure that you hear sound tracks

in their proper place with the proper direction-

ality and intensity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often con-

fused about the operation of the surround

channels.While some assume that sound

should always be coming from each speaker,

most of the time there will be little or no

sound in the surround channels.This is because

they are only used when a movie director or

sound mixer specifically places sound there to

create ambiance, a special effect or to continue

action from the front of the room to the rear.

When the output levels are properly set it is

normal for surround speakers to operate only

occasionally.Artificially increasing the volume

to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion

of an enveloping sound field that duplicates

the way you hear sound in a movie theater or

concert hall.

Before beginning the adjustment process make

certain that all speaker connections have been

properly made.The system volume should be

set to the level that you will use during a typi-

cal listening session. Finally,make certain that

the Balance Control * is set to the center

“12 o’clock” position.

To assist in making speaker configuration set-

tings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel

Input Indicators Ochange as the speaker

type is selected at each position.When only the

center icon box containing the abbreviation for

the speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for

“small.” When the inner box and the two outer

boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speak-

er is set for “large.” When no indicator appears

at a speaker location, that position is set for

“none” or “no” speaker.

For example, in the following figure, the left

front and right front speakers are set for

“large,” the center, left surround (LS) and right

surround (RS) speakers are set for small, and a

subwoofer is set, as shown by the box with the

abbreviation “LFE”, which stands for “low-fre-

quency effects.”

19 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

To adjust and calibrate the output levels, follow

these steps. For accurate calibration,it is a

good idea to make these adjustments while

seated in your favorite listening position:

1. Put the AVR 110 in the Dolby Pro Logic

mode by pressing the Surround Mode

Selector 7on the front panel, or by

pressing the Surround Mode Selector

jon the remote, until PRO LOGIC

appears in the Main Information

Display W and the PRO LOGIC indicator

F lights up.

2. Press the Test button hon the remote.

The words T-T FL 0dB will appear

in the Main Information Display W and

the letters FL will flash once each second.

3.The test noise will immediately begin to

circulate in the speakers in a clockwise

rotation, pausing at each position for three

seconds.As the test noise rotates the

speaker position will be shown in the

Main Information Display W .

NOTE: This is a good time to verify that

the speakers have been properly connected.

As the test noise circulates, listen to make

certain that the sound comes from the

speaker position shown in the Main

Information Display. If the sound from

a speaker location does NOT match the

position indicated in the display, turn the

AVR 110 off using the Main Power

Switch 1and check the speaker wiring

to make certain that each speaker is con-

nected to the correct output terminal.

4.After checking for speaker placement, let

the test noise circulate, and listen to see

which channels sound louder than the

others. Using the front left (FL in the

display) speaker as a reference, press the

⁄

buttons mq on the remote or

the Selector buttons 5on the front

panel on each channel to begin to bring

them to the same level. Note that when

one of the buttons is pushed, the test

noise circulation will pause on the channel

being adjusted to give you time to make

the adjustment.When you release the

button, the circulation will resume after

15 seconds.

5. Continue to adjust the individual speakers

until they all have the same volume. Note

that adjustments should be made with the

⁄

buttons mq on the remote or

the Selector buttons 5on the front

panel only, NOT the main volume controls.

Then press the Set button oÔto mem-

orize the change. If you are using a sound

pressure (SPL) meter for precise level

adjustment, set the volume so that the

meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.

NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not

adjustable using the test tone.To change the

subwoofer level, follow the steps for Output

Level Trim Adjustment on page 26.

6.When you have adjusted the outputs so

that all channels have the same level, press

the Test button hon the remote to

complete the adjustment.

Delay Settings

Due the different distances between the front-

channel speakers and the listening position

compared to the surround speakers and the lis-

tening position, the amount of time it takes for

sound to reach your ears from the front or sur-

round speakers is different.You may compen-

sate for this difference through the use of the

delay settings to adjust the timing to tailor the

specific speaker placement and acoustic condi-

tions in your listening room or home theater.

The factory setting is appropriate for most

rooms, but some installations create an uncom-

mon distance between the front and surround

speakers that may cause the arrival of front-

channel sounds to become disconnected from

surround-channel sounds.

To resynchronize the front and surround chan-

nels, follow these steps:

1. Measure the distance from the listening/

viewing position to the front speakers.

2. Measure the distance from the listening/

viewing position to the surround speakers.

3. Subtract the distance to the surround speak-

ers from the distance to the front speakers.

a.When setting the delay time for the

Dolby Digital surround modes, the opti-

mal delay time is the result of that sub-

traction.For example, if the front speak-

ers are ten feet away and the surround

speakers are five feet away, the optimal

delay time is figured as 10–5=5.Thus, in

this example, the delay time for Dolby

Digital should be set at five milliseconds.

b.When setting the delay time for the

Pro Logic mode, take the result of the

subtraction and add 15 to obtain the

optimal delay time. For example,if the

front speakers are ten feet away and the

surround speakers are five feet away,

the optimal delay time is figured as

10–5+15=20.Thus, in this example, the

Pro Logic delay should be set at twenty

milliseconds.

NOTE: The Theater and Hall modes use a fixed,

nonadjustable delay time.

