Introduction  
Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!  
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon  
AVR5000 you are about to begin many years of  
listening enjoyment. The AVR5000 has been cus-  
tom designed to provide all the excitement and  
detail of movie sound tracks and every nuance  
of musical selections. With onboard Dolby*  
Digital and DTSdecoding, the AVR5000 delivers  
six discrete channels of audio that take advan-  
tage of the digital sound tracks from the latest  
DVD and LD releases and Digital Television  
broadcasts.  
Finally, the AVR5000 is among the very few A/V  
receivers that offer decoding of MP3 data, so  
that you may listen to the latest music selections  
directly from compatible computers or playback  
devices with the power and fidelity you expect  
from Harman Kardon.  
Another Harman Kardon exclusive is VMAx,  
which uses proprietary processing to create an  
open, spacious sound field even when only two  
front speakers are available.  
The AVR5000’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. Left and right front  
channel audio is routed to the remote room  
location, with complete control over volume pro-  
vided by a separate infrared control link. To  
make it easy to operate the AVR 5000 from a  
remote room, a separate Zone II remote is  
included.  
The AVR 5000 is also able to offer HDCD®  
decoding to provide the most realistic playback  
of CDs when a digital connection is used, even  
with a normal non-HDCD-compatible CD or DVD  
player.  
While complex digital systems are hard at work  
within the AVR5000 to make all of this happen,  
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed  
connections, a backlit, programmable and learn-  
ing remote control, and on-screen menus make  
the AVR5000 easy to use. To obtain the maxi-  
mum 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 exter-  
nal devices are made properly. In addition, a  
few minutes spent learning the functions of the  
various controls will enable you to take advan-  
tage of all the power the AVR5000 is able to  
deliver.  
The AVR5000’s powerful amplifier uses  
traditional Harman Kardon high-current design  
technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of  
any program selection.  
In addition to providing a wide range of listening  
options, the AVR5000 is easy to configure so  
that it provides the best results with your speak-  
ers and specific listening-room environment.  
On-screen menus make it simple to enter set-  
tings for speakers, inputs and delay times, while  
our exclusive EzSet™ remote measures a sys-  
tem‘s sound levels and automatically calibrates  
them for perfectly balanced soundfield presenta-  
tion.  
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv-  
er more than forty-seven years ago. With state-  
of-the-art circuitry and time-honored circuit  
designs, the AVR5000 is one of the finest  
receivers ever offered by Harman Kardon.

Decoding Using Crystal® Chip  
Technology  
I Harman Kardon’s Exclusive Logic 7 and  
VMAx Modes  
For the ultimate in flexibility, the AVR5000 fea-  
tures connections for five video devices, all with  
both composite and S-Video inputs. Two addi-  
tional audio inputs are available, and a total of  
six digital inputs make the AVR5000 capable of  
handling all the latest digital audio sources.  
For compatibility with the latest DVD players and  
digital video products, the AVR5000 also fea-  
tures component video switching. Coax and  
optical digital outputs are available for direct  
connection to digital recorders, and both the  
front panel analog audio/video and the coaxial  
digital jacks may be switched to an output for  
use with portable recorders – a Harman Kardon  
exclusive. Two video recording outputs, preamp-  
out/main-in jacks, and a six channel input make  
the AVR5000 virtually future-proof, with every-  
thing needed to accommodate tomorrow’s new  
formats right on board.  
If you have any questions about this product, its  
installation or its operation, please contact your  
dealer. He is your best local source of informa-  
tion.

Description and Features  
The AVR5000 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, 5 Ch Stereo and custom Hall and  
Theater modes, only Harman Kardon receivers  
offer Logic 7® to create a wider, more enveloping  
field environment and more defined fly-overs  
and pans.

