Introduction, Speaker Placement and Connections
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Harman Kardon product!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your
new Harman Kardon audio/video receiver (AVR).
To conserve our natural resources, your AVR does not include a printed owner’s manual.
An owner’s manual containing complete information about operating all of your new
AVR’s features is available at our Web site. Go to www.harmankardon.com and download
the AVR 1710/AVR 171-230/AVR171-230C/AVR 1610/AVR 161-230/AVR 161-230C
Owner’s Manual or the AVR 1510/AVR 151-230/AVR 151-230C Owner’s Manual.
Place the AVR
• Place the AVR on a rm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any mounting
hardware can support the AVR’s weight.
• Provide proper space above, below, behind and to the sides of the AVR for ventilation. Maintain
a clearance of at least 12" (30cm) on each side of, above and behind the unit.
• If you install the AVR in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the AVR or place objects directly over them.
• Do not place the AVR directly on a carpeted surface.
• Do not place the AVR in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, in areas
near heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the AVR, ensure that the AVR’s AC cord is
unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet. Making connections with the AVR plugged
in and turned on could damage the speakers.
Place Your Speakers
Determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s
directions and the layout of your listening room. Use the illustrations below as a guide for
7.1-channel and 5.1-channel systems.

Note: The HDMI connection to your TV is preferred. If you use the composite video
connection to your TV, you will not be able to view the AVR’s on-screen menus and will
need to use the AVR’s front-panel display to set up the AVR.
Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray
Disc™ or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different
types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite
video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio. The connectors are
not labeled for specic types of source devices; they are labeled numerically, so you can
connect your devices according to your individual system’s make-up.
Your AVR’s various source buttons have default assignments to different input connectors
(listed in the “Default Connector(s)” column of the table below). For ease of setup, you
should connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding default
source button is assigned (e.g., connect your Blu-ray Disc player to HDMI 2).
However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the
input connections to any of the Source Buttons listed in the table according to where you
actually connect each of your source devices.
As you connect your various source devices, ll out the “Connected Device” column
in the table – it will make it easier for you to assign the various source buttons after
you have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the
source-button assignments and ll in the “Assigned Connector(s)” column later in the
setup process.)
Note: You cannot assign connectors to the Network, Radio , TV and USB source buttons.

Consult the technical specications for all of your speakers and locate their frequency
response, usually given as a range, e.g., 100Hz – 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest
frequency that each of your speakers is capable of playing (100Hz in the above example).
7. Use the Left/Right buttons to set each speaker group’s Crossover Frequency to the
frequency that most closely matches the frequency you noted above in the speaker’s
specications. If the speaker’s crossover frequency is lower than 40Hz, select the rst
option, “Large.” (This setting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s physical size but to its
frequency response, which is also called “full range.”)
• We recommend that you set the Subwoofer Crossover to the same frequency you use
for the Front Left/Right speaker setting.
Your AVR will divide the source signal at the crossover frequency; all information above
that crossover point will be played through your system’s speakers, and all information
below the crossover point will be played through the subwoofer. This way, each
loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and
enjoyable sound experience.
• If you set the Front Left/Right speakers to “Large”, select one of the three following
settings for the subwoofer:
L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer, including
a) low-frequency information that is also played through the front left and right
speakers and b) the special LFE (low-frequency effects) channel information that is
present on some DVDs, Blu-ray discs and other digital programming.
LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the full-range program
channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the LFE-channel
information to the subwoofer.
OFF: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information will
be sent to the front left and right speakers.

Instructions for Users on Re-
moval, Recycling and Disposal
of Used Batteries
To remove the batteries from your equipment or remote
control, reverse the procedure described in the owner’s
manual for inserting batteries.
For products with a built-in battery that lasts for the
lifetime of the product, removal may not be possible
for the user. In this case, recycling or recovery centers
handle the dismantling of the product and the removal
of the battery. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to
replace such a battery, this procedure must be performed
by authorized service centers.
In the European Union and other locations, it is illegal to
dispose of any battery with household trash. All batteries
must be disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner. Contact your local waste-management officials
for information regarding the environmentally sound
collection, recycling and disposal of used batteries.
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, don’t
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts,
expose to temperature above 60°C (140°F), or dispose
of in fire or water. Replace only with specified batteries.
