The last option line in this menu is the setting to
turn the unit’s upsampling feature on or off. In
normal use, this feature is turned off, which
means that digital sources are processed at their
native sample rate. For example, a 48kHz digital
source will be processed at 48kHz. However, the
AVR 235 allows you to upsample the incoming
48kHz signals to 96kHz for added resolution.

To take advantage of this feature, press the

Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

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 26 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 speaker output configuration is in use. In
either case, the selection of a Logic 7 mode
enables Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 pro-
cessing to create fully enveloping, multichannel
surround from either two-channel Stereo or
Matrix-encoded programming such as VHS
cassettes, laserdiscs or television broadcasts
produced with Dolby surround.

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, but the output
will be in a full eight-channel sound field. Note
that the Logic 7 modes are not available when
either Dolby Digital or DTS Digital soundtracks
are in use.

On 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
presentations. The choices available are Hall 1,
Hall 2, Theater, VMAx Near and VMAx Far. The
Hall and Theater modes are designed for multi-
channel installations, while the two VMAx modes
are optimized for use in delivering a full surround
field when only the front left and front right
speakers are installed. See pages 25 for a com-
plete 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

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 speak-
ers, 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 26-27 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 pro-
gram materials, the AVR offers two Stereo modes:
an analog Stereo-Direct mode that bypasses the
digital 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 opti-
mal distribution 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

˜ and the Surround

( 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 

SMALL

.

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.

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

F@ to return to nor-

mal 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 digi-
tal signal processing, creating the requirement
for full-range speakers. If your front speakers are
bandwidth limited, “satellite”speakers, we rec-
ommend 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

( both light up. When only

the 

SURR. OFF

( 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 17.

Delay Settings 
Due the different distances between the listen-
ing 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 surround speakers is different. You may com-
pensate for this difference through the use of
the delay settings to adjust the timing for the
specific speaker placement and acoustic condi-
tions 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.

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each
individual speaker position, the AVR is among
the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust
the delay for the combined output of all speak-
ers as a group. This feature is called A/V Sync
Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to
the video image that may be caused by the pro-
cessing in products such as digital video dis-
plays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite sys-
tems, or personal video recorders. With proper
adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you
can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be
caused by digital video applications.

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-
round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo).
In addition they are selectable with these modes
only, with all other modes the delay times are
fixed.
Note that the Delay settings are "Global" for all
inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need not
to be repeated with any input.

To start with the delay settings at first select any
input associated with such a Dolby mode. Next,
continue within the 

MASTER MENU

(Figure

video source or a digital video display that caus-
es lack of lip sync you may use the A/V Sync
adjust feature to delay the audio signal as it is
sent to all channels (as opposed to the individ-
ual settings) so that the picture and sound are
brought back together. We recommend that this
adjustment be made using the direct access con-
trols on the remote, as shown below. That
enables you to see the image while making the
adjustment; however, you may also adjust it here
using the menu system.

To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the

Output Level Adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration of any surround-sound product. It
is particularly important for a digital receiver such
as the AVR, as correct outputs ensure that you
hear sound tracks with the proper directionality
and intensity.

NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the
operation of the surround channels. While some
assume that sound should always be coming
from each speaker, most of the time there will be
little or no sound in the surround channels. This
is because they are only used when a movie
director or sound mixer specifically places sound
there to create ambience, a special effect or to
continue action from the front of the room to
the rear. When the output levels are properly
set, it is normal for surround speakers to
operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing
the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the
illusion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-
cates the way you hear sound in a movie theater
or concert hall.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level can be
adjusted for each digital and analog surround
mode individually. This allows you to compensate
for level differences between speakers, that may
also vary with the surround mode selected, or to
increase or decrease the level of certain speakers
intentionally, depending on the surround mode
selected. Note that adjustments made for any
surround mode are effective with all inputs asso-
ciated with the same surround mode.

Before beginning the output level adjustment
process, make certain that all speaker connec-
tions have been properly made. The system
volume should be turned down at first. Finally,
make certain that the Balance Control

Ò is

set to the center “12 o’clock” position.

