Rear Panel Connections

￿Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and – terminals on your surround channel speakers. In confor- mance with the new CEA color code specifica- tion, the Blue terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with older color coding, while the Gray terminal should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Right speaker with the older color coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the HS to the matching black negative (–) terminals for each surround speaker. (See page 14 for more information on speaker polarity.)

Note: You’ll find more details about all Audio/Video connections under Setup and Connections on the following pages.

￿Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack to the matching digital input connector on a digital recorder such as a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

￿Subwoofer Trigger Output: Connect this trigger output to the trigger input of the Harman Kardon subwoofer, so that the subwoofer will switch on and off at the same time as the rest of the system.

￿USB On-The-Go Input: This input may be used to temporarily connect a USB thumb device or portable hard disk for direct playback of audio, image of video files, a digital photo camera or a USB hub.

￿HDMI Output: Connect this output to the HDMI input of high-definition LCD, Plasma or video projector for the best possible picture quality.

￿Remote IR Output: This connection permits the IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote controlled devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

￿Remote IR Input: If the HS 350’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.

￿TV Audio Input: If your screen is connected to the HS by an HDMI, Component, S-Video or Composite cable, connect the analog output of your TV to this input. If you have your TV connected to the HS with a Scart cable, an audio connection to the TV Input is not necessary.

￿ Digital Media Player (DMP) Connector: With the HS 350 turned off, connect one end of the optional Harman Kardon to this proprietary connector, and the other to your compatible Apple iPod. When the Digital Media Player source is selected, you may view your iPod’s control and navigation messages on your video display (if one is connected to one of the Video Monitor Outputs ￿￿￿￿￿), and in the Upper and Lower Display Lines E. You may navigate the iPod and select tracks for playback using the /¤//Buttons 9 and the Enter Button 6.
