Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet. Do Not Use Extension Cords To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your unit. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Handle the AC Power Cord Gently When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet (Attention: Than memory may be lost after some days). Do Not Open The Cabinet There are no user serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station. Installation Location s To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product. s s Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them. Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may be required. Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface. Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment. Avoid moist or humid locations. s Cleaning When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts.

Moving The Unit Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet. s s AVR70 engelsk manual 11/01/98 11:57 Side 3 Safety Information 3 ENGLISH Unpacking and Installation The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or should the unit ever need repair. To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag. If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center. Conventions How to Connect a Plug The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE ­ "NEUTRAL" ("N") BROWN ­ "LIVE" ("L") 1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK. 2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED. 3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked my the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or greenand-yellow. Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead ­ not simply over the two wires.

AVR70 engelsk manual 11/01/98 11:57 Side 10 ENGLISH Installation, Set Up & Configuration 10 System Installation After unpacking the unit, and placing it in on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment. These steps need to be done only when the receiver is first installed, or when a change is made to the input source equipment. Audio Input and Output Connections Use the "Audio and Systems Connections" Diagram in the inside front cover as a guide to connecting audio components and speakers to the rear panel. We recommend that you use high quality cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the quality of the signals. NOTE: When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall plug. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them. 1. For playback only sources, such as a CD player, CD changer, external phono preamp or external digital to analog converter, connect the output jacks of the player to the appropriately labeled inputs on the rear panel. © NOTE: When the source device has both fixed and variable audio outputs it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or high that the signal is distorted. 2. When connecting recording devices such as cassette recorders, open reel tape decks, DCC, DAT or MD, connect the PLAY/OUT jacks of the recorder to the IN jacks . Connect the RECORD/IN jacks on the recorder to the OUT jacks çé. 3. Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown below. Connect it to the AM and GND screw terminals . Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a cable constructed of fine, multi-strand copper with a gauge of 14 or larger. Remember, that in specifying cable, the lower the number, the thicker the cable. Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than ten feet. We do not recommend that you use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur. Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or electrical contractor. When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Remember to connect the "negative" or "black" wire to the same terminal on the receiver and the speaker. Similarly, the "positive" or "Red" wire should be connected to the like terminal on the AVR 70 and speaker. NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some manufacturers may vary from this configuration. To assure proper phase, and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on your speaker, or the speaker's manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker's manufacturer. 4. Connect an FM antenna to the FM (75 ohm) connection å. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna, or a connection from a cable TV system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300 ohm twin lead cable, you must use the 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter supplied with the unit to make the connection. 5. Connect the front, center and surround speaker outputs î°¬ to the respective speakers. To assure that all the audio signals are carried to your speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we suggest that you use high quality speaker cable. Many brands of cable are available, and the choice of cable may be influenced by the distance between your speakers and this receiver, the type of speakers you use, personal preferences and other factors. Your dealer or installer is a valuable resource to consult in selecting the proper cable. AVR70 engelsk manual 11/01/98 11:57 Side 11 Installation, Set Up & Configuration 11 ENGLISH 6. Connections to a subwoofer are made via a line level audio connection from the receivers jack ñ to the line level input of a subwoofer with a built in amplifier. If a passive subwoofer is used, the connection first goes to a volume controled power amplifier, which will be connected to one or more subwoofer speakers. Video Input and Output Connections Video connections are made in a similar fashion to those for audio components. Again, the use of high quality interconnect Video cables is recommended to preserve signal quality. 1. Connect the VCR's audio, video and "S" Video OUT jacks to the VCR IN jacks ACFGI on the rear panel. The audio, video and "S" video IN jacks on the VCR should be connected to the VCR OUT jacks BDEHJ on the AVR70. 2. Connect the audio and video outputs of a satellite receiver, cable TV converter or television set to the TV jacks KL. 3. Connect the audio, video and "S" video outputs of a Laser Disc player to the LD jacks MNO. 4. Connect the TV MON PQ jacks on the receiver to the video or "S" Video inputs of your television monitor or video projector. 5. There is no mix or change between "Video" (composite) and "S" Video signals inside the AVR70 and no system selection. If watching to both signal systems, both TV MON jacks P and Q must be connected to the TV Monitor. The "On Screen" menus are visible only on the "Video" Output, not on "S"Video. System and Power Connections External Audio Power Amplifier Connections The AVR70 is designed for use with external power amplifiers too. These connections are easy to make during an initial installation, or at a later date should you choose to upgrade your system. Using the PRE OUT jacks µ, connections may be made to external power amplifiers. Connect the PREOUT of the channels to be connected to external amplifiers to that amplifier's inputs. Volume will still be controlled by this receiver. NOTE: When external power amplifiers are used, the center channel speakers should receive at least as much amplifier power as the front left and right speakers. Remote Control Expansion If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote Cont. IN jack . AC Power Connections This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with high current draw equipment such as power amplifiers (not more than 50 W each). The SWITCHED ® outlet will receive power only when the unit is on. This is recommended for devices that have no power switch, or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the "ON" position (as f.e. with the h/k CDP HD730). Devices with electronical power switch may only switch on to standby mode, if pluged in here. The UNSWITCHED oe outlet will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet. Finally, when all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a non-switched AC wall outlet. Note that the ring surrounding the Power Switch * will turn amber. You're almost ready to enjoy the AVR70! If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. They may use this unit's sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the REMOTE CONT. OUT jack ø to the Remote In jack on Harman Kardon or other JR-code compatible equipment. AVR70 engelsk manual 11/01/98 11:57 Side 12 ENGLISH Remote Control Programming & Operation 12 This product is equipped with a powerful remote control. As supplied, it will operate the receiver, as well as most CD players and tape decks manufactured by Harman Kardon. In addition, it is preprogrammed with the remote codes to operate VCRs, LD players and TV sets that are based on the popular RC-5 control code system. If your equipment requires different codes, it may be programmed to copy the codes from most infra red remotes. Loading Batteries The life of the batteries for the remote control is about one year in normal operation. If the green Sending x indicator does not flash when remote buttons are pushed, that is an indication that the batteries need to be replaced. Don't simply through old batteries away but recycle only or return them to your dealer. To change the batteries: 1. Remove the back cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrows. Remote Programming Programmable Keys Many of the buttons on the remote control may be user programmed to new functions that operate virtually any component in your system. Ten CANNOT be programmed with a new code, as they control high level functions. These keys are Main Power ON, Main Power OFF, and the eight source input keys: TV, LD, VCR 1, VCR 2, TUNER, CD, TAPE 1 and TAPE 2. 3. Close the cover until it clicks shut. NOTE: It is important that the batteries be replaced within ten minutes after the old batteries are removed to avoid losing any remote codes that have been programmed into the remote's memory. Remote Control Range The remote will operate at a range of up to 5 meters from the unit, when the batteries are fully charged. The remote will also operate at an angle of up to 30° to either side of the unit. Programmable keys are divided into two groups. Some keys may be programmed with a separate function for each of the inputs. Thus, these keys may change their code when the input source is changed. (i.e. The Play key may transmit a different code when CD is selected as opposed to when VCR is selected.) The keys that may be programmed with multiple codes are the following: All Numeric Keys (0 ­ 9) Forward Play fl Source Power On Reverse Play fi Source Power Off Stop Í Disc/Deck Record Î Disc/Deck  Pause ± Channel/Skip · TV Volume Up / Channel/Skip TV Volume Down ¤ Tune/Search -- Memo Tune/Search , P-Scan 2. Remove the old batteries and insert fresh AAA type cells. Be certain to observe the correct polarity by noting the (+) and (­) marks on both the inside of the case and on the battery cells. It is recommended that both batteries be changed at the same time. Always point the remote transmitter at the front of the unit when issuing commands. If you find that remote commands are not being received by the remote, it may be necessary to use a remote IR sensor. AVR70 engelsk manual 11/01/98 11:57 Side 13 Remote Control Programming & Operation 13 ENGLISH Another group of keys may only be programmed with one remote code. The code contained in these keys remains the same regardless of the source selection. WARNING: These keys transmit codes that are vital to the operation of the product. It is not recommended that they be programmed with alternative codes, as it may then be impossible to operate certain functions of the receiver.

