Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon

AVR 320 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 320

is truly a multichannel receiver for the new mil-

lenium.

The AVR 320 has been engineered so that it is

easy to take advantage of all the power of its

digital technology. On-screen menus, fully color

coded connection jacks and terminals and our

exclusive EzSet

™

remote make installation fast

and simple. However, to obtain the maximum

enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you

to read this manual. A few minutes spent

learning the functions of the various controls

will enable you to take advantage of all the

power the AVR 320 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 320 is among the most versatile and

multifeatured 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 Matrix sur-

round-encoded or Stereo surround modes are

available for use with sources such as CD, VCR,

TV broadcasts and the AVR 320’s own FM/AM

tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6,

Dolby 3 Stereo, and Hall and Theater modes,

the AVR 320 offers Harman International’s

exclusive Logic 7 process in both 5.1 and 7.1

versions to create a wider, more enveloping

field environment and more defined fly-overs

and pans. Another Harman Kardon exclusive is

VMAx, which uses proprietary processing to

create an open, spacious sound field even

when only two front speakers are available.

Finally, the AVR 320 is among the very few A/V

receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so

that you may listen to the latest music selec-

tions 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 listen-

ing options, the AVR 320 is easy to configure so

that it provides the best results with your

speakers and specific listening-room environ-

ment. On-screen menus make it simple to enter

settings for speaker configurations and bass

management, and the EzSet remote measures

a system’s sound levels and automatically cali-

brates them for perfectly balanced sound field

presentation.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR 320 fea-

tures connections for six video devices, all with

both composite and S-Video inputs. Two addi-

tional audio inputs are available, and a total of

six digital inputs make the AVR 320 capable of

handling all the latest digital audio sources.

For compatibility with the latest HDTV video

sources and progressive scan DVD players, the

AVR 320 also features wide-bandwidth, low-

crosstalk component video switching.

Coax and optical digital outputs are available

for direct connection to digital recorders, and

the front panel coaxial digital jacks may be

switched to outputs for use with portable

recorders – a Harman Kardon exclusive. Two

video recording outputs, preamp-out jacks, and

a color-coded eight-channel input make the

AVR 320 virtually future-proof, with everything

needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new

formats right on board.

The AVR 320’s flexibility and power extend

beyond your main home theater or listening

room. The AVR 320 includes a sophisticated

multizone control system that allows you to

select one source for use in the main room and

a different one in a second room. Complete

control over volume is possible with a separate

infrared control link. To make it easy to operate

the AVR 320 from a remote room, a separate

“Zone II” remote is included.

The AVR 320’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 circuit

designs, the AVR 320 is the perfect combina

tion

of the latest in digital audio technology, a

quiet

yet powerful analog amplifier in an

elegant,

easy-to-use package.

4 SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Information

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your AVR 320 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

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to pro-

tect your new receiver during shipment were

specially designed to cushion it from shock and

vibration. We suggest that you save the carton

and packing materials for use in shipping if you

move, or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,

you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care-

fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and

collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts

may be stored in the same manner. Packing

materials that cannot be collapsed should be

saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging mate-

rials, please note that the carton and other sec-

tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.

Please respect the environment and discard

those materials at a local recycling center.

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 320.

3. Connect the output of any digital sources

such as such as a CD or DVD changer or play-

er, advanced video game, a digital satellite

receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top

box or the output of a compatible computer

sound card to the

Optical and Coaxial

Digital Inputs

*Ó.

4. Connect the coaxial or optical

Digital Audio

Outputs

⁄ on the rear panel of the AVR 320 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

(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 anten-

na or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead

cable, you must use the 300-ohm-to-75-ohm

adapter supplied with the unit to make the con-

nection.

7. Connect the front, center and surround

speaker outputs

›ﬁﬂ 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

multistrand copper with a gauge of 14 or smaller.

Remember that in specifying cable, the lower

the 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 electrician who is familiar with the NEC

and/or the applicable local building codes in

your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be cer-

tain to observe proper polarity. Note that the

positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection

now carries a specific color code as noted on

page 11. However, most speakers will still use a

red terminal for the postive (+) connection.

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

same terminal on both the receiver and the

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 ensure 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 320.

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.

9. If an external multi-channel audio source

with 5.1 outputs such as an external digital

processor/decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player

is used, connect the outputs of that device to

the

6-Channel Direct Inputs ª.

10. If an external multi-channel audio source

with 7.1 outputs such as an external digital

processor/decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player

is used, first connect the outputs of that device

to both the 6 Channel Direct Inputs as noted

above, and then connect the Surround Back Left

and Surround Back Right output channels of

the source device to the

8-Channel Direct

Inputs

‚.

11. If a 7.1 channel source device is connected

as noted in the item above, you must use an

optional audio power amplifier for those chan-

nels. Connect the

SBL and SBR Preamp

Outputs

to the inputs of the amplifier

feeding those channels' speakers.

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 hk 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 gi on the

AVR 320.

2. Connect the analog audio and video outputs

of a satellite receiver, cable TV converter or

6. If your DVD player and monitor both have

component video connections, connect the

component outputs of the DVD player to the

DVD Component Video Inputs c. Note

that even when component video connections

are used, the audio connections should still be

made to either the analog

8. If the component video inputs are used, con-

nect the

Component Video Output b to

the component video inputs of your TV, projec-

tor or display device.

9. If you have a camcorder, video game or other

audio/video device that is connected to the AVR

on a temporary, rather than permanent basis,

connect the audio, video and digital audio out-

puts of that device the

Front Panel Inputs

as the Video 4 input, and the digital inputs

must be assigned to the Video 4 input. (See

page 20 for more information on input configu-

ration.)

Video Connection Notes:

• When the component video jacks are used,

the on-screen menus are not visible and you

must switch to the standard composite or S-

Video input on your TV to view them.

•The AVR 320 will accept either standard

composite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component

video signals. However, it will not convert

composite or S signals to component video.

• Component or composite video signals may

only be viewed in their native formats.

System and Power Connections

The AVR 320 is designed for flexible use with

multiroom systems.

Main Room 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 e.

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 d to the Remote IR

Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compati-

ble equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected

to the AVR 320 via standard coaxial cable. Plug

the IR connection cable into the

Multiroom IR

Input Jack

f on the AVR 320’s rear panel.

If other Harman Kardon compatible source

equipment is part of the main room installation,

the

Remote IR Output Jack d on the rear

panel should be connected to the IR IN jack on

source equipment. This will enable the remote

room location to control source equipment func-

tions.

NOTE: All remotely controlled components

must be linked together in a “daisy chain”.

Connect the

IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR

of the next to establish this chain.

Multiroom Audio Connections

Depending on the distance from the AVR 320

to the remote room, two options are available

for audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio

interconnect cable from the AVR 320’s location

to the remote room. In the remote room, con-

nect the interconnect cable to a stereo power

amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the

room’s speakers. At the AVR 320, plug the

audio interconnect cables into the

Multiroom

Output Jacks

• on the AVR 320’s rear panel.

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Output

Jacks

• on the AVR 320 to the inputs of an

optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quali-

ty speaker wire from the amplifier to the speak-

ers in the remote room.

NOTE: In both options, you may connect an

optional IR sensor in the remote room to the

AVR 320 via an appropriate cable. Connect the

sensor’s cable to the

Multiroom IR Input f

on the AVR 320 and use the Zone II remote to

control the room volume. Alternatively, you may

install an optional volume control between the

output of the amplifiers and the speakers.

