Harman-Kardon AVR 145 owner manual Installation, Video 1 Source

INSTALLATION

NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections named for that source. For example, you might connect your DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1 digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as “DVD”, and in Step Five of the Initial Setup section you will pro- gram the receiver so that these connections are assigned to the DVD source. When you select “DVD” as your source using the front panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD player will be used.

We recommend connecting your various sources using the connections shown in Table 2 below in order to simplify programming your receiver and remote control. However, you may connect any device to any source input.

Video 1 Source

Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR.

Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio inputs and outputs and to either the Coax 2 or Optical 2 digital audio input (and corresponding digital audio output). Use either the Video 1 S-video or composite video input and output if you wish to make recordings. If you don’t plan on recording, you may use the Component Video 2 inputs.

Remember to connect the audio and video output jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the audio and video input jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 or digital audio output jacks on the AVR.
