SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 17

listening to music through a CD player as
opposed to a movie from a DVD player, VCR or
cable/satellite set top.

If you wish to customize the speaker size individu-
ally to each input, make certain that the cursor is
on the 

BASS MGR

line and press the 

‹

/

›

E& so that 

INDEPENDENT

appears in highlighted video. When this setting is
entered all speaker size settings will be shown
with their factory default size in the menu and all
other inputs will turn to 

INDEPENDENT

too.

Now you should enter the speaker size settings
prefered for the input selected, as described
below. Remember that in this case the size set-
tings just entered will apply to the current input
ONLY, and you will need to go back to the

INPUT

menu to select another input, and then

return to this menu page again to change the set-
tings for the next input. Repeat the procedure for
any input where you wish to have a set of speak-
er configuration different from the default set-
tings.

2. Begin the speaker size setup process by making 
certain that the cursor is pointing toward the

LEFT/RIGHT

line, which sets the configura-

tion for the front left and right speakers. If you wish
to make a change to the front speakers’ configura-
tion, press the 

‹

/

›

E& so that

either 

LARGE

or 

SMALL

appears, matching

the appropriate description from the definitions
shown above.

When 

SMALL

is selected, low-frequency front

channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer
output. If you choose this option and there is no
subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-
frequency sounds with front channel signals.

When 

LARGE

is selected, a full-range output will

be sent to the front left and front right outputs.
Depending on the choice made in the 

SUB-

WOOFER

line in this menu (see below), the

front left and right bass information may also be
directed to the subwoofer.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to the

LARGE

option and the surround mode is set to

"Surround Off", or pure two-channel stereo,
when an analog signal source is present it will be
routed directly from the input to the volume
control without being digitized or processed. If
you have full-range front speakers and wish to
remove all digital processing from the circuit
path, select this configuration. If you wish to set
this option for use with only one input, such as a
CD player that uses an external DAC or an
optional, external phono preamp, you must
choose the 

INDEPENDENT

setting on the

BASS MGR

line at the bottom of this menu so

that only those inputs where the analog bypass is
desired will be routed in this fashion, while other
analog inputs such as a VCR or cable box will be
digitized for surround processing.

Important Note: When a speaker set with a
subwoofer and two front satellites connected to
the Sub´s speaker outputs is used, the Sub´s
inputs must be connected to the Front speaker
outputs

 and 

LARGE

must be selected for

the front speakers (and 

NONE

for the sub-

woofer, see below).

3. When you have completed your selection for the
front channel, press the 

¤

D on the

remote to move the cursor to 

CENTER

.

4. Press the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote

to select the option that best describes your center
speaker, based on the speaker definitions shown
below.

When 

SMALL

is selected, low-frequency center

channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts, if they
are set to 

LARGE

and Sub is turned off (see be-

low). When Sub is on, low frequency center chan-
nel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer only.

When 

LARGE

is selected, a full-range output

will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO
center channel signal will be sent to the sub-
woofer output (except when the Pro Logic II
Music mode is in use).

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround
mode for the particular input source for which
you are configuring your speakers, the AVR will
not make the LARGE option available for the
center speaker. This is due to the requirements of
Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a
problem with your receiver.

When 

NONE

is selected, no signals will be sent

to the center-channel output. The receiver will
operate in a “phantom” center channel mode.
Center-channel information will be sent to the left
and right front channel outputs and the center
channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer output
when 

L/R+LFE

is selected in the 

SUB-

WOOFER

line in this menu (see below). This

mode is needed if no Center speaker is used.
Note that when the Logic 7 Cinema or Enhanced
surround modes are selected a Center speaker
must be used, the Logic 7 Music mode works well
without a Center too.

5. When you have completed your selection for
the center channel, press the 

¤

D

on the remote to move the cursor to 

SURROUND

.

6. Press the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote

to select the option that best describes the sur-
round speakers in your system based on the speak-
er definitions shown on page 19.

When 

SMALL

is selected, with all digital sur-

round modes low-frequency surround channel
sounds will be sent to the Fronts when Sub is
turned off or to the subwoofer output when Sub
is on. With any analog surround mode the rear
bass feed depends on the mode selected and the
setting of the Sub and front speakers.

When 

LARGE

is selected, a full-range output

will be sent to the surround channel outputs (with
all analog and digital surround modes), and
except with Hall and Theater modes, NO surround
channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer out-
put.

When 

NONE

is selected, surround-sound infor-

mation will be split between the front left and
front right outputs. For optimal performance
when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby
3 Stereo mode should be used.

When you are using surround back speakers with
your system, press the 

¤

D on the

remote to move the cursor to 

SURR BACK

.

