output of 6-channel direct inputs.

tain that you are aware of the copyright

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the

AVR5 is established using the Test Tone,

as outlined on page 16. In some cases,

however, it may be desirable to adjust the

output levels using program material

such as a test disc, or a selection you are

familiar with. Additionally, the output

level for the subwoofer may only be

adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using pro-

gram material, first select the Pro Logic

mode using the

Pro Logic Selector

*

on the front panel or the

Surround/

Channel

buttons

on the remote. Next

set the reference volume for the front

left/right channels using the

Volume

Control

Úμ

. If you wish

to vary the difference between the left

and right channels, use the

Balance

Control

9

.

Once the reference level has been set,

press the

Channel Select

button

ı

:

and note that

F LT 0

will appear

in the

Information Display

¯

. To

change the level, first press the

Set

but-

ton

Û}

within five seconds, and

then use the

Selector

buttons

˜

or the

‹

/

›

buttons

{

to raise or lower the

level. DO NOT use the volume control, as

this will alter the reference setting.

Once the change has been made, press

the

Set

button

Û}

and then press

the

Channel Select

button

ı:

to

select the next output channel location

that you wish to adjust. To adjust the sub-

woofer level, press the

Channel Select

button

ı:

until

SUBW

appears in

the

Information Display

¯

.

Repeat the procedure as needed until all

channels requiring adjustment have

been set. When all adjustments have

been made, the AVR5 will return to nor-

mal operation when no adjustments are

made for five seconds.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory

backup system that preserves tuner pre-

sets and system configuration informa-

tion if the unit is accidentally unplugged

or subject to a power outage.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s opera-

tion or the displays seem abnormal, the

cause may involve the erratic operation of

the system’s memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the

unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at

least three minutes. After the pause,

reconnect the AC power cord and check

the unit’s operation. If the system still

malfunctions, a system reset may clear

the problem.

If the system still does not respond, it

may be necessary to perform a complete

reset. To reset the system, first turn the

AVR5 off by pressing the

Main Power

Switch

1

and then releasing it so that

it extends out beyond the front panel and

the word “OFF” is visible in red lettering

at the top of the switch.

Next, press and hold the

T•Mon

and

CD

Input Selector

buttons

!

on the front

panel ONLY. While holding these buttons

in, press the

Main Power Switch

1

in

until it latches so that the button is flush

with the front panel.

The Information Display will briefly

show the word

RESET

, and then return

to normal operation.

Note that when the system is reset in this

fashion, all tuner presets and other con-

figuration information such as center

channel speaker type and output levels

will be lost and must be re-entered.

If the system is still operating incorrectly,

there may have been an electronic

discharge or severe AC line interference

that has corrupted the memory or

microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem,

consult an authorized Harman Kardon

service depot.