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 ‡ will

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 320!

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 perforated front pro-

jection screen.

Once the center channel speaker is installed,

position the front left and front right 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).

A) Front Channel Speaker Installation

With Direct-View TV Sets or Rear-Screen

Projectors

B) Rear speaker mounting is an alternate

location for 5.1 systems. It is required

for 7.1 operation.

When the AVR 320 is used in 5.1-channel oper-

ation, the preferred location for surround

speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or

slightly behind the listening position. In a 7.1-

channel system, both side surround and back

surround speakers are required. 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.

Rear surround speakers are required when a

full 7.1-channel system is installed, and they

may also be used in 5.1 channel as an alterna-

tive mounting position when it is not practical

to place the main surround speakers on the

sides of the room. Speakers may be placed on a

rear wall, behind the listening position. As with

the side speakers, rear surrounds 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.

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 320’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.

You are now ready to power up the AVR 320

to begin these final adjustments.

1. Plug the

AC Power Cord · into an

unswitched AC outlet.

2. Press the

Main Power Switch 1 in

until it latches and the word “OFF” on the

top of the switch disappears inside the

front panel. Note that the

Power

Indicator

3 will turn amber, indicating

that the unit is in the Standby mode.

3. Remove the protective plastic film from the

front-panel lens. If left in place, the film

may affect the performance of your remote

control.

4. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in

the remote as shown. Be certain to follow

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

on the top of the battery compartment.

5. Turn the AVR 320 on either by pressing the

System Power Control 2 on the front

panel, or via the remote by pressing the

Power On Button d, the AVR

Selector

f or any of the Input

Selectors

eg on the remote. The

Power Indicator 3 will turn green to

confirm that the unit is on, and the

Main

Information Display

˜ will also light.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you

may find it easier to use the AVR 320’s on-

screen display system. These easy-to-read dis-

plays give you a clear picture of the current

status of the unit and make it easy to see

which speaker, delay, input or digital selection

you are making.

To view the on-screen menus, make certain you

have made a connection from the

Video

Monitor Out Jack

¤ on the rear panel to

the composite or S-Video input of your TV or

projector. In order to view the AVR 320’s dis-

plays, the correct video source must be selected

on the video display. Note that the on-screen

menus are not available when a component

video display is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-

screen menus using a CRT-based projector,

plasma display or any direct-view CRT monitor or

television, it is important that they not be left on

the screen for an extended period of time. The

constant display of a static image such as these

menus or video game images may cause the

image to be permanently “burned into” the pro-

jection tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of

damage is not covered by the AVR 320 warranty

and may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s

warranty.

The AVR 320 has two on-screen display modes,

“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making

configuration adjustments, it is recommended

that the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place

an option listing on the screen, making it easier

to view the available options.

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the

OSD Button v. When this button is

pressed, the

MASTER menu (Figure 1) will

appear, and adjustments are made from the

individual menus.

Figure 1

The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing

you to make adjustments directly, by pressing

the appropriate buttons on the front panel or

remote control for the specific parameter to be

adjusted. For example, to change the digital

input for any of the sources, press the

Digital

Select Button

Ûq on the front panel or

remote.

To use the full OSD menu system, press the

OSD Button v. When the menu is on the

screen, press the

⁄

Buttons n until the

on-screen

›

cursor is next to the item you wish

to adjust, and then press the

Set Button p

to adjust that item. Note that the menus will

remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then

they will “time-out” and disappear from the

screen. The time-out may be increased to as

much as 50 seconds by going to the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, and

changing the item titled

FULL OSD

TIME OUT

Note that when the full OSD system is in use,

the menu selections are not shown in the

Main Information Display ˜Y. When the

full OSD menu system is used, OSD ON will

appear in the

Main Information Display Y

and the OSD Indicator P will light to remind

you that a video display must be used. When

the semi-OSD system is used in conjunction

with the discrete configuration buttons, the on-

screen display will show a single line of text

with the current menu selection. That selection

will also be shown in the

Main Information

Display

Setting the System Configuration

Memory

The AVR 320 features an advanced memory

system that enables you to establish different

configurations for the speaker configuration,

digital input, surround mode, delay times,

crossover frequency and output levels for each

input source. This flexibility enables you to

custom-tailor the way in which you listen to

each source and have the AVR 320 memorize

those settings. This means, for example, that

you may use different output levels or trims for

different sources, or set different speaker con-

figurations 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 320

have all inputs except for DVD configured for

an analog audio input except for the DVD

input, where the

Digital Coaxial 1 Input

is the default. The default speaker settings

are for “Large” speakers at the front left/right,

“Small” at all other positions, and for the

Subwoofer set as being on. However, once the

DSP processing system is used for the first time

for any input, the speaker settings will auto-

matically default to “Small” at all positions

with the subwoofer set to “LFE.” The default

setting for the surround modes is “Surround

Off,” or two-channel stereo, although Dolby

Digital or DTS will automatically be selected as

appropriate when a source with digital encod-

ing is in use.

Before using the unit, you will probably 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 of

your home theater system. Remember that

EXIT

20 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

since the AVR 320 memorizes the settings for

each input individually, you will need to make

these adjustments for each input used.

However, once they are made, further adjust-

ment is only required when system components

are changed.

To make this process as quick and as easy as

possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD

system with the on-screen menus, and step

through each input. Once you have completed

the settings for the first input, many settings

may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. It is

also a good idea to set the configuration data

in the order these items are listed in the

MASTER menu, as some settings require a

specific entry in a prior menu item. Remember

that once the settings are made for one input,

they must be made for all other input sources

in your system.

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the AVR 320 is to

configure each input. When using the full-OSD

system to make the setup adjustments, press

the

OSD Button v once so that the MAS-

TER

menu (Figure 1) appears. Note that the

›

cursor will be next to the IN/OUT

SETUP

line. Press the Set Button p to

enter the menu and the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons o until the

desired input name appears in the highlighted

video, as well as being indicated in the front

panel

Input Indicators ˆ by the green LED

next to the desired input name. If the input will

use the standard left/right analog inputs, no

further adjustment is needed.

Figure 2

If you wish to associate one of the digital

inputs with the selected input source, press the

Button n on the remote while the

IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on

the screen, and note that the on-screen cursor

will drop down to the

DIGITAL IN line.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons o until the

name of the desired digital input appears. To

return to the analog input, press the buttons

until the word

ANALOG appears. When the

correct input source appears, press the

but-

ton

n once so that the

›

cursor appears next

BACK TO MASTER MENU, and press

the

Set Button p.

To change the digital input at any time using

the discrete function buttons and the semi-OSD

system, press the

Digital Input Select

Button

Ûq on the front panel or the

remote. Within five seconds, make your input

selection using the

Selector buttons on the

front panel

7$ or the

⁄

n Buttons

on the remote until the desired digital or ana-

log input is shown in the

Main Information

Display

Y and in the lower third of the video

display connected to the AVR 320. Press the

Set Button p to enter the new digital input

assignment.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the

ability to switch the front panel coaxial digital

audio jack from its normal use as an input

to an output connection so that portable

recording devices may easily be connected.