This line serves two functions in that it not only
configures the setting for the surround back
channels when they are present, it also tells the
AVR’s processing system to configure the unit for
either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation.

Press the 

‹

/

›

Buttons on the remote to select the

option that best describes the speakers in use at
the back surround position based on the defini-
tions on this page:

When 

NONE

is selected, the system will adjust

so that only 5.1-channel surround processing/
decoding modes are available and the surround
back amplifier channels will not be used.

When 

SMALL

is selected the system will adjust

so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround
processing/decoding modes are available, and
low-frequency information below the crossover
point (identical with the one for the surround
speakers) will be sent to the subwoofer output
when the subwoofer is set to ON, or to the Front
LEFT/RIGHT when subwoofer is set to OFF.

When 

LARGE

is selected the system will adjust

so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround
processing/decoding modes are available, and a
full-range signal will be sent to the surround back
channels, with no low-frequency information sent
to the subwoofer output.

NOTE: It is not possible to configure the AVR 135
for 7.1-channel operation. Do not connect more
than one speaker to the Surround Back
Speaker Outputs

, as doing so may damage

your speakers, the AVR 135 or both. When 7.1-
channel information is received, for example
through the 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs

, or

when deriving 7-Channel Stereo or Logic 7/7.1
surround information, the AVR 135 combines the
left and right surround back channel information
and outputs it as a single surround back channel.

7. When you have completed your selection for
the surround channels, press the 

¤

D

on the remote to move the cursor to

SUBWOOFER

.

8. Press the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote

to select the option that best describes your
system.

18 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The choices available for the subwoofer position
will depend on the settings for the other speak-
ers, particularly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL

, the subwoofer will automatically be set

to 

SUB

, which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

LARGE

, three options are available:

• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR, press

the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote so

that 

NONE

appears in the on-screen menu.

When this option is selected, all bass informa-
tion will be routed to the front left/right “main”
speakers.

• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR, you

have the option to have the front left/right
“main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at
all times, and have the subwoofer operate only
when the AVR is being used with a digital
source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency
Effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to
use both your main and subwoofer speakers to
take advantage of the special bass created for
certain movies. To select that option press the

‹

/

›

E& on the remote so that

LFE

appears in the on-screen menu.

• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to

use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with
the main front left/right speakers, regardless of
the type of program source or Surround mode
you are listening to, press the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote so that 

L/R+LFE

appears in the on-screen menu. When this
option is selected, a full-range signal will be
sent to the front left/right “main” speakers. The
subwoofer will receive the front left and right
bass frequencies under the crossover frequency
selected in another setting on this menu, as
described below, and also the LFE soundtrack.

9. When all initial speaker “size” settings have been
made, you now have the option to take advantage
of the AVR’s Triple Crossover system, which allows
individual crossover settings to be made for each
speaker group. The low-frequency crossover point is
set by the design of your speakers. It is defined as
the frequency which is the lowest possible frequency
the speaker is capable of reproducing. Before mak-
ing any changes to the settings for the crossover
point we suggest that you find the crossover point
for the speakers in each of the three groupings, front
left/right, center front and surrounds by looking at
the specifications page of the speaker’s owner’s
manual, by getting that information from the manu-
facturer’s Web site, or by contacting your dealer or
the manufacturer’s customer service department.
You will need this figure to accurately configure the
next group of settings.

The factory default setting for all speaker positions is
100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all channels,
then no adjustments are needed and you may skip
this section. However, should you wish to change

one of the settings, please proceed by pressing the

⁄

D so that the cursor moves back up

to the top of the list of setting options. Press the 

‹

/

›

E& so that 

X-OVER

is high-

lighted and the menu data will change to the screen
shown in Figure 4.

To change the setting for any of the three speaker
groups Left/Right, Center or Surrounds, press the

⁄

/

¤

D until the cursor is next to the

line where you wish to make a change and then
press the 

‹

/

›

E& until the desired

setting appears. The available choices at which
point low-frequency information will be sent to
the subwoofer (or to the Front Left/Right speakers
in case subwoofer is set to OFF), rather than to
the speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz,
100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is
identical to the information for the speakers, or if
an exact match is not possible, pick the closest
choice that is ABOVE the speaker’s lowfrequency
limit to avoid the creation of a low-frequency
“hole” where your system will have no bass infor-
mation.

In cases where 

LARGE

has been selected as the

front channel speaker option and 

L/R+LFE

has been selected as the subwoofer option, the
front channel sound information below the cross-
over point selected for the L/R front speakers
(when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to
BOTH the front channel speakers and the
subwoofer.

