Installation and Connections

System and Power Connections

The AVR 3000 is designed for flexible use with external control components and power ampli- fiers.

Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, the remote sensor of any Harman Kardon or other compatible device, not covered by the door, or an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the Remote IR Output of that device or the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input jack .

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote IR Output jack to the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

NOTE: All remotely controlled components must be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish this chain.

External Audio Power Amplifier

Connections

If desired, the AVR 3000 may be connected to optional, external audio power amplifiers.

When an external amplifier is used, connect the Preamp Out jacks to the inputs on the amplifier. Note that when external amplifiers or devices are used, the volume control is still con- trolled by the AVR, although additional volume controls on the external device may impact the volume settings and output levels from the AVR.

External Audio Decoder Connection

To provide for ultimate flexibility, the AVR 3000 may be used in conjunction with optional, exter- nal decoders for digital audio systems other than the AVR 3000’s own built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding system or with DVD players hav- ing those decoders integrated. If an external decoder is used, connect the output jacks of the decoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs , making sure to match channels.

These jacks may also be used for connections to devices such as DVD players or High Definition Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature built-in digital surround decoders. Although the digital decoding system in the AVR 3000 will typi- cally provide audio performance that is superior to other decoders, you may use these jacks to provide an additional 6-channel input for connection to a DVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoder and discrete 6-channel analog outputs.

AC Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC out- lets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with high- current draw equipment such as power ampli- fiers. The total power draw to the Unswitched

Outlet

must not exceed 100 watts, that to

the Switched Outlet

50 watts.

The Switched outlet will receive power only when the unit is on completely. This is recom- mended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.

The Unswitched outlet will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet and the Main Power Switch 1is on.

Finally, when all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a nonswitched 220-240-volt AC wall outlet. You’re almost ready to enjoy the AVR 3000!
