Set Up the AVR and
Operating Your AVR
6. If you have not selected an HDMI connector for Video In, select “Audio In” and select the
audio input connector you want to assign to the source button. Press the OK button.
7. Press the remote’s Back/Exit button and repeat steps 3 – 6 for the remaining source
buttons with connectors you want to re-assign.
Title: This selection lets you change the display name for the source, which is useful if
your source’s device type is different from the source’s preprogrammed name. Use the
Up/Down buttons to scroll forward or backward through the alphanumeric characters
until the desired character appears, then use the Left/Right buttons to move the cursor to
the next or previous position. Move the cursor again to leave a blank space. (Your name
can have a maximum of 10 characters.) When you have finished, press the OK Button.
The new name will appear on the AVR’s front panel and throughout the on-screen menu
system.
Tone: This setting determines whether the treble and bass controls are active for the
source. When it’s set to Off, the tone controls are out of the circuit, with no changes to the
sound. When it’s set to On, the bass and treble controls are in the circuit.
Treble/Bass: These settings boost or cut the treble or bass frequencies by up to 10dB,
in 2dB increments. Use the Left/Right buttons to change the setting. The default setting
is 0dB.
Night Mode: This setting activates Night mode for the source, which works with specially
encoded Dolby Digital discs or broadcasts. Night mode compresses the audio so that
louder passages are reduced in volume to avoid disturbing others, while dialogue remains
intelligible. The following settings are available:
• Off: No compression is applied. Loud passages in the program remain as they were
recorded.
• Mid: Loud passages in the program are reduced moderately in volume.
Dolby True HD stream is compressed automatically as set by the incoming
stream.
• Max: Loud passages in the program are reduced more in volume.
Lip Sync: This setting lets you resynchronize the audio and video signals from the source
to eliminate a “lip sync” problem. Lip-sync issues can occur when the video portion of a
signal undergoes additional processing in either the source device or the video display.
Use the Left/Right buttons to delay the audio by up to 180ms. (The active source’s video
will be visible behind the OSD menu, allowing you to synchronize the audio with the
picture.)
You can also make lip sync adjustments without activating the AVR’s OSD menus.
Pressing the remote’s Delay button will display the Lip Sync menu bar on the TV,
superimposed at the bottom of the video. Use the Left/Right buttons to delay the audio
until it is synchronized with the picture.
Set Up the Network
To play MP3 or WMA media located on DLNA-compatible devices connected to the
network or use the AVR’s internal Internet radio tuner, the AVR must be connected to
your home network.
If your network uses an automatic IP address, you should not have to perform any
network setup procedures. Once you connect the AVR to your home network, the network
should automatically assign the AVR an IP address, and the AVR should automatically join
your network.
If your AVR does not automatically join your network (in which case the AVR will display a
“Not Connected” message when you press the Network source button):
1. Press the OSD/Menu button, select System Setup, then select Network.
2. The Network menu will appear.
3. Select IP Configuration, then press the Right button button twice to cycle the setting
from “Auto” to “Manual” and back to “Auto.”
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, then press down once more. Select “Apply &
Save”. The AVR will attempt to connect to the network.
5. If the AVR again fails to connect to the network, you may need to enter your network’s
settings manually. In this case, you may need to obtain your network’s settings from
your ISP or network administrator. After obtaining your network’s settings:
a) Select IP Configuration and use the Left/Right buttons to change the setting to
“Manual.” The following settings will become active: IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS
b) Use the Up/Down buttons to select the correct numbers and make entries for all
of these settings.
c) When you have finished, scroll down to the bottom of the page, then press down
once more. Select “Apply & Save,” and press the OK button. The AVR will refresh
the network connection while it remains on. If the AVR cannot connect to the
network using the manual settings, contact your ISP or network administrator for
assistance.
IMPORTANT: You must select “Apply & Save” for your network settings to take
effect.
NOTE: We recommend that you directly connect the AVR to a home-network router so
that it can directly access the Internet for Internet radio, or access devices on the network
for playback of content stored on the devices (see Listening to Media via Your Home
Network, on page 26, for more information).
NOTE: If you have trouble connecting to the network at any time, cycle the AVR into
the Off mode, and then turn it back on.
Operating Your AVR
Now that you have installed your components and completed a basic configuration, you
are ready to begin enjoying your home theater system.
HARMAN Remote App
For easy control of your AVR with your hand-held device, download the free Harman
Kardon Remote app from iTunes App Store for compatible Apple products, or from Google
Play for compatible Android powered smartphones.
The Harman Kardon Remote App controls virtually all the functions of AVR 1510S and
AVR 151S AVRs that are connected to the same network as the device that has the
app installed. With this easy-to-use app you can turn the AVR on or off, select a source,
control the volume and virtually any other function. You can also access and navigate all
of the AVR’s on-screen setup menus.
