Connect the Radio Antennas
• Connect the supplied FM antenna to the AVR’s FM 751 Radio Antenna connector. For
the best reception, extend the FM antenna as far as possible.
• Bend and fold the base of the supplied AM antenna as shown and connect the antenna
wires to the AVR’s AM and Gnd connectors. (You can connect either wire to either
connector.) Rotate the antenna as necessary to minimize background noise.

Connect IR Equipment
The AVR’s Remote IR Input and Output connectors let you remotely control the AVR in a
variety of situations:
• When you place the AVR inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, connect an
external IR receiver, such as the Harman Kardon HE 1000 (available separately), to the
AVR’s IR Remote In connector.

• If any source devices are equipped with a compatible IR input connector, use a 1/8-
inch (3.5mm) mini-plug interconnect cable (not included) to connect the AVR’s IR
Remote Out jack to the source device’s IR input connector.

To control more than one source device through the AVR’s IR Remote Out connector,
connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, connecting each device’s IR output
connector to the next device’s IR input connector, starting with the AVR.
