Signature 2.0

System Installation

The 2.0 may also be connected to an optional, external audio processor or decoder that accommodates digital systems the 2.0 cannot handle internally. The analog output connections from any external processor should be made to the 6-CH Direct Inputs Á.

Video Inputs

Video source connections are made to either the Composite Video or S-Video Inputs ß Ü. When connecting an audio/video device such as a VCR or DVD it is a good idea to make all connections to the same input number, (e.g., Video 1, Analog Audio 1, Digital Audio 1) although any input number may be used as long as you keep a note of which source is connected to each numbered video input.

Once audio or video connections are made, they may be matched with any other connection. They may also be used with more than one input profile. For example, the video output of a VCR or cable box may be used both with the VCR’s own audio source for normal play- back, but it may also be used with the 2.0’s built-in tuner so that, for example, you may watch the video of a sports broadcast along with the commentary from a radio station using the simulcast feature.

System and Accessory Inputs

Assemble the AM loop antenna as shown below. Connect it to the AM Antenna Inputs á on the rear panel.

Connect the FM antenna to the FM (75 ohm) connection a. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire-lead antenna, or a connection from a cable TV system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must use the 300-ohm to 75-ohm adapter supplied with the unit to make the connection.

If the 2.0’s front panel remote sensor is blocked by cabinet doors or other obstructions, an optional, external IR sensor may be connected to the IR Input ¦. If you are connecting multiple products to the same sensor, in some applications the “IR In” may be connected to the IR output of another compatible Harman Kardon product. Consult your dealer or custom installer if you have questions concerning the use of the IR input.

An RS-232 Input ¤ is provided for use with custom remote systems. Connections to this input jack should ONLY be made by installers who are specially trained in its use.

Output Connections

Audio Outputs

Using high-quality audio interconnect cables, connect the Main Channel Audio Outputs ¢ to matching audio inputs of your audio power amplifier for the left, center, right, right surround and left surround channels. Connect the power amplifier to the speakers in accordance with the instructions provided by the amplifier and speaker manufacturers.

Connections from the Subwoofer Output ° should be made to the mono line level input of a powered sub- woofer or to the input of an audio power amplifier used to power a passive subwoofer. In the event that the input of the powered subwoofer has both left and right line level inputs, consult the instructions provided with the subwoofer to determine which input should be used, or if any other special connection is required.

For Subwoofers with a stereo input only, it may be necessary to use an optional “Y” cable. Consult the Subwoofer’s instructions or your dealer for additional information.

Video Outputs

Using high-quality video interconnect cables with a coaxial-style construction, connect the Composite Video Main Output Þ and/or S-Video Main Output Û to the video or S-Video inputs of your TV, projector, video monitor or other video display device or processor.