On the AVR 320, the

Digital Coax 3 Jack Ó

is normally an input, but this may also be

switched to a digital output for use with

CD-R/RW decks, MD recorders or other A/V

recorders. To change the jack to an output,

press the

⁄

Buttons n while the

IN/OUT SETUP menu is on the screen

until the

›

cursor is next to COAXIAL 3.

Then press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that

the word

OUT is highlighted. Note that the

Input/Output Status Indicator ( will turn

red, indicating that the jack is now a record

output.

NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only

when the input selected for use by the AVR 320

is digital. Digital signals will be passed through

regardless of their format, and which digital

input (optical or coax) they are fed from.

However, analog signals are not converted to

digital, and the format of the signal (e.g., PCM,

Dolby Digital or DTS) may not be changed.

Selection of the front panel jack as an output

will remain effective as long as the AVR 320 is

on. Once the unit is turned off, the jack will

revert to its normal use as an input when the

unit is turned on again.

Surround Setup

Once the basic input setup has been completed,

the next step is to set the surround mode you

wish to use with an input. Since surround

modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free

to select any mode you wish – you may change

it later. However, to make it easier to establish

the initial parameters for the AVR 320, it is best

to select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most

analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs con-

nected to digital sources. In the case of inputs

such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you

may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround

off”) as they are not typically used with multi-

channel program material, where it is unlikely

that sur

round-encoded material will be used.

Alternatively, the

Logic 7 Music mode is a good

choice for stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup

using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the

MASTER menu (Figure 1), press the

⁄

Buttons n until the

›

cursor is next to the

SURROUND SELECT menu. Press the

Set Button p so that the SURROUND

SELECT

menu (Figure 3) is on the screen.

Figure 3

The first line on the SURROUND

SELECT

menu allows you to configure the

AVR for either standard 5.1 or advanced

6.1/7.1 operation. With the on-screen

›

cursor

at the

SURR MODE line, press the Set

Button

p and then press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that 5.1 is highlighted

if you have five surround speakers installed, or

6.1/7.1 if you have one or two speakers

connected to the

Surround Back Preamp

Outputs

through optional, external power

amplifiers.

Making this selection will set the surround

mode options for the AVR so that only the cor-

rect modes for the number of speakers in your

specific system will be available. Should you

change your system and add additional speak-

ers at a later date, it is important to change this

setting so that advanced surround modes such

as Logic 7/7.1 and DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete and

Matrix will be available.

When the desired selection is made, press the

input should be set. Each of the remaining five

lines on the menu (Figure 3) contains the vari-

ous surround mode categories, and within

those menus you may choose one of the sub-

modes. Note that the list of specific sub-modes

in some categories will vary according to

whether 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation is chosen. In

addition, some of the modes available in the

AVR 320 will not appear unless a digital source

is selected and playing the correct bitstream.

To select the mode that will be used as the ini-

tial default for an input, first press the

On the

Dolby menu (Figure 4), the selection

choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II

Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro

Logic II Emulation and Dolby 3 Stereo. A com-

plete explanation of these modes is found on

Page 26. Note that when the Dolby Digital

mode is selected there are additional settings

available for the Night mode.

Figure 4

The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital

that uses special processing to preserve the

dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie

sound track while reducing the peak level. This

prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturb-

ing others, without reducing the sonic impact of

a digital source. Note that the Night mode is

only available when specially encoded Dolby

Digital signals are played.

To adjust the Night mode setting for an input

from the menu, make certain that the

›

cursor

is on the

NIGHT line of the DOLBY menu.

Next, press

‹

›

Buttons o to choose

between the following settings, as they appear

in the on-screen display:

OFF:When OFF is highlighted, the Night

mode will not function.

MID:When MID is highlighted, a mild com-

pression will be applied.

MAX:When MAX is highlighted, a more

severe compression algorithm will be applied.

We recommend that you select the

MID set-

ting as a starting point and change to the

MAX setting later, if desired.

Note that the Night mode may be adjusted

directly any time that a Dolby Digital source is

playing by pressing the

Night Mode Button

are determined by a combination of the type of

DTS program material in use and whether the

5.1 or 6.1/7.1 speaker output configuration is

in use. When either of the speaker configura-

tions is in use, you may select either the Neo:6

Music or Neo:6 Cinema mode when an analog

source is playing to deliver an enhanced 5.1-

channel sound field.

When the 5.1 configuration is in use the AVR

will automatically select the 5.1 version of DTS

processing when a DTS data stream is selected.

When the 6.1/7.1 mode is selected, the DTS-ES

Discrete mode will automatically be activated

when a DTS source with the ES Discrete “flag”

is in use. In these cases the

DTS-ES Mode

Indicator

D will light. When a non-ES DTS

disc is in use, you may select the DTS-ES Matrix

mode through this menu to create a full eight-

speaker surround mode. See page 26 for a

complete explanation of the DTS modes.

On the

Logic 7

menu, the selection choices

made with the

Buttons o on the

remote are determined by whether the 5.1 or

6.1/7.1 speaker output configuration is in use.

In either case, the selection of a Logic 7 mode

enables Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 pro-

cessing to create fully enveloping, multichannel

surround from either two-channel Stereo or

Matrix-encoded programming such as VHS cas-

settes, laser discs or television broadcasts pro-

duced with Dolby surround.

In the 5.1 configuration you may select the

Logic 7/5.1 Music, Cinema or Enhanced modes.

They work best with two-channel music, sur-

round-encoded programs or standard two-

channel programming of any type, respectively.

When the 6.1/7.1 mode is selected, only the

Music and Cinema modes are available, and the

output will be in a full eight-channel sound

field. Note that the Logic 7 modes are not

available when either Dolby Digital or DTS

Digital soundtracks are in use. See pages 26

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR 320 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

to their ability to reproduce low-frequency

sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category

describes your speakers, consult the specifica-

tions in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask

your dealer.

After the selections are made on the Dolby

DTS, Logic 7 DSP (Surr) or stereo menus, press

⁄

Buttons n, so that the cursor moves

to the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line

and press ther

Set Button p.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the

speaker setup through the

SPEAKER

menu (Figure 5). If that menu is not

already on your screen from the prior adjust-

ments, press the

OSD Button v to bring up

the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then

press the

¤ Button n twice so that the cur-

sor is on the

SPEAKER SETUP line. At

this point, press the

Set Button p to bring

up the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5).

Figure 5

When the SPEAKER SETUP menu first

appears, the on-screen cursor

› will be at the

top of the list of speaker positions, pointing

toward the

LEFT/RIGHT line, which sets

the configuration for the front left and right

speakers. If you wish to make a change to the

front speakers’ configuration, press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that either LARGE or

SMALL appears, matching the appropriate

description from the definitions shown above.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency

sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer out-

put. 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 output

will be sent to the front left and front right

outputs. Depending on the choice made in

the

SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass

information may also be directed to the front

left/right speakers, a subwoofer or both.

When you have completed your selection for the

front channel, press the

Button n on the

remote to move the cursor to

CENTER.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote

to select the option that best describes your system,

based on the speaker definitions shown below.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency

center channel sounds will be sent only to the

subwoofer output. If you choose this option and

there is no subwoofer connected, you will not

hear low-frequency sounds from the center

channel speaker.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output

will be sent to the center speaker output, and

NO center channel signal will be sent to the

subwoofer output.

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround

mode for the particular input source for which

you are configuring your speakers, the AVR 320

will not make the LARGE option available for

the center speaker. This is due to the require-

ments of Logic 7 processing, and does not indi-

cate a problem with your receiver.

