room. In the remote room, connect the interconnect cable to a stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the rooms speakers. At the AVR 335, plug the audio interconnect cables into the Multiroom Audio Output jacks on the AVR 335s rear panel. Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Output jacks on the AVR 335 to the inputs of an optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room. Option 3: Taking advantage of the AVR 335s built-in seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote room. When using this option you will not be able to use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the AVR 335 in the main listening room, but you will be able to add another listening room without additional external power amplifiers. To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote room location to the Surround Back/ Multiroom Speaker Outputs. Before using the remote room you will need to configure the amplifiers for surround operation by changing a setting in the MULTIROOM menu, following the instructions shown on page 35. NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR 335 via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensors cable to the Multiroom IR Input and use the Zone II remote to control the room volume. Alternatively, you may install an optional volume control between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers. See page 35 for more informatin on the multiroom system. AC Power Connections This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with high-current-draw equipment such as power amplifiers. The total power draw to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts. The Switched AC Accessory Outlet will receive power only when the unit is on. This is recommended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the ON position. NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command. The Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet. Once the AC Power Cord is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR 335!

System and Power Connections
The AVR 335 is designed for flexible use with multiroom systems, external control components and power amplifiers. Main Room Remote Control Extension If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input jack. If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this units sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote IR Output jack to the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment. Multiroom IR Link The remote room IR receiver should be connected to the AVR 335 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR connection cable into the Multiroom IR Input jack on the AVR 335s rear panel. If Harman Kardon-compatible source equipment is part of the main room installation, the Remote IR Output jack on the rear panel should be connected to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the remote room sensor to control that equipment. Multiroom Connections The AVR 335 is equipped with multizone capabilities that allow it to send a separate audio source to the remote zone from the one selected for use in the main room. Depending on your systems requirement, three options are available for audio connection: Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio interconnect cable from the AVR 335s location to the remote

or video projector.

Left Front Speaker

Center Front Speaker

Right Front Speaker

Speaker Placement
Depending on the type of center channel speaker in use and your viewing device, place the center speaker either directly above or below your TV, or in the center behind a perforated front projection screen. Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the front left and front right speakers so that they are as far away from one another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred listening position. Ideally, the front channel speakers should be placed so that their tweeters are no more than 24" above or below the tweeter in the center channel speaker. Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics and the type of speakers in use, you may find that imaging is improved by moving the left front and right front speakers slightly forward of the center channel speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening position. Using these guidelines, youll find that it takes some experimentation to find the correct location for the front speakers in your particular installation. Dont be afraid to move things around until the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio transitions across the front of the room sound smooth, and sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening position at the same time (without delay from the center speaker compared to the left and right speakers). When the AVR 335 is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. In a 7.1-channel system, both side surround and back surround speakers are required. The center of the speaker should face into the room.
No more than 6 feet when rear-mounted speakers are used

System Setup

Rear-Wall Mounting
B) Rear speaker mounting is an alternate location for 5.1 systems. It is required for 7.1 operation.
Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to program the AVR 335s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, calibrate the output levels, and set the delay times used by the surround sound processor. You are now ready to power up the AVR 335 to begin these final adjustments. 1. Make certain that the AC power cord is firmly inserted into an unswitched AC outlet. To maintain the units safety rating, DO NOT substitute the power cord for one with lower current capacity. 2. Press the Main Power Switch 1 in until it latches and the word OFF on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the Power Indicator 2 will turn amber, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode. 3. Remove the protective plastic film from the frontpanel lens. If left in place, the film will affect the performance of your remote control.

Figure 5

Step 6: After entering YES to start the EzSet+ system, you will next see a brief warning message, and the screen will then change to the main EzSet+ menu. The WARNING screen is a reminder that in order for the system to perform accurate measurements, it is important that the listening room be as quiet as possible. After 5 seconds, the screen will change again to display the main EzSet+ menu (Figure 6). IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at this point, or use ear protection sufficient to reduce the noise level. Inexpensive foam-style ear plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level. If you are uncomfortable with, or cannot tolerate, loud sounds and do not use some sort of ear protection, we strongly recommend that you leave the room and ask someone else to run the EzSet+ process, or that you do not use EzSet+ and enter the configuration settings manually, as described on pages 22 through 26. Step 7: The WARNING screen will automatically be replaced by the main EzSet+ menu (Figure 6). While this screen is visible, you may start and stop the calibration process, or monitor the progress of the measurements and view the results. When the screen first appears, you will see MEASUREMENT: STOP on the first line of the menu list. To start the EzSet+ test process, you must first tell the system how many speakers are in your system. To do that, choose one of these two options: If your system includes a full complement of seven main speakers (front left/center/front right/surround right/surround back right/surround back left/surround left) and a subwoofer, press the / Navigation Buttons o so that 7.1 appears to the right of MEASUREMENT, and then press the Set Button p to start EzSet+. If your system includes a traditional surround speaker complement of five main speakers (front left/center/
Automated Speaker Setup Using EzSet+
The AVR 335 is one of the first receivers in its class to offer automated speaker setup and system calibration. This process greatly simplifies the installation of your new receiver by using a series of test signals and the power of an advanced digital signal processing system to eliminate the need for manual adjustment of speaker size, crossover, delay and output level settings. With EzSet+ your new receiver even alerts you to errors in speaker connections that prevent a speaker from functioning.