The Dolby Digital Mode also includes a sepa-

rate setting for the center-channel delay mode,

since the discrete nature of these signals makes

the location of the center-channel speaker more

critical.To calculate the delay for the center

channel, measure the distance from the pre-

ferred listening position in the center of the

room to both the center-channel speaker and

either the left or right speaker.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustment

is required and the center delay should be set to

zero. If the distance to the front speakers is

greater than the distance to the center speaker,

you may wish to reposition the speakers by

moving the front-left and front-right speakers

closer to the listening position or the center

speaker further away from the listening position.

If repositioning of the speakers is not possible,

adjust the center delay time, adding one mil-

lisecond of center-channel delay for every foot

closer to the listening position the center

speaker is than the front speakers. For example,

if the front-left and front-right speakers are

each 10 feet from the listening position and the

center-channel speaker is 8 feet away,the delay

is figured as 10–8=2, suggesting an optimal

center delay of 2 milliseconds.

be used to connect a device such as a video

game or camcorder to your home entertain-

ment system on a temporary basis.

• As the input source is changed, the new input

name will appear momentarily as an on-screen

display in the lower third of the video display.

The input name will also appear in the Main

Information Display Wand a green LED will

light next to the selected input’s name in the

front panel Input Indicators .

• When an audio source is selected, the last

video input used remains routed to the Video

Outputs bf and Video Monitor Output

⁄.This permits simultaneous viewing and lis-

tening to different sources.

• When a Video source is selected,the video sig-

nal for that input will be routed to the Video

Monitor Output jack ⁄and will be viewable

on a TV monitor connected to the AVR 110.

Volume Control

• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level

using the front panel Volume Control Óor

remote Volume Up/Down buttons.

• When listening in the Stereo mode with the

surround circuits off, the Balance Control *

may be used to adjust the relative sound output

between the front left and front right speakers.

• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs

press the Mute button .This will interrupt

the output to all speakers and the headphone

Initial Setting – 0 ms

DTS Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data.Available on special Delay time not adjustable

DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and

a special dedicated low-frequency channel.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC The standard mode for analog surround-sound decoding. It uses information encoded 15 ms – 30 ms

in a two-channel stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and Initial Setting = 15 ms

a Mono Surround channel. Use this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing

the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo,UltraStereo or other “Surround” logos.Surround-encoded

programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies,TV and cable programs, radio

programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to provide a

pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry

surround encoding.

LOGIC 7 C Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either Delay time not adjustable

LOGIC 7 M surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material.The Logic 7 C or Cinema mode

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding.

Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds

with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding

techniques.The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources.

Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater

rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer

(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.

DOLBY 3 STEREO Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to No surround channels

create center-channel information. In addition,the information that is normally sent to the

rear-channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front-left and front-right

channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center-channel speaker

but no surround speakers.

THEATER Surround processing uses matrix surround decoding to simulate a standard movie or Delay time not adjustable

stage theater.

HALL 1 The Hall mode offers a matrix surround choice that simulates a medium-sized chamber hall. Delay time not adjustable

VMAx Near When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, Harman’s patented VMAx mode No surround channels

VMAx Far delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the

center and surround positions.The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when

your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers.The VMAx F, or “Far Field” mode

should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers.

5-Channel Stereo This mode takes advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and No delay is available for

back of a room. Ideal for playing music in situations such as a party,it places the same signal this mode

at the front-left and surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers.The center

channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.

SURROUND This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right- No surround channels

OFF (STEREO) channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.

23 OPERATION

Operation

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the

AVR 110 is its ability to reproduce a full

multichannel surround-sound field from digital

sources, analog matrix surround-encoded

programs and standard stereo programs. In all,

a total of twelve listening modes are available

on the AVR 110.

Selection of a surround mode is based on per-

sonal taste, as well as the type of program

source material being used. For example, motion

pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one

of the major surround-encoding processes, such

as Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo®

may be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby

Pro Logic or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes

depending on the source material.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with

matrix surround information, it retains the sur-

round information as long as the program is

broadcast in stereo.Thus, movies with surround

sound may be decoded via any of the analog

surround modes such as Pro Logic or Logic 7,

when they are broadcast via conventional TV sta-

tions, cable, pay TV and satellite transmission. In

addition, a growing number of made-for-televi-

sion programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas

and music CDs are also recorded in surround

sound.You may view a list of these programs

at the Dolby Laboratories Web site at

www.dolby.com.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying

intentional surround information, you may find

that the Pro Logic, Logic 7,VMAx and the Hall or

Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround

presentations through the use of the natural

information present in all stereo recordings.

However, for stereo,but not surround programs,

we suggest that you experiment with the

other modes.

Surround modes are selected using either the

front panel controls or the remote.To select a

surround mode from the front panel, press the

Surround Mode Selector 7to scroll up or

down through the list of available modes.To

select a surround mode using the remote, press

the Surround Mode Selectorjand then

press the

⁄

buttons mq to change the

mode.As you press the buttons, the Surround

mode name will appear in the Main

Information Display W, and an individual

mode indicator will also light up CDFHI

JKL.As the surround modes change, a

green LED will light next to the current mode in

the Surround Mode Indicators list ˜on

the front panel.

Note that the Dolby Digital and DTS modes may

only be selected when a digital input is in use.

In addition, when a digital source is present,

the AVR 110 will automatically select and

switch to the correct mode (Dolby Digital or

DTS), regardless of the mode that has been pre-

viously selected. For more information on select-

ing digital sources, see the following section of

this manual.

