NOTE: This Owner's Manual explains the advanced functions of the harman/kardon AVR 460/AVR 360 receivers. It also contains note sheets for your personal use when setting up and adjusting your unit. Please read and use the Basic Manual that came with your unit before continuing with this Advanced Manual.
For any incoming signal, only a limited number of surround modes are available. Although there is never a time when all of the AVR 460/AVR 360’s surround modes are available, there is usually a wide variety of modes available for a given input.
The first number indicates the number of front channels in the signal: “1” represents a monophonic recording, usually an older program that has been digitally remastered or, more rarely, a modern program for which the director has chosen a special effect. “2”...
ADVANCED FuNCTIONS manuaL SpeaKer Setup The AVR 460/AVR 360 is flexible and may be configured for most speakers, and to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your room. The EzSet/EQ process automatically detects the capabilities of each speaker, and optimizes the AVR 460/AVR 360’s performance. If you are unable to run EzSet/EQ calibration, or if you wish to make further adjustments, use the Manual Speaker Setup on-screen menus.
The main room will be configured automatically for up to 5.1 channels. See the Multizone Operation section for more information. NOTE: When the Surround Back speakers are set to “Zone 2”, they will not be configured during the EzSet/EQ process. To use the speakers in the main listening area, configure them as “On”, and run the EzSet/EQ process for a 7.1-channel system.
Reset Levels: To reset all levels to their factory defaults of 0dB, scroll down to this line at the bottom of the menu and press the OK Button. To set your levels using the AVR 460/AVR 360’s internal test tone, adjust the TEST TONE line as follows: Test Tone: Determines whether the test tone is active.
VIDeo aDjuStmentS The AVR 460/AVR 360 uses leading-edge Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing technology. Incoming video may be upscaled up to 1080p (1080i with component video outputs) for outstanding video quality, even with analog video sources. The Faroudja DCDi Cinema Dual 3D comb filters and 10-bit video processing eliminate the jagged edges and moiré...
Contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer with the sharpness backed off from the maximum setting. Reduce the sharpness setting on your television, and the setting on the AVR 460/AVR 360, if necessary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines between the bars in...
Zone 2. SyStem SettInGS The AVR 460/AVR 360 offers system settings for ease of use. These settings may be accessed from the System Settings menu, which is selected by pressing the Setup Button and navigating to the System line. Press the OK Button to display the System Settings menu.
The AVR 460/AVR 360 remote control also serves as a universal remote that may be programmed to operate other components. Refer to the Function List (Table A13 in the appendix) for assistance in operating your other components.
After a reset, reenter all of these settings from your notes in the appendix worksheets. To reset the AVR 460/AVR 360, place it in Standby mode (press the front- panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber). Then press and hold the front-panel OK Button for at least 5 seconds until the RESET message appears.
