Signature 2.0

NOTE: The 2.0’s input switching system will convert S-Video inputs for display on a standard composite video monitor, but it will NOT convert composite video signals to the S-Video format. If your system uses a mix of both standard and S-Video it is easiest to make connections only to the standard video input of a monitor, although that will remove the signal quality benefits of an “S” connection. If both types of connections are made, it is necessary to switch your video display from composite to “S” so that the monitor’s input matches the output of the device chosen by the 2.0.

Record Outputs

Connect the audio Record Outputs £ to the Record/ In jacks of an audio or video recorder. You may connect the 2.0 to two different recorders, (e.g., an audio cassette deck or Mini Disc and a VCR), but the same signal will be fed to both recorders.

Connect the Composite Video and S-Video Record Outputs Ý Ú to the Record/In jacks on a VCR or other video recording device.

System Accessory Connections

If the IR sensors on some of the other pieces of equipment in your system are blocked by cabinet doors or other obstructions, the IR signals received by the 2.0 may be fed to compatible devices by connecting the IR Output ¥ to the IR Input of other devices.

When the 2.0’s internal Remote Sensor Window ! is blocked, connect an external sensor to the IR Input ¦, or connect that jack to the IR output of another com- patible device that the remote can “see.”

You may also connect both the IR Input ¦ and the IR Output ¥ to other devices so that the IR signal path is daisy-chained.

If the 2.0 will be used in a system with an optional Signature Series or Harman Kardon amplifier with a turn-on trigger, or other compatible products, connect the trigger connection cable by plugging one end into the Trigger Output », and the other end into the Trigger Input of the amplifier or accessory device.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When using the trigger with a device other than a Harman Kardon Signature Series product it is important to make certain that the trigger voltages and connection polarities are compatible. Consult your dealer or Harman Kardon for more information about specialized connections with the 2.0’s trigger output. Mismatched trigger connections may cause damage to equipment that is not covered by factory warranties.

When all of these connections are made only one more important connection needs to be made: plug the AC Power Cord â into a non-switched AC output, but do not turn the 2.0 on quite yet. You are almost ready to enjoy the Signature Series 2.0.
