REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
HDMI Output: Connect this output to an HDMI input on an HDMI- compatible A/V receiver or video display device. If your A/V receiver or surround processor is capable of decoding audio (typically, these are HDMI “repeater” products with HDMI Version 1.1 or higher), no further audio connection is needed for the main room (Zone 1).
NOTE: If your A/V receiver or video display uses DVI connections, use an optional
Composite and
An
Component Video Outputs: If your A/V receiver, surround processor or video display is not equipped for HDMI or DVI, connect these jacks to the corresponding inputs on the receiver or TV labeled “Y/Pr/Pb” or “Y/Cr/Cb.” If your video display has component input jacks marked “High Definition,” use those jacks. Do not connect the Component Video Output jacks to standard composite video inputs on any device.
Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs: If your A/V receiver or surround processor is not capable of processing the audio from an HDMI stream, connect either of these digital audio outputs (but not both) to the corresponding input on the receiver/processor. Even though the Coaxial Digital Output uses the same
Zone 1 Analog Audio Outputs: If you are not using either HDMI or a separate optical or coaxial digital audio connection for the Zone 1 (Main Room) audio, connect these jacks to the matching inputs on your A/V receiver or surround processor. Connect the left- and
Zone 2/3/4 Analog Audio Outputs: When the DMC 1000 is being used for multizone operation, connect these jacks to the separate Zone inputs on your multiroom controller or hub, or the amplifiers feeding the multizone system.
The Bridge Connection: To use an iPod* as a source for the DMC 1000, enabling you to select and listen to audio content and charge the iPod, connect an optional Harman Kardon The Bridge here.
*For iPod models with a dock connector.
USB Port: This USB port is primarily intended to connect an optional, external USB hard drive to back up the DMC 1000’s Media Library, although it may be used for content playback. DO NOT connect a computer or other host device directly to the DMC 1000.
Auxiliary Inputs: Connect the “Tape Outputs” of an A/V or stereo receiver or a surround processor, or the
Network Jack: Connect this standard RJ45 jack to a broadband network (Ethernet) connection so that you may take full advantage of Gracenote MusicID, including obtaining cover art for stored albums, updating both the database of album information and the system software, and connecting the DMC 1000 to a home network. When the network connection is “live,” the lights on either side of the jack will flash to indicate network activity.
NOTE: When the DMC 1000 is used with an
Remote Infrared (IR) Input and Output: When the
Master Power Switch: Push this switch to the line position ( I) to apply power to the DMC 1000, placing it in the
AC Power Input: Connect the AC power cord supplied with the DMC 1000 to this socket first, and then to an unswitched AC outlet. Should the cord become damaged, contact your authorized Harman Kardon dealer for a replacement.
Fan Vent: This area contains vents used by the DMC 1000’s fans to cool the system. Maintain a clearance of at least three inches to the nearest surface, to avoid overheating the unit.
