Introduction to Home Theater and Place Your Speakers
Introduction to Home Theater
4HIS INTRODUCTORYYSECTIONTWILL HELP YOUOTO FAMILIARIZEIYOURSELF WITH SOME BASICSCONCEPTS unique to multichannel surround-sound AVRs, which will make it easier for you to set up and operate your AVR.
Typical Home Theater System
A home theater typically includes an audio/video receiver (AVR), which controls the system and supplies amplification for the loudspeakers; a disc player; a source component for television broadcasts (cable box, satellite dish AVR, HDTV tuner or antenna connected to the TV); a TV or video display; and multiple loudspeakers.
Multichannel Audio
The main benefit of a home theater system is its ability to produce “surround sound.” Surround sound uses multiple speakers and amplifier channels to immerse you in the audio/video presentation for a dramatically increased sense of realism.
Your AVR can have up to five main speakers connected directly to it, plus a subwoofer. Each main speaker is powered by its own amplifier channel inside the AVR. A system with more than two speakers is called a multichannel system. The different main speaker types in a home theater system are:
ss&RONTO,EFT ANDN2IGHT The front left and right speakers are used as in a 2-channel system. In many surround-sound modes, these speakers are secondary, while the main action, especially dialogue, is reproduced by the center speaker.
ss#ENTER TWhen you are watching movies and television programs, the center speaker reproduces most of the dialogue and other soundtrack information that occurs on the screen, anchoring it with the picture. When you are listening to a musical program, the center speaker helps to create a seamless front soundstage, creating a more realistic “you-are-there” listening experience.
ss3URROUND ,EFT ANDN2IGHT The surround left and right speakers produce ambient sounds that help create a realistic and immersive surround-sound environment. They als o help recreate directional sound effects such as aircraft flyovers.
Many people expect the surround speakers to play as loudly as the front speakers. Although you will calibrate all of the speakers in your system to sound equally loud at the listening position, most artists use the surround speakers for ambient effects only, and they create their programs to steer relatively little sound to these speakers.
ss3UBWOOFER A subwoofer is designed to play only the lowest frequencies (the deep bass). It augments smaller, limited-range main speakers that are usually used for the other channels. Many digital-format programs, such as movies recorded in Dolby Digital, contain a low-frequency effects (LFE) channel that is directed to the subwoofer. The LFE channel packs the punch of a rumbling train or airplane, or the power of an explosion, adding realism and excitement to your home theater. Some people use two subwoofers for additional power and for even distribution of the sound.
Surround Modes
There are different theories as to the best way to present surround sound and to distribute the individual channel information to the surround-sound system’s speakers. A variety of algorithms have been developed in an effort to recreate the way we hear sounds in the real world, resulting in a rich variety of options. Several companies have developed different surround-sound technologies, all of which can be accurately reproduced by your AVR:
ss$OLBYL,ABORATORIES TDolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II.
ss$43 DTS-HD™ High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio™, DTS, DTS 96/24™ DTS NEO: 6™.
ss(!2-!. )NTERNATIONAL ELogic 7, virtual speaker.
ss3TEREO -ODES 2-channel stereo and 5-channel stereo.
Appendix Table A8, on page 32, contains detailed explanations of the different surroundsound options available on your AVR. Digital surround-sound modes, such as Dolby Digital and DTS systems, are available only with specially encoded programs, such as those available via HDTV, DVD and Blu-ray Disc media and digital cable or satellite television. Other surround modes may be used with digital and analog signals to create a different surround presentation or to use a different number of speakers. Surround-mode selection depends upon the number of speakers in your system, the programs you are watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.
Place Your Speakers
Determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s directions and the layout of your listening room. Use the illustration below as a guide for 5.1-channel systems.
To create the most realistic surround-sound environment possible, you should place your speakers in a circle with the listening position at its center. You should angle each speaker so it directly faces the listening position. Use the diagram below as a guide.
Placing the Left, Center and Right Speakers
Place the center speaker either on top of, below or mounted on the wall above or below the TV or video-display screen. Place the front left and right speakers along the circle, about 30 degrees from the center speaker and angled toward the listener.
Place the front left, front right and center speakers at the same height, preferably at about the same height as the listener’s ears. The center speaker should be no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the left/right speakers. If you’re using only two speakers with your AVR, place them in the front left and front right positions.
Placing the Surround Speakers
You should place the left and right surround speakers approximately 110 degrees from the center speaker, slightly behind and angled toward the listener. Alternatively, you can place them behind the listener, with each surround speaker facing the opposite-side front speaker. You should place the surround speakers 2 feet – 6 feet (0.6m – 1.8m) higher than the listener’s ears.
NOTE: Your AVR will sound its best when the same model or brand of loudspeaker is used for all positions.
Placing the Subwoofer
Because a room’s shape and volume can have a dramatic effect on a subwoofer’s performance, it is best to experiment with placement so that you will find the location that produces the best results in your particular listening room. With that in mind, these rules will help you get started:
ss0LACINGCTHEHSUBWOOFERONEXT TO AAWALL GENERALLYRWILL INCREASE THEHAMOUNT OF BASS IN THEH room.
ss0LACINGCTHEHSUBWOOFEROIN AACORNER GENERALLYRWILL MAXIMIZE THEEAMOUNT OF BASS IN THEH room.

