Component Video Inputs is selected the signal will be sent to these jacks.

Component Video 1 Inputs: These inputs may be used with any source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. The factory default is for these jacks to be a linked to the DVD input, but you may change the setting at any time through the INPUT SETUP menu. See page 15 for more information on configuring the component video inputs.

Note: All component inputs/outputs can be used for RGB signals too, in the same way as described for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the jacks with the corresponding color.

RGB connection is not possible if the source out- puts a separate sync signal (see page 16).

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 AVR’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.

Multiroom IR Input: Connect the output of an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the AVR’s multiroom control system.

Video 1 Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or S-Video jack on a VCR.

Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a VCR or other video source.

Video 2 Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or S-Video jacks on a second VCR.

Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on any video source.

Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a second VCR or other video source.

Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/PDIF output of a compatible com- puter sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player, MD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS signal, a 2 channel MPEG 1 signal, an MP3 data stream or a standard PCM digital source.

Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect the coax digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/PDIF output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player, MD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS signal, a 2 channel MPEG 1 signal, an MP3 data stream or a standard PCM digital source. Do not connect the RF digital output of an LD player to these jacks.

Video 2 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT audio jacks on a VCR or any Audio recorder.

Video 2 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a second VCR or other audio or video source.

Video 3 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on any audio or video source.
