THE

MUSIC

COMPANY

INTRODUCTION

You

are

now

the

owner

of

an

instrument

unique

in

concept

and

design.

The

Harman/Kardon

Model

75+

multichannel

receiver

encompasses

the

best

of

all

forms

of

music

reproduction.

It

may

be

installed

as

a

stereophonic

re-

ceiver

capable

of

delivering

clean,

articulate

sound

at

moderate

power

levels,

or

as

a

quadriphonic

receiver

that

can

fill

your

listening

room

with

spacious,

three

dimensional

sound.

When

you

listen

to

your

new

Harman/Kardon

multichannel

receiver

you

will

instantly

recognize

that

something

truly

phenomenal

is

taking

place.

The

sound,

which

normally

emerges

from

the

speaker

boxes,

will

lose

its

boundaries

and

will

emanate

from

all

over

the

room

recreating

the

scope,

depth

and

breadth

of

the

concert

hail.

The

walls

of

your

listening

room

will

seem

to

dis-

appear

and

you

will

find

yourself

surrounded

by

a

sound

field

that

has

the

same

ambience

and

spaciousness

which

marks

a

live

performance.

Stereo-

phonic

balance

and

perspective

will

be

retained,

but

now

there

will

be

the

addition

of

depth

which

will

project

you

into

the

middle

of

the

hall.

Applause,

for

example,

will

emerge

from

the

front sides

and

rear.

And

during

playback

of

a

live

concert

don't

be

too

startled

if

you

hear

someone

coughing

or

rustling

his

program

from

behind

you.

The

4-Channel

medium

is

even

more

dramatic

for

contemporary

music,

espe-

cially

if

the

music

was

originally

written

for

four

channel

reproduction.

Sounds

bounce

back

and

forth

from

the

corners

of

the

room

involving

you

completely

with

the

performance.

It’s

a

new

and

exhilarating

kind

of

sound

that

will

make

listening

to

music

a

new

experience.

The

Model

75+

bears

the

heritage

of

the

Harman/Kardon

trademark—

ultrawideband

frequency

response,

virtually

unmeasurable

distortion

and

all

of

the

required

conveniences

so

essential

for

the

ultimate

enjoyment

of

high

fidelity

reproduction.

We

urge

you

to

read

this

manual

carefully

prior

to

installing

and

operat-

ing

your

new

receiver.

The

Model

75+

is

not

a

complicated

instrument.

How-

ever,

there

are

certain

aspects

of

its

operation

which

should

be

understood

clearly

before

you

install

and

operate

it.

Happy

listening!

instrument.

INSTALLATION

VENTILATION

Although

your

new

receiver

rarely

develops

high

heat,

it

is

recommended

that

you

leave

the

back

of

the

cabinet

open.

If

this

is

not

possible,

provide

several

large

holes

or

slots

as

low

and

as

high

up

in

the

cabinet

back

as

possible.

As

an

alternative,

holes

may

be

provided

in

the

sides,

bottom

or

top

of

the

cabinet.

Remember

that

really

effective

ventilation

requires

provision

for

cool

air

to

enter

at

the

bottom

and

hot

air

to

leave

at

the

top.

A

minimum

clearance

of

two

(2)

inches

should

be

allowed

on

each

side

and

in

the

rear,

between

the

chassis

and

the

cabinet,

and

three

(3)

inches

are

required

above

it.

Isolate

any

accessories

which

might

interfere

with

ventilation.

For

example,

do

not

drape

plastic

or

rubber

covered

interconnecting

cables

over

the

equip-

ment.

POWER

REQUIREMENTS

Connect

the

AC

line

cord

to

any

outlet

furnishing

117

volts,

60

Hz

AC

current.

The

voltage

may

vary

between

105

and

125

volts.

An

auxiliary

AC

power

outlet

is

provided

on

the

rear

panel

of

your

receiver.

