Connect the Remote IR Input

The BDS receiver is equipped with a Remote IR Input connector that lets you remotely control the receiver when you place it inside a cabinet or in a location that is out of the line of sight of the remote control. Connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the receiver's Remote IR Input connector.

Connect the Subwoofer Trigger Output

If your system has equipment that can be controlled by a DC trigger signal, connect it to the receiver’s Subwoofer Trigger connector with a mono 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mini-plug interconnect cable (not supplied). The receiver will supply a 12V DC (100mA) trigger signal at this connection whenever it is powered on.

Connecting the AC Power

The BDS receiver comes with a detachable AC power cord. This type of cord makes it easier for you to install and connect all other system wiring to the receiver’s rear panel. The subwoofer has a non-detachable power cord.

NOTES:

•• The power requirement for the BDS receiver is 110V – 240V AC, 50/60Hz, 130W (BDS 570 receiver) or 90W (BDS 270 receiver). Connecting to a power source other than the ones listed may damage the receiver or cause abnormal operation.

•• Before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet, confirm that you have correctly made all of the speaker connections, video connections and audio- component connections.

Connect the female end of the receiver’s detachable power cord to the receiver’s AC Power connector. Plug the other end into a working, unswitched AC outlet.

Receiver

Set the receiver’s Main Power switch to the “On” position. The receiver’s Power indicator will turn amber, indicating that the receiver is in the Standby mode.
