INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Batteries
Insert the two AA batteries supplied with the CDR 26’s
remote by turning the remote over so that the bottom
of the remote is facing towards you. Gently lift the
plastic tab on the battery cover up and away from
you, and lift the lid off. Insert the batteries in the
remote, being careful to follow the + and – polarity
indications in the bottom of the compartment. Replace
the cover by first seating the two small tabs into the
mating holes at the top of the remote, and then gently
push the cover down until the latch snaps into place
with an audible click.
NOTE: When replacing batteries, it is always a good
idea to replace both at the same time. When the
remote will not be used for an extended period of
time, it is also a good idea to remove the batteries
to avoid the possibility of damage due to corrosion.
Batteries contain chemical substances and we
recommend that you dispose of them properly and
in compliance with any local regulations.
IR Remote Connections
If the CDR 26 is installed behind a cabinet or other
obstruction that may block the path between the front-
panel
Remote Sensor ˆ and the location where
you will use the remote, an optional external IR sensor
may be used. Connect the sensor to the
Remote IR
In Jack
¶ on the rear panel. This jack may also be
connected to the IR Output jack of another compatible
Harman Kardon component or a compatible IR system
remote product.
You may also use the IR sensor in the CDR 26 to
send commands to other compatible remote products.
Connect the
Remote IR Out Jack • to the input of
the other product or system.
Power Connections
Connect the AC Power Cord ª to an AC power
source. The CDR 26 uses sensitive, high-performance
computer-grade CD drives, and to protect them we
recommend that you consider the use of a surge
protector, just as you would for a computer.
If the rear-panel AC outlet on a receiver or other prod-
uct is used, make certain that the total power of all
products connected does not exceed the maximum
rated output of the product containing the outlets.
If the CDR 26 is connected to a switched outlet,
remember to turn on the outlet or product controlling
it in order for the CDR 26 to operate.