A good way to determine the best location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing it in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to various locations in the room while the system is playing (putting your ears where the subwoofer would be placed), and listen until you find the location where the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

Speaker Connections
Speaker cables carry an amplified signal from the AVR’s speaker terminals to each loudspeaker. Each cable contains two wire conductors, or leads, that are differentiated in some way, such as with colors or stripes.
The differentiation helps you maintain proper polarity, without which your system’s lowfrequency performance can suffer. Each speaker is connected to the AVR’s speakeroutput terminals using two wires, one positive (+) and one negative (–). Always connect the positive terminal on the speaker, which is usually colored red, to the positive terminal on the AVR, which is colored as indicated in the Connection Color Guide Table, above. The negative terminals on the speakers and the AVR are black.
Your AVR uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept bare-wire cables or banana plugs. Bare-wire cables are installed as shown below:
|
1. Unscrew Cap |
2. Insert Bare Wire |
3. Tighten Cap |
Banana plugs are inserted into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap, as shown below:
|
A. Tighten Cap |
B. Insert Banana Connector |
|
into Hole in Cap |
Subwoofer Connections
The subwoofer is a speaker dedicated to reproducing only the low (bass) frequencies, which require more power. To obtain the best results, most speaker manufacturers offer powered subwoofers that contain their own amplifiers. Use a single RCA audio cable (not included) to make a line-level (non-amplified) connection from the AVR’s Subwoofer connector to a corresponding input jack on the subwoofer.
Although the AVR’s purple subwoofer output looks similar to a full-range analog audio jack, it is filtered so that only the low frequencies pass through it. Don’t connect this output to any device other than a subwoofer.
Source Device Connections
Audio and video signals originate in source devices (components where a playback signal originates) such as your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player, CD player, DVR (digital video recorder) or other recorder, tape deck, game console, cable or satellite television tuner, or a device docked in the AVR’s USB port. The AVR’s FM/AM tuner also counts as a source, even though no external connectors are needed other than the AVR’s FM and AM antennas. Separate connectors are required for the audio and video portions of the source device’s signal, except for digital HDMI connectors. The types of connectors you use will depend upon the capabilities of the source device and of your TV or video display.
Digital Audio Connections – HDMI
There are two types of audio connections – digital and analog. Digital audio signals are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes, such as Dolby Digital and DTS, or for uncompressed PCM digital audio. Your AVR has three types of digital audio connectors: HDMI, coaxial and optical. Do not use more than one type of digital audio connector for each source device. However, it’s okay to make both analog and digital audio connections to the same source.
Your AVR is equipped with four rear-panel HDMI input connectors and one HDMI monitor output connector. HDMI technology enables digital audio and video information to be carried using a single cable, delivering the highest quality picture and sound. If your TV or video-display device has an HDMI input connector, make a single HDMI connection from each source device to the AVR.
The AVR’s HDMI Monitor Output connector contains an Audio Return Channel (ARC) that carries a digital audio signal from your TV or video display back to the AVR. It allows you to listen to HDMI devices that are connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection) without making an additional connection from the device to the AVR. The ARC signal is active when the TV source is selected. See System Setup, on page 26, for more information.
The HDMI connector is shaped for easy plug-in (see illustration, below), and HDMI cable runs are limited to about 10 feet (3m). If your video display has a DVI input and is HDCP-compliant, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included), and make a separate audio connection.
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker (usually red), and the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the (–) terminal on the speaker (usually black).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your AVR or amplifier.
Digital Audio Connections – Coaxial
Coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded orange. Although they look like standard RCA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to analog inputs or vice versa.

Types of Home Theater System
Connections, continued
Digital Audio Connections – Optical
Optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from dust. The shutter opens as the cable is inserted. Optical input connectors are color-coded using a black shutter.
Analog Audio Connections
Two-channel analog connections require a stereo audio cable, with one connector for the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). These two connectors are attached to each other.
For source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both connections.
Video Connections
Many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., Blu-ray Disc, DVD player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR). In addition to an audio connection as described above, make a video connection for each of these source devices. Make only one type of video connection for each device.
Digital Video Connections
If you have already connected a source device to one of the AVR’s HDMI input connectors, you have automatically made a video connection for that device, since the HDMI cable carries both digital audio and digital video signals.
Analog Video Connections – Composite Video
Composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. Both the chrominance (color) and the luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted using a single cable. The jack is usually color-coded yellow and looks like an analog audio jack. Do not connect a composite video jack to an analog audio or coaxial digital audio jack, or vice versa.
USB Port
The AVR can play audio files from an Apple iOS® device connected to the USB port, and allows you to control the iOS device via the AVR remote control. The AVR can also play MP3 and WMA audio files from a USB device inserted into the USB port. Insert the connector or device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may insert or remove the connector or device at any time – there is no installation or ejection procedure.
The USB port on your AVR is also used to perform firmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the AVR’s operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the AVR using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVR’s USB port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device. HDD is not supported.
Radio Connections
Your AVR uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas. The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector.
The AM antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna as shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into the
OPENINGS ANDNRELEASEETHEHLEVERS TO SECURE THEHWIRES 4HEHANTENNA WIRESRARERNOTOPOLARIZED so you can insert either wire into either connector.

Making Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the AVR, ensure that the AVR’s AC cord is unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet. Making connections with the AVR plugged in and turned on could damage the speakers.
Connect Your Speakers
After you have placed your loudspeakers in the room as explained in Place Your Speakers, on page 10, connect each speaker to its color-coded terminal on the AVR as explained in Speaker Connections, on page 11. Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration.

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray Disc or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio.
Your AVR’s various Source Selector buttons have default assignments to different input connectors (listed in the “Default AVR Input Connector” column of the table below). For ease of setup and remote control programming, you should connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding default source button is assigned (e.g., connect your Cable/Satellite tuner box to HDMI 1).
However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the video and audio input connectors to any of the Source Selector buttons listed in the table according to where you actually connect each of your source devices.
As you connect your various source components, fill out the “Connected Device” and “Assigned AVR Input Connector(s)” columns in the table – it will make it easier for you to assign the connectors to the Source Selector buttons after you have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the connector assignments later in the setup process.)

HDMI devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables.
If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connector’s Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections to the AVR.

