Installation and Connections
Important Note for the Use of
When video sources are connected to the TV directly with a SCART cable, specific control sig- nals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed to the TV. These specific signals are: With all video sources, the signal for automatic input selection that switches the TV automatically to the appropriate input as soon as the video source is started. And with DVD players, the sig- nals automatically turning the TV to 16:9 format (with switchable 4:3 TVs) and turning the RGB video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable, these control signals will be lost and the appro- priate setting of the TV must be made manually.
System and Power Connections
The AVR 2000 is designed for flexible use with external control components and power ampli- fiers.
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 commands. In this event, the remote sensor of any Harman Kardon or other compatible device, not covered by the door, or an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the Remote IR Output of that device or the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input jack .
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 to the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.
NOTE: All remotely controlled components must be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish this chain.
AC Power Connections
This unit is equipped with two accessory AC out- lets. 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 the Unswitched
Outlet | must not exceed 100 watts, that to | |
the Switched Outlet | 50 watts. | |
The Switched outlet will receive power only when the unit is on completely. This is recom- mended 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 outlet will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet and the Main Power Switch 1is on.
Finally, when all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a nonswitched