Using EzSet
Harman Kardon’s exclusive EzSet remote makes
it possible to quickly and accurately set the AVR’s
output levels without the use of a sound pressure
meter, although manual adjustment is also avail-
able. However, for the easiest set-up, follow
these steps while seated in the listening position
that will be used most often:

1. Make certain that all speaker positions have

been properly configured for their “large” or
“small” settings (as outlined above) and turn
off the OSD system if it is in use.

2. Adjust the volume so that it is at 

-10

, as

shown in the on-screen display or Main
Information Display

˜.

3. Select any input associated with the surround

mode for which you want to adjust the output
levels. Remember that the same adjustments
must be made with all other surround modes
you´ve in use.

4. Hold the remote in front of you, being sure not

to cover the EzSet Sensor Microphone

Q

at the top of the remote and aim it at the AVR,
don´t hold it vertically (like a microphone).

5. Press and hold the SPL Indicator Select

* for three seconds. Release it

when the Program/SPL Indicator

2 stops

flashing and remains lit. Press the 
5 Button

H on the remote if your system is

configured for 5.1 operation with standard
speakers or when it is configured for 7.1 oper-
ation but the surround back speakers are not
in use with the surround mode currently
selected. Press the 7 Button

H on the

remote only if your system is configured for
6.1/7.1 operation with a full speaker comple-
ment including rear surround speakers and the
surround back speakers are in use with the
surround mode selected. Note that all speak-
ers currently in use always are indicated by the
Speaker/Channel Indicators

$ in the

front panel display. Once the correct channel
configuration button has been pressed the test
noise will be heard from the front left speaker.

6. At this point, EzSet will take over, adjusting

the output level of each channel so that when
the process is complete all levels will be equal
and at the set reference point. This process
may take a few minutes, depending on the
extent of adjustment required.

7. During the adjustment, you will see the loca-

tion of the channel position being adjusted
appear in the on-screen display (if connected)
and in the Main Information Display

˜,

alternating with a readout of the output set-
ting, relative to the reference volume level.
As the adjustment proceeds, a few things will
happen simultaneously:

• The channel position being adjusted will flash

in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators
$. If the test noise is heard from a channel
other than the one shown in the Indicator, the
on-screen display or the front panel display,
there is an error in the speaker connections.
If this is the case, press the Test Button

8

TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then, turn the
unit off and verify that all speakers are con-
nected to the proper Outputs

.

Afterwards start the adjusting process again
from the beginning.

• As the individual channels are set, the channel

name and the adjustment offset will appear in
the on-screen display (if connected) and the
Main Information Display

˜. While the

level is changing, the Program/SPL Indicator

2 will change colors to reflect the output
level in relation to the reference.
A red indication shows that the level is too
high, while an orange indication shows that
the level is too low. When the indicator is
green, the level is correct, and the test noise
will move to the next channel.

• While adjustments are being made, the red

LED under the AVR Selector

f will flash.

This is normal, and indicates that EzSet is oper-
ating.

8. After the test noise has circulated once

through each channel, it will send the tone to
each channel once again, to verify the settings.

9. After two complete circulations of the tone,

the levels are set. The Program/SPL
Indicator

2 will remain green at each

channel. Upon completion of the second circu-
lation, the Program/SPL Indicator

2 will

flash green twice and then go out. The tone
will stop and the AVR will return to normal
operation.

If you find that the output levels chosen by EzSet
are either much lower or much higher than the
"0dB" reference setting or even at the limits of
the +/-10dB variation range for the output levels,
depending on the sensitivity of the speakers in
use and your specific room layout, you may
repeat the procedure. Return to Step 2 and
adjust the master volume either higher or lower
appropriately to the output levels set previously
(e.g. when levels were set to about "–7dB"
reduce the master volume for 7dB), to accommo-
date your particular room layout and your speak-
ers. You may repeat this procedure as many times
as necessary to achieve a desired result. In order
to prevent possible damage to your hearing or
your equipment, we emphasize that you should
avoid setting the master volume above 0dB.