Typical Home Theater System A home theater typically includes an audio/video receiver (AVR), which controls the system and supplies amplication for the loudspeakers; a disc player; a source component for television broadcasts (cable box, satellite dish AVR, HDTV tuner or antenna connected to the TV); a TV or video display; and multiple loudspeakers.
Multichannel Audio The main benet of a home theater system is its ability to produce surround sound. Surround sound uses multiple speakers and amplier channels to immerse you in the audio/video presentation for a dramatically increased sense of realism.
Your AVR can have up to ve main speakers connected directly to it, plus a subwoofer. Each main speaker is powered by its own amplier channel inside the AVR. A system with more than two speakers is called a multichannel system. The different main speaker types in a home theater system are:
The front left and right speakers are used as in a 2-channel system. In many surround-sound modes, these speakers are secondary, while the main action, especially dialogue, is reproduced by the center speaker.
When you are watching movies and television programs, the center speaker reproduces most of the dialogue and other soundtrack information that occurs on the screen, anchoring it with the picture. When you are listening to a musical program, the center speaker helps to create a seamless front soundstage, creating a more realistic you-are-there listening experience.
The surround left and right speakers produce ambient sounds that help create a realistic and immersive surround-sound environment. They als o help recreate directional sound effects such as aircraft yovers.
Many people expect the surround speakers to play as loudly as the front speakers. Although you will calibrate all of the speakers in your system to sound equally loud at the listening position, most artists use the surround speakers for ambient effects only, and they create their programs to steer relatively little sound to these speakers.
A subwoofer is designed to play only the lowest frequencies (the deep bass). It augments smaller, limited-range main speakers that are usually used for the other channels. Many digital-format programs, such as movies recorded in Dolby Digital, contain a low-frequency effects (LFE) channel that is directed to the subwoofer. The LFE channel packs the punch of a rumbling train or airplane, or the power of an explosion, adding realism and excitement to your home theater. Some people use two subwoofers for additional power and for even distribution of the sound.
Surround Modes There are different theories as to the best way to present surround sound and to distribute the individual channel information to the surround-sound systems speakers. A variety of algorithms have been developed in an effort to recreate the way we hear sounds in the real world, resulting in a rich variety of options. Several companies have developed different surround-sound technologies, all of which can be accurately reproduced by your AVR:
Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS, DTS 96/24 DTS NEO: 6.
Logic 7, virtual speaker.
2-channel stereo and 5-channel stereo.
Appendix Table A8, on page 32, contains detailed explanations of the different surround- sound options available on your AVR. Digital surround-sound modes, such as Dolby Digital and DTS systems, are available only with specially encoded programs, such as those available via HDTV, DVD and Blu-ray Disc media and digital cable or satellite television. Other surround modes may be used with digital and analog signals to create a different surround presentation or to use a different number of speakers. Surround-mode selection depends upon the number of speakers in your system, the programs you are watching or listening to, and your personal tastes.
Place Your Speakers
Determine the locations for your systems speakers according to their manufacturers directions and the layout of your listening room. Use the illustration below as a guide for 5.1-channel systems.
To create the most realistic surround-sound environment possible, you should place your speakers in a circle with the listening position at its center. You should angle each speaker so it directly faces the listening position. Use the diagram below as a guide.
TV C

SL SR
SUB
Placing the Left, Center and Right Speakers Place the center speaker either on top of, below or mounted on the wall above or below the TV or video-display screen. Place the front left and right speakers along the circle, about 30 degrees from the center speaker and angled toward the listener.
Place the front left, front right and center speakers at the same height, preferably at about the same height as the listeners ears. The center speaker should be no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the left/right speakers. If youre using only two speakers with your AVR, place them in the front left and front right positions.
Placing the Surround Speakers You should place the left and right surround speakers approximately 110 degrees from the center speaker, slightly behind and angled toward the listener. Alternatively, you can place them behind the listener, with each surround speaker facing the opposite-side front speaker. You should place the surround speakers 2 feet 6 feet (0.6m 1.8m) higher than the listeners ears.
NOTE: Your AVR will sound its best when the same model or brand of loudspeaker is used for all positions.
Placing the Subwoofer Because a rooms shape and volume can have a dramatic effect on a subwoofers performance, it is best to experiment with placement so that you will nd the location that produces the best results in your particular listening room. With that in mind, these rules will help you get started:

room.
speakers can produce the best integration between the sound of the subwoofer and that of the left and right speakers.
behind the listening position.
A good way to determine the best location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing it in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to various locations in the room while the system is playing (putting your ears where the subwoofer would be placed), and listen until you nd the location where the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

Types of Home Theater System Connections
Types of Home Theater System Connections
There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the AVR to your speakers, your TV or video display, and your source devices. The Consumer Electronics Association has established the CEA color-coding standard.

Speaker Connections Speaker cables carry an amplied signal from the AVRs speaker terminals to each loudspeaker. Each cable contains two wire conductors, or leads, that are differentiated in some way, such as with colors or stripes.
The differentiation helps you maintain proper polarity, without which your systems low- frequency performance can suffer. Each speaker is connected to the AVRs speaker- output terminals using two wires, one positive (+) and one negative (). Always connect the positive terminal on the speaker, which is usually colored red, to the positive terminal on the AVR, which is colored as indicated in the Connection Color Guide Table, above. The negative terminals on the speakers and the AVR are black.
Your AVR uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept bare-wire cables or banana plugs. Bare-wire cables are installed as shown below:
1. Unscrew Cap 3. Tighten Cap2. Insert Bare Wire
Banana plugs are inserted into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap, as shown below:
A. Tighten Cap B. Insert Banana Connector into Hole in Cap
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker (usually red), and the black () terminal on the AVR to the () terminal on the speaker (usually black).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( ) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your AVR or amplier.
Subwoofer Connections The subwoofer is a speaker dedicated to reproducing only the low (bass) frequencies, which require more power. To obtain the best results, most speaker manufacturers offer powered subwoofers that contain their own ampliers. Use a single RCA audio cable (not included) to make a line-level (non-amplied) connection from the AVRs Subwoofer connector to a corresponding input jack on the subwoofer.
Although the AVRs purple subwoofer output looks similar to a full-range analog audio jack, it is ltered so that only the low frequencies pass through it. Dont connect this output to any device other than a subwoofer.
Source Device Connections Audio and video signals originate in source devices (components where a playback signal originates) such as your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player, CD player, DVR (digital video recorder) or other recorder, tape deck, game console, cable or satellite television tuner, or a device docked in the AVRs USB port. The AVRs FM/AM tuner also counts as a source, even though no external connectors are needed other than the AVRs FM and AM antennas. Separate connectors are required for the audio and video portions of the source devices signal, except for digital HDMI connectors. The types of connectors you use will depend upon the capabilities of the source device and of your TV or video display.
Digital Audio Connections HDMI
There are two types of audio connections digital and analog. Digital audio signals are required for listening to sources encoded with digital surround modes, such as Dolby Digital and DTS, or for uncompressed PCM digital audio. Your AVR has three types of digital audio connectors: HDMI, coaxial and optical. Do not use more than one type of digital audio connector for each source device. However, its okay to make both analog and digital audio connections to the same source.
Your AVR is equipped with four rear-panel HDMI input connectors and one HDMI monitor output connector. HDMI technology enables digital audio and video information to be carried using a single cable, delivering the highest quality picture and sound. If your TV or video-display device has an HDMI input connector, make a single HDMI connection from each source device to the AVR.
The AVRs HDMI Monitor Output connector contains an Audio Return Channel (ARC) that carries a digital audio signal from your TV or video display back to the AVR. It allows you to listen to HDMI devices that are connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection) without making an additional connection from the device to the AVR. The ARC signal is active when the TV source is selected. See System Setup, on page 26, for more information.
The HDMI connector is shaped for easy plug-in (see illustration, below), and HDMI cable runs are limited to about 10 feet (3m). If your video display has a DVI input and is HDCP-compliant, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter (not included), and make a separate audio connection.
Digital Audio Connections Coaxial
Coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded orange. Although they look like standard RCA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to analog inputs or vice versa.

