Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs: These speaker terminals are normally used to power the surround back left/surround back right speakers in a 7.1 channel system. However,they may also be used to power the speakers in a second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multiroom system.
To change the output fed to these terminals from the default of the Surround Back speakers to the Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the MULTIROOM MENU of the OSD system. See page 35 for more information on configuring this speaker output. In normal surround system use, the brown and black termi- nals are the surround back left channel positive
(+) and negative
For multiroom use, connect the brown and black SBL terminals to the red and black connections on the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on the right remote zone speaker.
Video 1 Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or
Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or
Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical digital output from a DVD player,HDTV receiver, the output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player,MD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS signal, a 2 channel MPEG 1 signal, or a standard PCM digital source.
Analog 4 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a TV or other audio or video source.
Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or
Remote Input and Output: If the AVR’s
The Output connection permits the IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote controlled devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.
Zone 2 IR Input: Connect the outputof an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the AVR’s multiroom controlsystem.
!Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional, external power amplifier for appli- cations where higher power is desired.
#HDMI Output: Connect this jack to the HDMI input on a compatible
"Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or
$Analog 3 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on any audio or video source.
%HDMI Inputs: Connect the HDMI output of video sources such as a DVD
&Zone 2 Outputs (AVR 355 only): Connect these jacks to an optional audio power amplifier to listen to the source selected by the multiroom system in a remote room.

(Remote IR Carrier Output (AVR 355 only): The output of this jack is the full signal received at the Remote Sensor Window Ó or input through the Remote IR Input including the carrier frequency that is removed from signals at the Remote IR Output . Use this output to extend IR remote signals to the input of compatible products by direct connec- tion or through the use of optional, external IR “blasters”. If you are in doubt as to which of the two IR Output jacks to use, we recommend that you consult with your dealer or installer,or check with the manufacturer of the external equipment you wish to control.
)Video 3 Component Video Inputs (AVR 355 only): These inputs may be used with any source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. Do not use these inputs if HDMI connection is possible, use the HDMI inputs instead.

+Main Power Switch: Press this button ON to apply power to the AVR. When the switch is ON, the unit is placed in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber LED 3. This button MUST be ON to operate the unit. To turn the unit off completely and prevent the use of the remote control, this switch should be pressed OFF.
NOTE: This switch is normally left in the “ON” position.
With the AVR’s powerful processor,you may connect up to three
If your video display has an HDMI input, but some of your sources have only analog video outputs, you may still rely on just the HDMI video connection to your display; the AVR will automatically transcode analog video signals to the HDMI format.