Any

accessory

equipment

(tape

recorder,

phonograph

record

player,

etc.)

may

be

connected

to

this

receptacle

and

will

be

controlled

by

the

POWER

switch

on

the

front

panel.

FUSING

A

fuse

is

a

safety

device

used

to

protect

the

receiver

against

possible

damage

due

to

overload

or

short

circuits.

The

75+

receiver

employs

five

protective

fuses.

All

five

are

located

on

the

rear

panel.

The

AC

fuse

labeled

3A-3AG

Slo Blo

is

used

to

protect

the

power

supply

of

the

entire

system.

The

other

four

fuses

labeled

4A-3AG

LEFT,

RIGHT,

FRONT

and

BACK,

protect

the

output

stages

of

the

receiver.

The

output

of

your

receiver

has

been

designed

to

operate

with

a

MAXI-

MUM

of

4.0

amperes

of

current

in

each

channel.

Under

certain

conditions,

it

is

possible

to

draw

more

than

4.0

amperes

through

the

output

stage

which

would,

in

turn,

blow

the

speaker

fuses.

This

could

be

caused

by

using

multiple

speaker

systems

where

the

total

impedance

falls

below

4

ohms.

(See

‘'CON-

NECTING

THE

SPEAKERS’’).

In

the

event

of

fuse

failure,

replace

ONLY

with

the

same

fuse

type

used.

NEVER

replace

with

a

fuse

of

a

higher

rating.

To

do

so

will

NOT

protect

your

receiver

and

could

result

in

severe

damage

to

it

which

will

not

be

covered

under

the

warranty

policy.

SPEAKER

PLACEMENT

(See

Fig.

1)

The

speakers

will

be

referred

to

as

LEFT

and

RIGHT,

FRONT

and

BACK.

Placement

of

the

back

speakers

will

vary

with

your

room

size,

seating

arrange-

ment

and

acoustics.

At

times,

it

may

be

advantageous

to

place

the

back

speakers

in

line

with

the

listener,

either

aiming

them

at

the

listener,

the

rear

of

the

room

or

against

the

side

wall.

It

has

been

acknowledged

that

omni-

directional

speakers

(i.e.

Harman/Kardon

HK50)

serve

well

as

back

speakers

in

a

4-CH

setup

because

they

do

not

beam

the

sound

at

the

listener.

This

gives

the

illusion

of

far

greater

airiness

and

comes

closer

to

the

sound

at

a

live

con-

cert.

We

have

illustrated

several

ways

of

arranging

the

back

speakers.

Some

experimentation

may

be

required

before

you

obtain

optimum

sound

dispersion

and

total

surround

sound.

If

you

listen

predominantly

to

classical

music

it

is

recommended

to

reflect

the

back

speakers

off

the

walls,

or

aim

them

away

from

the

listener.

This

will

tend

to

soften

the

sound

and

create

a

more

natural

ambience.

If

you

listen

predominantly

to

contemporary

music

it

may

be

advan-

tageous

to

place

the

back

speakers

in

the

corners

and

beam

them

into

the

room.

CONNECTING

THE

SPEAKERS

Use

any

type

of

wire

to

connect

your

speakers

to

your

receiver.

However,

it

should

be

pointed

out

that

the

heavier

the

wire,

the

lower

the

loss

of

power.

Ordinary

lamp

cord,

or

zip

cord

as

it

is

sometimes

called,

is

excellent

for

this

application

since

it

can

be

dressed

easily

around

the

molding

and

it

is

usually

heavy

enough

to

extend

great

lengths

without

an

appreciable

loss

in

power.

Do

not

drive

tacks

or

staples

through

the

center

of

the

wire

since

this

can

result

in

a

short

circuit

which

would

either

cut

the

volume

level

down

considerably

or

short

out

the

sound

completely.

It

is

permissible

to

use

approximately

50-60

feet

of

heavy

gauge

speaker

connecting

wire

for

each

speaker

without

loss

of

volume.