Types of Home Theater System Connections, continued
Digital Audio Connections Optical
Optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from dust. The shutter opens as the cable is inserted. Optical input connectors are color-coded using a black shutter.
Analog Audio Connections
Two-channel analog connections require a stereo audio cable, with one connector for the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). These two connectors are attached to each other.
For source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both connections.
Video Connections Many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., Blu-ray Disc, DVD player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR). In addition to an audio connection as described above, make a video connection for each of these source devices. Make only one type of video connection for each device.
Digital Video Connections
If you have already connected a source device to one of the AVRs HDMI input connectors, you have automatically made a video connection for that device, since the HDMI cable carries both digital audio and digital video signals.
Analog Video Connections Composite Video
Composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. Both the chrominance (color) and the luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted using a single cable. The jack is usually color-coded yellow and looks like an analog audio jack. Do not connect a composite video jack to an analog audio or coaxial digital audio jack, or vice versa.
Radio Connections Your AVR uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas. The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector.
The AM antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna as shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into the
so you can insert either wire into either connector.
USB Port The AVR can play audio les from an Apple iOS device connected to the USB port, and allows you to control the iOS device via the AVR remote control. The AVR can also play MP3 and WMA audio les from a USB device inserted into the USB port. Insert the connector or device into the USB port oriented so it ts all the way into the port. You may insert or remove the connector or device at any time there is no installation or ejection procedure.
The USB port on your AVR is also used to perform rmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the AVRs operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the AVR using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVRs USB port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device. HDD is not supported.

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray Disc or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio.
Your AVRs various Source Selector buttons have default assignments to different input connectors (listed in the Default AVR Input Connector column of the table below). For ease of setup and remote control programming, you should connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding default source button is assigned (e.g., connect your Cable/Satellite tuner box to HDMI 1).
However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the video and audio input connectors to any of the Source Selector buttons listed in the table according to where you actually connect each of your source devices.
As you connect your various source components, ll out the Connected Device and Assigned AVR Input Connector(s) columns in the table it will make it easier for you to assign the connectors to the Source Selector buttons after you have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the connector assignments later in the setup process.)

HDMI devices
If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables.
If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connectors Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections to the AVR.

NOTE: Remove the protective lm from the AVRs front panel to keep it from reducing the remote controls effectiveness.
Program the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TV In addition to using the remote to control the AVR itself and the AM/FM radio, you can program the remote to control up to ve additional audio/video source devices plus your TV via the Cable/Sat, Disc, Server, Game, STB and TV Source Selector buttons. The remote is also ready to operate your iPod or iPhone device when the device is connected to the AVRs front-panel USB port.
Once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remotes control mode to access the functions for a particular source device by pressing the remotes Source Selector button for that device. To control the AVR, press the remotes AVR button.
Before you begin programming the remote, review the connections you lled in on the Input Connections and Source Buttons table on page 13. The Source Selector buttons are assigned to the components that you listed in the tables Connected Device column.
Each of the programmable Source Selector buttons is set at the factory to control that specic type of device: the Cable/Sat button is set to control cable/satellite tuners, the Disc button is set to control DVD and Blu-ray Disc players, the Server button is set to control digital music servers, the Game button is set to control game consoles, the STB box is set to control DVRs and TiVo devices, and the TV button is set to control TVs.
You can program an unused Source Selector button to control a source device that is different from that buttons factory setting (such as programming the Server button to control a DVD player or a second TV), but completely different types of devices, such as CD players and VCRs, cannot be controlled at all. See Advanced Remote Control Programming, on page 26, for more information.
1. Turn on the source device you want to program the remote to control.
2. Look up the code numbers for the device in Tables A10 A17 in the Appendix. Write all the applicable code numbers in a convenient place.
3. Press and hold the Source Selector button for that source device until the Program Indicator LED on the remote starts to ash, then release it. (This procedure places the remote in the Programming mode.)
4. Aim the remote at the source device and use the remotes Number buttons to enter a code number from Step 2, above.
a) If the device turns off, press the Source Selector button again to save its code. The Source Selector button will ash, and the remote will exit the Programming mode.
b) If the device does not turn off, enter another code number.
c) If you run out of code numbers for a device, you can search through all of the codes in the remotes library for devices of its type by pressing the Up or Down button repeatedly until the device turns off. When it does, press the Source Selector button to save the code.
5. Check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers use the same Power code for several models, while other function codes vary. Repeat this process until youve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the devices functions.
6. If you searched through the remotes code library to nd the code, you can nd out which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selector button to re-enter the Programming Mode. Then press the remotes OK button, and the Program Indicator LED will ash in the code sequence. One ash represents 1, two ashes represent 2, and so forth. A series of quick ashes represents 0. Record the code number programmed for each device in Table A6 in the Appendix.
Repeat Steps 3 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVR remote.
In general, the label for each button on the remote describes the buttons function when used to control the AVR. However, the button may perform a very different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A9 in the Appendix, for each buttons functions with the various product types.
You can also program the remote to perform macros (preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code commands with a single button press) and punch-through programming (allowing the remote to operate a devices channel or transport controls when the remote is in another devices mode). See Advanced Remote Control Programming, on page 26, for instructions on these functions.

