INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Video Equipment Connections
Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio components. Again, the use of
1.Connect a VCR’s, personal video recorder’s or other video source’s audio and video Play/Out jacks to the Video 1/Video 2 Audio/Video and/or
2.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a satellite receiver, cable TV converter, television set or any other video source to the Video 3 Audio/Video and
3.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD Audio/Video and
4.Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the appropriate Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs cf*(.
5.Connect the Video and/or
6.If your DVD player and monitor both have compo- nent video connections, connect the component out- puts of the DVD player to the DVD Component Video Inputs ›. Even when component video con- nections are used, the audio connections should still be made to either the analog DVD Audio Inputs 32 or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Input Jacks cf*(.
7.If another device with component video outputs is available, connect it to the Video 2 Component Video Inputs ‹. The audio connections for this device should be made to either the Video 2 Audio Inputs 35 or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Input Jacks cf*(.
8.If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs fi to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device.
9.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that device to the
Video Connection Notes:
•When the component video jacks are used, the on- screen menus are not visible and you must switch to the standard composite or
•The AVR 230 will accept either standard composite,
•When connecting a video source to the AVR 230, you may use either composite, component or
•When more than one video format is used, it is necessary to make a separate connection from the AVR to your video display for each format. For example, if both composite and component sources are connected to the AVR 230, both the composite and component video monitor outputs fi31 must be connected to the appropriate inputs on your video display.
System and Power Connections
The AVR 230 is designed for flexible use with multi- room systems, external control components and power amplifiers.
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, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect 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.
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
The Switched AC Accessory Outlet ‡ 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 out- lets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.
The Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet ° will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet.
Once the AC Power Cord fl is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR 230’s incredible power and fidelity!