To listen to a program in traditional two-channel

stereo, using the front-left and front-right

speakers only (plus the subwoofer if installed

and configured), follow the instructions shown

above for using the remote until SURR OFF

appears in the Main Information Display W.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over older

systems such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five

discrete channels: left-front, center, right-front,

left-surround and right-surround. Each channel

reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz)

and offers dramatically improved dynamic range

and significant improvements to signal-to-noise

ratios. In addition,digital systems have the capa-

bility to deliver an additional channel that is

specifically devoted to low-frequency information.

This is the “.1”channel referred to when you see

these systems described as “5.1”.The bass chan-

nel is separate from the other channels, but since

it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound

designers have given it that unique designation.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital (originally known as AC-3®) is

a standard part of DVD, and is available on

specially encoded LD discs and satellite broad-

casts and is a part of the new high-definition tel-

evision (HDTV) system.

Note that an optional, external RF demodulator

is required to use the AVR 110 to listen to the

Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser

discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to

the demodulator and then connect the digital

output of the demodulator to the Optical or

Coaxial Inputs gh#$ of the AVR 110.

No demodulator is required for use with DVD

players or DTS-encoded laser discs.

DTS

DTS is another digital audio system that is

capable of delivering 5.1 audio.Although both

DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use dif-

ferent methods of encoding the signals, and

thus they require different decoding circuits to

convert the digital signals back to analog.

DTS-encoded sound tracks are available on

select DVD and LD discs, as well as on special

audio-only DTS discs.You may use any LD or

CD player equipped with a digital output to

play DTS-encoded discs with the AVR 110.All

that is required is to connect the player’s output

to either the Optical or Coaxial Input on the

rear panel gh or front panel #$.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS

sound tracks, the DVD player must be compati-

ble with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS

logo on the player’s front panel. Note that early

DVD players may not be able to play DTS-

encoded DVDs.This does not indicate a prob-

lem with the AVR 110, as some players cannot

pass the DTS signal through to the digital out-

puts. If you are in doubt as to the capability of

your DVD player to handle DTS discs, consult

the player’s owner’s manual.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode you must have

properly connected a digital source to the

AVR 110. Connect the digital outputs from DVD

players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD

players to the Optical or Coaxial Inputs

gh#$. In order to provide a backup sig-

nal and a source for analog stereo recording,

the analog outputs provided on digital source

equipment should also be connected to their

appropriate inputs on the AVR 110 rear panel

(e.g., connect the analog stereo audio output

from a DVD to the DVD Audio inputs §on

the rear panel when you connect the source’s

digital outputs).

When playing a digital source such as DVD, first

select the input using the remote or front panel

controls as outlined in this manual. Next, select

the digital source by pressing the Digital

Input Selector button pÚ and then using

the ⁄/¤buttons mq on the remote or the

Selector buttons5on the front panel to

choose any of the OPTICAL or COAXIAL

inputs, as they appear in the Main

Information Display W, or Source

Indicators BE.When the digital source is

24 OPERATION

Operation

playing, the AVR 110 will automatically detect

whether it is a multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS

source, MP3 or a conventional PCM signal,

which is the standard output from CD players.

A Bitstream Indicator Awill light in the

Main Information Display Ûto confirm

that the digital signal is Dolby Digital, DTS

or PCM.

Digital Status Indicators

When a digital source is playing, the AVR 110

senses the type of bitstream data that is pres-

ent. Using this information, the correct sur-

round mode will automatically be selected. For

example, DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to

switch to DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bit-

streams will enable Dolby Digital decoding.

When the unit senses PCM data from CDs and

LDs, it will allow the appropriate surround

sources to be selected manually. Since the

range of available surround modes is depend-

ent on the type of digital data that is present,

the AVR 110 uses a variety of indicators to

let you know what type of signal is present.

This will help you to understand the choice

of modes.

When a digital source is playing, a Bitstream

Indicator Awill light to show which type of

signal is playing:

DOLBY D:When the DOLBY D indicator

lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being

received. Depending on the settings on the

source player and specific surround information

and number of channels on the disc, a number

of surround modes are possible. For discs with

full 5.1 audio, only the Dolby Digital and VMAx

modes are available.When the Dolby Digital

signal is only two-channel, you may also select

from the Logic 7 Cinema/Music, Hall,Theater,

Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

DTS:When the DTS indicator lights, a DTS

bitstream is being received.When the unit

senses this type of data, only the DTS mode

may be used.

PCM:When the PCM indicator lights, a stan-

dard Pulse Code Modulation, or PCM, signal is

being received.This is the type of digital audio

used by conventional compact disc and laser

disc recordings.When a PCM bitstream is pres-

ent, all modes except Dolby Digital and DTS are

available.

MP3:When the MP3 indicator lights, a com-

patible MPEG 1/Layer 3 digital signal is being

received.This is the popular audio format used

by many computer programs for recording com-

pressed audio files.When an MP3 bitstream is

present, the sound will automatically be played

in the stereo (surround off) mode.The surround

modes are not available during MP3 playback.

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the

AVR 110 features a set of unique channel-input

indicators that tell you how many channels of

digital information are being received and/or

whether the digital signal is interrupted.

These indicators are the L/C/R/LS/RS/LFE letters

that are inside the center boxes of the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Oin

the front panel Main Information Display

Û.When a standard analog signal is in use,

only the “L” and “R” indicators will light,as

analog signals have only left and right chan-

nels, respectively.