We recommend that you connect the AVR directly to a home-network router so that it can directly access the Internet for Internet radio and access other devices on the network for playback of shared content (see Listening to Media on Your Home Network, on page 21, for more information).
If your network uses an automatic IP address, you should not have to perform any network setup procedures. Once you connect the AVR to your home network, the network should automatically assign the AVR an IP address, and the AVR should automatically connect to your network. If your AVR does not automatically connect to your network (in which case the AVR will display a Not Connected message when you press the Network source button):
1. Press the OSD button and select Network. The Network setup menu will appear.

Operating Your AVR
Now that you have installed your components and completed a basic conguration, you are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system.
Controlling the Volume Adjust the volume either by turning the front-panel Volume knob (clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease volume) or by pressing the Volume Up/Down buttons on the remote. The volume is displayed as a negative number of decibels (dB) below the 0dB reference point.
0dB is the maximum recommended volume for your AVR. Although its possible to turn the volume to a higher level, doing so may damage your hearing and your speakers. For certain more dynamic audio materials, even 0dB may be too high, allowing for damage to equipment. Use caution with regard to volume levels.
Muting the Sound To mute all speakers and the headphones, press the Mute button on the remote. Any recording in progress will not be affected. The MUTE message will appear in the front- panel display as a reminder. To restore the sound, press the Mute button again, or adjust the volume.
Listening Through Headphones Plug the 1/4-inch stereo plug on a pair of headphones into the front-panel Phones jack for private listening. The default headphone surround mode for all sources except FM and AM is HARMAN Headphone, which will emulate a 5.1-channel speaker system. The default surround mode for FM and AM is 2-Ch Stereo. Press the Surround Mode button on the front panel or use the remote and OSD to switch between HARMAN Headphone and 2-Ch Stereo. No other surround modes are available for headphone listening.
Selecting a Source There are three different ways to select a source:

Advanced Functions
Much of the adjusting and conguration your AVR requires is handled automatically, with
system and your tastes. In this section, we will describe some of the more advanced adjustments available to you.
Audio Processing and Surround Sound Audio signals can be encoded in a variety of formats that can affect not only the quality of the sound but also the number of speaker channels and the surround mode. You may also manually select a different surround mode, when available.
Analog Audio Signals
Analog audio signals usually consist of two channels left and right. Your AVR offers several options for analog playback:
Stereo: When you want conventional 2-channel playback, select 2-CH STEREO as the surround mode. Sound will be output from the front left and right speakers (and subwoofer, if your system has one).
5-Ch Stereo: When you want to hear stereo sound through all of the systems speakers (such as during a party), select 5CH STEREO as the surround mode. This plays the left-channel signal through the front left and surround left speakers, the right-channel signal through the front right and surround right speakers, and a summed mono signal through the center speaker (in addition to the subwoofer, if your system has one).
Your AVR is able to process 2-channel audio signals to produce multichannel surround sound, even when no surround sound has been encoded in the recording. Among the available modes are the Dolby Pro Logic II, Virtual Surround, DTS NEO:6, and Logic 7 modes. To select one of these modes, see Selecting a Surround Mode, on page 22.
Digital Audio Signals
Digital audio signals offer greater exibility and capacity than analog signals and allow the encoding of discrete channel information directly into the signal. The result is improved sound quality and startling directionality, since each channels information is transmitted discretely. High-resolution recordings sound extraordinarily distortion-free, especially in the high frequencies.
Surround Modes
Surround-mode selection depends upon the format of the incoming audio signal as well as your personal taste. Although there is never a time when all of the AVRs surround modes are available, there is usually a wide variety of modes available for a given input. Table A8 in the Appendix, on page 32, offers a brief description of each mode and indicates the types of incoming signals or digital bitstreams the mode may be used with. Additional information about the Dolby and DTS modes is available on the companies Web sites: www.dolby.com and www.dtsonline.com.
When in doubt, check the jacket of your disc for more information on which surround modes are available. Usually, nonessential sections of the disc, such as trailers, extra materials or the disc menu, are available only in Dolby Digital 2.0 (2-channel) or PCM 2-channel mode. If the main title is playing and the display shows one of these surround modes, look for an audio or language setup section in the discs menu. Also, make sure your disc players audio output is set to the original bitstream rather than 2-channel PCM. Stop play and check the players output setting.
The channels included in a typical 5.1-channel recording are front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and LFE (low-frequency effects). The LFE channel is denoted as .1 to represent the fact that it is limited to the low frequencies.
Digital formats include Dolby Digital 2.0 (two channels only), Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital Plus (7.1), Dolby TrueHD (7.1), DTS-HD High-Resolution Audio (7.1), DTS-HD
surround back-channel information in 6.1-channel and 7.1-channel recordings into your systems surround left and surround right channels.)
When the AVR receives a digital bitstream, it detects the encoding method and the number of channels, which is displayed briey as three numbers, separated by slashes (e.g., 3/2/.1).
The rst number indicates the number of front channels in the signal: 1 represents a monophonic recording (usually an older program that has been digitally remastered or, more rarely, a modern program for which the director has chosen mono as a special effect). 2 indicates the presence of the left and right channels but no center channel. 3 indicates that all three front channels (left, right and center) are present.
The second number indicates whether any surround channels are present: 0 indicates that no surround information is present. 1 indicates that a matrixed surround signal is present. 2 indicates discrete surround left and right channels. (Bitstreams with discrete surround back left and right channel signals will be indicated by a 4, although the AVR downmixes the surround back-channel information into the surround left and right channels.)
The third number is used for the LFE channel: 0 indicates no LFE channel. .1 indicates that an LFE channel is present.
Dolby Digital 2.0 signals may include a Dolby Surround ag indicating DS-ON or DS-OFF, depending on whether the 2-channel bitstream contains only stereo information or a downmix of a multichannel program that can be decoded by the AVRs Dolby Pro Logic decoder. By default, these signals are played in Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode.
When only two channels left and right are present, the analog surround modes may be used to decode the signal into multiple channels. If you would prefer a different surround format than the native signals digital encoding, press the Surround Modes button to display the Surround Modes menu (see Selecting a Surround Mode, on page 22).
The Auto Select option sets the surround mode to the native signals digital encoding, e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio. For analog 2-channel materials, the AVR defaults to the Logic 7 Movie mode. For Dolby Digital 2.0 programs, the AVR defaults to the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode, which creates a 5.1-channel surround-sound presentation from the 2-channel program. If you prefer a different surround mode, select the surround-mode category: Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie, Music or Video Game. Press the OK button to change the mode.
Each surround-mode category is set to a default surround mode:
You may select a different mode for each category. Below is a complete list of available surround modes. (The actual surround modes available will depend on the number of speakers in your system.)
Once you have programmed the surround mode for each type of audio, select the line from the Surround Modes menu to override the AVRs automatic surround-mode selection. The AVR will use the same surround mode the next time you select that source.
Please refer to Table A8 in the Appendix for more information on which surround modes are available with different bitstreams.

