¡Optical Digital Output: Connect this jack to the optical digital input of an A/V receiver or surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM audio play- back.

™Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack to the coaxial digital input of an A/V receiver or surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM audio playback.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be con- nected to a digital input. Even though it is the same RCA-type connector as standard analog audio con- nections, DO NOT connect it to a conventional analog input jack.

£Analog Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to an audio input on an A/V receiver or surround proces- sor for analog audio playback.

¢Composite Video Output: Connect this jack to the video input on a television or video projector, or to a video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are using that type of device for video input switching.

∞S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the S-Video input on a television or video projector, or to an S- Video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are using that type of device for S-Video input switching.

§Component Video Outputs: These outputs carry the component video signals for connection to display monitors with component video inputs. For standard analog TVs or projectors with inputs marked Y/Pr/Pb or Y/Cr/Cb, connect these outputs to the correspon- ding inputs. If you have a high-definition television

or projector that is compatible with high-scan-rate progressive video, connect these jacks to the HD component inputs. If you are using a progressive scan display device, PROGRESSIVE must be selected in the Video menu in order to take advantage of the progressive scan circuitry. See “Scan Type” section on page 17 for more information on progressive scan video.

IMPORTANT: These jacks should NOT be connected to standard composite video inputs.

¶Remote Control Output: Connect this jack to the infrared (IR) input jack of another compatible Harman Kardon remote controlled product to have the built-in Remote Sensor on the DVD 25 provide IR signals to other compatible products.

•Remote Control Input: Connect the output of a remote infrared sensor, or the remote control output of another compatible Harman Kardon product, to this jack. This will enable the remote control to operate even when the front-panel Remote Sensor on the DVD 25 is blocked. This jack may also be used with compatible IR remote control-based automation systems.

ªAC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an AC out- let. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make certain that it is in the ON position.

NOTE: You’ll find more details about all audio/video connections under Setup and Connections on the following pages.
