FAQs
Fast answers to the most commonly asked questions. |
| Q | I’m having problems with a Blu-ray Disc™ player, PlayStation®3 or Xbox 360™ player that is connected to one of the AVR's HDMI™ inputs. Any suggestions as to a first step?
| |
| A | Unfortunately, issues with HDMI™ connectivity can be caused by many different things. Before going further, refer to the owner’s manual for your player or game console to learn how to find out the software version of the product. Then, check the manufacturer's web site to see whether the software installed in your unit is the most up-to-date. If a newer version is available, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to download and install the update. In many cases, the new software will solve the problem. If problems persist, contact Harman Kardon® Customer Service for further assistance. |
|
| Q | When I switch between analog and digital channels on my cable television set-top box, the picture distorts, but I have no problems when using other sources. How can I resolve the problem? | |
| A | Please check the picture settings on your cable box, particularly the aspect ratio settings, which will vary depending on the brand and model of your cable box and on your local cable provider. You may wish to consult with your cable provider for more information on how to adjust the cable box's settings. Some settings, such as a setting to force an analog channel's native 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 widescreen to fit your display, may interfere with the cable system's copy-protection feature and cause distortion. |
|
| Q | Is my Harman Kardon® AVR model capable of processing both audio and video through the HDMI™ inputs? | |
| A | No. The AVR 146, AVR 147, AVR 154 and AVR 245 are all HDMI switchers. They can pass both audio and video signals through to other devices, such as the TV. However, these AVRs cannot process the signals, which means you need to make a separate analog and/or digital audio connection from each source to the AVR. See the full owner's manual for more details. |
|
| Q | Why doesn't the AVR respond when I use the remote control, even though my other products work just fine? | |
| A | The remote is only capable of operating one device at a time (unless you have programmed advanced functions such as volume-, channel- or transport-control punch-through).
When you press the Source Selector to operate your other product, such as the DVD player, the remote cannot control any other product, including the AVR, until you press the AVR Button again.
To avoid your problem in the future, always press the AVR Button or appropriate Source Selector before you enter any command. |