TO

PREVENT

DAMAGE

FROM

MOMENTARY

ACCIDENTAL

HOWEVER,

REPETITIVE

SHORTING

CAN

DAMAGE

THE

OUTPUT

The

75-4

connects

two

pairs

of

speaker

systems

for

the

front

channels,

and

another

two

pairs

for

the

back.

Any

pair

may

be

driven

independently

or

a

combination

of

two

pairs

may

be

driven,

as

selected

by

the

MAIN

and

REMOTE

Speaker

Switches.

Connect

them

to

the

receiver

as

instructed

in

the

diagrams

(Fig.

2

and

Fig.

3),

taking

care

not

to

confuse

the

FRONT

and

BACK,

LEFT

and

RIGHT

channels,

and

the

plus

and

minus

polarities.

Sufficient

care

should

be

taken

not

to

short

circuit

the

plus

and

minus

leads.

‘SPEAKER

IMPEDANCE

Each

speaker

system

connected

to

your

75+

must

possess

an

impedance

of

from

4

to

16

ohms.

Should

you

wish

to

drive

two

pairs

of

speaker

systems

simultaneously,

they

should

all

have

an

impedance

of

8

ohms

or

more.

SPEAKER

PHASING

For

maximum

enjoyment

of

multichannel

sound,

it

is

important

to

have

the

four

speaker

systems

in

phase.

The

phase

relationship

must

be

correct,

not

only

between

the

front

left

and

right

speaker

systems,

the

back

left

and

right

speaker

systems,

but

also

between

the

front

and

back

channels.

When

connecting

each

speaker

system

to

the

receiver,

be

certain

to

main-

tain

plus

and

minus

polarities.

If

your

speakers

do

not

have

a

plus/minus

polarity

identification,

phasing

can

be

accomplished

by

the

following

procedure:

1.

After

connecting

your

speakers,

place

the

receiver

in

the

MONO

mode

of

operation

and

the

SOUND

FIELD

BALANCE

control

to

the

exact

top

center

position.

2.

Play

a

record,

tape

or

FM

broadcast

which

has

a

single

speaking

or

singing

voice,

or

a

solo

instrument.

3.

The

voice

or

instrument

should

appear

to

be

emerging

from

an

area

some-

where

in

the

center

of

the

two

speakers.

If

the

voice

seems

to

come

from

both

speakers

|f

you

determine

that

your

speakers

are

out

of

phase,

merely

disconnect

the

leads

from

only

one

of

the

speakers

and

reverse

them.

Your

stereo

system

will

now

be

in

phase.

This

completes

the

phasing

of

a

pair

of

speakers

for

stereo

operation.

It

should

be

noted

that

it

is

not

necessary

to

match

the

impedance

of

the

speakers

to

the

receiver

since

the

75+

is

a

solid

state

instrument

and

can

accommodate

all

speakers

ranging

in

impedance

from

4

to

16

ohms

without

special

trans-

formers.

Repeat

this

process

for

all

additional

pairs

of

speakers

in

your

system.

OPERATING

PROCEDURE

Every

on

this

receiver

serves

a

specific

and

useful

function

and

is

important

for

the

proper

operation

of

your

stereo

or

4-Channel

system.

Read

this

section

carefully

so

you

can

take

full

advantage

of

all

the

per-

formance

PANEL

STEREO/4-CH

SWITCH

The

75+

receiver

is

shipped

with

the

STEREO/4-CH

switch

in

the

4-CH

mode.

A

special

safety

latch

is

fitted

next

to

the

switch

to

prevent

throwing

the

switch

accidentally

while

the

STEREO

THRESHOLD

CONTROL

This

rear

control

can

be

adjusted

to

determine

the

number

of

stereo

stations

the

tuner

will

reproduce

in

the

STEREO

FM

position

of

the

Function

Switch.

In

the

full

counterclockwise

position,

the

automatic

switching

circuits

have

maximum

sensitivity

and

all

stereo

stations

within

the

range

of

the

tuner

will

be

reproduced.

