Harman-Kardon DVD 38 manual Remote IR Input and Output

CONNECTIONS

•If you are using the DVD 38 with a multiroom receiver/ processor that is capable of distributing video, connect the DVD 38’s Composite Video Output to the receiver in addition to the HDMI, Component Video or S-Video Output.

If it’s available on your video display, HDMI is recommended as the best-quality connection, followed in preference by component video, S-video and then composite video. Except as indicated above for use in a multiroom system, do not connect more than one video output from the DVD 38 to another device.

Remote IR Input and Output

The DVD 38 is equipped with an infrared input and output to facilitate use of your system with a remote control in a variety of situations.

When the DVD 38 is placed in such a way that aiming the remote at the front-panel IR sensor is difficult, such as inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, you may connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack.

If your receiver or any of your other components are equipped with a compatible remote IR input, you may use the included 1/8" mini-plug interconnect cable to connect the Remote IR Output to the device’s remote IR input, which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted through the DVD 38 to the other device. This enables you to control your devices even when the DVD 38 itself is controlled via an external IR receiver.

To control more than one device using the Remote IR Output, connect all devices in “daisy chain” fashion, with the receiver’s remote IR output connected to the DVD 38’s Remote IR input, then the DVD 38’s Remote IR Output connected to the next device’s remote IR input, that device’s remote IR output connected to the next device’s remote IR input, and so forth.

NOTE: Not all remote controllable devices are equipped with compatible IR inputs and outputs. Check with the manufacturer of the source device for more information on the type of IR signal expected. The DVD 38 will output a “stripped carrier” IR signal.
