System and Power Connections
The AVR65 is designed for flexible use with external control components and power amplifiers. These connections are easy to make during an initial installa- tion, or at a later date should you choose to upgrade your system.
Remote Control Extension
If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruc- tion may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote Cont. In jack a.
If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. They may use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote Cont. Out jack b to the Remote In jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.
External Audio Power Amplifier Connections
If desired, optional external power audio power amplifiers may be used with the AVR65. Connections to these amplifiers are made by using audio interconnect cables connected to both the Preamp Outputs ¥ on the rear panel and the audio input jacks of the external amplifiers.
External Audio Decoder Connection To provide for the ultimate flexibility, the AVR65 may be used in conjunction with optional, external decoders for digital audio systems other than the AVR65’s
own
These jacks may also be used for connec- tions to devices such as DVD players or High Definition Television (HDTV) sets or decoders that feature