Digital signals, however, may have two, five or

six separate channels, depending on the pro-

gram material,the method of transmission and

the way in which it was encoded.When a digi-

tal signal is playing, the letters in these indica-

tors will light in response to the specific signal

being received. It is important to note that

although Dolby Digital, for example,is referred

to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby Digital DVDs

or programs are encoded for 5.1.Thus, it is

sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby

Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L” and

“R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both

“5.1” and “2.0”versions of the same sound-

track.When playing a DVD,always be certain to

check the type of material on the disc. Most

discs show this information in the form of a

listing or icon on the back of the disc jacket.

When a disc does offer multiple soundtrack

choices you may have to make some adjust-

ments to your DVD player (usually with the

“Audio Select” button or in a menu screen

on the disc) to send a full 5.1 feed to the

AVR 110. It is also possible for the type of sig-

nal feed to change during the course of a DVD

playback. In some cases the previews of special

material will only be recorded in 2.0 audio,

while the main feature is available in 5.1 audio.

As long as your DVD player is set for 6-channel

output, the AVR 110 will automatically sense

changes to the bitstream and channel count

and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the Speaker/Channel

Input Indicators Oalso flash to indicate

when a bitstream has been interrupted.This

will happen when a digital input source is

selected before the playback starts, or when a

digital source such as a DVD is paused.The

flashing indicators remind you that the play-

back has stopped due to the absence of a

digital signal and not through any fault of the

AVR 110.This is normal, and the digital play-

back will resume once the playback is started

again.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night

mode, which enables AC-3 input sources to be

played back with full digital intelligibilty while

reducing the minimum peak level by 1/4to 1/3.

This prevents abruptly loud transitions from dis-

turbing others, without reducing the impact of

the digital source.The Night mode is available

only when Dolby Digital signals with special

data are being played.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby

Digital DVD is playing by pressing the Night

Mode button kon the remote. Next, press

the ⁄/¤buttons mq to select either the

middle range or full compression versions of the

Night mode.To turn the Night mode off, press

the ⁄/¤buttons mq until the message

in the lower third of the video display and the

Main Information Display Wreads

D-Range Off.When the Night mode is

active, the Night Mode Indicator Nwill

also light.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON

DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

1.When the digital playback source is stopped,

or in a Pause, Fast Forward or Chapter Search

mode, the digital audio data will momentarily

stop, and the channel position letters inside the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Owill

flash.This is normal and does not indicate a

problem with either the AVR 110 or the source

machine.The AVR 110 will return to digital

playback as soon as the data is available and

when the machine is in a standard play mode.

2.Although the AVR 110 will decode virtually all

DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible

that some future digital sources may not be com-

patible with the AVR 110.

25 OPERATION

Operation

3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs

contain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the pro-

gram guide that accompanies the DVD or laser

disc to determine which type of audio has been

recorded on the disc.The AVR 110 will auto-

matically sense the type of digital surround

encoding used and adjust to accommodate it.

4.When a digital source is playing, you may not

be able to select some of the analog surround

modes such as Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3, Stereo,

Hall,Theater or Logic 7.

5.When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is play-

ing, it is not possible to make an analog record-

ing using the Tape ™and Video 1 or Video

2 Record Outputs ∞bfi. However, the

digital signals will be passed through to the

Digital Audio Outputs ª.

PCM Audio Playback

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non-

compressed digital audio system used for

compact discs and laser discs.The digital circuits

in the AVR 110 are capable of high-quality

digital-to-analog decoding, and they may be

connected directly to the digital audio output

of your CD or LD player.

Connections may be made to either the rear

panel Optical or Coaxial Inputs gh or the

front panel Digital Inputs #$.

To listen to a PCM digital source,first select the

input for the desired source (e.g., CD).Next press

the Digital Select button Úp and then use

the

⁄

buttons mq on the remote,or the

Selector buttons5on the front panel, until

the desired choice appears in the Main

Information Display W.

When a PCM source is playing, the PCM indi-

cator Awill light. During PCM playback you

may select any surround mode except Dolby

Digital or DTS.

Playback from PCM sources may also benefit

from the Logic 7 Mode.When playing back a

surround-encoded PCM source, such as an LD

or surround-encoded CD, use the Logic 7 C or

Cinema mode.When playing true stereo

recordings, use the Logic 7 M or Music mode

for a wider soundstage and increased rear-

channel ambience.

MP3 Audio Playback

The AVR 110 is one of the first A/V receivers to

provide on-board decoding for the MP3 audio

format used by computers and portable audio

devices. In addition, some new CD players are

capable of playing back optical discs that are

recorded with MP3, rather than standard CD

audio information. By offering MP3 decoding,

the AVR 110 is able to deliver more precise

conversion of the digital signals to an analog

output, along with the benefits of listening to

the MP3 audio through the AVR 110’s high

current amplifier and the speakers from your

surround system, rather than the smaller

speakers and low-powered amplifiers typically

used with computers.

To take advantage of the AVR 110’s MP3 capa-

bilities, simply connect the PCM output of a

computer’s sound card or the PCM output of a

portable digital audio device to either the rear

panel Digital Inputs gh or the front panel

Digital Inputs #$.As soon as the digital

signal is available, the MP3 Bitstream

Indicator Awill light, and the audio will

begin playing.

