AVR 240 QUICK-START GUIDE
Thank you for purchasing a Harman Kardon® AVR 240. This Quick-Start
Guide will help you with a basic system installation. For detailed information
on any step in this Guide, please refer to the pages referenced in the
Owner’s Manual. We strongly recommend that you read the Owner’s
Manual for complete details on how to install, configure and operate the
AVR 240, as well as for the important safety information it contains.

Match the colored jacks on the AVR 240 to the appropriate
jacks on your source equipment or speakers. The colors are
standardized, but not all equipment or connectors use them.

Step 1. Place your speakers in the listening room
(see pages 17–18).

Step 2. Connect the speakers to the receiver: red (+)
on speaker to colored (+) on receiver, and
black (–) to black (–) (see page 15).
Step 3. Connect the Subwoofer Pre-Out jack to
the Line-In jack on your subwoofer (see
page 15). You may adjust the settings on
the subwoofer later as needed.

Step 4. Connect AM and FM antennas as shown above (see page 15).
Step 5. Connect source components, as shown in Figures 4 and 6 and the
Device Connection Options chart on the back of this Guide (see
pages 15–16).
AUDIO connections: Right channel (red) on source to right (red)
on AVR, and left channel (white) on source to left (white) on AVR.
DIGITAL AUDIO connections, if available: Choose either coax
(orange) to coax (orange) OR optical to optical for each device.
The Coax 1 input defaults to the DVD player, and the Optical 1 input
defaults to Video 2 (Cable/Sat), but either may be reassigned. Assign
the other digital inputs and outputs as appropriate for your equipment
(see Step 7).
VIDEO connections: Choose either composite (yellow) or S-video
(4-pin) for each video source. Connect the Composite and S-video
Monitor outputs to your video monitor (TV). Switch your TV set’s input
to match the type of video used for the currently selected source.

Bridge : Make sure the AVR 240 is turned off, then connect the
optional TheBridge to the DMP connector. Dock your compatible

Step 6. Plug all components into AC power outlets. The outlets on the back
of the AVR 240 should be used only for low-current products, such
as CD or DVD players, and the total should not exceed 100 watts.
Basic Receiver Configuration
Step 7. Select digital inputs: If your DVD is connected to Coax 1, and your
cable or satellite TV box (Video 2 source) is connected to Optical 1,
no adjustment is needed. For any other digital-device connections,
use the On-Screen Input Setup menu, or the front-panel Digital
Select and arrow buttons to select digital input (see pages 21, 35).
Step 8. Select a surround mode: Press the Surround Mode button on the
front panel to select Dolby ® Pro Logic ® II – Movie. (You may select
other modes later as you become familiar with the AVR 240; see
pages 21–23 and 32–37.)

+ to configure and optimize your system:
Step 9. Use
Plug the EzSet+ microphone into the front-panel Headphones
Jack (Figure 5). Place the microphone at the center of the room,
or at your normal listening position. If desired, the microphone
may be attached to a standard camera tripod using the threads
on the bottom of the microphone. Activate EzSet+ using the
on-screen menu system (see pages 23–25). As EzSet+ senses
the output of each speaker, you will hear loud test signals. When
the on-screen menu indicates that setup is complete, your system
is adjusted for output levels, delay times and speaker settings.
Unplug the microphone and store it for future use.
Step 10. Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy!

Dashed lines (– – – –) indicate coaxial and optical digital audio connections. Choose either type
(but not both) for each digital audio source.
Dotted lines (••••) indicate component, composite or S-video connections. Component video is
the preferred connection when available, but you may use any of the three types (but not more
than one). When component, composite and S-video sources are connected to the AVR, you must
also connect all outputs from the AVR to your TV.

Device Connection Options: Recommended connections are shown in red, but connections may be made to best fit your system requirements. The Video 3 inputs are on the front panel of the receiver.
