Navigation Button n so that the cursor is next
to BACK TO MASTER MENU to continue
the setup process.
The following few paragraphs detail the instructions
needed for modes with multiple choices.
On the
DOLBY menu (Figure 4), the selection
choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II-
Music,Dolby Pro Logic II-Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II-
Emulation and Dolby 3 Stereo.The Dolby Digital EX
mode is only available when the system is set for
6.1/7.1 operation by configuring the Surround Back
speakers to “Small” or “Large” as described on page
22.When a disc is playing that contains a special
“flag” signal in the digital audio data stream, the EX
mode will be selected automatically. It may also be
selected using this menu or through the front-panel or
remote controls as shown on page 28.A complete
explanation of these modes is found on page 29.
When the Dolby Digital mode is selected there are
additional settings available for the Night mode.
Figure 4
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.The Night mode is only
available when specially encoded Dolby Digital signals
are played.
To adjust the Night mode setting, make certain that the
›
cursor is on the NIGHT line of the DOLBY
menu. Next, press
‹
/
›
Navigation Button n to
choose between the following settings,as they appear
in the on-screen display:
OFF:When OFF is highlighted, the Night mode
will not function.
MID:When MID is highlighted, a mild compres-
sion will be applied.
MAX:When MAX is highlighted, a more severe
compression algorithm will be applied.
We recommend that you select the MID setting as
a starting point and change to the MAX setting later,
if desired.
The Night mode may also be adjusted directly any
time a Dolby Digital source is playing by pressing the
Night Mode Button .When the button is
pressed, D-RANGE will appear in the lower third
of the video screen and in the Main Information
Display ˜. Press the

made,press the

that the

TER MENU, and press the Set Button p to
return to the MASTER MENU.
On the DTS menu, the selection choices made with
the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button n on the remote are
determined by a combination of the type of program
material in use and whether the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 chan-
nel configuration is in use.
When a DTS source is playing, the choice of modes
for 7.1 systems will vary according to the type of pro-
gram source (DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix or DTS-ES
Discrete). Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button n to
scroll through the choices that are available for your
system and the program in use.The DTS Neo:6 Music
mode is available with analog stereo sources and the
DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode is available with analog
matrix surround-encoded sources to deliver an
enhanced 5.1-channel sound field.
When the 5.1 configuration is in use the AVR will
automatically select the 5.1 version of DTS processing
when a DTS data stream is selected.When the 6.1/
7.1 mode is selected, the DTS-ES Discrete mode
will automatically be activated when a DTS source
with the ES Discrete “flag” is in use.When a non-ES
DTS disc is in use,you may select the DTS-ES
Matrix mode through this menu to create a full eight-
speaker surround mode.See page 29 for a complete
explanation of the DTS modes.
On the
LOGIC 7
menu, the selection choices
made with the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button n on the
remote are determined by whether the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1
channel configuration is in use.In either case, the
selection of a Logic 7 mode enables Harman Kardon’s
exclusive Logic 7 processing to create fully envelop-
ing, multichannel surround from either two-channel
Stereo or Matrix-encoded programming such as VHS
cassettes,laser discs or television broadcasts pro-
duced with Dolby surround.
In the 5.1 configuration you may select the Logic 7/5.1
Music,Cinema or Enhance mode.They work best
with two-channel music,surround-encoded programs
or standard two-channel programming of any type,
respectively. For 6.1/7.1 configurations the Music and
Cinema modes may be selected.The Logic 7 modes
are not available when either Dolby Digital or DTS
Digital soundtracks are in use.See page 29 for a
complete explanation of the DSP Surround modes.
On the
DSP (SURR) menu, the selection
choices made with the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button n
on the remote select from one of the DSP surround
modes that are designed for use with two-channel
stereo programs to create a variety of sound field pre-
sentations.The choices available are Hall 1, Hall 2,
Theater,VMAx Near and VMAx Far.The Hall and
Theater modes are designed for multichannel installa-
tions,while the two VMAx modes are optimized for
use in delivering a full surround field when only the
front left and front right speakers are installed. See
page 29 for a complete explanation of the DSP
surround modes.
On the
STEREO menu, the selection choices
made with the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button n on the
remote may either turn the surround processing off for
a traditional two-channel stereo presentation, or select
5 Stereo or 7 Stereo
depending on
whether the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 output is in use.The latter
modes feed a two-channel presentation to all speakers,
regardless of the number of speakers in use.See
page 29 for a complete explanation of the 5 Stereo
and 7 Stereo modes.
After the selections are made on the Dolby, DTS,
Logic 7, DSP (Surround) or Stereo menus, press the

line and press the Set Button p.
Speaker Setup
This menu tells the AVR 7200 which type of speakers
are in use.This is important as it adjusts the settings
that decide whether your system will use the “5-chan-
nel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes,as well as
determining which speakers receive low-frequency
(bass) information.
For each of these settings, use the
LARGE setting
if the speakers for a particular position are traditional
full-range loudspeakers. Use the
SMALL setting for
smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not
reproduce sounds below 200Hz. Note that when
“small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to
reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the
“large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the