When

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. When only front left and right speak-

ers are used, with no center or surround speak-

ers, VMAx is a good alternative mode.

When you have completed your selection for

the center channel, press the

Button n

on the remote to move the cursor to

SURROUND.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote

to select the option that best describes the sur-

round speakers in your system based on the

speaker definitions shown on this page.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency

surround channel sounds will be sent to the

subwoofer output only. If you choose this

option and there is no subwoofer connected,

you will not hear any low frequency sounds

from the surround speakers.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output

will be sent to the surround channel outputs,

and NO surround channel signals will be sent

to the subwoofer output.

When

NONE is selected, surround-sound

information will be split between the front left

and front right outputs. For optimal perform-

ance when no surround speakers are in use, the

Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used.

If the 6.1/7.1 configuration has been selected

in the

SURROUND SELECT menu, an

additional configuration line is available on the

menu screen to set the speaker type for the

speakers connected to the

Surround Back

Preamp Outputs

through an optional,

external power amplifier. The choices and pro-

cedure for configuring these speakers are iden-

tical to those shown above for the main sur-

Delay Settings

If Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic is selected as

the surround mode for an input, you may need

to adjust the delay time setting. Note that the

delay time is not adjustable for any other modes.

Due to the different distances between the

listening position for the front-channel speakers

and the surround speakers, the amount of time

it takes for sound to reach your ears from the

front versus surround speakers differs. You may

compensate for this difference through the use

of the delay settings to adjust the timing for

the speaker placement and acoustic conditions

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

position to the front speakers.

2. Measure the distance from the listening

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 sub-

traction and add 15 to obtain the opti-

mal delay time. For example, if the front

speakers are ten feet away and the sur-

round 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 DTS, Logic 7 and DSP modes use a

fixed, nonadjustable delay time.

The Dolby Digital mode also includes a separate

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 milli-

second 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.

To set the delay time for a specific input,

the

DELAY ADJUST menu (Figure 6)

should be visible on your on-screen display. If

the system is not already at that point, press

the

OSD Button v to bring up the MAS-

TER MENU

,press the

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the

configuration of any surround-sound product. It

is particularly important for a digital receiver

such as the AVR 320, as correct outputs ensure

that you hear sound tracks with the proper

directionality 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 ambience, 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 output level adjustment

process, make certain that all speaker connec-

tions have been properly made. The system

volume should be set to the level that you will

use during a typical listening session. Finally,

make certain that the

Balance Control Ò is

set to the center “12 o’clock” position.

Using EzSet

Harman Kardon’s exclusive EzSet remote makes

it possible to quickly and accurately set the

AVR 320’s output levels without the use of a

sound pressure meter, although manual adjust-

ment is also available. However, for the easiest

set-up, follow these steps while seated in the

listening position that will be used most often:

1. Make certain that all speaker positions

have been properly configured for their

“large” or “small” settings (as outlined

above) and turn off the OSD system if it is

in use.

2. Adjust the volume so that it is at

-15,as

shown in the on-screen display or

Main

Information Display

3. Hold the remote in front of you at arm’s

length, being sure not to cover the

EzSet

Sensor Microphone

at the top of

the remote.

4. Press and hold the

SPL Indicator Select

Button

for three seconds. Release it

when the

Program/SPL Indicator c

stops flashing and and remains lit. Within

five seconds, press the “

5” Numeric Key

r on the remote if your system is config-

ured for 5.1 operation with standard

speakers or the “

7” Numeric Key r on

the remote if your system is configured for

6.1/7.1 operation with a full speaker com-

plement including rear surround speakers.

Once the correct channel configuration

button has been pressed the test noise will

be heard from the front left speaker.

5. At this point, EzSet will take over, adjusting

the output level of each channel so that

when the process is complete all levels will

be equal and at the set reference point.

This process may take a few minutes,

depending on the extent of adjustment

required.

6. During the adjustment, you will see the

location of the channel position being

adjusted appear in the on-screen

display (if connected) in the

Main

Information Display

Y, alternating

with a readout of the output setting, rela-

tive to the reference volume level, and in

the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators

Q where the letters for the channel being

adjusted will flash to indicate from which

channel the test tone should be heard. As

the adjustment proceeds, a few things will

happen simultaneously:

• The channel position being adjusted will

flash in the

Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

Q. If the test noise is heard

from a channel other than the one shown

in the Indicator, there is an error in the

speaker connections. If this is the case,

press the

Test Button i TWICE to

stop the adjustment. Then, turn the unit

off and verify that all speakers are con-

nected to the proper

Outputs

nop and that any connections

made to rear surround speakers powered

by optional amplifiers through the

Preamp Outputs are correct.

• As the individual channels are set, the

channel name and the adjustment offset

will appear in the on-screen display (if

connected) and the

Main Information

Display

Y. While the level is changing,

the

Program/SPL Indicator c will

change colors to reflect the output level

in relation to the reference. A red indica-

tion shows that the level is too high,

while an amber indication shows that the

level is too low. When the indicator is

green, the level is correct, and the test

noise will move to the next channel.

• While adjustments are being made, the

red LED under the

AVR Selector f

will flash. This is normal, and indicates

that EzSet is operating.

7. After the test noise has circulated once

through each channel, it will send the tone

to each channel once again, to verify the

settings.

8. After two complete circulations of the

tone, the levels are set. The

Program/SPL

Indicator

c will remain green at each

channel. Upon completion of the second

circulation, the

Program/SPL Indicator

c will flash green twice and then go

out. The tone will stop and the AVR 320

will return to normal operation.

If you find that the output levels chosen by

EzSet are either uncomfortably low or high, you

may repeat the procedure. Return to Step 2 and

adjust the master volume either slightly higher

or lower to accommodate your particular room

layout and your tastes. You may repeat this pro-

Manual Output Level Adjustment

Output levels may also be adjusted manually,

either to set them to a specific level with an

SPL meter, or to make fine tuning adjustments

to the levels obtained using the EzSet remote.

Figure 7

Manual output level adjustment is most easily

done through the

room. The test noise will play for two seconds

in each speaker before circulating, and a blink-

ing on-screen cursor will appear next to the

name of each speaker location when the sound

is at that speaker.

NOTE: Remember 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 Y. If the sound

from a speaker location does NOT match the

position indicated in the display, turn the

AVR 320 off using the

Main Power Switch

1 and check the speaker wiring or connec-

tions to external power amplifiers to make cer-

tain that each speaker is connected to the cor-

rect output terminal.

After checking for speaker placement, let the

test noise circulate again, and listen to see

which channels sound louder than the others.

Using the front left speaker as a reference,

press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the

remote to bring all speakers to the same vol-

ume level. 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 five

seconds.

Continue to adjust the individual channels until

the volume level sounds the same from each

speaker. Note that adjustments should be made

with the

only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are

using a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter for

precise level adjustment, set the volume so that

the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.

You may also adjust the output levels manually

while using the level indication feature of the

EzSet remote. To activate the sensor and

indicator, simply press and release the

again to complete the process.

NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available

for the VMAx or Surround Off mode.

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround

mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and

output levels, go back to the

IN/OUT

SETUP

line on the MASTER MENU and

enter the settings for each input that you will

use. In most cases, only the digital input and

surround mode will be different from one input

to the next, while the speaker type, crossover

frequency, Night mode and output level set-

tings will usually be the same and may be

quickly entered by entering the same data used

for the original input.