NOTE: The subwoofer output is not adjusted
when the test tone is in use. To adjust the
subwoofer output you must use an external
source, following the instructions on page 32.

24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Manual Output Level Adjustment
Output levels may also be adjusted manually,
either to set them to a specific level with an SPL
meter, or to make fine tuning adjustments to the
levels obtained using the EzSet remote.

Manual output level adjustment is most easily
done through the 

CHANNEL ADJUST

menu (Figure 9). If you are already at the main
menu, press the

D four times so that the on-

screen 

➞ cursor is next to the 

CHANNEL

ADJUST

line. Press the Set Button

F to

bring the 

CHANNEL ADJUST

menu (Figure

When the 

CHANNEL ADJUST

menu first

appears, the test tone is off. Use the

for adjustment using an external source, such as
a test disc, from which to judge the output levels.
After the 

➞ cursor is pointing to the channel to

be adjusted, press the 

‹

/

›

E& to raise or lower the output level.
However, before proceeding with any manual
adjustment we recommend that you first use the
AVR’s internal test tone generator and automatic
sequencer to send a tone to each channel so that
you may verify that all speaker connections have
been properly made.

To turn the test tone on and have it automatical-
ly circulate among the channels where a speaker
has previously been configured (see page 24),
press the 

⁄

/

¤

D until

the 

➞ cursor is pointing to the 

TEST TONE

SEQ

line on the menu. Next, press the

E& until 

AUTO

is

shown. Next, press the 

¤

D once so that the ➞ cursor is pointing to

TEST TONE

. Press the 

‹

/

›

E& once to immediately start the

test tone at the Front Left speaker. It will circulate
clockwise around the room, playing for two sec-
onds in each speaker before switching to the
next speaker position. The 

➞ cursor will blink

next to the active speaker to indicate which
speaker the sound should be coming from.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this test noise will
have a much lower level than normal music, the
volume must be lowered after the adjustment for

all channels is made, but BEFORE you return to
the main menu and the test tone turns off.

NOTE: Remember to verify that the speakers have
been properly connected. As the test noise circu-
lates, listen to make certain that the sound comes
from the speaker position shown in the Main
Information Display

˜. If the sound comes

from a speaker location that does NOT match the
position indicated in the display, turn the AVR off
using the Main Power Switch 

1 and check the

speaker wiring or connections to external power
amplifiers to make certain that each speaker is
connected to the correct output terminal.

After checking for speaker placement, let the test
noise circulate again, and listen to see which
channels sound louder than the others. Using the
front left speaker as a reference, press the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote to bring all

speakers to the same volume level. When one of
the 

‹

/

›

buttons is pushed, the test noise circula-

tion will pause on the channel being adjusted to
give you time to make the adjustment. When you
release the button, the circulation will resume
after five seconds. The on-screen cursor 

➞ and

the test noise can also be moved directly to the
speaker to be adjusted by pressing the 

⁄

/

¤

buttons 

D on the remote.

Continue to adjust the individual channels until
the volume level sounds the same from each
speaker. Note that adjustments should be made
with the 

‹

/

›

E& on the remote

only, NOT the main volume controls.

If you are using a sound-pressure level (SPL)
meter for precise level adjustment with the test
tone, open the main Volume Control 

) to -

15dB and set the individual output level for each
channel so that the meter reads 75dB, C-

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Output level adjust-
ment made will be effective for all inputs, but
only for the actual surround mode selected. To be
effective for any other mode select that mode
(with any input) and repeat the level adjustment
described above. This will also allow you to com-
pensate level differences between speakers, that
may be different with each surround mode, or to
increase or decrease the level of certain speakers
intentionally, depending on the surround mode
selected.

Note: Output level adjustment is not available
for the VMAx or Surround Off mode, as no
surround speakers are used (so level differences
between the speakers in the room cannot occur).
But to compensate level differences between
stereo, VMAx and other surround modes (inde-
pendently from the input selected) the outputs
can be adjusted with the Level Trim Adjustment
procedure, see page 32, also for the Surround Off
(Stereo) and VMAx modes.