Safety Information  
Installation Location  
Important Safety Information  
Unpacking  
I To assure proper operation and to avoid the  
potential for safety hazards, place the unit on  
a firm and level surface. When placing the  
unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and  
any mounting hardware can support the  
weight of the product.  
Verify Line Voltage Before Use  
The carton and shipping materials used to  
protect your new receiver during shipment were  
specially designed to cushion it from shock and  
vibration. We suggest that you save the carton  
and packing materials for use in shipping if you  
move, or should the unit ever need repair.  
Your AVR5000 has been designed for use with  
220-240-Volt AC current. Connection to a line  
voltage other than that for which it is intended  
can create a safety and fire hazard and may  
damage the unit.  
I Make certain that proper space is provided  
both above and below the unit for ventilation.  
If this product will be installed in a cabinet or  
other enclosed area, make certain that there  
is sufficient air movement within the cabinet.  
Under some circumstances a fan may be  
required.  
If you have any questions about the voltage  
requirements for your specific model, or about  
the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer  
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.  
To minimize the size of the carton in storage,  
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by  
carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom  
and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard  
inserts may be stored in the same manner.  
Packing materials that cannot be collapsed  
should be saved along with the carton in a  
plastic bag.  
Do Not Use Extension Cords  
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord  
attached to your unit. We do not recommend  
that extension cords be used with this product.  
As with all electrical devices, do not run power  
cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy  
objects on them. Damaged power cords should  
be replaced immediately by an authorized  
service depot with a cord meeting factory  
specifications.  
I Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted  
surface.  
If you do not wish to save the packaging  
materials, please note that the carton and other  
sections of the shipping protection are  
recyclable. Please respect the environment and  
discard those materials at a local recycling  
center.  
I Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold  
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct  
sunlight or heating equipment.  
I Avoid moist or humid locations.  
I Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the  
top of the unit, or place objects directly over  
them.  
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently  
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC  
outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.  
If you do not intend to use the unit for any con-  
siderable length of time, disconnect the plug  
from the AC outlet.  
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  
immediately 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.  
Do Not Open the Cabinet  
There are no user-serviceable components inside  
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a  
shock hazard, and any modification to the  
product will void your guarantee. If water or any  
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a  
staple accidentally falls inside the unit,  
disconnect it from the AC power source  
immediately, and consult an authorized service  
station.  
Moving the Unit  
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect  
any interconnection cords with other  
components, and make certain that you  
disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

Installation and Connections  
After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid  
surface capable of supporting its weight, you will  
need to make the connections to your audio and  
video equipment.

er outputs to the respective speakers.  
nected to one or more subwoofer speakers. If  
you are using a powered subwoofer that does  
not have line-level input connections, follow the  
instructions furnished with the speaker for con-  
nection information.  
E
To assure that all the audio signals are carried to  
your speakers without loss of clarity or resolu-  
tion, we suggest that you use high-quality  
speaker cable. Many brands of cable are avail-  
able and the choice of cable may be influenced  
by the distance between your speakers and the  
receiver, the type of speakers you use, personal  
preferences and other factors. Your dealer or  
installer is a valuable resource to consult in  
selecting the proper cable.  
Audio Equipment Connections

a passive subwoofer must be connected to the

connect cables when making connections to  
source equipment and recorders to preserve the  
integrity of the signals.

Subwoofer Output  
B.  
Video Equipment Connections  
When making connections to audio source  
equipment or speakers it is always a good prac-  
tice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet.  
This prevents any possibility of accidentally send-  
ing audio or transient signals to the speakers  
that may damage them.  
Video equipment is connected in the same man-  
ner as audio components. Again, the use of high-  
quality interconnect cables is recommended to  
preserve signal quality. To ensure best video per-  
formance S-Video sources should be connected  
to the AVR5000 only with their S-Video In/  
Outputs, not with their composite video connec-  
tors too.  
Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we  
recommend that you use a cable constructed of  
fine, multistrand copper with an area greater  
than 2 mm2.  
Cable with an area of 1.5 mm2 may be used for  
short runs of less than 4 m. We do not recom-  
mend that you use cables with an area less than  
1mm2 due to the power loss and degradation in  
performance that will occur.  
1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to  
the CD inputs  
7.  
NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and  
variable audio outputs it is best to use the fixed  
output unless you find that the input to the  
receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so  
high that the signal is distorted.  
1. Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out  
jacks to the Video 1 or Video 2 In jacks  
2OQV on the rear panel. The Audio and  
Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be con-  
nected to the Video 1 or Video 2 Out jacks  
4MPW on the AVR5000.  
Cables that are run inside walls should have the  
appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL,  
CSA or other appropriate testing agency stan-  
dards. Questions about running cables inside  
walls should be referred to your installer or a  
licensed electrical contractor who is familiar with  
the applicable local building codes in your area.

should be connected to like terminals on the  
AVR5000 and speaker.

