Delay Settings - Harman Kardon AVR 335 Owner's Manual

System Configuration
subwoofer will receive the front left and right
bass frequencies under the crossover frequency
selected in another setting on this menu, as
described below, and also the LFE soundtrack.
9. When all initial speaker "size" settings have been
made, you now have the option to take advantage
of the AVR's Quadruple Crossover system, which
allows individual crossover settings to be made for
each speaker grouping set to "Small". The low-fre-
quency crossover point is set by the design of your
speakers. It is defined as the frequency which is the
lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of
reproducing.
If you have already run EzSet+ the settings calcu-
lated during that procedure will already appear.
No further adjustment is required unless you wish
to conform a specific item to your personal taste
or a nonstandard system configuration.
Before making any changes to the settings for the
crossover point we suggest that you find the
crossover point for the speakers in each of the
three groupings, front left/right, center front and
surrounds by looking at the specifications page of
the speaker's owner's manual, by getting that
information from the manufacturer's Web site, or
by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer's
customer service department. You will need this
figure to accurately configure the next group of
settings.
The factory default setting for all speaker posi-
tions is 100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all
channels, then no adjustments are needed and
you may skip this section. However, should you
wish to change one of the settings, please pro-
Button D so that the
ceed by pressing the
⁄
cursor moves back up to the top of the list of set-
Buttons Ea so
ting options. Press the
‹ / ›
that is highlighted and the menu data
X-OVER
will change to the screen shown in Figure 10.

To change the setting for any of the three speaker
groups Left/Right, Center or Surrounds, press the
Buttons D until the cursor is next to the
⁄ / ¤
line where you wish to make a change and then
Buttons Ea until the desired
press the
‹ / ›
setting appears. The available choices at which
point low-frequency information will be sent to
the subwoofer (or to the Front Left/Right speakers
in case subwoofer is set to OFF), rather than to
the speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz,
100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is
identical to the information for the speakers, or if
an exact match is not possible, pick the closest
choice that is ABOVE the speaker's lowfrequency
limit to avoid the creation of a low-frequency
"hole" where your system will have no bass infor-
mation.
In cases where has been selected as the
LARGE
front channel speaker option and
L/R+LFE
has been selected as the subwoofer option, the
front channel sound information below the cross-
over point selected for the L/R front speakers
(when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to
BOTH the front channel speakers and the sub-
woofer.
When all speakers are set to
LARGE
over point for the fronts (selectable when they are
set to "Small") will affect the LFE signal and the
bass support for the front speakers by the sub
(when the sub is set to L/R+LFE, see above) only.
In that case the default value "100Hz" should be
kept or selected for the crossover point for the L/R
fronts (selectable when they are "Small") as it´s
indicated (and marked by *) behind the
line in the speaker setup menu
LEFT/RIGHT
when the X-OVER option is selected.
Note that the crossover point for the surround
speakers and the surround back speakers will be
identical. That´s why no crossover point for the
surround back speakers is selectable or shown in
the menu.
Important Note: All settings for the crossover
points will be "Global", i.e. they will be identical
for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER
(see above) was configured for "Global" or
"Independent".
10. When all speaker selections have been made,
Button D until the cursor is next
press the
¤
to the
BACK T O MASTER MENU
press the Set Button F to return to the Main
menu.
11. The Speaker Configuration may also be
changed at any time without using the full-OSD
on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker
Selector 6 on the front panel or b on the
remote control. Once the button is pressed,
will appear in both the
FRONT SPEAKER
lower third of the video display and the Main
Information Display ˜.
Within five seconds, either press the
7 on the front panel or the
⁄ / ¤
on the remote to select a different speaker posi-
tion, or press the Set Button @F to begin
the adjustment process for the front left and right
speakers.
When the Set button @ F has been pressed
and the system is ready for a change to the front
speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main
Information Display ˜ will read
or depending on the
LARGE FRONT SMALL
current setting. Press the buttons 7 on the
‹ / ›
buttons D on the
front panel or the
/
⁄ ¤
remote until the desired setting is shown, using
the instructions for "large" or "small" shown ear-
lier, then press the Set button @F.
If another speaker position needs to be changed,
buttons 7 on the front panel or
press the
‹ / ›
buttons D on the remote to select a
the
⁄ / ¤
different speaker position, press the Set button
@ F and then the
front panel or the
remote until the correct speaker setting is shown
and press the Set button @ F again to
confirm the selection.
To assist in making these settings, the icons in the
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators $ will
change as the speaker type is selected at each
position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the
the cross-
speaker is set for "small. " When the inner box and
the two outer boxes with circles inside them are
lit, the speaker is set for "large." When no indica-
tor appears at a speaker location, that position is
set for "none" or "no" speaker.
Note: These icons are available only when
making setup changes without the use of the full
OSD mode.
As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers
are set for "large, " and a subwoofer is set.

Delay Settings

line and
Due 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 or sur-
round speakers is different. You may compensate
for this difference through the use of the delay
settings to adjust the timing for the specific
speaker placement and acoustic conditions in
your listening room or home theater.
If you have already calibrated your system using
EzSet+ the delay settings shown will reflect the
buttons
‹ / ›
results of the measurements made by EzSet+. No
buttons D
further changes are needed unless you wish to
change an item to reflect your taste or a nonstan-
dard system configuration. To change the settings,
follow the instructions below to enter the dis-
tance between the speaker's location and your
main listening position. The measurements need
not be accurate to the inch, as the system is
designed to accommodate typical listening rather
than a specific "sweet spot" position.
FRONT
In addition to adjusting the delay time for each
individual speaker position, the AVR is among the
few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the
delay for the combined output of all speakers as a
group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it
allows you to compensate for delays to the video
image that may be caused by the processing in
products such as digital video displays, video
scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or per-