Once the settings outlined on the previous

pages have been made, the AVR 320 is ready

for operation. While there are some additional

settings to be made, these are best done after

you have had an opportunity to listen to a vari-

ety of sources and different kinds of program

material. These advanced settings are described

on pages 34 to 35 of this manual. In addition,

any of the settings made in the initial configu-

ration of the unit may be changed at any time.

As you add new or different sources or speak-

ers, or if you wish to change a setting to better

reflect your listening taste, simply follow the

instructions for changing the settings for that

parameter as shown in this section.

Having completed the setup and configuration

process for your AVR 320, you are about

to experience the finest in music and home-

theater listening. Enjoy!

MUSIC from either matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources when

EMULATION an analog input is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks,

while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic II

Emulation mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for those who prefer that presentation.

Logic 7 Cinema Exclusive to Harman Kardon for AV receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the Delay time not adjustable

Logic 7 Music maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo

Logic 7 Enhance material. Depending on the number of speakers in use and the selection made in the

SURROUND

SELECT

menu, the “5.1” versions of Logic 7 modes are available when the 5.1 option is chosen,

while the “7.1” versions of Logic 7 produce a full sound field presentation, including back surround

speakers when the “6.1/7.1” option is chosen. 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. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen,

is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 adds

additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front

and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader and wider than

when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.

DTS Neo:6 Cinema These two modes are available when any analog source is playing to create a six-channel Delay time not adjustable

DTS Neo:6 Music surround presentation from conventional Matrix-encoded and traditional Stereo sources. Select

the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with any type of analog Matrix surround encoding

is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6 for optimal processing when a nonencoded,

two-channel stereo program is being played.

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 The THEATER mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a Delay time not adjustable

standard live performance theater.

MODE FEATURES DELAY TIME RANGE

HALL 1 The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small (HALL1) or Delay time not adjustable

HALL 2 medium sized (HALL 2) concert hall.

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.

The VMAx modes are also available using the

Headphones Output 4.When headphones

are being used, the Far Field mode will appear to push the sound field away from your ears,

reducing the “inside the head” sensation often experienced when using headphones.

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

7-Channel Stereo back of a room. Depending on whether the AVR has been configured for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 these modes

operation, one of these modes, but not both, is available at any time. 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.

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the initial setup and

configuration of the AVR 320, it is simple to

operate and enjoy. The following instructions will

help you maximize the enjoyment of your new

receiver:

Turning the AVR 320 On or Off

• When using the AVR 320 for the first time, you

must press the

Main Power Switch

on the

front panel to turn the unit on. This places the

unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the

amber color of the

Power Indicator

.Once

the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening

session by pressing the

¤ and will be viewable

on a TV monitor connected to the AVR 320.

Volume Control

• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level

using the front panel

Volume Control ı or

remote

Volume Up/Down buttons.

• When listening in the Stereo mode, with the

surround circuits off, the

Balance Control Ò

may be used to adjust the relative sound output

between the left front and right front speakers.

• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs,

press the

Mute Button K .This will

interrupt the output to all speakers and the

momentarily appear in the Main

Information Display

• For private listening, plug the 1/4" stereo

phone plug from a pair of stereo headphones

into the front panel

Headphone Jack

Note that when the headphone’s plug is con-

nected, the word

HEADPHONE will scroll

once across the

Main Information Display

Y and all speakers will be silenced. When the

headphone plug is removed, the audio feed to

the speakers will be restored. Note that you

may enjoy the VMAx modes through the head-

phones for a wider sound field image.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR

320 is its ability to reproduce a full multichan-

nel surround-sound field from digital sources,

analog matrix surround-encoded programs and

standard stereo programs.

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

min

Operation

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 II Cinema, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, 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 II Cinema,

Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when

they are broadcast via conventional TV stations,

cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. In addi-

tion, a growing number of made-for-television

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 II, Logic 7 Enhanced (available

only in the 5.1 configuration) or DTS Neo:6,

VMAx and the Hall or Theater modes often

deliver enveloping surround presentations

through the use of the natural information pres-

ent 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 9 to scroll up or

down through the list of available modes. To

select a surround mode using the remote, first

determine which of the surround mode cate-

gories you wish to choose from and press the

button corresponding to that category:

Dolby

Modes

5w, DTS Surround 6x from

digital sources,

DTS Neo:6 & from analog

sources,

Logic 7 7y, DSP 9k modes

Stereo $ .

As you press any of the

Mode Select Buttons

567$&wxy (except

the

Surround Mode Selector k as noted

below) the surround mode name will scroll

across the

Main Information Display Y. Let

the mode scroll so that you read the mode’s

name, but if you wish to select another mode in

that category, press the button again before

the mode name scrolls off to the left of the

Main Information Display Y or on-screen

display.

To select from the DSP modes (Hall 1, Hall 2,

Theater, VMAx Near or VMAx Far), first press

the

Surround Mode Selector 9k.

Next, either press the front panel selector

repeatedly or press the

⁄

Buttons n

on the remote to scroll through the list of

available modes.

An individual mode indicator will also light up

DEGIJKLMN. 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 5.1, DTS-

ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only

be selected when a digital input is in use. In

addition, when a digital source is present, the

AVR 320 will automatically select and switch to

the correct mode, regardless of the mode that

has been previously selected. For more informa-

tion on selecting digital sources, see the follow-

ing section of this manual.

To listen to a program in traditional two-chan-

nel stereo, using the front left and front right

speakers only (plus the subwoofer, if installed

and configured), press the

Stereo Button

$ until SURR OFF

appears in the

Main Information Display Y.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over older

analog surround processing 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 fre-

quency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dra-

matically improved dynamic range and significant

improvements to signal-to-noise ratios. In addi-

tion, digital systems have the capability 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,” “6.1” or “7.1”.The bass

channel 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 is a standard part of DVD, and is

available on specially encoded LD discs and satel-

lite broadcasts and it is a part of the new high-

definition television (HDTV) system.

Note that an optional, external RF demodulator

is required to use the AVR 320 to listen to the

Dolby Digital sound tracks available on laser

discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player

to the demodulator and then connect the digi-

tal output of the demodulator to the

Optical

or Coaxial Inputs *Ó of the AVR

320. 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 or 6.1 discrete or

matrix soundfield reproduction. 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 320. All

that is required is to connect the player’s out-

put to either the

Optical or Coaxial Input on

the rear panel or front panel

*Ó.

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 320, 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 320. Connect the digital outputs from

DVD players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems

or CD players to the

Optical or Coaxial

Inputs

*Ó. In order to provide a

backup signal and a source for analog stereo

recording, the analog outputs provided on digi-

tal source equipment should also be connected

to their appropriate inputs on the AVR 320 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).

If you have not already configured an input for

a digital source using the on-screen menus as

shown on page 21, 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 Select Button

qÛ and then using the

⁄

Buttons n

on the remote or the Selector Buttons 7$

on the front panel to

choose any of the

OPTICAL or COAXIAL

inputs, as they

appear in the

Main Information Display Y

display indicator BF or on-screen display.

When the digital source is playing, the AVR 320

will automatically detect whether it is a multi-

channel Dolby Digital, DTS source, MP3 or a

conventional PCM signal, which is the standard

output from CD players. A

Bitstream

Indicator

A will light in the Main

Information Display

˜ to confirm that the

digital signal is Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM.

