REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
The Bridge II Input: Connect the included Harman Kardon
docking station to this input for use with most docking
iPod models, 4G and later (not included). Turn the receiver off (Standby
mode) when connecting The Bridge II.
6-/8-Channel Inputs: Connect the multichannel analog audio
outputs of a non-HDMI player (DVD-Audio, SACD
™
, Blu-ray Disc
™
or HD-DVD, or any other external decoder) to these jacks.
Zone 2 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier
to power the speakers in the remote zone of a multizone system.
Component Video 1, 2 and 3 Inputs: If a video source has
analog component video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability, and if you are not using
an HDMI connection, connect the component video outputs of the
source to one of the sets of component video inputs. Do not make
any other video connections to that source.
Component Video Monitor Outputs: If you are using one of
the Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is
component-video-capable (but does not have HDMI), connect these
jacks to the video display.
NOTES:
• Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at the
Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected sources.
• Composite and S-video signals are upscaled to as high as
1080i and available at these outputs. If your video display’s
best connection is component video, it is the only video
connection required from the AVR to the display.
RS-232 Serial Port: This specialized connector may be used with
your personal computer in case we offer a software upgrade for the
receiver in the future.
RS-232 Mode: Leave this switch popped out in the Operate position
unless the AVR 3550HD is being upgraded.
RS-232 Reset: This switch is only used during a software upgrade.
Switched AC Accessory Outlet: You may plug the AC power
cord of one source device into this outlet, and it will turn on whenever
you turn on the receiver. Do not use a source that consumes more than
50 watts of power.
AC Power Input: After you have made all other connections, plug the
AC power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
