16 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Installation and Connections
Important Note for the Use of
SCART-Cinch Adapters:
When video sources are connected to the TV
directly with a SCART cable, specific control sig-
nals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed
to the TV. These specific signals are:With all
video sources, the signal for automatic input
selection that switches the TV automatically to
the appropriate input as soon as the video
source is started.And with DVD players, the sig-
nals automatically turning the TV to 16:9 format
(with switchable 4:3 TVs) and turning the RGB
video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on
the DVD player´s setting.With any adapter cable,
these control signals will be lost and the appro-
priate setting of the TV must be made manually.
System and Power Connections
The AVR 2000 is designed for flexible use with
external control components and power ampli-
fiers.
Remote Control Extension
If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked
glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent
the remote sensor from receiving commands. In
this event, the remote sensor of any Harman
Kardon or other compatible device, not covered
by the door, or an optional remote sensor may
be used. Connect the Remote IR Output of
that device or the output of the remote sensor to
the Remote IR Input jack
H
.
If other components are also prevented from
receiving remote commands, only one sensor is
needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote
eye by running a connection from the Remote
IR Output jack
G
to the Remote IR Input
jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible
equipment.
NOTE: All remotely controlled components must
be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the
IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next
to establish this chain.
AC Power Connections
This unit is equipped with two accessory AC out-
lets. They may be used to power accessory
devices, but they should not be used with high-
current draw equipment such as power ampli-
fiers. The total power draw to the Unswitched
Outlet
E
must not exceed 100 watts, that to
the Switched Outlet
D
50 watts.
The Switched
D
outlet will receive power only
when the unit is on completely. This is recom-
mended for devices that have no power switch
or a mechanical power switch that may be left in
the “ON” position.
NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a
Standby mode when they are used with
switched outlets, and cannot be fully turned on
using the outlet alone without a remote control
command.
The Unswitched
E
outlet will receive power
as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC
outlet and the Main Power Switch
1
is on.
Finally, when all connections are complete, plug
the power cord into a nonswitched 220-240-volt
AC wall outlet.You’re almost ready to enjoy the
AVR 2000!
