System and Power Connections
Main Room 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.

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with
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.
Important Note for the Use of
When video sources are connected to the TV directly with a SCART cable, specific control signals 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 signals automatically turning the TV to 4:3/16:9 format (with 16:9 TVs or with 4:3 TVs with selectable 16:9 format) 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 appropriate setting of the TV must be made manually.
Note for RGB signal with SCART:
If you use a unit providing RGB signals on a SCART output (as e.g. most DVD players do) and you want to use that RGB signal, this SCART output must be connected directly to your TV. Although the AVR can switch
RGB signals can be pathed through the AVR only when no separate sync signal is needed (see last ”Video Connection Note” on page 13).
The AVR 235 draws significantly more current than other household devices such as computers that use removable power cords. For that rea- son, it is important that only the cord supplied with the unit (or a direct replacement of identi- cal capacity) be used.
Once the power cord is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR 235’s incredible power and fidelity!
