Rear Panel Connections

¤Video Monitor Outputs: Connect this jack to the composite or S-Video input of a TV monitor or video projector to view the on-screen menus and the output of any standard video source selected by the receiver’s video switcher.

‹DVD Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the composite or S-Video output jacks on a DVD or other video source.

›Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + or – terminals on your left and right speakers. When making speaker connections always make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting the red

(+) terminals on the AVR 520 to the red (+) ter- minals on the speakers and the black (–) termi- nals on the AVR 520 to the black (–) terminals on the speakers. See page 16 for more informa- tion on speaker polarity.

fiCenter Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and – terminals on your center channel speaker. In conformance with the new CEA color code specification, the Green Terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red (+) termi- nal on speakers with the older color coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the black negative (–) terminal on your speaker. (See page 16 for more information on speaker polarity.)

flSurround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and – termi- nals on your surround channel speakers. In con- formance with the new CEA color code specifi- cation, the Blue terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal that should be connected to the red

(+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with older color coding, while the Gray terminal should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Right speaker with the older color coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the matching black negative (–) termi- nals for each surround speaker. (See page 17 for more information on speaker polarity.)

‡Switched AC Accessory Outlet: This outlet may be used to power any device you wish to have turned on when the AVR 520 is turned on with the System Power Control Button 2.

°Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet: This outlet may be used to power any AC device. The power will remain on at this outlet regard- less of whether the AVR 520 is on or off.

NOTE: The total power consumption of all devices connected to the accessory outlets should not exceed 100 watts.

·AC Power Cord: Connect the AC plug to an unswitched AC wall output.

aVideo 2 Component Video Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of an HDTV Set-top convertor, satellite receiver, or other video source device with component video outputs to these jacks.

bComponent Video Outputs: Connect these outputs to the component video inputs of a video projector or monitor. When a source connected to one of the two Component Video Inputs ac is selected the signal will be sent to these jacks.

cDVD Component Video Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of a DVD player to these jacks.

dRemote IR Output: This connection per- mits 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.

eRemote IR Input: If the AVR 520’s front- panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.

fMultiroom IR Input: Connect the output of an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the AVR 520’s multiroom control system.

gVideo 1 Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or S-Video jack on a VCR.

hVideo 1 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a VCR or other video source.

iVideo 2 Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or S-Video jacks on a VCR.

jVideo 3 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a VCR or other video source.

kVideo 2 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on a VCR or other video source.

31Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the opti- cal digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.

32Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect the coax digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS signal or a stan- dard PCM digital source. Do not connect the RF digital output of an LD player to these jacks.

33Video 2 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT audio jacks on a VCR or other video source.

34Video 2 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a VCR or other video source.

35Video 3 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a VCR or other video source.

36Video 1 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a VCR or other video source.

37Video 1 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT audio jacks on a VCR.

38Preamp Outputs: When the jumper pins that link the Amplifier Inputs 39 with these outputs are removed, these jacks may be con- nected to an external power amplifier.

39Amplifier Inputs: When the jumper pins that link the Preamp Outputs 38 with these inputs are removed, these jacks may be used to connect an external source or the AVR 520’s multiroom system to the internal amplifiers.