However,

due

to

weak

signals

(or

their

distance

from

your

an-

tenna)

some

stations

will

contain

noise

levels

which

degrade

performance

when

reproduced

in

stereo.

In

order

to

reproduce

these

stations

monophonically

(when

in

the

STEREO

FM

position

of

the

Function

Switch),

rotate

the

STEREO

THRESHOLD

control

clockwise

until

only

good

quality

stereo

are

reproduced.

MUTING

THRESHOLD

CONTROL

This

rear

CONTOUR

SWITCH

One

of

the

limitations

of

human

hearing

is

its

tendency

to

lose

sensitivity

to

the

very

low

pitched

sounds

as

the

program

sound

level

is

reduced,

It

is

this

characteristic

(known

as

the

Fletcher-Munson

effect)

which

causes

one

to

play

music

programs

at

high

listening

levels

in

order

to

experience

the

full

rich

tone

available

from

fine

modern

recordings.

The

Harman/Kardon

CONTOUR

switch

compensates

for

this

effect,

thereby

eliminating

high

listening

levels

as

a

requisite

for

full

enjoyment

of

reproduced

music.

For

warm,

full-bodied

reproduction

at

low

listening

levels,

throw

the

CONTOUR

switch

to

the

IN

position.

At

high

levels,

the

CONTOUR

switch

has

no

effect.

FM

MUTING

SWITCH

The

purpose

of

the

muting

circuit

is

to

reduce

audible

noise

when

tuning

from

station

to

station.

Since

very

weak

signals

may

be

muted

at

the

same

time,

the

front

panel

FM

MUTING

switch

may

be

used

to

defeat

the

muting

circuit

on

weak

signals.

To

reduce

interstation

noise,

throw

the

MUTING

switch

'‘ON’’.

To

defeat

the

circuit,

throw

the

switch

‘‘OFF’’.

HIGH

CUT

SWITCH

The

HIGH

CUT

filter

has

been

designed

to

reduce

the

high

response

of

your

receiver,

This

will

reduce

annoying

record

scratch,

tape

hiss,

FM

background

noise,

etc.

LOW

CUT

SWITCH

At

times,

record

changers,

turntables

and

even

some

FM

stations

produce

an

objectionable

low

frequency

signal

that

is

strong

enough

to

be

introduced

into

the

playback

This

is

known

as

rumble

and

can

be

cancelled

out

by

the

special

low

network

included

in

this

When-

ever

rumble

is

present

depress

station

conclude

broadcasting

in

stereo,

your

receiver

will

automatically

switch

back

to

monophonic

reception.

Should

you

receive

a

weak

stereo

signal

whose

quality

has

been

degraded

by

noise

or

poor

signal

conditions,

and

you

wish

to

listen

to

this

stereo

broad-

cast

monophonically,

place

the

function

selector

switch

in

the

FM

position.

STEREO

INDICATOR

A

stereo

indicator

is

located

adjacent

to

the

tuning

meter

and

operates

in

conjunction

with

the

STEREO

FM

position

of

the

Function

switch.

The

indica-

tor

visually

shows

the

reproduction

of

FM

stereo

through

your

receiver.

To

tune

for

FM

stereo

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Place

the

function

selector

switch

in

the

STEREO

FM

position.

2.

Tune

to

the

station

of

your

choice

using

your

tuning

meter

for

precise

and

accurate

tuning.

Your

stereo

indicator

will

now

show

if

you

are

tuned

to

a

stereo

program.

If

the

indicator

is

off,

the

program

you

are

listening

to

is

being

broadcast

monophonically.

TUNING

METER

Your

Receiver

incorporates

a

D'Arsonval

movement

tuning

meter

for

precise

and

accurate

tuning.

The

FM

balance

meter

is

designed

to

operate

on

a

null

or

‘‘zero’’

center

principle.