When the CHANNEL ADJUST menu first appears the test tone is off. If desired, you may immediately use the / Navigation Button n to select any channel 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 / Navigation Button o to raise or lower the output level. However, before proceeding with any manual adjustment we recommend that you first use the AVRs 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. 4. To turn the test tone on and have it automatically circulate among the channels where a speaker has been configured (see page 22), press the / Navigation Button n until the cursor is pointing to the TEST TONE SEQ line on the menu. Next, press the / Navigation Button o until AUTO is shown in highlighted video. At this time the test tone will immediately begin to circulate clockwise around the room, playing for two seconds 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. As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the Lower Display Line T, next to the cursor in the on-screen display, and by the flashing indication in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators. If the sound from a speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the AVR 335 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. 5. After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which chan-
nels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the / Navigation Button o to bring all speakers to the same volume level. When the / Navigation Button o is pushed, the test noise circulation 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. 6. Continue to adjust the individual channels until the volume level sounds the same from each speaker. Adjustments should be made with the / Navigation Button n only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB on the CWeighting, Slow Scale. You may also make these same adjustments with complete manual control over the channel being adjusted by pressing the / Navigation Button n until the cursor is pointing to the TEST TONE SEQ line on the menu and then using the / Navigation Button o to select MANUAL in the highlighted video. In the MANUAL mode, the test tone will also start immediately, but the tone will only be moved to another channel by pressing the / Navigation Button o. When the manual sequencing mode is active, the tone is turned off by pressing the / Navigation Button o until the cursor is pointing to the TEST TONE line and the / Navigation Button o is then pressed to select OFF. NOTE: The subwoofer level is not adjustable when the normal test tone is in use. The subwoofer output level may also be adjusted when the channel levels are being trimmed to a program source rather than the test tone, as shown on page 32. When all channels have an equal volume level, the adjustment is complete. To exit this menu, press the / Buttons n until the on-screen cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, and then press the Set Button p to return to the MASTER MENU. Using the Semi-OSD System The output levels may also be adjusted at any time using the remote control and semi-OSD system. To adjust the output levels in this fashion, press the Test Button i. As soon as the button is pressed, the test tone will begin to circulate as indicated earlier. The correct channel from which the test noise should be heard will be shown in the lower third of the video screen and in the Lower Display Line. While the test noise is circulating, the proper channel position will also be indicated in the Speaker/ Channel Input Indicators by a blinking letter within the correct channel. To adjust the output level, press the / Buttons n until the desired level is shown in the display or on-screen. Once the buttons are released, the test noise will begin to circulate again in 5 seconds. When all channels have the same output level, press the Test Button i again to complete the process. If you find that the output levels are either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the procedure, but first adjust the master volume either slightly higher or lower (but not higher than 0dB) to compensate. Do not adjust the volume during the procedure, as that will cause the output levels to be higher or lower for only some channels, resulting in uneven balance. To make channel level adjustments to an external source, rather than using the AVR's internal test tone, simply press the Channel Select Button m, and each individual channel and its level offset will be displayed on-screen in the semi-OSD display. This is the equivalent of using the CHANNEL ADJUST menu with the test tone set to OFF. NOTE: Output level adjustment is not available for the VMAx or Surround Off modes. Additional Input Adjustments After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type and output levels, go back to the INPUT SETUP line on the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type, crossover frequency, Night mode and output level settings will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input. When all settings and adjustments have been made, press the OSD Button v to return to normal operation of the AVR. Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR 335 is ready for operation. While there are some additional settings to be made, these are best done after you have had an opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and different kinds of program material. These advanced settings are described on pages 33 and 34. In addition, any of the settings made in the initial configuration of the unit may be changed at any time. As you add new or different sources or speakers, or if you wish to change a setting to better reflect your listening taste, simply follow the instructions for changing the settings for that parameter as shown in this section. Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR 335, you are about to experience the finest in music and home theater listening. Enjoy!

To select a source, press any of the Input Selector Buttons eg on the remote. The input source may also be changed by pressing the front-panel Input Source Selector Button ^. Each press of the button will move the input selection through the list of available inputs. As the input is changed, the AVR 335 will automatically switch to the digital input (if selected), surround mode, speaker configuration, output levels, crossover frequency and night mode status that were entered during the configuration process for that source. The front-panel Video 4 Inputs , Optical 3 Digital Input * or the Coaxial 3 Digital Input ( may be used to connect a device such as a video game or camcorder to your home entertainment system on a temporary basis.

To make that change, first call up the menu system by pressing the OSD Button v to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Next, press the Button n until the cursor is next to the MULTIROOM line. Press the Set Button p to enter the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 14). To change the setting so that the Surround Back amplifiers are fed by the source selected through the Multiroom system, press the / Buttons o so that MR SP appears; then press the Set Button p. Remember that once this setting is made, you will not be able to take advantage of any of the 6.1/7.1channel decoding or processing modes, and that the speakers used for the remote zone must be connected to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs. The volume for these speakers is set by the multiroom system. Once this setting is made, you may press the Button n to make any of the other adjustments available on this menu. If no other adjustments are needed, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system. When all settings for the multiroom setup have been made, press the / Buttons n until the on-screen cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system.
the selected source may be fed to optional, external power amplifiers that may be matched to the specifics of the installation.
I When the main room system is configured for 5.1
operation, the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels may be used to power the remote zone so that no additional amplifiers are required. In addition, the AVR 335 includes a remote IR sensor input so that remote control commands from the Zone II remote included with the unit may be transmitted to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks allow the remote zones commands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled source devices.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the units operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the systems 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 units operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem.
To clear the AVR 335s entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, press and hold the Tone Mode Button 5 buttons for three seconds. The unit will turn on automatically. NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes and digital input assignments, as well as the tuner presets. The unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered.
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 center.
