Introduction
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon
AVR 140 you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR 140 is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium. In addition to the traditional 5.1 digital decoding modes such as Dolby Digital and DTS, it offers the latest advancements in surround technology such as Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx, the full suite of DTS-ES 6.1 modes, DTS Neo:6 and the latest 7.1 channel versions of Harman’s own Logic 7 technology.
The AVR 140 has been engineered so that it is easy to take advantage of all the power of its digital technology. On-screen menus, fully color coded connection jacks and terminals make installation fast and simple. However, to obtain the maximum enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you to read this manual. A few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls will enable you to take advantage of all the power the AVR 140 is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer. They are your best local sources of information.
Description and Features
The AVR 140 is among the most versatile and multifeatured A/V receivers available, incorporating a wide range of listening options. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digital sources, a broad choice of surround modes for Matrix surround-encoded or Stereo recordings are available for use with sources such as CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II and IIx, DTS Neo:6, DTS 96/24, Dolby 3 Stereo, 5 Channel or 7 Channel Stereo and Hall and Theater modes, the AVR offers Harman International’s exclusive Logic 7 process in both 5.1 and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more enveloping field environment and more defined fly-overs and pans. Although the AVR 140’s primary use will be in multichannel systems, advanced technology is at work even when only two speakers are used, with Harman International’s proprietary VMAx® creating enveloping sound fields from front left and right speakers only.
In addition to providing a wide range of listening options, the AVR is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environment.
A Stereo-Direct mode bypasses the digital processor to preserve all of the subtleties of older analog, two-channel materials, while bass management, available in the surround and Stereo-Digital modes,improves your ability to tailor the sound to suit your room acoustics or taste.
For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR features connections for four video devices, all with both composite and S-Video inputs. Two additional audio inputs are available, and a total of six digital inputs and two outputs make the
AVR 140 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources.
For compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD players, the AVR also features wide-bandwidth, low-crosstalk component video switching.
Coax and optical digital outputs are available for direct connection to digital recorders. A video recording output and a color-coded eight-chan- nel input make the AVR 140 virtually futureproof, with everything needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new formats right on board.
Until now, Harman Kardon AVRs have been able to accommodate almost any source device equipped with line-level analog, optical digital or coaxial digital outputs, including most digital media players. With one simple connection between the AVR 140 and the optional
Harman Kardon 
The AVR 140’s powerful amplifier uses traditional Harman Kardon high-current design technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of any program selection.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more then fifty years ago. With state-of- the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit designs, the AVR 140 is the perfect combination of the latest in digital audio technology, a quiet yet powerful analog amplifier in an elegant, easy-to-use package.

Safety Information
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR has been designed for use with 220- 240-Volt AC current. 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 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. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service depot with a cord meeting factory specifications.
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.
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
■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.
■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.
■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them.
■Due to the weight of the AVR 140 and the heat generated by the amplifiers, there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the unit’s feet may leave marks on certain wood or veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that may be damaged by heat or heavy objects. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks due to a variety of factors beyond Harman Kardon’s control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials used, and normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. We recommend that cau-tion be exercised in choosing an installation location for the component and in normal maintenance practices, as your warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture.
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. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.
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.
Unpacking
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. 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.
It is important that you remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.

MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS 11

Installation and Connections
After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment.
Audio Equipment Connections
We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals.
When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.
1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the CD inputs .
NOTE: When the CD player 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 so high that the signal is distorted.
2.Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, MD, CD-R or other audio recorder to the Tape Input jacks . Connect the analog Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape Output jacks on the AVR.
3.Connect the digital output of any digital sources such as a CD or DVD changer or player, advanced video game, a digital satellite receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or the output of a compatible computer sound card to the Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs
*Ó.
We recommend connecting the coaxial digital audio output of your DVD player to the Coax 1 Digital Audio Input , since that digital input is assigned to the DVD source by default.
4.Connect the Coaxial or Optical Digital Outputs on the rear panel of the AVR to the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.
5.Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown below. Connect it to the AM and GND screw terminals .
6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM
(75 ohm) connection . The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the antenna or connec-
tion uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.
7.With the AVR 140 turned off, connect the optional Harman Kardon 
Digital Media Player (DMP) Connector .
Your compatible Apple® iPod® may be docked in