The 

SUBWOOFER

crossover point is deter-

mined by the settings for the main speakers, and
by default it will be set to match the crossover
point of the 

LEFT/RIGHT

channels. This

ensures a smooth transition between the main
speakers and the subwoofer. You may change the

SUBWOOFER

setting so that the crossover

matches the setting for the 

CENTER

,

SURROUND

or 

SURROUND BACK

channels, depending on the capabilities of the
loudspeakers used at those locations. For
example, if the crossover setting for your center
speaker is higher than the setting for your main
left and right speakers, you may prefer to set the
subwoofer to match the center speaker in order
to avoid losing low-frequency information from
the center channel, which is heavily used in most
movies and television programs.

Note that the crossover point for the surround
speakers and the surround back speakers will be
identical. That´s why no crossover point for the
surround back speakers is selectable or shown in
the menu.

Important Note: All settings for the crossover
points will be "Global", i.e. they will be identical
for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER
(see above) was configured for "Global" or
"Independent".

10. When all speaker selections have been made,
press the 

¤

D until the cursor is next

to the 

BACK T O MASTER MENU

line and

press the Set Button

F to return to the Main

menu.

11. The Speaker Configuration may also be
changed at any time without using the full-OSD
on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker
Selector 6 on the front panel or 

' on the

remote control. Once the button is pressed,

FRONT SPEAKER

will appear in both the

lower third of the video display and the Main

on the remote to select a different speaker posi-
tion, or press the Set Button @

F to begin

the adjustment process for the front left and right
speakers.

When the Set button @

F has been pressed

and the system is ready for a change to the front
speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main
Information Display ˜ will read 

FRONT

LARGE

or 

FRONT SMALL

depending on

the current setting. Press the 

‹

/

›

buttons 7 on

the front panel or the

¤

buttons 

D on the

remote until the desired setting is shown, using
the instructions for “large” or “small” shown ear-
lier, then press the Set button @

F.

If another speaker position needs to be changed,
press the 

‹

/

›

buttons 7 on the front panel or

the

front panel or the 

⁄

/

¤

buttons 

D on the

remote until the correct speaker setting is shown
and press the Set button @

F again to

confirm the selection.

To assist in making these settings, the icons in the
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators $ will
change as the speaker type is selected at each
position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the
speaker is set for “small.” When the inner box and
the two outer boxes with circles inside them are
lit, the speaker is set for “large." When no indica-
tor appears at a speaker location, that position is
set for “none” or “no” speaker.

Note: These icons are available only when
making setup changes without the use of the full
OSD mode.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 19

As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers
are set for “large,” and a subwoofer is set.

Surround Setup
Once the speaker setup has been completed, the
next step for that input is to set the surround
mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-
round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel
free to select any mode you wish – you may
change it later. The Surround Mode chart on page
26 may help you select the mode best suited to
the input source selected. For example you may
select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana-
log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected
to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a
CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to
set the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred
listening mode for standard stereo sources, where
it is unlikely that surround encoded material will
be used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or
Logic 7 Music mode may also be a good choice
for stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using
the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the

MASTER

menu (Figure 1), press the 

⁄

/

¤

D until the 

➞

cursor is next to the

SURROUND SELECT

menu. Press the 

F so that the 

SURROUND

SELECT

menu (Figure 5) is on the screen.

Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 5)
selects the surround mode category, and within
each of those categories there will be a choice of
the specific mode options. The choice of modes
will vary according to the speaker configuration in
your system.

When the 

SURR BACK

line of the

SPEAKER SETUP

menu (Figure 4) is set to

NONE

the AVR will be configured for 5.1-

channel operation, and only the modes
appropriate to a five-speaker system will appear.

When the 

SURR BACK

line of the

SPEAKER SETUP

menu (Figure 4) is set to

SMALL

or 

LARGE

the AVR will be configured

for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, and additional
modes such as Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES will
appear, as they are only available when six main
speakers are present. In addition, the modes DTS
ES (Discrete) and DTS+NEO:6 (DTS ES Matrix)
available in the AVR will not appear unless a
digital source is playing the correct bitstream.

In addition, some of the modes available in the
AVR will not appear unless a digital source is
selected and is playing the correct bitstream.

Remember that when you use only a single, sur-
round back speaker, you will get the benefits of a
6.1/7.1 system, but with only one speaker
installed at the back of the room. The mode indi-
cations will show 7.1 in some cases, but no addi-
tional adjustment is needed for 6.1 operation.
Remember that the AVR 135 will combine the left
and right surround back channel information
present in 7.1 modes such as Logic 7/7.1 and 7-
channel stereo, outputting the information as a
single surround back channel.

