Channel Direct Input; Display Brightness - Harman Kardon AVR 125 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
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 Ó
Once the reference level has been set, press the
Channel Select Button l Ù and note that FL
LEVEL will appear in the Main Information
Display F. To change the level, first press the Set
Button oÔ , and then use the Selector Buttons
Buttons mq 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

the next output channel location that you wish to

until SW LEVEL appears in the Main
Information Display F.
Press the Set Button oÔ when the name of the
desired channel appears in the Main Information
Display F, and follow the instructions shown earlier
to adjust the level.
Repeat the procedure as needed until all channels
requiring adjustment have been set. When all adjust-
ments have been made and no further adjustments
are made for five seconds, the AVR 125 will return to
normal operation.
NOTES:
• The output levels may be separately trimmed for each
digital and analog surround mode. If you wish to have dif-
ferent trim levels for a specific mode, select that mode
and then follow the instructions in the steps shown earlier.
• In Stereo-Digital (Surround Off) mode, only the
front-left, front-right and subwoofer channels may be
trimmed. It is not possible to trim the output levels in
Stereo-Direct mode, since that mode bypasses the
digital circuitry used for output-level trimming.

6-Channel Direct Input

The AVR 225 is equipped for future expansion
through the use of optional, external adapters for
formats that the AVR 225 may not be capable of
processing. When an adapter is connected to the
6-Channel Direct Inputs e, you may select it by
pressing the 6-Ch Direct Input Selector
6-Channel Direct input may also be selected by
pressing the Input Source Selector Button ! on
the front panel until 6 CH DIRECT appears in
the Main Information Display F, and a green LED
lights next to 6 CH in the Input Indicators .
26 OPERATION
When the 6-Channel Direct input is in use, you may
not select a surround mode, as the external decoder
determines processing. In addition, there is no signal
at the record outputs when the 6-Channel Direct input
is in use.

Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup
system that preserves the system configuration
information and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally
unplugged or subjected to a power outage. This
memory will last for approximately one week, after
which time all information must be reentered.

Display Brightness

The AVR 125's Main Information Display
set at a default brightness that is sufficient for viewing
in a normally lit room. However, in some home theater
installations, you may wish to occasionally lower the
brightness of the display or turn it off completely.
To change the display brightness, press and hold the
Set Button Ô on the front panel for three seconds
until the message in the Main Information Display
F reads VFD FULL. Within five seconds, press
the Selector Buttons 5 on the front panel until the
desired display brightness level is shown. At that point,
press the Set Button Ô again to enter the setting.
When FULL appears in the Main Information
Display F, the display is at its normal brightness.
When HALF appears, the display is at half the nor-
mal brightness level. When OFF appears, all of the
indicators in the Main Information Display F will
go dark. Note, however, that the green LEDs for the
Input Indicators 22
, as well as the Power Indicator 3
Indicators 29
will always remain lit to remind you that the AVR 125
is still turned on.
Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will
remain in effect until it is changed again or until the
unit is turned off.
