Connect a CD Player or Any Audio-Only Device
If the CD player or other component has a digital audio output, connect it to any available digital audio input on the AVR. If not, connect the CD player’s left and right analog audio outputs to the CD Audio Inputs. No video connection is required, but the AVR will display the

NOTE: A turntable may only be connected to the AVR if it is equipped with an internal phono preamp, or if you supply an external phono preamp, available at some audio specialty stores or through the Harman Kardon Parts Dept. You may then connect it to any set of analog audio inputs.
Connect a Tape Deck or Any Audio-Only Recorder
If the recorder has digital audio inputs and outputs, connect either its coaxial or optical digital audio output (not both) to the corresponding available input on the AVR, and connect the AVR’s Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the recorder’s coaxial digital audio input.
To make analog audio recordings, connect the recorder’s left and right analog audio outputs to the Tape Inputs on the AVR, and the recorder’s analog audio inputs to the AVR’s Tape Outputs.
No video connection is required, although the AVR will display the last- selected analog video source when the Tape source is selected. See Figure 30.

Connecting a Game Console, Camera or Other Device
If a device will only be connected temporarily, you may use the Video 3 Inputs on the front panel. When not in use, place the supplied covers over the Video 3 jacks for a cleaner appearance by snapping the covers in place. To remove the covers, gently press on the left side of each cover so that it pivots out.
Video Components: Install video components, e.g., game consoles and camcorders, as follows (see Figure 32):
•Connect the component’s
•Connect the component’s optical or coaxial digital audio output to either the Optical 3 or Coaxial 3 Input on the front panel (if available). For fully analog devices, connect the device’s analog audio outputs to the AVR’s Video 3 Audio Inputs.
