°Subwoofer Output Connect this jack to the line level mono input of an optional powered sub- woofer, or the audio input of an external amplifier used to drive a passive subwoofer. If you are using a passive subwoofer that has both left and right inputs and no indication of which to use for mono subwoofer inputs, it is advisable that a “Y” cable be used so that the signal is fed to both inputs.

¤RS-232 Control Port: This jack is provided to permit operation of the Signature 2.0 by computers or home automation systems. The use of this control port requires additional optional software and it is strongly recommended that a Harman Kardon dealer be consulted before any connections are made.

¦IR Input: If the 2.0’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.

¥IR Output: This jack may be connected to other compatible Harman Kardon products so that they will receive infrared commands captured by the 2.0’s remote sensor.

»Trigger Output: If a compatible Signature Series or Harman Kardon audio power amplifier will be used with the 2.0, connect the amplifier connection cable supplied with the 2.0 between this jack and the “Trigger Input” of the amplifier. When connected by a properly trained dealer or installer, this output may also be used to control other devices designed to accept a 6- to 12-volt “Power On” trigger signal, such as projection television screens or automatic blinds. The MAXIMUM current draw for all circuits connected to this output is 150 milliamperes.

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

ÚS-Video Record Output: Connect this jack to the S-Video “REC-IN” input of a VCR.

ÛS-Video Main Output: Connect this jack to the S-Video input of the TV, video monitor, projector or display that will be used to view the On-Screen Control Menus of the 2.0 along with any selected S-Video input.

ÜS-Video Inputs: Connect the output of S-Video sources to these input jacks. Once the inputs have been connected they may be assigned to any of the 2.0’s seven source positions using the Source Menu (see figure OSD-5 on page 27).

ÝComposite Video Record Output: Connect this jack to the composite video “REC-IN” input of a VCR.

ÞComposite Video Main Output: Connect this jack to the composite video input of a TV set, video monitor, projection television or other video display device that will be used to view the On-Screen Control Menus of the 2.0 along with the selected video input.

ßComposite Video Inputs: Connect the output of composite video sources to these input jacks. Once the inputs have been connected they may be assigned to any of the 2.0’s source positions using the Source Menu (see figure OSD-5 on page 27).

àOptical Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the

Optical (TosLink) digital audio output of audio sources to these jacks. Once the inputs have been connected they may be assigned to any of the 2.0’s source positions using the Source Menu (see figure OSD-5 on page 27).

¡Coax Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the coax

digital audio output of audio sources to these jacks. Once the inputs have been connected they may be assigned to any of the 2.0’s source positions using the Source Menu (see figure OSD-5 on page 27).

áAM Antenna Input: Connect the AM loop antenna supplied with the 2.0 to these terminals. An external AM antenna may also be connected here.

aFM Antenna Input: Connect an FM antenna

to these terminals. Note that the supplied 300-ohm to 75-ohm adapter is required for connections from twin- lead dipole antennas.
