10 REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

¡ Video 1 Inputs: Connect these jacks to the
audio and video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR.

™ Video 1 Outputs: Connect these jacks to
the audio and video RECORD/IN jacks of a VCR.

£ AM Antenna: Connect the AM loop antenna
supplied with the receiver to these terminals. If an
external AM antenna is used, make connections to
the AM and GND terminals in accordance with
the instructions supplied with the antenna.

¢ FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor or
an optional external FM antenna to this terminal.

∞ DVD Inputs: Connect the analog audio
outputs and composite or S-video output of a
DVD or LD player to these jacks.

§ 6-Channel Direct Inputs: If an external
digital audio decoder is used, connect the
outputs of that decoder to these jacks.

¶ CD Inputs: Connect these jacks to the
analog output of a compact disc player or CD
changer.

• Multiroom Audio Outputs: Connect these
jacks to the inputs of an optional audio power
amplifier so that the input selected by the
multiroom control system will be heard in a
remote room.

ª Digital Audio Outputs: Connect these
jacks to the matching digital input connector on
a digital recorder such as a CD-R or MiniDisc
recorder. (See also ”Tape Recording” page 28).

‚ Preamp Outputs: If external power
amplifiers are used for any channels, connect
them to these jacks.

⁄ Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to
the line-level input of a powered subwoofer. If
an external subwoofer amplifier is used, connect
this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input.

¤ Multiroom IR Input: Connect the output of
an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to
operate the AVR 300 RDS’s multiroom control
system.

‹ Front-Speaker Teminals: Connect the
front left/right speakers to these terminals.

› Center-Speaker Terminals: Connect the
center speaker to these terminals.

fi Surround-Speaker Terminals: Connect
the surround speakers to these terminals.

NOTE: When making connections to the
Speaker Terminals ‹›fi always be certain
to maintain correct polarity between the
speaker’s terminals and those on the AVR by
connecting red (+) terminals to red and black (–)
terminals to black. (See page 14 for more
information on speaker polarity.)

fl Switched AC Outlet: This outlet may be
used to power any device that you wish to have
turn on when the unit is turned on with the
System Power Control switch 2.

‡ Unswitched AC Outlet: This outlet may be
used to power any AC device. The power will
remain on at this outlet regardless of whether
the AVR 300 RDS is on or off (in Standby),
provided that the Main Power switch 1 is on.

NOTE: The power consumption of the device
plugged into each of these outlets must not
exceed 100 watts with the Unswitched Outlet
‡ and 50 watts with the Switched Outlet fl.

° AC Power Cord: Connect the AC plug to a
nonswitched AC wall output.

· Remote IR Input: If the AVR 300 RDS’s
front-panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet
doors or other obstructions, an external IR
sensor may be used. Connect the output of the
sensor to this jack.

a Video 2 Inputs: Connect these jacks to the
audio and video outputs of a TV Tuner, Cable TV
converter box, satellite receiver or any other
audio/video source.

b TV Monitor Video Output: Connect these
jacks to the composite or S-Video input of a TV
monitor or video projector to view the on-screen
menus and the output of any video source
selected by the receiver’s video switcher.

c Remote IR Output: This connection
permits the IR sensor in the receiver to serve
other remote controlled devices. Connect this
jack to the “IR IN” jack on Harman Kardon or
other compatible equipment.

d Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical
digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
LD player, MD or CD player to these jacks. The
signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a
DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.

e Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect the coax
digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
LD player, MD or CD player to these jacks. The
signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS
signal or a standard PCM digital source.

f Tape Inputs: Connect these jacks to the
PLAY/OUT jacks of an audio recorder.

g Tape Outputs: Connect these jacks to the
RECORD/INPUT jacks of an audio recorder.