NOTES:

• The AVR 110 is only capable of playing sig-

nals in the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format. It

is not compatible with other computer audio

codecs.

• The digital audio input signal may be either

optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in

the PCM format. Direct connection of USB or

serial data outputs is not possible, even

though the signals are in the MP3 format. If

you have any questions about the data out-

put format from your computer or a sound

card, check with the device’s owner’s manual

or contact the manufacturer’s technical sup-

port area.

Tuner Operation

The AVR 110’s tuner is capable of tuning AM,

FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations

may be tuned manually, or they may be stored

as favorite station presets and recalled from a

30-position memory.

Station Selection

1. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button g

on the remote to select the tuner as an input.

The tuner may be selected from the front panel

by either pressing the Input Source Selector

!until the tuner is active or by pressing the

Tuner Band Selector 9at any time.

2. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button g

or Tuner Band Selector 9again to switch

between AM and FM so that the desired

frequency band is selected.

3. Press the FM Mode button @sto select

manual or automatic tuning.

When the AUTO indicator Vis illuminated in

the Main Information Display Wthe tuner

will stop only at those stations that have a

strong enough signal to be received with

acceptable quality.

When the AUTO indicator Vis not illumi-

nated, the tuner is in a manual mode and

will stop at each frequency increment in the

selected band.

4.To select stations, press the Tuning

Selector button 8u.When the AUTO

indicator Vis illuminated, press the button

for two seconds and then release to cause the

tuner to search for the next highest- or lowest-

frequency station that has an acceptable signal.

When tuning FM stations in the Auto mode, the

tuner will select only stereo stations.To tune to

the next station, press the button again. If the

STEREO indicator Tis not illuminated, tap

the Tuning Selector button 8uto

advance one frequency increment at a time, or

press and hold it to locate a specific station.

When the TUNED indicator Ulights, the sta-

tion is properly tuned and should be heard with

clarity.

5. Stations may also be tuned directly by press-

ing the Direct button t, and then pressing

the Numeric Keys rthat correspond to the

station’s frequency.The desired station will

automatically be tuned. If you press an incor-

rect button while entering a direct frequency,

press the Clear button `to start over.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is

weak, audio quality will be increased by

switching to Mono mode by pressing the

FM Mode button @suntil the STEREO

indicator Tgoes out.

26 OPERATION

Preset Tuning

Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be

stored in the AVR 110’s memory for easy recall

using the front panel controls or the remote.

To enter a station into the memory,first tune

the station using the steps outlined above.

Then:

1. Press the Memory button on the

remote. Note that the MEMORY indicator S

will be illuminated and flash in the Main

Information Display Û.

2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric

Keys rcorresponding to the location where

you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once

entered, the preset number will appear in the

Preset Number/Sleep Timer display iP.

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 rthat 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 )z on the

front panel or remote.

Tape Recording

In normal operation,the audio or video source

selected for listening through the AVR 110 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 ∞bfi in the

record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to

the Digital Audio Outputs ª, you are able

to record the digital signal using a CD-R,

MiniDisc or other digital recording 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.

• Please make certain that you are aware of

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 110 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 Ó.

Once the reference level has been set, press

the Channel Select button lÙand note

that FRONT L LEV will appear in the

Main Information Display W.To change

the level, first press the Set button oÔ ,

and then use the Selector buttons 5or the

⁄

buttons mq 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 oÔ and then press the Selector

buttons 5or the ⁄/¤buttons mq to

select the next output channel location that you

wish to adjust.To adjust the subwoofer level,

press the Selector buttons 5or the ⁄/¤

buttons mq until SW LEV appears in the

Main Information Display W.

Press the Set button oÔ when the name of

the desired channel appears in the Main

Information Display Wfollow the instruc-

tions 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 110 will return to normal operation.

NOTE: The output levels may be separately

trimmed for each digital and analog surround

mode. If you wish to have different trim levels for

a specific mode, select that mode and then follow

the instructions in the steps shown earlier.

Display Brightness

The AVR 110’s Main Information Display

Ûis set at a default brightness level that is

sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room.

However, in some home-theater installations,

you may wish to occasionally lower the bright-

ness of the display, or turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness, press and

hold the Set button Ôon the front for three

seconds until the message in the Main

Information Display Wreads VFD

FULL.Within five seconds, press the front

panel Selector buttons 5until the desired

brightness display level is shown.At that point,

press the Set button Ôagain to enter the

setting.

When FULL appears in the Main

Information Display W,the display is at its

normal brightness.When HALF appears, the

display is at half the normal brightness level.

When OFF appears, all of the indicators in the

Main Information Display Ûwill go dark.

Note, however, that the green LEDs for the

Input Indicators and the Surround

Mode Indicators ˜, as well as for the

Power Indicator 3, will always remain lit to

remind you that the unit is turned on.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it

will remain in effect until it is changed again or

until the unit is turned off.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup

system that preserves the system configuration

information and tuner presets if the unit is acci-

dentally unplugged or subjected to a power

outage.This memory will last for approximately

two weeks, after which time all information

must be reentered.

27 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

The AVR 110 is equipped with a powerful

remote control that will control not only the

receiver’s functions, but also most popular

brands of audio and video equipment,including

CD players, cassette decks,TV sets,cable boxes,

VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater

equipment. Once the AVR 110’s remote is pro-

grammed with the codes for the products you

own, it is possible to eliminate most other

remotes and replace them with the convenience

of a single, universal remote control.

