Topic: harman/kardon avr

[AICRAG]

Just got Harman Kardon AVR340 from Archi Audio.  Installed today using Dali Concept speakers.  Napapangiti ako.  he!he!

[pietro]

need some advice...all 3 optical inputs of my hk avr230 suddenly went dead. i checked all other audio connections and they were fine. i also checked all my speaker connections, but everything was ok. while using any of the optical connections, there is no sound. i once cranked up the volume to the max and a short burst of sound from the video i was watching came out. currently using coax connections, ayaw talaga nung optical inputs. what do you guys think? thanks.

Bro kung 100% sure ka na ok lahat ng connections...at ayaw bumalik kahit mag off and on ka... i "reboot" mo.  meron sa manual na procedure to reset the microprocessor. (push tone button for 3 seconds etc.) babalik sa factory settings. kailangan lang ma note down mo lahat ng settings mo para madali ibalik later.
ginawa ko na to once kasi wala lumalabas na tunog saka yung OSD menu kulang. (did this during first turn on from the box)

[pietro]

thanks bro! will try that. sana gumana na.

[pietro]

no luck.  just tried resetting the system, but problem was still there. all the 3 optical inputs seem to be dead. currently using analog connections.

Have you tried tinkering with the set-up?  Is the Input set to OPTICAL?

[pietro]

yup. have been using the optical inputs for a long time na, 1 for my dvd player and 1 for my xbox360. bigla na lang nawala yung sound last week. the system doesnt seem to recognize the connection because when i choose the optical input, lumalabas "unlock" sa osd. pati yung optical input sa harap ng system hindi na rin gumagana.

Hi Pietro,

Have you tried replacing the DVD player and/or the optical cable? The problem might be the digital source i might be wrong though

[XXXyzledge]

newbie question lang mga sir....

what are the diffenerces between HK AVR 230, 235 & 240?

thanks!

You can also try using the Optical cable to another equipment (if possible), para lang ma rule out yung possibility na yung cable yung problem.

Hi everyone! I am a new user of HK receiver.
Would like to know if the flip down panel of AVR630 can still be repaired and where can i bring it for repair. The problem with the panel is that it stays open and can't be closed anymore. The unit was bought in the U.S kaya hindi ako maka-claim ng warranty dito. So far, I am happy with the unit and no problem encountered except for this minor one. TIA

just got my hk avr back from beyond innovations and...it doesnt work!!! pero i tried it there before i left and it worked fine. im sure that something was wrong with it because when i brought it in, hindi rin gumagana nung tinest nila. ano kaya nangyari dito?  meron ba kayong alam na home service repairs for hk? just so that id be sure that it would work with my setup. 

[acostaml]

bro baka dapat ma check din kung ano issue sa set-up mo.  baka may nag so short or something.  kaya pagbalik mo, baka nasira ulit.
In short, dapat ma check yung set-up mo at baka yan ang root cause ng issues with your AVR

Thnx for the advice...will try to check on my other components later. nagtataka lang talaga ako kung bakit yung optical inputs lang yung nasisira.

[pietro]

medyo OT: is there an optical to coax converter or adaptor? where can i get one locally? thanks ulit.

[AICRAG]

try mo tawagan si Chad ng Archi Audio.  8116715

[pietro]

update lang: i had given up on my optical inputs so i used coax instead. noticed that the sound was better than optical, parang masbuo yung bass. hehe. weird thing was that for some reason, i decided to reset the system last night....then my optical inputs suddenly worked!!! a-ok na lahat ulit!! thanks for the help bros. 

[AICRAG]

Good to hear things are back to normal.  Baka nung inuwi mo bro merong fluctuations or something na nag disable nung connections mo.  Kaya nung nag reset ka, back to normal.
Ako coax agad, kasi mas reco ni Chadd ang sound kesa digital.  Masaya naman ako so far sa sound kaya hindi na ako nag try mag digital.

i will be acquiring another AVR for my HK 235....
this will be dedicated to my HK only since
my LCD, DVD player & CD player already
have its own AVR....

how big an AVR would i need?
is a 750 watts AVR enough? or do i need a 1000watts AVR?

TIA !!!

[spectraav]

Meron pa ba stereo receivers HK that are available?  Thanks

yes sir meron pa rin po
hk 970

I think the 750 watt is enough.
