User manual HARMAN KARDON AVR 161S

[. . . ] Indb 2 26/05/15 2:29 pm AVR Introduction Thank you for choosing this Harman Kardon product!For more than fifty years, the Harman Kardon mission has been to share a passion for music and entertainment, using leading-edge technology to achieve premium performance. Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon invented the receiver, a single component designed to simplify home entertainment without compromising performance. Over the years, Harman Kardon products have become easier to use, while offering more features and sounding better than ever. [. . . ] € Carefully reconnect the cables from the source devices to the AVR. NOTE: Depending upon the particular components involved, the complexity of the required communication between HDMI components may cause delays of up to a minute in the completion of some actions, such as input switching or switching between SD and HD channels. Controlling the Volume Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel Volume knob (clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote. The volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB) below the 0dB reference point (–80dB – +10dB). Although it’s possible to turn the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. For certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0dB may be too high, allowing for damage to equipment. To change the volume level display from the default decibel scale to a 0-to-90 scale, adjust the Volume Units setting in the System Settings menu, as described in System Settings, on page 34. Selecting a Surround Mode Selecting a surround mode can be as simple or sophisticated as your individual system and tastes. Feel free to experiment, and you may find a few favorites for certain sources or program types. You can find more detailed information on surround modes in Audio Processing and Surround Sound, on page 29. Muting the Sound To mute all speakers and the headphones, press the Mute button on the remote. To restore the sound, press the Mute button again, or adjust the volume. Listening Through Headphones Plug the 1/4-inch stereo plug on a pair of headphones into the front-panel Phones jack for private listening. The default HARMAN Headphone mode uses virtual surround processing to emulate the sound of a 5. Press the Surround Modes button on the front panel or the remote to switch to the Headphone Bypass mode, which delivers a conventional two-channel signal to the headphones. NOTE: You will be unable to listen through headphones if the iPod source is selected. Auto Select: For digital programs, such as a movie recorded with a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack, the AVR will automatically use the soundtrack’s native surround format. For two-channel analog and PCM programs, the AVR uses the HARMAN NSP mode. Virtual Surround: When only two main speakers are present in the system, you can use Virtual Surround to create an enhanced soundfield that virtualizes the missing speakers. Stereo: When you want two-channel playback, select the number of speakers you want to use for playback: • “2 CH Stereo” uses two speakers. € “5 CH Stereo” plays the left-channel signal through the front left and surround left speakers, the right-channel signal through the front right and surround right speakers, and a summed mono signal through the center speaker. € “7 CH Stereo” (AVR 1710S/AVR 171S only) follows the same scheme as 5 CH Stereo but adds the surround back left and surround back right speakers. [. . . ] A configuração “F-3” move o som para a frente do ambiente, e “R-3” move o som para trás. Use os botões Esquerda/direita para ajustar o nível de qualquer alto-falante quando o tom de teste for pausado nele. Se for utilizar uma fonte externa para configurar os níveis de saída, configure Test Tone (Tom do teste) como Off (Desligado), use os botões Para cima/Para baixo para navegar até cada alto-falante, e use os botões Esquerdo/direito para ajustar o nível do alto-falante enquanto a fonte reproduz. Spotify Connect feature may not be used in countries where Spotify service is not available. [. . . ]