Programming the Remote

As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully

programmed for all AVR 110 functions, as well

as those of most Harman Kardon CD changers,

DVD players, CD players and cassette decks.In

addition, by following one of the methods below,

you may program the remote to operate a wide

range of devices from other manufacturers.

Direct Code Entry

This method is the easiest way to program your

remote to work with different products.

1. Use the tables in the following pages to

determine the three-digit code or codes that

match both the product type (e.g.,VCR,TV)

and the specific brand name. If there is

more than one number for a brand,make

note of the different choices.

2.Turn on the unit you wish to program into

the AVR 110 remote.

3. Press and hold both the Input Selector

efor the product you wish to control

(e.g.,VCR,TV) and the Mute button

at the same time.When the Program

Indicator cturns amber and begins

flashing, release the buttons.It is important

that you begin the next step within 20

seconds.

4. Point the AVR 110’s remote towards the unit

to be programmed,and enter the first three-

digit code number using the Numeric Keys

r. If the unit turns off, the correct code has

been entered. Press the Input Selector e

again, and note that the red light will flash

three times before going dark to confirm the

entry.

5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT

turn off, continue to enter three-digit code

numbers until the equipment turns off.At

this point, the correct code has been

entered. Press the Input Selector e

again and note that the red light under the

Input Selector will flash three times

before going dark to confirm the entry.

6.Try all of the functions on the remote to

make certain that the product operates

properly. Keep in mind that many manufac-

turers use a number of different combina-

tions of codes, so it is a good idea to make

certain that not only the power control, but

the volume, channel and transport controls

work as they should. If functions do not

work properly, you may need to use a differ-

ent remote code.

7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the

unit off, if the code for your product does

not appear in the tables in this manual, or

if not all functions operate properly, try

programming the remote with the Auto

Search Method.

Auto Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 110’s

remote is not listed in the code tables in this

manual or if the code does not seem to operate

properly, you may wish to program the correct

code using the Auto Search method that follows:

1.Turn on the unit that you wish to include in

the AVR 110 remote.

2. Press the Input Selector efor the type

of product to be entered (e.g.,VCR,TV) and

the Mute button at the same time.

Hold both buttons until the red light under

the Input Selector estays lit.Note that

the next step must take place while the red

light is on, and it must begin within 20 sec-

onds after the light appears.

3. Point the AVR 110 remote towards the

unit to be programmed,and press either

⁄

button mq. Each press will send

out a series of codes from the remote’s

built-in database.When the unit being pro-

grammed turns off, release the

⁄

but-

ton mq, as that is your indication that

the correct code is in use.

4. Press the Input Selector e,and note

that the red light under the Input Selector

will flash three times before going dark to

confirm the entry.

5.Try all of the functions on the remote to

make certain that the product operates.

Keep in mind that many manufacturers use

a number of different combinations of

codes, and it is a good idea to make certain

that not only the power control works, but

also that the volume, channel and transport

controls, as appropriate. If all functions do

not work properly, you may need to Auto-

Search for a different code, or enter a code

via the Direct Code Entry method.

Code Readout

When the code has been entered using the Auto

Search method, it is always a good idea to find

out the exact code so that it may be easily reen-

tered if necessary.You may also read the codes

to verify which device has been programmed to

a specific Control Selector button.

1. Press and hold both the Input Selector

efor the device you wish to find the

code for and the Mute button at the

same time. Note that the Program

Indicator cwill initally turn amber.

Release the buttons and begin the next

step within 20 seconds.

2.Press the Set button o.The Program

Indicator cwill then blink green in a

sequence that corresponds to the three-digit

code, with a one-second pause between each

digit. Count the number of blinks between

each pause to determine the digit of the

code. One blink is the number 1,two blinks is

the number 2, and so forth.Ten blinks are

used to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second

pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a

one-second pause, followed by ten blinks indi-

cates that the code has been set to 160.

28 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently

used combinations of commands with the press

of a single button on the AVR 110’s remote con-

trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out

up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter-

mined sequential order enabling you to auto-

mate the process of turning on your system,

changing devices, or other common tasks.The

AVR 110’s remote can store up to five separate

macro command sequences: one that is

associated with the Power On button a, and

four more that are accessed by pressing the

Macro buttons v.

1. Press the Mute button and the

Macro button vto be programmed or

the Power On button aat the same

time. Note that an Input Selector ewill

light red, and the Program Indicator c

will flash amber.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by

pressing the button for the actual command

step.Although the macro may contain up to

19 steps, each button press, including those

used to change devices, counts as a step.

The Program Indicator cwill flash

green to confirm each button press as you

enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power

On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,

press the Mute button . DO NOT press the

actual Power button.

3.When all the steps have been entered,

press the Sleep button ito enter the

commands. The red light under the Input

Selectors ef will blink and then

turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 button

so that it turns on the AVR 110,TV and a

Cable Box,follow these steps:

• Press the Macro 1 vand Mute

buttons at the same time and then release

them.

• Note that the Program Indicator c

will flash amber.

• Press the AVR Selector f.

• Press the Mute button to store the

AVR 110’s power on command.

• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button

eto indicate the next command is for

“TV Power On.”

• Press the Mute button to store the

TV Power On Command.

• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button

eto indicate the next command is for

“Cable Power On.”

• Press the Mute button to store the

Cable Power On command.

• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button i

to complete the process and store the

macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you

press the Macro 1 button v, the remote

will send the Power On/Off command.

Erasing Macro Commands

To remove the commands that have been pro-

grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow

these steps:

1. Press the Mute button and the

Macro button vthat contains the com-

mands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the Program Indicator cwill

flash amber, and the LED under the AVR

Selector fwill turn red.

3.Within ten seconds, press the Surround

Mode Selector/Channel Down

button j.

4.The red LED under the AVR Selector f

will go out, and the Program Indicator

cwill turn green and flash three times

before it goes out.

5.When the Program Indicator cgoes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 110’s remote has been pro-

grammed for the codes of other devices, press

the appropriate Input Selector eto change

the remote from controlling theAVR 110 to con-

trolling the additional product.When you press

any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red

to indicate that you have changed the device

being controlled.

When operating a device other than the

AVR 110, the controls may not correspond

exactly to the function printed on the remote

or button. Some commands,such as the volume

control, are the same as they are with the

AVR 110. Other buttons will change their

function so that they correspond to a secondary

label on the remote. For example,the Sleep

and Surround mode selector buttons also func-

tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down

Programming the Remote

buttons when operating most TV sets,VCRs or

cable boxes.The Channel Up/Down indication is

printed directly on the remote. For many stan-

dard CD players, cassette decks,VCRs and DVD

functions, the standard function icons are

printed on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a

particular button does not follow the command

printed on the remote. In order to see which

function a button controls, consult the Function

List tables printed on pages 31 and 32.To use

those tables, first check the type of device being

controlled (e.g.,TV,VCR). Next, look at the

remote control diagram pictured at the left.

Note that each button has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button

has for a specific device, find the button num-

ber on the Function List and then look in the

column for the device you are controlling. For

example, button number 50 is the Macro 2

button for the AVR 110, but it is the “Favorite”

button for many cable television boxes and

satellite receivers. Button number 29 is the

Delay button for the AVR 110, but the + Time

button for CD players.

Note that the numbers used to describe the

button functions at the left for the purposes of

describing how a button operates are a differ-

ent set of numbers than those used in the rest

of this manual to describe the button functions

for the AVR 110.

Notes on Using the AVR 110 Remote With

Other Devices.

• Manufacturers may use different code sets for

the same product category. For that reason, it

is important that you check to see if the code

set you have entered operates as many con-

trols as possible. If it appears that only a few

functions operate, check to see if another

code set will work with more buttons.

• When a button is pressed on the AVR 110

remote, the red light under the Input

Selector efor the product being operat-

ed should flash briefly. If the Device Control

Selector flashes for some but not all buttons

for a particular product, it does NOT indicate

a problem with the remote but rather that

no function is programmed for the button

being pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 110’s remote may be programmed to

operate the Volume Control and Mute

functions of either the TV or the AVR 110

in conjunction with any of the devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example,since the

AVR 110 will likely be used as the sound sys-

tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have the

AVR 110’s volume activated,although the

remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 110

or TV volume control may be associated with

any of the remote’s devices.To program the

remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow

these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector efor the unit

you wish to have associated with the volume

control and the Mute button at the

same time until the red light appears under

the Input Selector eand note that the

Program Indicator cwill flash amber.

2. Press the Volume Up button and note

that the Program Indicator cwill stop

flashing and stay amber.

3. Press either the AVR Selector for the

Input Selector e,depending on which

system’s volume control you wish to have

attached for the punch-through mode.The

Program Indicator cwill blink green

three times and then go out to confirm the

data entry.

Example: To have the AVR 110’s volume

control activated even though the remote is

set to control the TV, first press the

Video/TV Input Selector eand the

Mute button at the same time. Next,

press the Volume Up button ,followed

by the AVR Selector f.

NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to

the original configuration after entering a

Volume Punch-Through,you will need to repeat

the steps shown above. However, press the same

Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 110’s remote may be programmed to

operate so that the channel control function for

either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in

your system may be used in conjunction with

one of the other devices controlled by the

remote. For example,while using and controlling

the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a

cable box or satellite receiver without having to

change the device selected by the AVR 110 or

the remote.To program the remote for Channel

Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector button efor the

device you wish to have the channel control

associated with and the Mute button

at the same time until the red light appears

under the Input Selector eand the

Program Indicator cflashes amber.

2. Press the Volume Down button .The

Program Indicator cwill stop flashing

and stay amber.

3. Press and release the Input Selector button

efor the device that will be used to change

the channels.The Program Indicator c

will blink green three times and then go out

to confirm the data entry.

Example: To control the channels using your

Cable Box or Satellite Receiver while the

remote is set to control the VCR, first press

the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button e

and the Mute button at the same time.

Next, release them and press the Volume

Down button , followed by the VID 2/TV

Input Selector button e.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-

Through and return the remote to its original

configuration,repeat the steps shown in the

example above. However, press the VID 1/VCR

Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 110’s remote may be programmed to

operate so that the Transport Control func-

tions w(Play, Stop, Fast Forward,Rewind,

Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will

operate in conjunction with one of the other

devices controlled by the remote. For example,

while using and controlling the TV, you may wish

to start or stop your VCR or DVD without having

to change the device selected by the AVR 110 or

the remote.To program the remote for Transport

Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector efor the device

you wish to have the channel control associ-

ated with and the Mute button at the

same time until the red light appears, under

the Input Selector eand the Program

Indicator cflashes amber.