D i m e n s i o n 0
P a n o r a m a O f f
Center Width: This setting affects how vocals sound through the three front speakers. A lower number focuses the vocal information tightly on the center channel. Higher numbers (up to 7) broaden the vocal soundstage. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust this setting.
Dimension: This setting affects the depth of the surround presentation, allowing you to move the sound toward the front or rear of the room. The setting of 0 is a neutral default. Setting F-3 moves the sound toward the front of the room, while setting R-3 moves the sound toward the rear. Use the Left/Right buttons to adjust it.
Panorama: With the Panorama mode turned on, some of the sound from the front speakers is moved to the surround speakers, creating an enveloping wraparound effect. Each press of the OK button toggles the setting On or Off.
Manual Speaker Setup Your AVR is exible and may be congured to work with most speakers and to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your room.
EQ calibration, or if you wish to set up your AVR for your speakers manually, use the Manual Setup on-screen menus.
Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the Place Your Speakers section, on page 10, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owners guide for the speakers or the manufacturers Web site for their frequency-range specication. Although you may set the AVRs individual channel levels by ear, an SPL (sound-pressure level) meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.
Record your conguration settings in Tables A3 and A5 in the Appendix for easy re-entry after a system reset or after the AVRs Master Power switch has been turned off or the unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks.
Step One Determine Your Speakers Crossover Frequencies
connected to it; nor can it determine their capabilities. Consult the technical specications for all of your speakers and locate the frequency response, usually given as a range, e.g.,

NOTE: This frequency is not the same as the Crossover Frequency that may be listed in the speakers specications.
determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers will result in bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The highest notes may not be heard at all through the subwoofer.
With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover point. All information above that crossover point is played through your systems speakers, and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. This way, each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and enjoyable sound experience.
Step Two Measure the Speaker Distances
Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.
Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker- placement differences.
Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down in Table A3 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Set the Speaker Distances, on this page 25.
Step Three Manual Setup Menu

L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer, including a) low-frequency information that is also played through the front left and right speakers and b) the special low-frequency effects (LFE) channel information.
OFF: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information will be sent to the front left and right speakers.
LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the full-range program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the LFE-channel information to the subwoofer.
When you have nished entering the settings, press the remotes Back button.
Set the Speaker Distances
As described above in Step Two, when you measured the distances from each of your speakers to the listening position, your AVR provides an adjustment that compensates for the different distances so that the sound from each speaker will reach the listening position at the proper time. This process will improve the clarity and detail of the sound.
After you return to the Manual Setup menu, navigate to the Distance line and press the OK button to display the Distance menu.

Enter the distance from each speaker to the listening position that you measured in Step Two and recorded in Table A3 in the Appendix (see page 30). Select a speaker, then use the Left/Right buttons to change the measurement. You can enter distances between 0 and 30 feet (9m). The default distance for all speakers is 10 feet (3m).
The default unit of measurement is meters. To change the unit to feet, scroll down to the Unit line and press the Left/Right buttons.
When you have nished entering the settings, press the remotes Back button.
Step Four Setting Channel Output Levels Manually
For a conventional stereo AVR, a simple balance control adjusts the stereo imaging by varying the relative loudness of the left and right channels. In a home theater system with up to ve main channels plus a subwoofer, achieving proper imaging becomes both more critical and more complex. The goal is to ensure that each channel is heard at the listening position with equal loudness (when signals of equal loudness are played through them).

System Setup
operate. Press the OSD button and navigate to the System Setup line. Press the OK button to display the System Setup menu.
VFD Fade Time Out: Some people nd the brightness of the AVRs front-panel display distracting during movies or listening sessions. Its possible to dim the front-panel display completely using the remotes Display Dimmer button (see System Remote Control Functions, on pages 8 and 9). The VFD Fade Time Out sets the display to remain dark most of the time, lighting up only when a button is pressed or a remote command is received, and going dark again ve seconds after the last command. The feature also causes the display to light up only when a button is pressed but the display immediately begins to fade to dark. This setting allows you to program the length of the fade time. Select a time-out period of between three and ten seconds, or select Off if you prefer to leave the displays on at all times or to use the Display Dimmer button.
Volume Default and Default Volume Set: These two settings are used together to program the volume level the AVR defaults to when you turn it on. Set Volume Default to On, and then set the Default Volume Set to the desired turn-on volume. When Volume Default is set to Off, the AVR will turn on at the last-used volume setting from the previous listening session.
HDMI Audio To TV: This setting determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed through the HDMI Monitor Out connector to the video display. In normal operation, leave this setting at Off, as audio will be played through the AVR. To use the TV by itself, without the home theater system, turn this setting to On. In this case, you will need to mute the TVs speakers (or switch the setting to Off) when using the AVR for audio.
Semi OSD Time Out: Program the amount of time (2 to 5 seconds) the two-line semi- OSD status messages remain on screen, or deactivate the semi-OSD display altogether if you nd it distracting. These messages will continue to appear on the AVRs front-panel display.
Full OSD Time Out: Program the amount of time (20, 30, 40 or 50 seconds) the full OSD menus remain visible on screen. The full OSD system may not be deactivated.
HDMI Link: This setting allows the communication of control information among the HDMI devices in your system. Turn this setting to On to allow control communication among the HDMI devices; turn the setting to Off to forbid control communication.
Adjust Lip Sync: a source to eliminate a lip sync problem. Lip sync issues can occur when the video portion of a signal undergoes additional processing in either the source device or the video display. Use the Left/Right buttons to delay the audio by up to 180ms.
Upgrade Software: If a software upgrade is released for your AVR, installation instructions will be available in the Product Support section of the Web site or from Harman Kardon customer service. At that time, access this submenu to install the software upgrade.
IMPORTANT: During a system upgrade, do not power off the AVR or use any of its controls. Doing so could permanently damage the AVR.

Хорошее руководство по эксплуатации
Законодательство обязывает продавца передать покупателю, вместе с товаром, руководство по эксплуатации Harman Kardon AVR 170. Отсутствие инструкции либо неправильная информация, переданная потребителю, составляют основание для рекламации в связи с несоответствием устройства с договором. В законодательстве допускается предоставлении руководства в другой, чем бумажная форме, что, в последнее время, часто используется, предоставляя графическую или электронную форму инструкции Harman Kardon AVR 170 или обучающее видео для пользователей. Условием остается четкая и понятная форма.
Что такое руководство?
Слово происходит от латинского «instructio», тоесть привести в порядок. Следовательно в инструкции Harman Kardon AVR 170 можно найти описание этапов поведения. Цель инструкции заключается в облегчении запуска, использования оборудования либо выполнения определенной деятельности. Инструкция является набором информации о предмете/услуге, подсказкой.
К сожалению немного пользователей находит время для чтения инструкций Harman Kardon AVR 170, и хорошая инструкция позволяет не только узнать ряд дополнительных функций приобретенного устройства, но и позволяет избежать возникновения большинства поломок.
Из чего должно состоять идеальное руководство по эксплуатации?
Прежде всего в инструкции Harman Kardon AVR 170 должна находится:
— информация относительно технических данных устройства Harman Kardon AVR 170
— название производителя и год производства оборудования Harman Kardon AVR 170
— правила обслуживания, настройки и ухода за оборудованием Harman Kardon AVR 170
— знаки безопасности и сертификаты, подтверждающие соответствие стандартам
Почему мы не читаем инструкций?
Как правило из-за нехватки времени и уверенности в отдельных функциональностях приобретенных устройств. К сожалению само подсоединение и запуск Harman Kardon AVR 170 это слишком мало. Инструкция заключает ряд отдельных указаний, касающихся функциональности, принципов безопасности, способов ухода (даже то, какие средства стоит использовать), возможных поломок Harman Kardon AVR 170 и способов решения проблем, возникающих во время использования. И наконец то, в инструкции можно найти адресные данные сайта Harman Kardon, в случае отсутствия эффективности предлагаемых решений. Сейчас очень большой популярностью пользуются инструкции в форме интересных анимаций или видео материалов, которое лучше, чем брошюра воспринимаются пользователем. Такой вид инструкции позволяет пользователю просмотреть весь фильм, не пропуская спецификацию и сложные технические описания Harman Kardon AVR 170, как это часто бывает в случае бумажной версии.
Почему стоит читать инструкции?
Прежде всего здесь мы найдем ответы касательно конструкции, возможностей устройства Harman Kardon AVR 170, использования отдельных аксессуаров и ряд информации, позволяющей вполне использовать все функции и упрощения.
После удачной покупки оборудования/устройства стоит посвятить несколько минут для ознакомления с каждой частью инструкции Harman Kardon AVR 170. Сейчас их старательно готовят или переводят, чтобы они были не только понятными для пользователя, но и чтобы выполняли свою основную информационно-поддерживающую функцию.
Покупал агрегат исключительно из-за внешнего вида и цены. Мне понравился минималистичный дизайн, который очень подходил к LP-проигрывателю Music Hall, в паре с которым и предполагалась его работа. Но, пожалуй, заменю его на что то более приятное в использовании, а не только красивое, а этот, скорее всего, пущу на озвучку комнат и для интернет-радио, штука удобная.
Провода кидать не хотелось, поэтому я его подключил к МГТС-овскому GPON модему через Wi-Fi, настроив роутер, как Wi-Fi повторитель. Повозившись изрядно.
Если кому станет интересно как, ищите «Роутер, как репитер»
Достоинства: 1. Стильный внешний вид. Этого не отнять, хоть и впечатление сгладилось неприятными тактильными ощущениями в работе.
2. Просторный корпус.
3. Лёгкий (в нём используется импульсный блок питания).
4. Цена.
Недостатки: 1. Встроенный в аппарат Wi-Fi модуль ограничен применением только с продукцией Apple в качестве Air-play.
2. На пульте куча кнопок (65! и по больше части довольно мелких), но при этом с пульта недоступны некоторые нужные функции, например настройки работы декодера (stereo/dolby и т.д.), нужно жать кнопки на корпусе. Хотя это можно сделать один раз для каждого источника и забыть или пользоваться редко.
3. Эти самые кнопки на корпусе подписаны очень мелким шрифтом, который, вопреки моим ожиданиям, не подсвечивается во включенном состоянии, из-за чего они плохо читаемы. Сами кнопки не очень приятны на ощупь, а тактильные ощущения от нажатия, как от дешёвой китайской игрушки.
4. Регулятор громкости утоплен почти заподлицо и не выдвигается при включении, на что я тоже рассчитывал. Непривычно и