Therefore,

the

meter

pointer

should

always

be

at

the

dead

center

position

of

your

meter

dial

for

optimum

listening

performance.

To

accomplish

this,

rotate

your

tuning

knob

slowly,

in

one

direction

towards

the

station

of

your

choice.

As

you

tune

through

the

station

you

will

notice

the

pointer

swinging

from

the

left

or

right

past

the

zero

center.

THE

CORRECT

POINT

for

minimum

distor-

tion

and

optimum

FM

reception

is

when

the

pointer

is

resting

at

the

‘‘zero”

center

position.

When

used

in

the

AM

position,

simply

tune

for

maximum

indication.

DIAL

SCALE

The

dial

scale

on

your

receiver

is

marked

with

three

scales,

namely,

an

FM

frequency

scale

(88-108

MHz),

a

logging

scale

(0-100),

and

an

AM

frequency

scale.

Since

most

FM

stations

operate

at

frequencies

which

are

not

whole

num-

bers

(such

as

96

MHz

as

compared

to

96.3

MHz),

ideally,

each

megahertz

division

on

the

frequency

scale

should

be

divided

into

10

parts

to

enable

the

user

to

Pinpoint

the

location

of

the

station.

This

would

require

a

dial

scale

which

would

be

longer

than

the

front

panel.

The

logging

scale

which

is

divided

into

100

equal

parts

provides

a

means

of

finding

your

favorite

station,

once

you

have

noted

its

position

on

the

logging’

scale.

For

example,

in

New

York

City,

WQXR

operates

at

96.3

MHz.

After

locating

this

station

through

the

use

of

the

frequency

scale

(between

96

and

98

MHz),

you

find

that

the

pointer

may

fall

on

4.2

on

the

logging

scale.

Make

a

note

of

this

setting,

For

future

tuning

to

WQXR

simply

set

the

pointer

to

4.2

on

the

logging

scale.

EQUALIZATION

In

order

to

achieve

good

reproduction

of

the

wide

range

of

frequencies

in

music

and

to

make

necessary

adjustment

for

the

limitations

of

the

recording

technique,

record

manufacturers

have

found

it

necessary

to

modify

the

actual

frequency

response

of

the

music

while

it

is

being

recorded.

Thus,

to

avoid

overcutting

and

consequent

distortion,

a

measured

and

deliberate

reduction

is

effected

in

low

frequency

response

by

selecting

a

‘turnover

frequency”

and

recording

attenuated

response

below

that

point.

To

assure

optimum

signal

to

noise

at

the

high

frequency

end

when

the

record

is

played

at

home,

the

highs

are

deliberately

exaggerated

during

the

recording

process.

A

measured

and

deliberate

boost

is

affected

above

a

certain

frequency.

This

combination

of

deliberate

exaggeration

at

the

low

and

high

ends

of

the

frequency

spectrum

can

be

expressed

in

a

recording

curve.

When

the

record

is

played

a

mirror

image

of

that

curve

should

be

available

so

that

the

ideal

‘‘flat’’

response

may

be

achieved.

The

PHONO

position of

the

function

switch

automatically

introduces

the

proper

equalization.

HUM

AND

NOISE

In

any

high

fidelity

installation,

hum

may

be

caused

by

the

interconnection

of

a

record

player,

tuner

and

amplifier,

as

a

result

of

the

cables

and

different

grounds,

If

hum

is

experienced

with

your

receiver,

disconnect

everything

but

the

speakers

from

the

receiver.

If

hum

persists,

reverse

the

AC

line

cord.

Plug

in

the

record

player

and

if

hum

appears,

reverse

the

record

player

power

plug

and

connect

a

single

lead

from

the

record

player

chassis

to

the

ground

post

on

the

rear

of

the

receiver

chassis.

Connect

your

other

devices

in

this

manner.

CAUTION:

Hum

may

also

be

induced

by

defective

connecting

cables

or

by

running

these

cables

too

close

to

a

strong

AC

field.
