AVR 700, AVR 70, AVR 70C

Configure the AVR for Your Speakers

You will be using the following remote control buttons to configure your AVR:
1. Turn on your TV and select the TV input where you connected the AVR's Composite Monitor
Out connector in Connect Your TV or Video Display, on page 3. Note: Although you can
configure the AVR using only its front-panel message display, it is much easier to use the
On-Screen Display (OSD) menu system.
2. Press the remote control's SETUP button. The AVR's OSD System Setup menu will appear
on the TV.
3. Use the remote's arrow and OK buttons to select "Speaker Setup." The Speaker Setup menu
will appear.
4. Select "Speaker Settings." The Speaker Settings menu will appear.
5. Use the remote's left and right arrow buttons to select OFF, SMALL or LARGE for the Front,
Center and Surround speaker positions, depending on the speakers you have connected
to the receiver.
OFF: Select this setting if you have not connected a speaker in that position (not available
for the Front speakers).
SMALL: Select this setting if the speaker is not capable of producing clean, deep bass
energy at output levels that match those produced by a powered subwoofer. All bass in
that channel is removed from that speaker and is sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front
speakers if Subwoofer is set to NO). Most speakers (unless they are large and powerful)
should be considered SMALL.
LARGE: Select this setting if the speaker is capable of producing clean, deep bass energy
at output levels that match those produced by a powered subwoofer. All bass in that
channel is sent to that speaker.

Note: If your system has a subwoofer and you set the Front speakers to LARGE, the
subwoofer may not output audio except for Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded program
material that contains LFE channel information. If you set your Front speakers to LARGE
and you want your subwoofer to reproduce bass from all program material, set the
Subwoofer to PLUS (see below).
For Subwoofer, select YES (if your system has a subwoofer), NO (if your system does not
have a subwoofer), or PLUS (if your system has a subwoofer, you set your Front speakers
to LARGE and you want your subwoofer to reproduce bass from all program material).
When you're finished, press the remote control's BACK button to return to the Speaker
Setting menu.
6. For now you can skip the "Crossover" setting. For complete details about making
this setting, please download the AVR 700, AVR 70, AVR 70C Owner's Manual from
www.harmankardon.com.
7. Select "Speaker Distance." The Speaker Distance menu will appear.

8. Measure the distance from each speaker in your system to the listening position. Write down
the distances.
9. Use the remote's left and right arrow buttons to change the distance setting for each speaker
so it matches the distance you wrote down in step 8. When you're finished, press the remote
control's BACK button to return to the Speaker Setting menu.
10. Select "Channel Level." The Channel Level menu will appear. Use the remote's left and
right arrow buttons to set Test Tone to "Manual" and press the remote's OK button. After
the on-screen countdown you will hear test noise through the front left speaker.
2c. Channel Level
Test Tone
11. Sit in the main listening position and adjust the AVR's volume control so the test noise is
moderately loud. Note the volume of the test noise through the first speaker. Press the
remote's down arrow button to advance the test noise to each of your system's speakers
and note the volume level of the noise in each speaker.
12. As you advance the test noise through the speakers, use the remote's left and right arrow
buttons to adjust the volumes of the channels until all of them play at the same volume.
When you're finished, press the remote's SETUP button to turn off the on-screen menus.
You are now ready to enjoy your AVR!