До этого я являлся счастливым владельцем «Pioneer VSX422». Счастливым был до тех пор, пока он не сломался, а за ремонт заломили 2 стоимости ресивера. Пока он был рабочий, настраивал я его по всякому, и с помощью MCACC калибровки, и вручную, и режимы разные пробовал, но звук особо улучшить не удавалось. Грешил на акустику «Sony SS-FCR6000», но после покупки Harman/Kardon я понял что акустика нормальная. Даже тыловые колонки не такое днище как я думал, они буквально ожили с новым ресивером. Возможно я неправильно настроил пионер.
Также использовал автоматическую калибровку, в настройках ресивера особо не лазил, да и настроек там мало. Звук из коробки очень хороший, что важно для тех кто не умеет толково настраивать подобную технику.
Достоинства: Чистый звук
Минимум настроек, для нубов типа меня
Офигительный минималистичный дизайн и подсветка крутилки просто великолепны!
Легкий. Возможно с точки зрения технической начинки это и минус, но я в ней не шарю, поэтому для меня плюс
Недостатки: Возможно кому-то не понравится то, что ресивер уходит в сон ночью, когда на него не идут сигналы. Насколько я знаю это поведение настраивается.
Для меня лично это плюс т.к. предыдущий ресивер вместо ухода в сон посреди ночи начинал противно шипеть тыловыми колонками у изголовья кровати, что дико бесило и приходилось ставить mute вручную.

Не хотел покупать обычный усилитель, потому что это уже не современно. Опробовал все фишки данного аппарата и очень доволен (DLNA, Windows media player, USB (только fat32), AirPlay, HK Remote, Интернет радио (очень большой выбор на различные тематики разных стран). Подключил через него домашнюю TV приставку билайна. Пробовал по сетке запускать mp3 320 и flac (хотя в официальной доке он не значился), воспроизводит нормально. Прикольно лежа на диване рулить с iphone или Андроида аудио файлами, которые расположены на DLNA сервере (на компе). Звук чистый, но кажется средних не хватает для просмотра телевизора (возможно не до настроил). И еще кажется мощности не особо хватает для 100вт колонок Jamo (2шт.). При подключении 5.1 вообще очень тихо будет. До того как отключил лишние каналы и не включил virtual surround (увеличивает громкость) выкручивал громкость почти на всю.
Достоинства: Очень много функций и хороший звук.
Недостатки: Слабоват для моей акустики. И со средними пока не разобрался.

не советую обновлять по.
Достоинства: Чистейший звук, стильный дизайн, airplay, Hdmi — ARC возможность управлять пультом от телевизора (включение — выключение, громкость)
Недостатки: не обнаружено

просто посмотрите на его вес — менее 6 кило ! и больше вопроса купит его или нет не возникнет. это худшее что можно представить. удивлен что такая фирма такое творение вообще выпустило на рынок
Достоинства: симпатичный дизайн
Недостатки: это худшее творение от харман кардон. почти не читает музыку по ЮСБ, отвратительная эргономика, уход в спящий режим.

Оставлял здесь коммент о Yamaha rx-v 473 писал о ней положительно, но наверное был не в себе.Потому как спустя полгода стало невозможным слушать это инженерное чудо японских мастеров. поэтому буду писать исходя из опыта обладателя 2-х моделей.Harman- божественнен.Наконец-то я услышал высокие.Как yamahe удалось почти полностью убрать высокие, я не знаю.я думал у меня пищалки сгорели.Детализация хармана прекрасная.четкая передача тылов,центров,фронтов в кино.В музыке-в режиме стерео раскладывает сигнал как и задумывал музыкант.картина на слух может раскладываться на несколько слоёв(внизу шуршат тарелки,в середине гитара и в целом звуковом пространстве- мелодия и по комнате перестукиваются бонго-божественно)саб- не особо нужен,бассы приличные, но для кино вещь необходимая, так как придаёт более ощутимый эффект.Читает USB флешки,хард 250(только в fat32).СД пускал по аналогу и HDMI.В принципе разница не очень сильная.Аналог имеет чуть лучшую мягкость,стерео эффект,цифра более сбалансированный звук.не очень понравился пульт и навигация.здесь ямаха вне конкуренции.с другой стороны с ямахой сидишь и пытаешся вымучить звук, а харман просто играет и играет прекрасно.кстати хармановский пульт можно программировать,но инструкции на русском нет,а мне это представляется не очень лёгким делом.очень понравился режим Logic7 Music.Звук добавляется в тылы, но не сильно, в результате получается приятный окружающий звук.В общем, по сравнению с Ямахой, открываю для себя новое звучание старых сд.МП3 также хороши,но всё-таки сд мощнее.Кино в DolbyDigital- идеально.Достаточный сигнал как в тылах, так и в центре,фронтах.Дизайн-по мне один из лучших.В общем, я действительно очень доволен и этот ресивер я ещё очень не скоро захочу обновить.устраивает на все 100, тем более, что в Москве появился по цене в 13900р..в будущем хочу обновить акустику от harman corp.
p.s прошло 2 месяца-божественен.давно такого не встречал.внутри душевный спокой.НЕ ХОЧУ менять.
Достоинства: Потрясающее качество звука, отменная детализация и прорисовка звуковой картины
Недостатки: не очень удобный пульт

Все хорошо в этом ресивере, НО, если бы не глюк который меня уже достал, я бы не выражался столь отрицательно о нем. В режиме AUX апарат через 20-30 минут уходит в sleep и я не могу это победить ничем. Перепрошивал, перенастрйвал, но ничего не помогло.
Достоинства: Хороший звук
Недостатки: Неудобная эргономика, неудобный пульт, сам уходит в спящий режим

Работает в купе с акустикой Варфадейл даймонд 9.5 — 2 фронтальных колонки. Сабик и не нужен. Звук наилудший. Выбирал более месяца между пионером 822 и ямахой 471.
Достоинства: Звук, ЮСБ и мн. другое. Все кроме работы по сети. Подключен к маршрутизатору АЗУС N66U. По сетке видит жесткий диск, подключенный к маршрутизатору, песни читает с горем пополам, можно сказать не читает. Виснет по полной.
Недостатки: Сеть тупит, интернет радио вообще не работает, потоковое аудио воспроизводит с горем пополам
