INTRODUCTION Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon ® With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR 635, you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The AVR 635 has a wide range of features and options that accommodate virtually any combination of speakers, room size and program sources. It is as easy to operate as it is to set up, but in order to take maximum advantage of the many advanced technologies within your new AVR, it is strongly recommended that you take a few minutes to read this owners manual. If you have any questions about this product, its instal lation or its operation, we recommend that you contact your dealer or installer, as they are your best source of local information. You may also access a wealth of information and assistance by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com. Description and Features The AVR 635 is designed to serve as the hub of your home entertainment system, combining the flexibility to access the wide range of audio and video source options available today with the power to handle virtu ally any type of program material or surround mode. Thanks to a state of the art DA610 digital signal processor from Texas Instruments, the AVR 635 offers precision decoding of all currently available technolo gies from Dolby Laboratories and DTS ®.In addition, older analog and two channel program sources benefit from the latest version of Harman Internationals Logic 7 ®processing which creates a wider,more enveloping sound field with more defined channel positioning and the ability to create 7.1 sound fieldsfrom 5.1 sources. Additional processing and decoding options include MP3 (when connected to a compatible computer) and HDCD ®for enhanced CD playback as well as Dolby* Virtual speaker and Dolby Headphoneprocessing. An important addition to the AVR 635s impressive list of features is EzSet/EQ , ™which automates the configu ration process to make it quicker, easier and more precise. Using the special microphone supplied with the unit, EzSet/EQ takes the guesswork out of entering speaker size and crossover information, delay times for all channels and output levels. In addition to the configuration settings, EzSet/EQ also includes room equalization so that the signals sent to each speakerare tailored to provide accurate sonic quality with yourspecific combination of speaker type,room size and other factors that influence room acoustics. WithEzSet/EQ, your system is custom configured in a few minutes with accuracy that previously required expen sive and hard to use test equipment. In tandem with EzSet/EQ, the AVR 635 includes a full set of manual configuration settings for those who wish to custom trim their system even further. A Quadruple Crossover bass management system makes it possible to enter different crossover settings for each speaker group. Video connections and system integration is a snap with the AVR 635, thanks to format cross conversionwhich allows any video input to be output as a high quality component signal,complete with the AVRs on screen menus. For those sources already in com ponent form, three assignable, wide bandwidth inputs are available, and the Video inputs are renameable. To further enhance the viewing experience with digital sources or displays, the AVR 635s A/V Sync Delayfeature allows you to compensate for the loss of lip sync due to digital video delays individually for each input. Full carrier IR outputs, a bi directional RS 232 port and a learning remote with a two line display are among the many other features that make the AVR 635s power simple to use. The AVR 635s multizone options and a standard Zone II remote control make it possible to listen to a separate source in a room while the main home theater uses a different source.With assignable rear surround channel amplifiers, you may create a basic remote listening zone without any additional equip ment. For one wire multiroom connectivity, the AVR 635 is A BUS Ready, ®requiring only a single Category 5/5e cable and an optional remote module to power remote speakers while controlling volumeand enabling full control over the program source and compatible IR controlled devices. The units Multiroom outputs may also be used to feed an optional, externalpower amplifier and volume control. The AVR 635s seven channel amplifier is our time honored high current, ultrawide bandwidth design with the power to reproduce the loudest crescendos orcinema sound effects while remaining virtually free from distortion or system noise. Combining state of the art circuitry, digital technology and proven performance with an elegant design that iscompatible with the latest source components and video displays, the AVR 635 represents the culmina tion of Harman Kardons fifty year history of delivering the finest sonic performance. All popular digital and matrix surround modes, including Dolby* Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic* IIx, DTS, ®DTS ES ®Discrete and Matrix, DTS Neo:6 ®and DTS 96/24 Seven channels of high current, ultrawide bandwidth amplification with the surround back channels assignable to either main room or remote room use Harman Kardons exclusive Logic 7 ®processing, along with Dolby Virtual Speaker processing for use when only two speakers are available Dolby Headphone to create spacious, open sound fields when using headphones HDCD ®decoding for enhanced CD playback, and MP3 decoding for use with compatible computers Precision video cross conversion circuitry out puts any video input on the component out puts, complete with on screen system menus High bandwidth, HDTV compatible component video inputs may be assigned to any video input Harman Kardons advanced EzSet/EQ ™auto matically configures speaker settings and sets room equalization for quick, easy and accu rate system setup Full bass management for all inputs, including the analog direct inputs for DVD Audio andSACD players,including Quadruple Crossover and individual settings for each input A/V Sync delay adjustable for each input delivers perfect lip sync with digital programsor video displays Front panel digital audio and analog audio/video jacks may be used as eitherinputs or outputs for connection to portable products or video game consoles Extensive Multiroom options,including a standard Zone II remote, assignable rear channel amplifier channels and A BUS Ready ® capability for listening to a separate source in a remote zone INTRODUCTION 3 ®, HDCD ®, High Definition Compatible Digital ®and Pacific Microsonics ™are either registered trademarks or trademarks of Pacific Microsonics, Inc., in the United States and/or other countries.