Note: When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is
selected and playing, the AVR will select the
appropriate surround mode automatically, no
matter which surround mode was selected for
that input as default. Then no other surround
modes will be available, except VMAx with Dolby
Digital recordings and all Pro Logic II modes with
Dolby Digital 2 channel (2.0) recordings (see page
27).

To select the mode that will be used as the initial
default for an input, first press the 

⁄

/

¤

buttons

D until the on-screen cursor is next to the
desired mode’s master category name. Next, press
the Set Button

F to view the sub-menu. Press

the 

‹

/

›

E& to scroll through the

available choices, and then press the 

¤

D so that the cursor is next to 

to continue the setup process.

On the 

Dolby

menu (Figure 6), the selection

choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II
Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic
II and Dolby 3 Stereo. The Dolby Digital EX mode
is only available when the system is set for
6.1/7.1 operation by configuring the Surround
Back speakers to “Small” or “Large” as described
on page 21. When a disc is playing that contains
a special “flag” signal in the digital audio data
stream, the EX mode will be selected automati-
cally. It may also be selected using this menu or
through the front panel or remote controls as
shown on page 26. A complete explanation of
these modes is found on Page 23-24. Note that
when the Dolby Digital mode is selected there are
additional settings available for the Night mode
that are associated with the surround mode only,
not with the input. That´s why these settings must
be made only once, not with each input in use.
They are described later in the next main chapter
(see below).

Night Mode Settings
The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that
uses special processing to preserve the dynamic
range and full intelligibility of a movie sound track
while reducing the peak level. This prevents
abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others,
without reducing the sonic impact of a digital
source. Note that the Night mode is only available
when the Dolby Digital surround mode is selected.

To adjust the Night mode setting from the menu
press the OSD Button 

L so that the

MASTER

menu appears. Then press the 

¤

but-

ton 

D to access the 

AUDIO SETUP

and

press Set

F to select the 

SURROUND

SETUP

menu. Press Set

F to select the

DOLBY

menu (see fig. 6).

To adjust the Night mode setting, make certain
that the 

➞

cursor is on the 

NIGHT

line of the

DOLBY

menu. Next, press 

‹

›

E& to choose between the following set-
tings.

OFF

: When OFF is highlighted, the Night mode

will not function.

MID

: When MID is in the highlighted video,

a mild compression will be applied.

MAX

: When MAX is in the highlighted video,

a more severe compression algorithm will be
applied.

When you want to use the Night mode feature,
we recommend that you select the MID setting as
a starting point and change to the MAX setting
later, if desired.

Note that the Night mode may be adjusted direct-
ly any time that Dolby Digital surround mode is
selected by pressing the Night button 

B. When

the button is pressed, the words 

D-RANGE

followed by the current setting

20 OPERATION

On the 

DTS

menu, the selection choices made

with the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote

are determined by a combination of the type of
DTS program material in use and whether the 5.1
or 6.1/7.1 speaker output configuration is in use.

When the 5.1 configuration is in use the AVR will
automatically select the 5.1 version of DTS
processing when a DTS data stream is received.
When the 6.1/7.1 mode is selected, the DTS-ES
Discrete mode will automatically be activated
when a DTS source with the ES Discrete “flag” is
in use and the DTS-ES Matrix mode will be acti-
vated when an ES-Matrix encoded audio track is
received. In both cases the appropriate surround
mode will be indicated in the Main Information
Display ˜ in the front panel display and on the
screen. When a non-ES DTS disc is in use, when
the 6.1/7.1 mode is chosen the unit automatically
will select the DTS + NEO:6 mode to create a full
eight-speaker surround mode. See page 23 and
27 for a complete explanation of the DTS modes.

On the 

LOGIC 7

menu, the selection choices

made with the 

‹

/

›

E& on the

remote are determined by whether the 5.1 or
6.1/7.1-channel configuration is in use. In either
case, the selection of a Logic 7 mode enables
Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 processing to
create fully enveloping, multichannel surround
from either two-channel Stereo or Matrix-encod-
ed programming such as VHS cassettes, laserdiscs
or television broadcasts produced with Dolby sur-
round.

In the 5.1 configuration you may select the Logic
7/5.1 Music, Cinema or Enhanced modes. They
work best with two-channel music, surround-
encoded programs or standard two-channel pro-
gramming of any type, respectively. When the
6.1/7.1 mode is selected, the Logic 7/7.1 Music
or Cinema modes are available. Note that the
Logic 7 modes are not available when either
Dolby Digital or DTS Digital soundtracks are in
use.