Digital Status Indicators

When a digital source is playing, the AVR 320

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 320 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

A will 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.

DTS:When the DTS indicator lights, a DTS bit-

stream is being received. When the unit senses

this type of data, only the applicable DTS mode

may be used. The ES portion of the DTS indica-

tor will light only if you have selected 6.1/7.1

Surround Mode option in the Surround Select

menu (see page 20 for further information).

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 sur-

round modes are not available during MP3

playback.

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the

AVR 320 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. (See

Figure 8.)

Figure 8

These indicators are the L/C/R/LFE/SL/SR/SBL/

SBR letters that are inside the center boxes of

the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Q

in the front panel Main Information Display

˜. When a standard analog signal is in use,

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

analog signals have only left and right channels.

Digital signals, however, may have two, five, six

or seven separate channels, depending on the

program material, the method of transmission

and the way in which it was encoded. When a

digital signal is playing, the letters in these indi-

cators will light in response to the specific sig-

nal 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

320. It is also possible for the type of signal

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.

The AVR 320 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

Q also 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 digi-

tal signal and not through any fault of the

AVR 320. 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 specially encoded Dolby

Digital input sources to be played back with full

digital intelligibility while reducing the mini-

mum peak level by

/4 to

/3. This prevents

abruptly loud transitions from disturbing 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

l on the remote. Next, press

the

⁄

Buttons n to select either the

middle range or full compression versions of

the Night mode. To turn the Night mode off,

press the

⁄

Buttons n until the mes-

sage in the lower third of the video display and

the

Main Information Display Y reads

D-Range Off.

The Night mode may also be selected to always

be on at either level of compression using the

options in the

Surround Select

menu. See page 22 for information on using

the menus to set this option.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL

PLAYBACK:

• 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 Q will

flash. This is normal and does not indicate a

problem with either the AVR 320 or the source

machine. The AVR 320 will return to digital

playback as soon as the data is available and

when the machine is in a standard play mode.

• Although the AVR 320 will decode virtually all

DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possi-

ble that some future digital sources may not be

compatible with the AVR 320.

• 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 320 will auto-

matically sense the type of digital surround

encoding used and adjust to accommodate it.

• When a digital source is playing, you may not

be able to select some of the analog surround

modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3,

Stereo, Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

• When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is play-

ing, it is not possible to make an analog

recording using the

Tape Outputs ¢ and

Video 1 or Video 2 Audio Outputs .

However, the digital signals will be passed

through to the

Digital Audio Outputs

⁄Ó.

PCM Audio Playback

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non-com-

pressed digital audio system used for compact

discs and laser discs. The digital circuits in the

AVR 320 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 or the

front panel

Digital Inputs *Ó.

To listen to a PCM digital source, first select the

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

press the

Digital Select Button Ûqand

then use the

⁄

Buttons n on the

remote, or the

Selector Buttons 7$ on the

front panel, until the desired choice appears in

the

Main Information Display Y.

When a PCM source is playing, the

PCM

Indicator A will light. During PCM playback,

you may select any Surround mode except

Dolby Digital or DTS.

MP3 Audio Playback

The AVR 320 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. Also, some new CD players are capable

of playing back optical discs that are recorded

with MP3, rather than standard CD audio infor-

mation. By offering MP3 decoding, the AVR

320 is able to deliver precise conversion of the

digital signals to an analog output, along with

the benefits of listening to the MP3 audio

through the AVR 320’s high-current amplifier

and the speakers from your surround system,

rather than the smaller speakers and low-pow-

ered amplifiers typically used with computers.

To take advantage of the AVR 320’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 or the front

panel

Digital Inputs *Ó.When the digital

signal is available, the

MP3 Bitstream

Indicator

A will light, and the audio will

begin playing.

NOTES:

• The AVR 320 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 output format from

your computer or a sound card, check with the

device’s owner’s manual or contact the manu-

facturer’s technical support area.

• If your computer or sound card’s digital out-

put is not capable of direct connection to the

AVR, you may use an optional, external

transcoder, such as those available from

Harman Kardon to convert the USB output of a

computer to a format compatible with the AVR.

Contact your Harman Kardon dealer for addi-

tional details.

Tuner Operation

The AVR 320’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.

weak, audio quality will be increased by

switching to Mono mode by pressing the

Mode Button

until the STEREO

Indicator V goes out.

Preset Tuning

Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be

stored in the AVR 320’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

U will be illuminated and flash in the Main

Information Display

˜.

2. Within five seconds, press the

Numeric

r corresponding to the location where

you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once

entered, the preset number will appear in the

Preset Number/Sleep Timer R display.

3. Repeat the process after tuning any addition-

al stations to be preset.

Recalling Preset Stations

• To manually select a station previously

entered in the preset memory, press the

Numeric Keys r that correspond to the

desired station’s memory location.

• To manually tune through the list of stored

preset stations one by one, press the

Preset

Stations Selector Buttons

the front panel or remote.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source

selected for listening through the AVR 320 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 gi in the

record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to

the

Digital Audio Outputs ⁄Ó, you are

able to record the digital signal using a CD-R,

MiniDisc or other digital recording system. In

order to record using the

Digital Coax 3

Output

Ó, you must set this connection to an

output using the

IN/OUT SETUP menu

as described below and on page 20.

Front Panel Connections

In addition to the rear panel digital outputs, the

AVR 320 offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive con-

figurable front panel output jack feature. For

easy connection of portable devices, you may

switch the front panel

Digital Coax Jack Ó

from an input to an output by following these

steps:

1.Press the

OSD Button v to view the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1).

2.Press the

Set Button p to enter the

IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2).

3.Press the

Button n so that the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to COAXIAL 3.

4.Press the

Set Button p and then press

either of the

‹

›

Buttons o/ so that

the word

IN is highlighted.

5.Press the

Set Button p to enter the

change.

6.Press the

OSD Button v to exit the

menus and return to normal operation.

Note that once the setting is made, the

Input/Output Status Indicator ( will turn

red, indicating that the front panel

Digital

Coax Input Jack

Ó is now an output,

instead of in the default setting as an input.

Once changed to an output, the setting will

remain as long as the AVR 320 is turned on,

unless the setting is changed in the OSD menu

system, as described above. Note, however, that

once the AVR 320 is turned off, the setting is

cancelled. When the unit is turned on again,

the front panel

Digital Coax Input Jack Ó

will return to its normal default setting as

an input. If you wish to use this jack as an

output at a future time, the setting must

be changed again using the OSD menu system,

as described above.

NOTES:

• The digital outputs are active only when a

digital signal is present, and they do not con-

vert an analog input to a digital signal, or

change the format of the digital signal. In

addition, the digital recorder must be com-

patible 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

320 is established using the test tone, as out-

lined on pages 23 and 24. In some cases, how-

ever, it may be desirable to adjust the output

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 ı

If you are using a disc with test signals or an

external signal generator as the source from

which to trim the output levels, you may use

the EzSet feature of the remote to guide you to

the correct SPL level. To use the remote for this

purpose, press and quickly release the

SPL

Indicator Select

to activate the sensor.

While the test tone is circulating, the

Program/SPL Indicator c will change color

to indicate the level. Adjust the level as shown

above until the LED lights green for all chan-

nels. When it is red the level is too high; when

it is amber the level is too low. Press the

SPL

Indicator Select

to turn the sensor and

indicator off.