8.Connect the front, center and surround speaker outputs 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 the 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.
Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a cable constructed of fine, multistrand copper with an area greater than 2 mm2.
Cable with an area of 1.5 mm2 may be used for short runs of less than 4 m. We do not recommend that you use cables with an area less than 1mm2 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 any appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with the applicable local building codes in your area.
When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection now carries a specific color code as noted on page 8. However, most speakers will still use a red terminal for the postive (+) connection. Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on both the receiver and the 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.
We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or surround-left and surround-right speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance from the AVR.
Note that it is not possible to use the AVR 140 in a 7.1-channel configuration. Any source information that the AVR receives or derives for the surround back left and right channels, e.g. through the 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs or during 7- channel Stereo processing, is combined and outputted to the single-channel Surround Back Speaker Outputs .
9.Connections to a subwoofer are normally made via a line level audio connection from the Subwoofer Output to the line-level input of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. When a passive subwoofer is used, the connection first goes to a power amplifier, which will be connected to one or more subwoofer speakers. If you are using a powered subwoofer that does not have line-level input connections, follow the instructions furnished with the speaker for connection information.
10.If an external multi-channel audio source with 5.1 outputs such as an external digital processor/decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is used, connect the outputs of that device to the
8-Channel Direct Inputs .
Video Equipment Connections
Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio components. Again, the use of highquality interconnect cables is recommended to preserve signal quality. To ensure best video performance S-Video sources should be connected to the AVR only with their S-Video In/Outputs, not with their composite video connectors too.
1.Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out jacks to the Video 1 or Video 2 In jackson the rear panel. The Audio and Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be connected to the Video 1 Out jacks on the AVR.
2.Although any video device may be connected to these jacks, we recommend connecting your video recorder to the Video 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks so that you may take advantage of the fact that the remote control is preprogrammed with video recorder product codes for the Video 1 device.
For the same reason, we recommend connecting your cable TV converter or satellite receiver to the
Video 2 Audio/Video Input Jacks , and your television to the Video 3 Audio/Video Input Jacks Ô.
12 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Installation and Connections
IMPORTANT: If you are only using the television as a display device (i.e., if you receive your television programs through a cable box or satellite receiver), do not connect the TV’s outputs to the
Video 3 Audio/Video and S-Video Input Jacks Ô, or to any other inputs on the AVR.
3.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD jacks
.
4.Connect the digital audio outputs of a CD, MD or DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the appropriate Optical or
Coaxial Digital Inputs *Ó. Remember that the DVD source defaults to the
Coaxial 1 Digital Input . All other sources default to their analog inputs, although any source may be assigned to any digital audio input on the receiver.
5.Connect the Composite and S-Video (if
S-Video device is in use) Monitor Output jacks on the receiver to the composite and S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.
6. If your DVD player and monitor both have component video connections, connect the component outputs of the DVD player to the Video 1 Component Video Inputs . Note that even when component video connections are used the audio connections must still be made to either the analog DVD Audio Inputs or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks .
7. If another component video device is available, connect it to the Video 2 Component Video Input jacks . The audio connections for this device should be made to either the
Video 2 Input jacks or any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Input jacks .
8.If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Output to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device.
9.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary, rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that device to the Front Panel Inputs *ÓÔ. A device connected to the Video 3 jacks Ôis selected as the Video 3 input, and connected to the digital jacks *Óit is selected as «Optical 3» or «Coaxial 3» input. (See page 17 for more information on input configuration.)
Video Connection Notes:
•Y/Pr/Pb Component, RGB (see page 13), or Composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats and will not be converted to the other formats. S-Video signals will be converted to composite signal. The OSD can be
viewed on the TV screen in any case, with Video or S-Video input selected on the TV.
•When the component video jacks are used, the on-screen menus will not be visible. You must switch to the standard composite or S-Video input on your TV to view those menus.
•All component inputs/outputs can be used for RGB signals too, in the same way as described for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the jacks with the corresponding color.
But this is only correct as long as only the three RGB video signals are output by the video source, with a sync signal in the «G» signal only, without any sync signal output separately by the source.
SCART A/V Connections
For the connections described above your video device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S- Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals: Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 