On the 

menu, the selection

choices made with the

E& on

the remote select one of the DSP surround modes
that are designed for use with two-channel stereo
programs to create a variety of sound field pre-
sentations. The choices available are Hall 1, Hall
2, Theater, VMAx Near and VMAx Far. The Hall
and Theater modes are designed for multichannel
installations, while the two VMAx modes are opti-
mized for use in delivering a full surround field
when only the front left and front right speakers
are installed. See pages 23-24 for a complete
explanation of the DSP surround modes. Note
that the Hall and Theater modes are not available
when a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack is played.

On the 

menu, the selection choices

made with the 

‹

/

›

E& on the

remote may either turn the surround processing
off for a traditional two-channel stereo presenta-
tion, or select 

5 C H Stereo

or 

7 C H

Stereo

depending on whether the 5.1 or

6.1/7.1 output is in use. The latter modes feed the
stereophonic input signal to both front speakers,
to the rear speakers and to both surround back
speakers (if in use), while the monophonic signal
parts are spread over all speakers, also the
Center. See page 23-24 for a complete explana-
tion of the 5 CH Stereo and 7 CH Stereo modes.

After the selections are made in the Dolby, DTS,
Logic 7, DSP (Surround) or Stereo menus, press
the 

⁄

/

¤

buttons 

D so that the cursor moves

to the 

BACK TO SURR SELECT

line and

presss the Set Button 

F.

After one input has been adjusted for analog or
digital input, speaker type and surround mode,
return to the 

INPUT SETUP

line on the

MASTER

menu and enter the settings for each

input that you will use. In most cases, only the
digital input and surround mode may be different
from one input to the next, while the speaker type
will usually be the same (inputs set to

GLOBAL

). But if prefered you can also select

different speaker types or turn speakers on or off
individually for each input in use.

For superior reproduction of two-channel program
materials, the AVR offers two Stereo modes: an
analog Stereo-Direct mode that bypasses the digi-
tal signal processing circuitry for a completely
analog signal path that preserves the purity of the
original signal, and a digital mode that is capable
of providing bass management for optimal distri-
bution of the low frequencies between smaller
speakers and a subwoofer.

Stereo-Direct (Bypass) Mode
When the analog Stereo-Direct mode is selected
by pressing the Stereo Mode Selector

until 

SURROUND OFF

appears in the Main

Information Display ˜ and the Surround
Mode Indicator ( for Surround Off is lit, the
AVR will pass the analog source material directly
through to the front left and right speakers,
bypassing the digital processing circuitry.

In this mode, the front left and right speakers will
automatically be configured as 

LARGE

; it is not

possible to configure these speakers as

When the AVR is in the Stereo Bypass mode you
may still configure the subwoofer output so that
it is either turned off, with a full-range signal
going to the front left/right speakers, or you may
configure it so that the subwoofer feed is
activated.

The factory default setting is to have the sub-
woofer turned off for this mode, but you may
change that setting by following these steps:

1. Press the Speaker Button 6

2. Press the Set Button

3. Press the

the desired option.

SUB NONE

turns off the

feed to the subwoofer, while 

SUB <L+R>

turns it on.

4. When the desired setting has been entered,
press the Set Button

F@ to return to normal

operation.

Stereo-Digital Mode
When the Stereo-Direct (Bypass) mode is in use a
full range signal is always sent to the front
left/right speakers. By its nature, that option does
not pass the signal through the AVR’s digital sig-
nal processing, creating the requirement for full-
range speakers. If your front speakers are band-
width limited, “satellite”speakers, we recommend
that you do NOT use the Bypass mode, but rather
use the 

DSP SURROUND OFF

mode for

stereo listening.

To listen to programs in the two-channel stereo
mode while taking advantage of the bass man-
agement system, press the Stereo Mode
Selector

 until 

SURROUND OFF

appears in the Main Information Display ˜
and the DSP and 

SURR. OFF

Mode Indicators ( both light up. When only
the 

SURR. OFF

Indicators ( is lit you are in the Stereo-Direct
(Bypass) mode.

When this mode is in use, the front left/right
speakers and subwoofer may be configured to
meet the requirements of your specific speakers
using the steps shown in the Speaker Setup sec-
tion on page 16.

Delay Settings 
Due the different distances between the listening
position for the front channel speakers and the
surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for
sound to reach your ears from the front or sur-
round speakers is different. You may compensate
for this difference through the use of the delay
settings to adjust the timing for the specific
speaker placement and acoustic conditions in
your listening room or home theater.

To re-synchronize the front, center and surround
channels at first measure and note the distance
from the listening/viewing position to the front,
center, surround and surround back (if any)
speakers in meters.

The Delay setting for all speakers configured for
your system will be available only (with 5.1 or
with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur-