Once the reference level has been set, press

the

Channel Select button

Ù and note

that

FRONT L LEV will appear in the

Main Information Display Y.To change

the level, first press the

Set Button p@ ,

and then use the

Selector Buttons 7$ or

the

⁄

Buttons

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

p@ and then press the Selector

Buttons

7$ or the

⁄

buttons

select the next output channel location that you

wish to adjust. To adjust the subwoofer level,

press the

Selector Buttons 7$ or the

⁄

Buttons

until WOOFER LEV

appears in the Main Information Display Y

or on-screen display.

Press the

Set Button p@ when the name

of the desired channel appears in the

Main

Buttons

n to select the channels to be adjusted. At

each channel position use the

‹/› Buttons

o to change the output level.

Remember, the goal is to have the output level

at each channel be equal when heard at the

listening position.

If you wish to reset all the levels to their origi-

nal factory default of 0dB offset, press the

⁄

Buttons n so that the on-screen cur-

sor is next to the

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.

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 320 is equipped for future expansion

through the use of optional, external adapters

for formats that the AVR 320 may not be

capable of processing or to allow connection

to the output of high-resolution optical audio

playback systems such as DVD-Audio or SACD.

When a device with six-channel outputs (5.1

audio) is used, connect the source device to the

6-Channel Direct Inputs ª.When a device

with eight-channel outputs (7.1) audio is used,

connect the additional Surround Back Left (SBL)

and Surround Back Right (SBR) outputs to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs ‚ on the AVR. To

select these inputs, press the

6-Channel/8-

Channel Direct Button

h on the remote

until the desired input configuration appears in

the

Main Information Display Y.

Note that when the 6-Channel or 8-Channel

Direct Input is in use, you may not select a sur-

round mode, as the external decoder deter-

mines the processing in use. In addition, there

is no signal at the record outputs or bass man-

agement when the 6-Channel or 8-Channel

Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory back-

up system that preserves the system configura-

tion information and tuner presets if the unit is

accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power

outage. This memory will last for approximately

two weeks, after which time all information

must be reentered.

The AVR 320 is equipped with a number of

advanced features that add extra flexibility to

the unit’s operation. While it is not necessary

to use these features to operate the unit, they

provide additional options that you may wish

to use.

Display Brightness

The AVR 320’s Main Information Display

˜ is 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 setting for a

specific listening session, you will need to make

an adjustment in the

ADVANCED menu. To

start the adjustment, press the

OSD Button

v to bring the MASTER MENU to the

screen. Press the

Button n six times, until

the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

and press the

›

Button until the desired

brightness level is highlighted in the video dis-

play. When

FULL is highlighted, the display is

at its normal brightness. When

HALF is high-

lighted, the display is at half the normal bright-

ness level. When

OFF is highlighted, all of the

indicators in the

Main Information Display

˜ will go dark. Note, however, that the green

LEDs for the

Input Indicators ˆ 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.

The display brightness may also be changed by

pressing and holding the

Turn-On Volume Level

As is the case with most audio/video receivers,

when the AVR 320 is turned on, it will always

return to the volume setting in effect when the

unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to

always have the AVR 320 turn on at a specific

setting, regardless of what was last in use

when the unit was turned off. To change the

default condition so that the same volume level

is always used at turn-on, you will need to

make an adjustment in the

DEFAULT

VOL SET

line. Note that this setting may

NOT be made with the regular volume controls.

NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume

cannot be heard while the setting is being

made, you may wish to determine the setting

before making the adjustment. To do this, listen

to any source and adjust the volume to the

desired level using the regular volume controls

.When the desired volume level to

be used at turn-on is reached, make a note of

the setting as it appears in the lower third of

the video screen or in the

Main Information

Display

Y. (A typical volume level will appear

as a negative number such as –25dB.) When

making the adjustment, use the

‹

›

Buttons

o to enter this setting.

Unlike some of the other adjustments in this

menu, the turn-on volume default will remain

in effect until it is changed or turned off in this

menu, even when the unit is turned off.

If you wish to make other adjustments, press

the

Semi-OSD Settings

The semi-OSD system places one-line messages

at the lower third of the video display screen

whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround

mode or tuner frequency of any of the configu-

ration settings are changed. The semi-OSD sys-

tem is helpful in that it enables you to have

feedback on any control changes or remote

commands using the video display when it is

difficult to view the front panel displays.

However, you may occasionally prefer to turn

these displays off for a particular listening ses-

sion. You may also want to adjust the length of

time the displays remain on the screen. Both of

those options are possible with the AVR 320.

To turn off the semi-OSD system, you will need

to make an adjustment in the

ADVANCED

menu (Figure 9). To start the adjustment, press

the

OSD Button v to bring the MASTER

to the screen. Press the ¤ Button

n six times, until the on-screen ¤ cursor is

next to the

Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment

The FULL OSD menu system is used to sim-

plify the setup and adjustment of the AVR 320,

using a series of on-screen menus. The factory

default setting for these menus leaves them on

the screen for 20 seconds after a period of

inactivity before they disappear from the screen

(Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety measure to

prevent image retention of the menu text in

your monitor or projector, which might happen

if it were left on indefinitely. However, some

viewers may prefer a slightly longer or shorter

36 MULTIROOM OPERATION

Multiroom Operation

The AVR 320 is fully equipped to operate

as the control center for a multiroom system

with optional remote external infrared (IR) sen-

sors, speakers and power amplifiers. Although

some multiroom installations will require the

services of a specially trained installer, it is pos-

sible for the average do-it-yourself hobbyist to

install a simple remote room system.

Installation

The key to remote room operation is to link the

remote room to the AVR 320’s location with

wire for an infrared link and speakers or an

amplifier. For installation instructions for

37 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

The AVR 320 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, includ-

ing CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable

boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-

theater equipment. Once the AVR 320’s remote

is programmed 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, backlit universal remote control.

Programming the Remote

The AVR 320 remote is factory-programmed for

all AVR functions, as well as those of most

Harman Kardon CD changers, DVD players, CD

players and cassette decks. In addition, by fol-

lowing one of the methods below, you may pro-

gram 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 320 remote.

3. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

e for the product you wish to control

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

Mute button

at the same time. When the

Program/SPL

Indicator

c turns amber and begins

flashing, release the buttons. It is important

that you begin the next step within 20

seconds.

4. Point the AVR 320’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 con-

firm 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 dif-

ferent 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 320’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 320 remote.

2. Press the

Input Selector e for 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 e stays 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 320 remote towards the

unit to be programmed, and press either

⁄

button n. Each press will send out a

series of codes from the remote’s built-in

database. When the unit being programmed

turns off, release

⁄ /¤

button n, 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 the volume, channel and transport con-

trols, 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

reentered if necessary. You may also read the

codes to verify which device has been pro-

grammed to a specific Control Selector button.

1. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

e for the device you wish to find the

code for and the

Mute button at the

same time. Note that the

Program/SPL

Indicator

c will initally turn amber.

Release the buttons and begin the next

step within 20 seconds.

2. Press the

Set button p.The

Program/SPL Indicator c will 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.

