INSTALLATION
Figure 24 – Tape Audio Inputs and Outputs, and Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs
Remember to connect the output jacks on your recorder to the Tape or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the input jacks on your recorder to the Tape or digital audio output jacks on the AVR.
No video connections are made, although if your system has unusual requirements, you may connect a video device using component video outputs to the component Video 2 inputs on the receiver, if those jacks are not in use by another device.
TheBridgeTM
With Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge, you can listen to audio stored on your iPod (not included), use your AVR 145 remote control to operate the iPod, and even charge the iPod while it’s docked in The Bridge.
Simply plug the proprietary cable from The Bridge into the special The Bridge/DMP connector on the rear of the AVR 145’s. Refer to the owner’s manual for The Bridge to select the appropriate insert to match your iPod.

Step Five – Connect Video Display
Only video connections should be made between the receiver and your video display (TV), unless your TV is the source for your television pro- gramming (see note above).
You will need to make a video connection for each type of video used for your sources. In addition, even if you didn’t use
First, determine what types of video your display is capable of handling. Remember that component video is preferred, followed by
Next, note which types of video connections you used for your source devices. Make sure you didn’t use a better type of video connection for a source than your video display can handle. If so, you will need to dis- connect the source and use a video connection that’s compatible with your display.
If you used component video for any sources, connect the Component Video Monitor outputs on the receiver to one set of component video inputs on your display. Make a note of how these inputs are labeled on the display.

If you used
If you used composite video for any sources, connect the composite video Monitor output on the receiver to a composite video input on the display. Again, make a note of how this input is labeled on the display.
Figure 27 –
Consult the manual for your TV to make sure you understand how to select each video input. As you play different source devices that use different types of video connections, you will need to remember to select the correct video input on your video display.
Step Six – Plug in AC Power
Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to plug each component’s AC power cord into a working outlet.
You may plug one device into the AC Switched Accessory Outlet on the rear of the AVR 145. Make sure this device draws no more than 50 watts. The device should have its mechanical or master power switch turned on, and it will power on any time the AVR 145 is turned on.
Figure 28 – Switched AC Accesssory Outlet
Before plugging the AVR 145’s AC Power Cord into an electrical outlet, make sure that the Master Power Switch on the front panel is popped out so that the word OFF appears on its top. Gently press the button to turn the switch off. This will prevent the possibility of damaging the AVR in case of a transient power surge.
Step Seven – Insert Batteries in Remote
The AVR 145 remote control uses three AAA batteries, which are included.
To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly press the ridged depression and slide the cover towards the top of the remote.
