ÜVideo Monitor Outputs: Connect these jacks to the video input of a TV or video projector.

ÝRemote Amplifier Trigger: Using the accessory cable supplied with the PT2500, connect this jack to compatible products such as the PA5800 for automatic turn on/off operation.

ÞAC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an unswitched, wall mounted AC outlet.

ßUnswitched Accessory AC Power Outlet: This outlet provides AC power that may used with any AC device up to 100 watts. The power will remain on at this outlet regardless of whether the PT2500 is on or off.

àSwitched Accessory AC Power Outlet: This outlet provides AC power to connected products only when the PT2500 is turned on. Note that the total current draw of the products may not exceed 100 watts.

¡Remote Control Extension Output: This jack may be connect- ed to other compatible Harman Kardon products so that they will receive infrared commands cap- tured by the PT2500’s remote sen- sor.

áRemote Control Extension Input: If the PT2500’s front panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.

aSurround Channel Outputs: Connect these jacks to the surround channel inputs of a power amplifier or digital audio processor with pass through capability.

bCenter Channel Outputs: Connect the output of one of these jacks to the center channel input of a power amplifier or digital audio processor with pass through capa- bility.

NOTE: In most applications only one center channel connection will be required. The output of both jacks is identical, and either jack may be used for system connections.

cFront Channel Outputs: Connect these jacks to the front left/right channel inputs of a power amplifier or digital audio processor with pass through capability.

dSubwoofer Outputs: Connect these jacks to the line level input of a powered subwoofer, or to the inputs of a subwoofer amplifier.

NOTE: This output is a full range left/right signal. For proper operation BOTH jacks must be connected to the left/right inputs of a powered subwoofer, or a “Y” cable must be used to connect the two outputs together if a single input mono sub- woofer is used.

WARNING: Since this is a full range output, the signal must be sent through a crossover or low pass filter before being used with a passive subwoofer or other speaker that does not contain a built in crossover.

eAM Antenna Input: Connect the AM loop antenna supplied with the PT2500 to these terminals. An exter- nal AM antenna may also be con- nected here.

fFM Antenna Input: Connect an FM antenna to these terminals. Note that a 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter is required for connections from twin lead dipole antennas.