Slide Use/Learn a switch at the top left corner of the remote to the right so that it is next to Learn. 2. If one of the multi-function buttons is being programmed press the source button (i.e. CD, VCR, etc.) you wish to have this function associated with. If you are programming a single function key, proceed to the next step. 3. Press the button on the remote that is to be programmed. Note that the Learning y LED will illuminate. 4. Place the remote head to head with the remote control whose function is being learned. The two remotes should be no more than 8 inches apart. 5. Press and hold the button on the transmitting remote corresponding to the function to be memorized until the Learning LED starts to blink. When the LED goes out, release the button on the transmitting remote. The function code has been successfully captured. NOTE: If both LEDs flash during a programming operation, it indicates that the remote's memory is full or that the remote codes from the transmitting remote are not compatible with the unit's signal format. 6. Continue to program any additional remote commands required using steps 2 through 5. When you have finished programming the remote, slide the Use/Learn switch to the left so that it is in the Use position. Clearing the Remote Memory In normal operation, codes for a new device may be programmed "over" the codes that have been previously programmed into the remote. It is also possible to clear the memory for individual keys, or for the entire remote. When a memory position is cleared, the remote will return to the original factory preset command. To clear the memory for a specific individual key location, put the Use/Learn switch in the Learn position. Press the Main Power Off b button and the button to be cleared at the same time. Both the Sending and Learning indicators will light momentarily. When the lights go out, the memory has been cleared of the user programmed code and returned to the factory preset. Return the Use/Learn a switch to the Use position when you are finished. To clear the remote's entire memory and return all keys to their factory preset commands first put the Use/Learn a switch in the Learn position. Then press the Main Power On button b and confirm that the Learning indicator y has illuminated. While continuing to press the Power On button, press and hold the Power Off b button until the Learn indicator goes off for about 3 seconds. It will then blink twice. Then release the two buttons. This indicates that the memory has been cleared of any user programmed commands and that the original commands have been restored. Slide the Use/Learn switch back to the Use a position to return the remote to normal operation. To program the remote, you need the remote of the device, whose functions shall be programmed. Note that it is not necessary to program all keys, only those that are required to operate the subject device. Keys not programmed will retain the codes preprogrammed at the factory.
