Input Setup - Harman Kardon AVR 7300 Owner's Manual

Input Setup

The first step is to configure each input. Once an
input is selected, the settings mode will "attach" them-
selves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile
memory. This means that once configured, the selec-
tion of an input will automatically recall those settings.
For that reason, the procedures described below must
be repeated for each input source so that you have
the opportunity to customize each source to your spe-
cific listening and viewing requirements. However, once
made they need not be changed again unless you
need to alter a setting.
When using the full-OSD system to make the setup
adjustments, press the OSD Button 31
that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The
➔ cursor will be next to the IN/OUT SETUP
line. Press the Set Button q and the IN/OUT
SETUP menu (Fig. 2) will appear on the screen.

desired input name appears, as well as being indicated
in the front-panel Input Indicators !. As you scroll
through the list of inputs, you may notice that the
video will occasionally switch to black, and you will
hear a slight click. This is normal and does not indi-
cate any problem with the AVR 7300. When the video
turns to black, that is your indication that the proces-
sor has momentarily muted the signal while the proper
video settings for each input are reestablished by the
Faroudja processor. The clicking noise is caused by
the use of a relay to switch between the component
video inputs for the highest signal quality and to mini-
mize video crosstalk.
When any of the video inputs is selected as the
source, you have the option of changing the name that
appears in the on-screen and front-panel messages.
This allows you to associate a specific product brand
or other name with the input, or to simply enter any
name that will help you to remember which source is
being selected.
To change the input name, press the
⁄
Navigation Button o on the remote so that the ➔
cursor is pointing to TITLE. Next, press and hold
the Set Button q for a few seconds until a flashing
box appears to the right of the colon. Immediately
release the Set Button q, as you are now ready
to enter the device name.

complete set of alpha-numeric characters will be avail-
able with the start of the alphabet in capital letters fol-
lowed by the lower-case letters and then numbers and
symbols. Press the button either way until the first
letter of the desired name appears. If you wish to
enter a blank space as the first character, press the
› Navigation Button o.
When the desired character appears, press the ›
Navigation Button o and repeat the process for
the next letter. Continue until the desired name is
entered, up to 14 characters. When the name is com-
plete, press the Set Button q to enter it into the
system memory.

If your system includes sources equipped with Y/Pr/Pb
component video outputs, the AVR 7300 is able to
switch them to send the proper signals to a video dis-
play. The Component Video Input FGH may be
assigned to any source for added system flexibility.
The default setting is for the DVD Component Video
1
Input F to be assigned to the DVD and 6/8-
Channel Direct Inputs, with the Component Video 1
Input H assigned to the device defined as Video 1,
and Component Video 2 Input G assigned to all
other inputs. If your system doesn't include component
video, or you don't need to change these defaults,

To change the Component Video assignment, first
make certain that the ➔ cursor is pointing to the
COMPONENT IN line on the menu screen;
then press the ‹/› Navigation Button o until
the desired input name appears. When the desired
component input has been selected, press the
Navigation Button o to go to the next setting.
If you wish to associate a digital input with an input
source or change the default digital input selection,
press the Navigation Button o while the

To change the digital input at any time using the dis-
crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system,
press the Digital Select Button p on the remote.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box
or HDTV set-top, may change between analog and
digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use.
The AVR 7300's Auto Polling feature allows you to
avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by per-
mitting both analog and digital connections to the
same source on the AVR 7300. Digital audio is the
default, and the unit will automatically switch to the
analog audio if the digital audio stream stops.
In cases where only a digital source is used, you may
wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to prevent the
AVR 7300 from trying to "find" an analog source
when the digital source is paused. To turn Auto Polling
off for any input, first make certain that the ➔ cursor
is pointing to the AUTO POLL line on the menu

screen. Next, press the /

so that OFF appears. Repeat the procedure at any
time by selecting ON to restore the Auto Polling
feature.

The front-panel analog Video 5 Inputs
normally set as an input for use with camcorders,
video games and other portable audio/video products,
but they may be switched to an output for connection
to audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them
to outputs, you must first be at the IN/OUT
SETUP menu. Press the

o so that the word OUT appears. The Input/
Output Status Indicator 15 between the S- and
composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that the
analog Video 5 jacks are now record outputs.
Selection of the front-panel jacks as an output will
remain effective as long as the AVR 7300 is on. Once
the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their nor-
mal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.

The REC OUT line gives you the opportunity to
select which type of audio signal is directed to the
Record Output Jacks (associated with the Tape ∂,
Video 1 π and Video 2 ∆ sources). The default
setting is ANALOG, which will send the analog
signal from any source to all three sets of analog
record outputs.
