DBalanced analog inputs (XLR) for use with all signal sources that output balanced signals. Available via the CD Input function only, as an alternative to the unbalanced RCA jacks (input J). Pin configuration for the XLR Inputs: Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is plus/hot, Pin 3 is minus/cold.

ELeft Speaker output, System 2. F Left Speaker output, System 1. GAC power-cord connection.

HTuner analog-input jacks.

IProcessor analog inputs. These inputs go directly to the power amplifier section of the HK 990, bypassing the Volume and Tone Control. Here you can connect the Front Channel Pre Out L+R signals from an external surround processor, to benefit from the superior power of the HK 990 and control volume from the processor. NOTE: Only use the Processor input with a device that has its own volume control!

JCD analog-input jacks. You can select either this input or the balanced input (D) as analog input in the CD Input Setup mode.

KPhono input for record player with Moving Magnet (high output and high impedance) or High-Output Moving Coil cartridge.

LPhono input for record player with Moving Coil (low output and low impedance) cartridge.

MIf your record player has a separate ground wire, attach it here to avoid hum noise.

NConnect the trigger input (if available) on one or two subwoofers to these Trigger On/ Off output jacks. When you switch on the HK 990, it sends a trigger signal, which switches on the subwoofer. When you switch off the HK 990, the subwoofer also switches off.

OHRS (High-Resolution Synchronization) input. Use the included HRS cable to connect the HD 990 CD player (or other similarly equipped player) for optimum sound quality.

POptical digital inputs (TOSLINK™). Connect any digital device with Optical digital output to one of these inputs. Push the Optical jack through the hinged door that covers the input until it clicks into place.

QCoaxial digital inputs. Connect any digital device with Coaxial digital output to one of these inputs. Usually, Coaxial digital transmission is preferred to optical, given a choice.

RRemote In. To control your HK 990 with an external infrared remote sensor, connect the wire from the remote sensor here.

SRemote Out. Connect other Harman Kardon devices (you may also experiment with other brands) that you wish to control with the HK 990 remote control to this output.
