INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  13

Batteries
Insert the two AA batteries supplied with 
CDR 2’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 always a
good idea to replace both at the same time.
When the remote will not be used for an exten-
ded period of time, it is also a good idea to
remove the batteries to avoid the possibility of
damage due to corrosion. Batteries contain che-
mical substances and we recommend that you
dispose of them properly and in compliance with
any local regulations.

IR Remote Connections
If the CDR 2 is installed behind a cabinet or
other obstruction that may block the path bet-
ween the front-panel Remote Sensor Û 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 con-
nected to the IR Output jack of another compati-
ble Harman Kardon component or a compatible
IR system remote product.

You may also use the IR Sensor in the CDR 2 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 ¤ to an AC
power source. the CDR 2 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
product is used, make certain that it provides at
least 40 watts, and that the total power of all
products connected does not exceed the maxi-
mum rated output of the product containing the
outlets. If the CDR 2 is connected to a switched
outlet, remember to turn on the outlet or pro-
duct controlling it in order for the CDR 2 to ope-
rate.