30 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

2. Press the Play button w.The Program

Indicator cwill stop flashing and stay

amber.

3. Press and release the Input Selector button

efor the device that will be used to change

the channels.The Program Indicator cwill

blink green three times and then go out to con-

firm the data entry.

Example: To control the transport of a DVD

player while the remote is set to control the TV,

first press the VID 2/TV Input Selector but-

ton eand the Mute button at the

same time. Next, release them and press the

Play button w, followed by the DVD Input

Selector button e.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-

Through and return the remote to its original con-

figuration,repeat the steps shown in the example

above. However, press the VID 2/TV Input

Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE: Before programming the remote for

Volume,Channel or Transport Punch-Through,

make certain that any programming needed for

the specific TV, CD,DVD,Cable or Satellite

Receivers has been completed.

Reassigning Device Control

Selectors

Although each Input Selector eis normally

assigned to the category of product shown on the

remote, it is possible to reassign one of these but-

tons to operate a second device of another type.

For example,if you have two VCRs but no satellite

receiver, you may program the “SAT”button to

operate a second VCR. Before following the nor-

mal programming steps for either Three-Digit entry

or Auto Search code entry, you must first reassign

the button with the following steps:

1. Press the Input Selector eyou wish to

reassign and the Mute button at the

same time until the red light appears under the

Input Selector eand the Program

Indicator cflashes amber.

2. Press the Input Selector efor the device

you wish to program into the reassigned

button.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific

model you wish the reassigned button to

operate.

4. Press the same Input Selector epressed in

Step 1 once again to store the selection.The

red LED under the reassigned Input Selector will

flash three times and then go out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button to oper-

ate a second VCR, first press the CBL/SAT

Input Selector eand the Mute button

at the same time until the red light glows

under the CBL/SAT ebutton. Press the VCR

ebutton, followed by the three-digit code

for the specific model you wish to control.

Finally, press the CBL/SAT ebutton again.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home-theater sys-

tem, occasionally you may wish to totally repro-

gram the remote control without the confusion of

any commands, macros or ”Punch-Through“ pro-

gramming that you may have done.To do this,it is

possible to reset the remote to the original factory

defaults and command codes by following these

steps. Note, however, that once the remote is

reset, all commands or codes that you have

entered will be erased and will need to be re-

entered:

1. Press any of the Input Selector buttons e

and the ”O“ button rat the same time until

the Program Indicator cbegins to flash

amber.

2. Press the ”3“ button rthree times.

3.The red LED under the Input Selector ewill

go out and the Program Indicator cwill

stop flashing and turn green.

4.The Program Indicator cwill remain green

until the remote is reset. Note that this may

take a while,depending on how many com-

mands are in the memory and need to be

erased.

5.When the Program Indicator cgoes out,

the remote has been reset to the factory

settings.

43 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Troubleshooting Guide

SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION

Unit does not function when Main • No AC Power • Make certain AC power cord is plugged into

Power Switch is pushed a live outlet

• Check to see whether outlet is switch-controlled

Display lights, but no sound • Intermittent input connections • Make certain that all input and speaker connections

or picture • Mute is on are secure

• Volume control is down • Press Mute button

• Turn up volume control

Unit turns on, but front-panel • Display brightness is turned off • Follow the instructions in the Display Brightness section

display does not light up on page 31 so that the display is set to VFD FULL

No sound from any speaker; • Amplifier is in protection mode • Check speaker wire connections for shorts at receiver and

light around power switch is red due to possible short speaker ends

• Amplifier is in protection mode • Contact your local Harman Kardon service depot

due to internal problems

No sound from surround or • Incorrect surround mode • Select a mode other than stereo

center speakers • Input is monaural • There is no surround information from mono sources

• Incorrect configuration • Check speaker mode configuratioin

• Stereo or Mono program material • The surround decoder may not create center- or rear-channel

information from nonencoded programs

Unit does not respond to • Weak batteries in remote • Change remote batteries

remote commands • Wrong device selected • Press the AVR selector

• Remote sensor is obscured • Make certain front panel sensor is visible to remote

or connect remote sensor

Intermittent buzzing in tuner • Local interference • Move unit or antenna away from computers, fluorescent

lights, motors or other electrical appliances

Letters flash in the channel indicator • Digital audio feed paused • Resume play for DVD

display and digital audio stops • Check that Digital Input is selected

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s operation or

the displays seem abnormal, the cause may

involve the erratic operation of the system’s

memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the unit

from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three

minutes. After the pause,reconnect the AC

power cord and check the unit’s operation. If

the system still malfunctions, a system reset

may clear the problem.

To clear the AVR 110’s entire system memory

including tuner presets, output level settings,

delay times and speaker configuration data,

first put the unit in Standby by pressing the

System Power Control button 2. Next,

press and hold the Tone Mode 6and the

FM Mode Selector @buttons for three

seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and display

the RESET message in the Main

Information Display W. Note that once you

have cleared the memory in this manner, it is

necessary to reestablish all system configuration

settings and tuner presets.

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any

configuration settings you have made for

speakers, output levels, surround modes,digital

input assignments as well as the tuner presets.

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.