flow directions as shown in the diagrams above  
and in the instruction attached to the adapter. If  
uncertain, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer.  
For the connections described above your video  
device needs RCA (cinch) connectors or/and S-  
Video connectors for all Audio and Video signals:  
Any normal video device (Not SVHS or High 8)  
for only playback needs 3 RCA jacks, VCRs for  
record and playback even 6 RCA jacks. Any S-  
Video device (SVHS, High 8) needs 2 RCA

playback unit, or 4 RCA (Audio In/Out) and  
2 S-Video (Video In/Out) jacks, if it´s a recording

component video inputs of your TV, projector or  
display device.  
Video Connection Notes:  
• Y/Pr/Pb Component, S-Video or Composite  
video signals may only be viewed in their  
native formats and will not be converted to  
the other formats. But the OSD can be viewed  
on the TV screen in any case, with Video or  
S-Video input selected on the TV.  
• When the component video jacks are used,  
the on-screen menus will not be visible. You  
must switch to the standard composite or  
S-Video input on your TV to view those menus.  
• The AVR 5000’s component video system is  
designed for standard video rate video from  
DVD players and similar devices. While it may  
operate with high definition signals, the video  
quality may be slightly less than with a direct  
connection between the DVD and your TV.  
• All component inputs/outputs can be used for  
RGB signals too, in the same way as described  
for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the  
jacks with the corresponding color.  
Many european video devices are equipped with  
RCA (Cinch) or S-Video jacks only partially, not  
for all audio and video in/outputs needed as  
described above, but with a so called Scart or  
Euro-AV connector (almost rectangular jack with  
21 pins, see drawings on next page).  
Important Notes for S-Video connections:  
1. Only the S-Video In/Out of S-Video devices  
must be connected to the AVR, NOT both, nor-  
mal video and S-Video In/Outputs (except the TV,  
see item below).  
In that case the following Scart to Cinch  
adapters or cables are needed:  
2. Like most common AV units the AVR5000  
does not convert the Video signal to S-Video or  
vice versa. Thus both connections must be made  
from the AVR5000 to the TV if both, Video and  
S-Video sources, are used, and the appropriate  
input on the TV must be selected.  
• Units for playback, such as satellite receivers,  
camcorders, DVD or LD players, need an  
adapter from Scart to 3 RCA plugs, see fig. 1  
(normal video devices) or from Scart to 2  
RCA+1 S-Video plugs, see fig. 4 (S-Video  
devices).  
But this is only true as long as only the three  
RGB lines are used and not any sync signal is  
output separately from the source.  
• HiFi VCRs need an adapter from Scart to 6  
RCA plugs, see fig. 2 (normal video), or from  
Scart to 4 Audio+2S-Video jacks, see fig. 5  
(S-Video VCR). Read carefully the instruction  
attached to the adapter to find which of the  
six plugs is used for the record signal to the  
VCR (connect with the AVR´s Out jacks) and  
for the playback signal from the VCR (connect  
with the AVR´s In jacks). Do not misconnect  
Audio and Video signals. Don´t hesitate to  
consult your dealer, if you are uncertain.  
• If you use only normal video devices the TV  
monitor needs an adapter from 3 RCA plugs  
to Scart (fig. 3) only. If also S-Video devices are  
used an adapter from 2 RCA+1S-Video plugs  
to Scart is needed additionally (fig. 6),  
connected to the SCART input on your TV that  
is provided for S-Video.  
Note that only the video plugs (the "yellow"  
cinch plug in fig. 3 and the S-Video plug in fig.  
6) must be connected to the TV Monitor

These jacks may also be used for connections to  
devices such as DVD players or High Definition  
Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature  
built-in digital surround decoders. Although the  
digital decoding system in the AVR5000 will typi-  
cally provide audio performance that is superior to  
other decoders, you may use these jacks to provide  
an additional 6-channel input for connection to a  
DVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoder  
and discrete 6-channel analog outputs.  
NOTE: All remotely controlled components must  
be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the  
IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next  
to establish this chain.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside walls  
should carry any certification that is required by  
the local building and electrical codes. To avoid  
interference, audio and speaker cables should not  
be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path  
with, AC cables. If you have any questions about  
multiroom wiring, consult your dealer, custom  
installer or low-voltage electrical contractor.  
Multiroom IR Link  
The key to remote room operation is to link the  
remote room to the AVR5000’s location with  
wire for an infrared receiver and speakers or an  
amplifier. The remote room IR receiver (this can be  
an optional IR receiver or any other remotable  
Harman Kardon device in the remote room with

System Configuration  
Center Front Speaker  
When all audio, video and system connections  
have been made, there are a few configuration  
adjustments that must be made. A few minutes  
spent to correctly configure and calibrate the  
unit will greatly add to your listening experience.  
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  
front-left and front-right 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.  
No more than  
60cm

Speaker  
No matter which type or brand of speakers is  
used, the same model or brand of speaker  
should be used for the front-left, center and  
front-right speakers. This creates a seamless  
front soundstage and eliminates the possibility  
of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when  
a sound moves across mismatched front-channel  
speakers.  
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes  
some experimentation to find the correct  
location for the front speakers in your particular  
installation. Don’t 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.

Speaker  
Left Front  
Speaker  
Right Front  
Speaker  
Surround speakers should be placed on the side  
walls of the room, at or slightly behind the  
listening position. The center of the speaker  
should face you.  
Speaker Placement  
The placement of speakers in a multichannel  
home-theater system can have a noticeable  
impact on the quality of sound reproduced.  
If side-wall mounting is not practical, the  
speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind  
the listening position. The speakers should be no  
more than two meters behind the rear of the  
seating area.  
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.  
Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional  
sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere  
in a room. Actual placement should be based on  
room size and shape and the type of subwoofer  
used. One method of finding the optimal  
location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it  
in the front of the room, about 15cm from a  
wall, or near the front corner of the room.  
Another method is to temporarily place the  
subwoofer in the spot where you will normally  
sit, and then walk around the room until you  
find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best.  
Place the subwoofer in that spot. You should  
also follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s  
manufacturer, or you may wish to experiment  
with the best location for a subwoofer in your  
listening room.  
Once the center-channel speaker is installed,  
position the left-front and right-front 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 60cm above or below the  
tweeter in the center-channel speaker.  
Optional Rear-Wall Mounting  
B) The distance between the left and right  
speakers should be equal to the distance from  
the seating position to the viewing screen.  
You may also experiment with placing the left  
and right speakers slightly forward of the center  
speaker.  
They should also be at least 0.5 meter from your  
TV set unless the speakers are magnetically  
shielded to avoid colourings on the TV screen.  
Note that most speakers are not shielded, even  
with complete surround sets only the Center  
speaker may be.

room and connected, the remaining steps are to  
program the system configuration memories.  
With the AVR5000 two kind of memories are  
used, those associated individually with the  
input selected, e.g. surround modes, and others  
working independently from any input selected  
like speaker output levels, crossover frequencies  
or delay times used by the surround sound  
processor.  
The AVR5000 features an advanced memory sys-  
tem that enables you to establish different con-  
figurations for the speaker configuration, digital  
input and surround mode for each input source.  
This flexibility enables you to custom tailor the  
way in which you listen to each source and have  
the AVR5000 memorize them. This means, for  
example, that you may associate different sur-  
round modes and analog or digital inputs with  
different sources, or set different speaker config-  
urations with the resultant changes to the bass  
management system. Once these settings are  
made, they will automatically be recalled when-  
ever you select an input.  
The AVR5000 has two on-screen display modes,  
“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making con-  
figuration adjustments, it is recommended that  
the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place a  
complete status report or option listing on the  
screen, making it easier to view the available  
options and make the settings on the screen. The  
Semi-OSD mode uses one-line displays only.  
You are now ready to power up the AVR5000 to  
begin these final adjustments.  
1. Plug the Power Cable

into an un-  
Note that when the full OSD system is in use,  
the menu selections are not shown in the

The default settings for the AVR5000, as it is  
shipped from the factory, have all inputs set for  
an analog source, with stereo as the surround  
mode, the front left and right speakers set to  
“large” (with surround modes other speakers to  
”small”), and a subwoofer connected. Before  
using the unit, you will probably want to change  
these settings for most inputs so that they are  
properly configured to reflect the use of digital  
or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed  
and the surround mode specifics. Remember,  
since the AVR5000’s memory system keeps the  
settings for each input separate from the other  
inputs, you will need to make these adjustments  
for each input used. However, once they are  
made, further adjustment is only required when  
system components are changed.

individual menus. Note that the menus will  
remain on the screen for 20 seconds after the  
latest action was made on the screen menu,  
then they will “time-out” and disappear from  
the screen. The time-out may be increased to as  
much as 50 seconds by going to the  
To make this process as quick and as easy as  
possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD  
system with the on-screen menus, and step  
through each input. Once you have completed  
the settings for the first input, many settings  
may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. It is  
also a good idea to set the configuration data in  
the order these items are listed in the Main  
Audio Setup Menu, as some settings require a  
specific entry in a prior menu item.  
4. Turn the AVR5000 on either by pressing the  
System Power Control  
Source Selector on the front panel, or via  
the remote by pressing the AVR Selector  
or any of the Input Selectors 46on the  
remote. The Power Indicator will turn green

System Configuration  
Speaker Setup  
When SMALLis selected, low frequency front  
channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer  
output. Note that if you choose this option and  
there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear  
any low frequency sounds from the front channels.  
and, except with Hall and Theater modes, NO  
surround channel bass will be sent to the sub-  
woofer output.  
This menu tells the AVR5000 which type of  
speakers are in use. This is important as it  
adjusts the settings that determine which speak-  
ers receive low frequency (bass) information. For  
each of these settings use the LARGEsetting  
if the speakers for a particular position are tradi-  
tional full-range loudspeakers that are capable  
of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the  
SMALLsetting for smaller, frequency-limited  
satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds  
below 100Hz. Note that when “small” front (left  
and right) speakers are used, a subwoofer is  
required to reproduce low frequency sounds. If  
you are in doubt as to which category describes  
your speakers, consult the specifications in the  
speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.  
Remember that the speaker setup must be made  
individually for each input of the AVR5000.  
When NONEis selected, surround sound infor-  
mation will be split between the front-left and  
front-right outputs. Note that for optimal per-  
formance when no surround speakers are in use,  
the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used instead  
of Dolby Pro Logic.  
When LARGEis selected, a full-range output  
will be sent to the front left and front right out-  
puts. Depending on the choice made in the

or 60Hzto match the typical crossover points  
of full range speakers. Choose the option that is  
closest to your speakers’ design.  
Important Note: Once the delay time is set

inputs too. Moreover the surround delay time  
setting must be made only for either the Dolby  
Pro Logic or the Dolby Digital mode. The other  
setting will be set automatically.

As an example, in Figure 6 below, the left front  
and right front speakers are set for “large,” the  
center, left surround and right surround speakers  
are set for small, and a subwoofer is set.  
Due the different distances between the listening  
position for the front channel speakers and the  
surround speakers, the amount of time it takes  
for sound to reach your ears from the front or

Output Level Adjustment  
Output level adjustment is a key part of the con-  
figuration process for any surround sound prod-  
uct. It is particularly important for a Dolby Digital  
receiver such as the AVR5000, as correct outputs  
will ensure that you hear sound tracks with the  
proper directionality and intensity.

If the distances are equal, no further adjustment  
is required and the center delay should be set to  
zero. If the distance to the front speakers is  
greater than the distance to the center speaker,  
you may wish to reposition the speakers by mov-  
ing the front left and front right speakers closer  
to the listening position or the center speaker  
further away from the listening position.

NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the  
operation of the surround channels. While some  
assume that sound should always be coming  
from each speaker, most of the time there will  
be little or no sound in the surround channels.  
This is because they are only used when a  
movie director or sound mixer specifically places  
sound there to create ambiance, a special effect  
or to continue action from the front of the room  
to the rear. When the output levels are properly  
set it is normal for surround speakers to oper-  
ate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the  
volume to the rear speakers may destroy the  
illusion of an enveloping sound field that dupli-  
cates the way you hear sound in a movie the-  
ater or concert hall.  
Y.  
Night Mode Settings  
The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that  
uses special processing to preserve the dynamic  
range and full intelligibility of a movie sound  
track while reducing the peak level. This prevents  
abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others,  
without reducing the sonic impact of a digital  
source. Note that the Night mode is only avail-  
able when Dolby Digital signals are played.  
If repositioning of the speakers is not possible,  
adjust the center delay time, adding one milli-  
second of center channel delay for every 30 cm  
closer to the listening position the center speak-  
er is than the front speakers. For example, if the  
front left and front right speakers are each 3 m  
from the listening position and the center chan-  
nel speaker is 2.4 m away, the delay is figured as  
300 cm –240 cm=60 cm, suggesting an optimal  
center delay of 2 milliseconds.  
To adjust the Night mode setting from the  
menu, make certain that the cursor is on the  
Night line of the SURROUNDSETUP  
menu. Next, press /buttons EUto  
choose between the following settings.  
To set the delay time, continue within the  
MASTER MENU(Figure 1). If the system  
is not already at that point, press the OSD but-  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The output level can be  
adjusted for each digital and analog surround

DOLBY PRO LOGIC  
The standard mode for analog surround sound decoding. It uses information encoded  
in a two channel stereo recording to produce four distinct outputs: Left, Center, Right and  
a Mono Surround channel. Use this mode for accurate reproduction of programs bearing  
the Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo, UltraStereo or other “Surround” logos. Surround-encoded  
programs include videocassette, DVD and LD movies, TV and cable programs, radio  
programs and audio CDs. Dolby Pro Logic processing may also be used to provide a  
pleasing surround effect with some stereophonic source material that does not carry  
surround encoding.  
15 ms – 30 ms  
Initial Setting = 15 ms  
An advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either  
conventional stereo material or surround-encoded programs. When used with encoded  
material, decoding is more accurate in terms of the placement of sounds, and fades and pans  
are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. Logic 7 also  
delivers increased spaciousness and a wider sound stage when it is used with conventional  
natural stereo recordings and music programs throug the use of the natural surround  
information present also in those stereo recordings. The Logic 7C or Cinema mode is tailored  
to provide an optimal sound field for movie soundtracks. The Logic 7M or Music mode uses a  
decoding formula that is best suited to music.

DTS is another digital audio system that is capa-  
ble of delivering 5.1 audio. Although both DTS  
and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different  
methods of encoding the signals, and thus they  
require different decoding circuits to convert the  
digital signals back to analog.  
One of the most important features of the  
AVR5000 is its ability to reproduce a full multi-  
channel surround sound field from digital  
sources, analog matrix surround encoded pro-  
grams and standard stereo or even mono pro-  
grams. In all, a total of thirteen listening modes  
are available on the AVR5000.

DTS-encoded sound tracks are available on select  
DVD and LD discs, as well as on special audio-  
only DTS CDs. You may use any LD, DVD or CD  
player equipped with a digital output to play  
DTS-encoded special audio-only CDs with the  
AVR5000, but DTS-LDs can be played on LD  
players and DTS-DVDs on DVD players only. All  
that is required is to connect the player’s output  
to either the Optical or Coaxial input on the  
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal  
taste, as well as the type of program source mate-  
rial being used. For example, motion pictures or TV  
programs bearing the logo of one of the major  
surround encoding processes, such as Dolby  
Surround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereoshould be  
played in either the Dolby 3 Stereo or Dolby Pro  
Logic surround modes depending on the source  
material and speakers in use.

Note that the Dolby Digital or DTS modes may  
only be selected when a digital input is in use. In  
addition, when a digital source is present, the

sources, see the following section of this manual.  
In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS  
sound tracks, the DVD player must be compatible  
with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo  
on the player’s front panel. Note that early DVD  
players may not be able to play DTS- encoded  
DVDs. This does not indicate a problem with the  
AVR5000, as some players cannot pass the DTS  
signal through to the digital outputs. If you are in  
doubt as to the capability of your DVD player to  
handle DTS DVDs, consult the player’s owner’s  
manual.  
However to create wider, enveloping sound field  
environments and more defined pans and  
flyovers with all analog stereo and surround  
recordings select Harman Kardon’s exclusive  
Logic 7 mode, that creates a stereophonic left  
and right rear signal, just as recorded in real life  
(e.g. sound being recorded from left rear side will  
be heard from that side only) for a dramatic  
improvement in comparison to Dolby Pro Logic.  
To listen to a program in traditional two channel  
stereo, using the front left and front right speak-  
ers only (plus the subwoofer if installed and con-  
figured), follow the instructions shown above for  
using the remote until SURR OFFappears

Digital Audio Playback  
NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with  
matrix surround information, it retains the sur-  
round information as long as the program is  
broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround  
sound may be decoded via any of the analog sur-  
round modes such as Pro Logic or Logic 7, when  
they are broadcast via conventional TV stations,  
cable, pay TV and satellite transmission. In addi-  
tion, a growing number of made-for-television  
programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and  
music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.  
You may view a list of these programs at the Dolby  
Digital audio is a major advancement over past  
systems such as Dolby Pro Logic. It delivers five dis-  
crete channels: left front, center, right front, left sur-  
round and right surround. Each channel reproduces  
full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers  
dramatically improved dynamic range and signifi-  
cant improvements to signal-to-noise ratios. In  
addition, digital systems have the capability to  
deliver an additional channel that is specifically  
devoted to low frequency information. This is the  
“.1” channel referred to when you see these sys-  
tems descibed as “5.1”. The bass channel is sepa-  
rate from the other channels, but since it is inten-  
tionally bandwidth limited, sound designers have  
given it that unique designation.  
PCM Audio Playback  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the non- com-  
pressed digital audio system used for compact  
discs, Non-Dolby Digital/DTS Laserdiscs and some  
special PCM encoded DVDs. The digital circuits in  
the AVR5000 are capable of high quality digital-  
to-analog decoding, and they may be connected  
directly to the digital audio output of your  
CD/DVD or LD player (LD only for PCM or DTS  
programs, for Dolby Digital laser discs an RF  
adapter is needed, see ”Dolby Digital” above).  
Connections may be made to either the Optical  
or Coaxial inputs RS on the rear panel or the  
Even when a program is not listed as carrying  
intentional surround information, you may find  
that the Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo or Logic 7  
modes often deliver enveloping surround presen-  
tations through the use of the natural surround  
information present in all stereo recordings.  
However, for stereo programs without any sur-  
round information the Theater, Hall and 5CH  
Stereo modes should be tried (5CH Stereo is effec-  
tive particularly with old ”extreme” stereo record-  
ings) and for mono programs, we suggest that you  
try the Theater or Hall modes. And when you use  
only two front channel speakers you should select  
Harman’s patented VMAx mode, delivering a virtu-  
ally three dimensional sound space with two  
speakers only.

NOTES:  
• The AVR5000 is only capable of playing signals  
in the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format. It is not  
compatible with other computer audio codecs.  
HDCD  
Digital Status Indicators  
• The MP 3 DSP mode found in the new  
HDCD, which stands for High Definition  
Compatible Digital®, is a sophisticated process  
that enables the AVR 5000 to deliver outstanding  
digital-to-analog decoding of PCM signals from  
any DVD or CD player, connected to a digital  
input on the AVR 5000, no matter what type of  
CD or DVD is played and even when normal,  
Non-HDCD-compatible players are used (only a  
digital output is needed).  
When a digital source is playing, the AVR5000  
senses the type of bitstream data that is present.  
Using this information, the correct surround mode  
will automatically be selected. For example, DTS  
bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to DTS  
decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will enable  
Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit senses  
PCM data, from CDs and LDs and some music  
DVDs or certain tracks on normal DVDs, it will  
allow the appropriate surround mode to be  
selected manually. Since the range of available  
surround modes depends on the type of digital  
data that is present, the AVR5000 uses a variety  
of indicators to let you know what type of signal  
is present. This will help you to understand the  
choice of modes and the input channels recorded  
on the disc.  
AVR5000 requires an MP3 SPDIF stream.  
Presently, only a few units provide this but in the  
coming generations of motherboards and operat-  
ing system updates this will follow, since SPDIF is  
the standard for audio & video hardware.  
• The digital audio input signal may be either  
optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in the  
PCM format. Direct connection of USB or serial  
data outputs is not possible, even though the sig-  
nals are in the MP3 format. If you have any ques-  
tions about the data output format from your  
computer or a sound card, check with the  
device’s Owner’s Manual or contact the manu-  
facturer’s technical support area.  
When a CD with the HDCD logo is played, the  
AVR 5000 is able to take advantage of the spe-  
cial recording process that is used in the creation  
of HDCD disc. The special circuitry enables audio  
with extraordinary fidelity, stunning resolution  
and the highest possible overall quality.  
Selecting a Digital Source  
The AVR 5000 will automatically sense that it is  
an HDCD recording and the HDCD indicator  
To utilize either digital mode you must have  
properly connected a digital source to the  
AVR5000. Connect the digital outputs from DVD  
players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD  
players to the Optical or Coaxial inputs on the  
rear or front panel RS#%. In order to pro-  
vide a backup signal and a source for analog  
stereo recording, the analog outputs provided on  
digital source equipment should also be connect-  
ed to their appropriate inputs on the AVR5000

It is important to note that the HDCD process is  
completely compatible with standard recordings.  
Indeed, the high-quality digital-to-analog  
circuitry that is part of HDCD and the HDCD  
decoder chip, replacing the monolithic digital  
filters used in conventional DACs, will enable  
enhanced performance also with normal,  
non-HDCD encoded program material.  
DOLBY D: When the DOLBY D indicator  
lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being received.  
Depending on the audio track selected on the  
source player and number of channels on the  
disc, different surround modes are possible. Note  
that only one channel without subwoofer, called  
”1.0” audio, or all five channels with subwoofer  
(”5.1” audio) or all steps between can be record-  
ed on digitally surround encoded audio tracks  
(see NOTE below). With all those tracks, except  
”2.0” audio, only the Dolby Digital and VMAx  
modes are available. When the Dolby Digital sig-  
nal is only two channel (”2.0”) these two chan-  
nels (l and r) often contain Pro Logic surround  
informations. With those tracks the AVR5000  
automatically switches to the Pro Logic mode,

MP3 Audio Playback  
The AVR5000 is one of the first A/V receivers to  
provide on-board decoding for the MP3 audio  
format used on specific computer audio files and  
by portable MP3 players/recorders. In addition,  
some new CD and DVD players are capable of  
playing back optical discs that are recorded with  
MP3, rather than standard CD audio information.  
By offering MP3 decoding, the AVR5000 is able  
to deliver more precise conversion of the digital  
signals to an analog output, along with the ben-  
efits of listening to MP3 audio through the  
AVR5000’s high current amplifier and the speak-  
ers from your surround system, rather than the  
smaller speakers and low powered amplifiers typ-  
ically used with computers.  
When playing a digital source such as DVD, first  
select its input using the remote or front panel  
controls as outlined in this manual in order to  
feed its video signal (if any) to the TV monitor  
and to provide its analog audio signal for record-  
ing. When the digital input appropriate with the  
DVD player is not selected automatically (due to  
the input settings made earlier during the system  
configuration, see page 21), select the digital

codes that indicate the type of material being  
broadcast. The following list shows the  
abbreviations used to indicate each PTY, along  
with an explanation of the PTY:  
The AVR5000 is equipped with RDS (Radio Data  
System), which brings a wide range of  
information to FM radio. Now in use in many  
countries, RDS is a system for transmitting  
station call signs or network information, a  
description of station program type, text  
messages about the station or specifics of a  
musical selection, and the correct time.  
• (RDS ONLY)  
Some RDS stations may not include some of  
these additional features. If the data required  
for the selected mode is not being transmitted,

Note that this setting is temporary and will  
remain active only until it is changed or until the  
AVR5000 is turned off. Once the unit is turned  
off, the semi-OSD displays will remain activated,  
even if they were switched off for the previous  
listening session.  
Semi-OSD Settings  
Full-OSD Time Out Adjustment  
The semi-OSD system places one line messages  
at the lower third of the video display screen  
whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround  
mode or tuner frequency of any of the configura-  
tion settings are changed. The semi-OSD system  
is helpful in that enables you to have feedback  
on any control changes or remote commands  
using the video display when it is difficult to  
view the front-panel displays. However, you may  
occasionally prefer to turn these displays off for  
a particular listening session. You may also want  
to adjust the length of time the displays remain  
on the screen. Both of those options are possible  
with the AVR5000.  
The FULL-OSDmenu system is used to  
simplify the setup and adjustment of the  
AVR5000 using a series of on-screen menus. The  
factory default setting for these menus leaves  
them on the screen for 20 seconds after a period  
of inactivity before they disappear from the  
screen or Time Out. This Time Out is a safety  
measure to prevent the menu text from burning  
into the CRTs in your monitor or projector, which  
might happen if they were left on indefinitely.  
However, some viewers may prefer a slightly  
longer or shorter period before the Time Out dis-  
play.  
To change the length of time that the semi-OSD  
displays remain on the screen, go to the  
ADVANCEDSELECTMenu as out-

Programming the Remote  
The AVR5000 is equipped with a powerful  
remote control that will control not only the  
receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands  
of audio and video equipment, including CD  
players, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite  
receivers and other home-theater equipment.  
Once the AVR5000’s remote is programmed with  
the codes for the products you own, it is possible  
to eliminate most other remotes and replace  
them with the convenience of a single universal  
remote control.

Code Readout  
Learning Codes from a Remote  
When the code has been entered using the Auto  
Search method, it is always a good idea to find  
out the exact code so that it may be easily  
reentered if necessary. You may also read the  
codes to verify which device has been  
programmed to a specific Control Selector  
button.  
In addition to using codes from the remote’s  
internal code library, the AVR5000’s remote is  
able to “learn” codes from remotes that may not  
be in the code library. In addition, you may use  
this function to “learn over” the codes from a  
preprogrammed device to add functions not  
included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn  
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the  
AVR5000’s remote, follow these steps:  
press the Learn button

LEDs and turn off the learning mode.  
8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional  
remotes you wish to “teach” into the AVR5000

Erasing Learned Codes  
The AVR5000’s remote allows you to remove or  
erase the code learned into a single button for a  
single device, to remove or erase all the codes that  
have been learned for a single device, or to erase  
all commands that have been learned for all  
devices.

As you add components to your home-theater  
system, occasionally you may wish to totally  
reprogram the remote control without the confu-  
sion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-  
Through“ programming that you may have done.  
To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the  
original factory defaults and command codes by  
following these steps. Note, however, that once  
the remote is reset, all commands or codes that  
you have entered will be erased and will need to  
be re-entered:

the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a  
cable box or satellite receiver without having to

the remote. To program the remote for Channel  
Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:  
Example: To control the transport of a CD player  
while the remote is set to control the TV, press the  
VID 2/TV Input Selector button