2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording VCR.
Many european video devices are equipped with RCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially, not for all audio and video in/outputs needed as described above, but with a so called Scart or Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with 21 pins, see drawings on next page).
In that case the following Scart to Cinch adapters or cables are needed:
•Units for playback, such as satellite receivers, camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1 (normal video devices) or from Scart to 2 RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video devices).
•HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6 RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5 (S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction attached to the adapter to find which of the six plugs is used for the record signal to the VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and for the playback signal from the VCR (connect with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to consult your dealer, if you are uncertain.
•If you use only normal video devices the TV monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6), connected to the SCART input on your TV that is
provided for S-Video.
Note that only the video plugs (the «yellow» cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig. 6) must be connected to the TV Monitor Output , and the volume on the TV must be reduced to minimum.
Important Note for Adapter Cables:
If the cinch connectors of the adapter you’ll use are labeled, connect the Audio and Video ”In” plugs with the corresponding Audio and Video ”In” jacks on the AVR (and with a VCR connect the ”Out” plugs to the ”Out” jacks on the VCR). Note that with some adapter types it may be just turned around: If no signal is audible/ visible when the VCR is playing connect the “Out” plugs to the ”In” jacks on the AVR and turned around. If the adapter plugs are not labeled in that way, pay attention to the signal flow directions as shown in the diagrams above and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.
Important Notes for S-Video connections:
1.Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devices must be connected to the AVR, NOT both, normal video and S-Video In/Outputs (except the TV, see item below).
When both connections are made, only the S-Video signal will be viewed on the screen.
2.Like most common AV units the AVR does not convert the Video signal to S-Video, only vice versa. Thus both connections must be made from the AVR to the TV if both, Video and S-Video sources, are used, and the appropriate input on the TV must be selected.

Important Note for the Use of SCART-Cinch Adapters:
When video sources are connected to the TV directly with a SCART cable, specific control signals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed to the TV. These specific signals are: With all video sources, the signal for automatic input selection that switches the TV automatically to the appropriate input as soon as the video source is started. And with DVD players, the signals automatically turning the TV to 4:3/16:9 format (with 16:9 TVs or with 4:3 TVs with selectable 16:9 format) and turning the RGB video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable, these control signals will be lost and the appropriate setting of the TV must be made manually.
Note for RGB signal with SCART:
If you use a unit providing RGB signals on a SCART output (as e.g. most DVD players do) and you want to use that RGB signal, this SCART output must be connected directly to your TV. Although the AVR can switch three-way video signals (like component signals Y/Pb/Pr), most TVs need separate sync signals for RGB (also with SCART) that cannot be switched and provided by the AVR.
RGB signals can be pathed through the AVR only when no separate sync signal is needed (see last ”Video Connection Note” on page 13).
System and Power Connections
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. The total power draw to the Unswitched Outlet must not exceed 100 watts, that to the Switched Outlet 50 watts.
The Switched outlet will receive power only when the unit is on completely. This is recommended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.
NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.
The Unswitched outlet will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet and the Main Power Switch 1is on.
The AVR draws significantly more current than other household devices such as computers that use removable power cords. For that reason, it is important that only the cord supplied with the unit (or a direct replacement of identical capacity) be used.
Once the power cord is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR 140’s incredible power and fidelity!
