Harman-Kardon AVR 3550HD owner manual REAR-PANEL Connections

REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

The Bridge II Input: Connect the included Harman Kardon docking station to this input for use with most docking

iPod models, 4G and later (not included). Turn the receiver off (Standby mode) when connecting The Bridge II.

6-/8-Channel Inputs: Connect the multichannel analog audio outputs of a non-HDMI player (DVD-Audio, SACD™, Blu-ray Disc™ or HD-DVD, or any other external decoder) to these jacks.

Zone 2 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier to power the speakers in the remote zone of a multizone system.

Component Video 1, 2 and 3 Inputs: If a video source has analog component video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability, and if you are not using an HDMI connection, connect the component video outputs of the source to one of the sets of component video inputs. Do not make any other video connections to that source.

Component Video Monitor Outputs: If you are using one of the Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is component-video-capable (but does not have HDMI), connect these jacks to the video display.

NOTES:

•Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at the Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected sources.

•Composite and S-video signals are upscaled to as high as 1080i and available at these outputs. If your video display’s best connection is component video, it is the only video connection required from the AVR to the display.

RS-232 Serial Port: This specialized connector may be used with your personal computer in case we offer a software upgrade for the receiver in the future.

RS-232 Mode: Leave this switch popped out in the Operate position unless the AVR 3550HD is being upgraded.

RS-232 Reset: This switch is only used during a software upgrade.

Switched AC Accessory Outlet: You may plug the AC power cord of one source device into this outlet, and it will turn on whenever you turn on the receiver. Do not use a source that consumes more than 50 watts of power.

AC Power Input: After you have made all other connections, plug the

AC power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
