Installation and Connections

Important Note

Please open the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge Accessory Tool Kit before opening any of the other system components. The Kit contains two pairs of gloves, that can be used to unpack the LCD screen without damaging its frame nor leaving fingerprints on it.

After unpacking the different system components, and placing them on a solid surface capable of supporting their weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment.

Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use the supplied cables when making connections to source equipment and high quality interconnect cables to additional equipment to preserve the integrity of the signals.

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the units from the AC wall outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.

Making the necessary connections to the Digital Lounge system is done in five easy steps.

1. Connect the front, center and surround speaker

outputs

to the respective speakers.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with any appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with the applicable local building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection now carries a specific color code. However, most speakers will still use a red terminal for the postive (+) connection. Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on both the receiver and the speaker.

We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or surround-left and surround-right speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance from the Digital Lounge system controller.

2.Connections to the subwoofer are made via a line level audio connection from the Subwoofer Output to the line-level SUB input (purple) of the subwoofer. Connect at the same time the

Subwoofer Trigger Output

to the Trigger

Input of the subwoofer.

3. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM

(75 ohm) connection . The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the antenna or connec- tion uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.

4.Your system comes with an combined HDMI/SP-DIF/Remote in/out cable to make a dig- ital video connection over HDMI and digital audio connection from the TV to the DVD re- ceiver. Connect the HDMI connector on one end

of the wire to the HDMI Output of the receiv- er and the other end to the HDMI Input J of the screen. Connect the Coaxial Digital connector on one end of the cable to the Coaxial Digital Input of the receiver and the other end to the Coaxial Digital Output H of the screen. Connect one end of the remote connector (the single pin connector) to the Remote Input of the screen and the other end to the Remote Input of the DVD Receiver. Please note that you may run the remote signal both ways. If you decide that it is easiest for you to control both screen and receiver by pointing the remote control towards the screen, plug the remote cable into the Remote Control Out of the screen and into the Remote Control In of the receiver. If your setup makes it more practical to aim the remote at the receiver to control both receiver and screen, plug the remote cable into the Remote Control Out of the receiver and into the Remote Control In of the screen.

5.If you use a standard analog TV antenna, con- nect to the Antenna Input D on the rear panel of the screen. In case you use a DVB-T antenna, connect that one to the DVB-T Input Z on the rear panel of the screen.

All necessary connections are now made. If you have additional source components to add, please refer to the next paragraphs. If not, please continue with the next chapter of the manual.

Optional Analog Set Top or Cable Box Connections

If you do not use an aerial antenna but a set top box or cable box to watch TV, please follow the instructions below to connect these products.

SCART

If you decide to connect your set top or cable box to your system using a Scart cable, connect the Scart output of the set top or cable box to one of the Scart Inputs F on the rear panel of the screen.

YUV/Component

If you decide to connect your set top or cable box to your system using a YUV or Component cable, connect the YUV outputs of the set top or cable box to the YUV Inputs E on the rear panel of the screen. At the same time connect the analog audio outputs of the box to the Audio Input for Component Video Jacks O on the rear panel of the screen, or the digital output of the box to the Coaxial Digital Input P.

S-Video

If you decide to connect your set top or cable box to your system using an S-Video cable, connect the S-Video output of the set top or cable box to the S-Video Input M on the rear panel of the screen. At the same time connect the analog audio outputs of the box to the Audio Input for S-Video Jacks N on the rear panel of the screen, or the digital output of the box to the Coaxial Digital Input P.

Composite

If you decide to connect your set top or cable box to your system using a Composite cable, connect the Composite output of the set top or cable box to the Composite/CVBS Input E on the rear panel of the screen. At the same time connect the analog audio outputs of the box to the Audio Input for Component Video Jacks O on the rear panel of the screen, or the digital output of the box to the Coaxial Digital Input P.

Important Note: The Coaxial Digital Input

Pof the screen will accept only 2-channel PCM signals (see item P on page 13). To listen to the multichannel sound from an optical digital out- put of any external source you can connect it to the Optical Input of the unit, see next page. If your source has only a Coaxial Digital output disconnect the SPDIF cable on the screen (out-

put H) and the unit (input ), connect the screen via the analog audio cable to the unit (Audio Output A on screen to the TV Audio

Input

on the unit). Then connect the coaxial

digital output of your source to the Coaxial

Digital Input

of the unit.
