While complex digital systems are hard at work
within the AVR 7000 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed
connections, a backlit, programmable remote
control, and on-screen menus make the AVR
7000 easy to use. To obtain the maximum
enjoyment from your new receiver, we urge you
to take the time to read through this manual.
This will ensure that connections to speakers,
source playback units and other external
devices are made properly. In addition, a few
minutes spent learning the functions of the vari-
ous controls will enable you to take advantage
of all the power the AVR 7000 is able to deliver.

Description and Features
The AVR 7000 is among the most versatile and
multi-featured A/V receivers available, incorpo-
rating a wide range of listening options. In addi-
tion to Dolby Digital and DTS decoding for digi-
tal sources, a broad choice of analog surround
modes are available for use with sources such as
CD, VCR, TV broadcasts and the AVR’s own
FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic*,Dolby
3 Stereo and custom Hall and Theater modes,
only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7

No matter how sophisticated your system com-
ponents, the AVR 7000 is able to accommodate
them. In addition to five A/V-inputs with audio,
composite video and S-Video, the AVR 7000 fea-
tures two component video inputs to ensure the
utmost in picture quality. Audio is accommodat-
ed by two additional audio-only inputs, four digi-
tal audio inputs and two digital audio outputs. A
separate six-channel direct input is also available
to ensure compatibility with future audio sys-
tems.

Despite the wide range of inputs available,
selecting between them is simple, using a backlit
remote control that operates the AVR and up to
seven additional devices. Codes may be pro-
grammed into the remote either from an exten-
sive internal database or via a learning method.

The AVR 7000’s flexibility and power extend
beyond your main home theater or listening
room. The AVR includes a sophisticated multi-
zone control system that allows you to select
one source for use in the main room and a dif-
ferent one in a second room. Both composite
video and S-Video, as well as audio, are routed
to the remote room location, with complete con-
trol over volume provided by a separate infrared
control link. To make it easy to operate the AVR
7000 from a remote room, a separate Zone II
remote is included.

Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediate-
ly with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as
they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid
spraying insecticide near the unit.

and packing materials for use in shipping if you
move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care-
fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and
collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts
