in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the

parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably

insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and

The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on

your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,

which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to

prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as 'anti-static' can generate electrical charges

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement

ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the

chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together

or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon AVR
7000 you are about to begin many years of lis-
tening enjoyment. The AVR 7000 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 DTS

decoding, the AVR 7000 deliv-

ers six discrete channels of audio that take
advantage of the digital sound tracks from the
latest DVD and LD releases and Digital Television
broadcasts.

While complex digital systems are hard at work
within the AVR 7000 to make all of this happen,
hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed
connections, a backlit, programmable remote
control, and on-screen menus make the AVR
7000 easy to use. To obtain the maximum
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 external
devices are made properly. In addition, a few
minutes spent learning the functions of the vari-
ous controls will enable you to take advantage
of all the power the AVR 7000 is able to deliver.

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 AVR 7000 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 and custom Hall and Theater modes,
only Harman Kardon receivers offer Logic 7

create a wider, more enveloping field environ-
ment and more defined fly-overs and pans. The
AVR 7000 is also the only receiver that offers
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. Another Harman Kardon
exclusive is VMAx

, which uses proprietary pro-

cessing to create an open, spacious sound field
even when only two front speakers are available.

No matter how sophisticated your system com-
ponents, the AVR 7000 is able to accommodate
them. In addition to five A/V-inputs with audio,
composite video and S-Video, the AVR 7000 fea-
tures two component video inputs to ensure the
utmost in picture quality. Audio is accommodat-
ed by two additional audio-only inputs, four digi-
tal audio inputs and two digital audio outputs. A
separate six-channel direct input is also available
to ensure compatibility with future audio sys-
tems.

Despite the wide range of inputs available,
selecting between them is simple, using a backlit
remote control that operates the AVR and up to
seven additional devices. Codes may be pro-
grammed into the remote either from an exten-
sive internal database or via a learning method.

The AVR 7000’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. Both composite
video and S-Video, as well as audio, are routed
to the remote room location, with complete con-
trol over volume provided by a separate infrared
control link. To make it easy to operate the AVR
7000 from a remote room, a separate Zone II
remote is included.

The AVR 7000’s powerful amplifier uses
traditional Harman Kardon high-current design
technologies to meet the wide dynamic range of
any program selection.

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 AVR 7000 is the finest receiver ever
offered by Harman Kardon.

Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR 7000 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.

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.

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 serv-
ice depot with a cord meeting factory specifica-
tions.

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.

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 prod-
uct will void your guarantee. If water or any
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a
staple accidentally falls inside the unit, discon-
nect it from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.

Installation Location
■ 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.

both above and below the unit for ventilation.

required.

surface.

locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the

top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.

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 immediate-
ly with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile

The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect 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.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage,
you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care-
fully 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.

If you do not wish to save the packaging materi-
als, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