Learning Codes

In addition to using codes from the remote’s

internal code library, the AVR 320’s remote is

able to “learn”codes from remotes that may

not be in the code library. In addition, you may

use this function to “learn over” the codes

from a preprogrammed device to add functions

not included in the preprogrammed codes. To

learn or transfer codes from an IR remote to

the AVR 320’s remote, follow these steps:

1. Place the front of the original remote with

the code being sent so that it is facing the

IR Transmitter Window b on the

AVR 320 remote “head-to-head.” The

remotes should be between one and three

inches apart.

2. Select the button on the remote that you

wish to use as the device selector for the

codes about to be entered. This may be any

of the

Input Selectors e.

3. Press the

Input Selector e button

chosen and the

Learn Button at the

same time. Hold these buttons until the

Program/SPL Indicator c flashes amber

and the light under the device selector but-

ton turns red. Release the buttons.

4. Press the button on the AVR 320 remote

that you wish to program. Note that the

Program/SPL Indicator c will stop

flashing.

5. Within five seconds, press and hold the but-

ton on the original remote that you wish to

“teach” into the AVR 320 remote. When the

Program/SPL Indicator c turns green

three times, release the button. Note that

the Program Indicator will then begin to

flash amber again.

NOTE: If the Program/SPL Indicator c

turns red during Step 5 or 6, the program-

ming was not successful. Repeat the steps to

see if the code will “take.”

6. Repeat Steps 4 though 6 for each button on

the source remote that you wish to transfer

to the AVR 320 remote.

7. Once all codes have been transferred from

the original source remote to the AVR 320

remote, press the

Learn Button .

8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional

remotes you wish to “teach” into the

AVR 320 Remote.

Erasing Learned Codes

The AVR 320’s remote allows you to remove or

erase, the code learned into a single button for a

single device, to remove or erase the code set for

all the codes that have been programmed into

specific device buttons, or to erase all commands

that have been learned to all devices.

To erase a single learned code from within a sin-

gle device’s settings, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

efg within which the individual but-

ton to be erased has been programmed and

which the individual button to be erased has

been programmed.

4. Press the

“7” Numeric Key r four times.

5. Press and release the individual button for

which the code is to be erased.The

Program/SPL Indicator c will blink

green two times and then return to amber.

6. To erase other buttons within the same

device, press them as noted in Step 5.

7. When all buttons to be erased have been

pressed, press the

Learn Button to

complete the process.

To erase all codes within a single device, follow

these steps:

1. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

efg for which you wish to erase the

codes and the

Learn Button .

2. When the red LED under the

Input Selector

turns red and the Program/SPL Indicator

c flashes amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

efg again for the device whose

codes you wish to erase.

4. Press the

“8” Numeric Key r four times.

5. The

Program/SPL Indicator c will turn

off and the red light under the

Input

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently

used combinations of commands with the press

of a single button on the AVR 320’s remote

control. Once programmed, a macro will send

out up to 19 different remote codes in a prede-

termined sequential order enabling you to auto-

mate the process of turning on your system,

changing devices, or other common tasks. The

AVR 320’s remote can store up to five separate

macro command sequences: one that is

associated with the

Power On Button d

and four more that are accessed by pressing the

Macro Buttons .

1. Press the

Mute Button and the

Macro Button to be programmed or

the

Power On Button d at the same

time. Note that an

Input Selector will

light red, and the

Program/SPL 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/SPL Indicator c will 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 .DONOT press the

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 320’s remote has been pro-

grammed for the codes of other devices, press

the appropriate

Input Selector e to change

the remote from controlling the AVR 320 to

controlling 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 320, 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 320. 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

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 print-

ed 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 page 43. To use those

tables, first check the type of device being con-

trolled (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 45 is the Direct button

for the AVR 320, but it is the “Favorite” button

for many cable television boxes and satellite

receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay but-

ton for the AVR 320, but the Open/Close but-

ton 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 320.

Notes on Using the AVR 320 Remote

With Other Devices.

• Manufacturers may use different code sets

for the same product category. For that rea-

son, it is important that you check to see

whether the code set you have entered oper-

ates as many controls as possible. If it

appears that only a few functions operate,

check to see whether another code set will

work with more buttons.

• When a button is pressed on the AVR 320

remote, the red light under the

Input

Selector

e for 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 320’s remote may be programmed to

operate the

Volume Control and Mute

functions of either the TV or the AVR 320

in conjunction with any of the devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, since the

AVR 320 will likely be used as the sound sys-

tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have the

AVR 320’s volume activated, although the

remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 320

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 e for 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 e and note that the

Program/SPL Indicator c will flash

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up Button and

note that the

Program/SPL Indicator c

will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press either the

AVR Selector f or the

Input Selector e, depending on which

system’s volume control you wish to have

attached for the punch-through mode. The

Program/SPL Indicator c will blink

green three times and then go out to confirm

the data entry.

Example: To have the AVR 320’s volume

control activated even though the remote is

set to control the TV, first press the

Video/TV Input Selector e and the

Mute Button at the same time. Next,

press the

Volume Up Button , fol-

lowed 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 320’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 320 or

the remote. To program the remote for Channel

Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector Button e for

the device you wish to have the channel con-

trol associated with and the

Mute Button

at the same time until the red light

appears under the

Input Selector e and

the

Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Down Button .The

Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flash-

ing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

Button

e for the device that will be used

to change the channels. The

Program/SPL

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 320’s remote may be programmed to

operate so that the

Transport Control

Functions

` (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 with-

out having to change the device selected by the

AVR 320 or the remote. To program the remote

for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow

these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector e for 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 e and the Program/

SPL Indicator

c flashes amber.

2. Press the

Play Button `.The Program/

SPL Indicator

c will stop flashing and

stay amber.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

Button

e for the device that will be used

to change the channels. The

Program/SPL

Indicator

c will blink green three times

and then go out to confirm 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

Button

eand the Mute Button at

the same time. Next, release them and press

the

Play Button `, followed by the DVD

Input Selector Button

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 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 e is normally

assigned to the category of product shown on

the remote, it is possible to reassign one of

these buttons 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 normal 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 e you wish to

reassign and the

Mute Button at the

same time until the red light appears under

the

Input Selector e and the Program/

SPL Indicator

c flashes amber.

2. Press the

Input Selector e for 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 e pressed

in Step 1 once again to store the selection.

The red LED under the re-assigned Input

Selector will flash three times and then go

out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button to

operate a second VCR, first press the

CBL/SAT Input Selector e and the

Mute Button at the same time until

the red light glows under the

CBL/SAT e

button. Press the VCR e Button,followed

by the three-digit code for the specific model

you wish to control. Finally, press the

CBL/SAT Button e again.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home-theater

system, occasionally you may wish to totally

reprogram the remote control without the confu-

sion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-

Through“ programming that you may have

done. To do this, it is possible to reset the

remote to the original factory defaults and com-

mand codes by following these steps. Note,

however, that once the remote is reset, all com-

mands 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“ Numeric Key r at the

same time until the

Program/SPL Indicator

c begins to flash amber.

2. Press the

”3“ Numeric Key r three

times.

3. The red LED under the

Input Selector e

will go out and the Program/SPL Indicator

c will stop flashing and turn green.

4. The

Program/SPL Indicator c will remain

green until the remote is reset. Note that this

may take a while, depending on how many

commands are in the memory and need to be

erased.

5. When the

Program/SPL Indicator c goes

out, the remote has been reset to the factory

settings.

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 320’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 8 and the

FM Mode Selector ^ buttons for three

seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and display

the

RESET message in the Main

Information Display

Y. 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
