Installation and Connections

VIDEO CONNECTION NOTE: Composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats. S-Video inputs may only be viewed when the AVR 110 is connected to a TV set or video display with S-Video capability.

System and Power Connections

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.

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 110!
