INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon®!With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 335, you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 335 harnesses advanced technologies usually found only in higher-priced receivers. [. . . ] This line serves two functions in that it not only configures the setting for the surround back channels when they are present; it also tells the AVR 335's processing system to configure the unit for either 5. 1 or 6. 1/7. 1 operation. When MAIN appears on this line, the system is configured for 7. 1 operation with the surround back left/right Speaker Outputs 9 receiving the main channel feed. When MULTI appears, those outputs will receive the feed from the multiroom system and an optional power qualifier must be connected to the SBL/SBR Preamp Outputs 6 for 7. 1 operation. Press the </> Buttons o to select the option that best describes the speakers in use at the left and right back surround positions based on the definitions on this page: When NONE is selected, the system will adjust so that only 5. 1-channel surround processing/decoding modes are available and the surround back amplifier channels will not be used. When this is the case for your system you may wish to take advantage of the availability of this amplifier channel pair for use in powering a second set of speakers that have their source selected by the AVR 335's multiroom control system. When SMALL is selected, the system will adjust so that the full complement of 6. 1/7. 1 surround processing/ decoding modes are available, and low-frequency information below the crossover point will be sent to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround back channel. When LARGE is selected, the system will adjust so that all 6. 1/7. 1 surround processing/decoding modes are available, and a full-range signal will be sent to the surround back channels, with no low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer output. When you have completed your selection for the back surround channels, press the ¤ Button n to move the cursor to SUBWOOFER. Press the < / > Buttons o on the remote 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 335, press the < / > Buttons o so that NONE appears in the on-screen menu. 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 335, you have the option to have the front left/right "main" speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the AVR 335 is being used with a digital source that contains 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 the </ > Buttons o so that SUB (LFE) appears in the on-screen menu. · 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 o so that SUB LFE+L/R appears in the onscreen menu. When this option is selected, a fullrange signal will be sent to the front left/right "main" speakers, and the subwoofer will receive the bass frequencies under frequency selected, as described below. When all initial speaker "size" settings have been made, you now have the option to take advantage of the AVR 335's Quadruple Crossover system, which allows individual crossover settings to be made for each speaker grouping. The low-frequency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. Depending on the design and driver complement of your speakers, it is defined as the frequency below which the signal should be redirected to the subwoofer, and is therefore usually the lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of reproducing.
