Installation and Connections

Video Connection Note:

•Composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats. However, S-Video sig- nals will be converted to standard, composite video, and are viewable through the Video Monitor Output Ü.

System and Power Connections

The AVR 210 is designed for flexible use with multiroom systems, external control compo- nents and power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control Extension If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving com- mands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input jack a.

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote IR Output jack á to the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other com- patible equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any cables run inside walls should be CL3/FT4 rated, or carry any other certi- fication that is required by the NEC or state and local building and electrical codes. To avoid inter- ference, audio and speaker cables should not be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path with, AC cables. If you have any questions about multiroom wiring, consult your dealer, custom installer or low-voltage electrical contractor.

External Audio Power Amplifier Connections

If desired, the AVR 210 may be connected to optional, external audio power amplifiers.

When an external amplifier is used, connect the Preamp Output jacks Ú to the inputs on the external amplifier. Note that when external amplifiers are used, the volume control is still controlled by the AVR 210, although additional volume controls on the external device may impact the volume settings and output levels from the AVR 210.

External Audio Decoder Connection

To provide for ultimate flexibility, the AVR 210 may be used in conjunction with optional, external decoders for digital audio systems other than the AVR 210’s own built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding system or with DVD players using the DVD Audio Format. If an external decoder is used, connect the output jacks of the decoder to the 6-Channel Direct inputs », making sure to match channels.

These jacks may also be used for connections to devices such as DVD players or High Definition Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature built-in digital surround decoders. Although the digital decoding system in the AVR 210 will typi- cally provide audio performance that is superior to other decoders, you may use these jacks to provide an additional 6-channel input for connec- tion to a DVD player or HDTV set with a built-in decoder and discrete 6-channel analog outputs.

AC Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with high- current draw equipment such as power ampli- fiers. The total power draw to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.

The Switched AC Accessory outlet ß will receive power only when the unit is on. This is recommended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.

The Unswitched AC Accessory outlet à will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet.

Finally, when all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a nonswitched 110-volt AC wall outlet. You’re almost ready to enjoy the AVR 210!
