 Optical Digital Output: Connect this jack 

to the optical digital input of an A/V receiver or 
surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTs or PCM audio 
playback.

1

 Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack 

to the coaxial digital input of an A/V receiver or 
surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTs or PCM audio 
playback.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be 
connected to a digital input. Even though it is the 
same RCA-type connector as standard  analog audio 
connections, Do NoT connect it to a conventional 
analog input jack.

Connect either the Optical Digital Audio Output 
0

 or the Coaxial Digital Audio Output 1 to a 

corresponding digital audio input on your receiver or 
processor, but not both.

2

 AC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an AC 

outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make 
certain that it is in the oN position.

3

 Composite Video Output: Connect this jack to 

the video input on a television or video projector, or to 
a video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are 
using that type of device for video input switching.

4

 S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the 

s-Video input on a television or video projector, or 
to an s-Video input on an A/V receiver or processor 
if you are using that type of device for s-Video input 
switching. Please note that the AVR Receiver in your 
system does not accept s-Video signals. Use composite 
or component connection instead.

5

 Component Video Outputs: These outputs 

carry the component video signals for  connection to 
display monitors with component video inputs. for 
standard analog TV's or  projectors with inputs marked 
y/Pr/Pb or y/Cr/Cb, connect these outputs to the 
corresponding inputs. If you have a high-definition 
television or projector that is compatible with high 
scan rate progressive video, connect these jacks to the 
“HD Component” inputs. Note that if you are using a 
progressive scan display device, then ”Progressive” 
must be selected in the Video  set-up Menu in order 

to take advantage of the  progressive scan circuitry. 
see page 39 for more information on progressive scan 
video.

IMPORTANT: These jacks should NoT be  connected to 
standard composite video inputs.

0

 SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a sCART socket, 

you can connect a sCART cable to your TV and to 
your DVD Player for improved video quality. The 
sCART cable carries both audio and video. you can 
select Composite Video or RGb video for that sCART 
connector’s video output signal.

7

 Remote Control Output: Connect this jack 

to the infrared (IR) input jack of another compatible 
Harman Kardon remote controlled product to have the 
built-in Remote sensor on the DVD provide IR signals 
to other compatible products.

8

 Remote Control Input: Connect the  output 

of a remote infrared sensor, or the remote control 
output of another compatible Harman Kardon product, 
to this jack. This will enable the remote control to 
operate even when the front panel Remote Sensor 
on the DVD is blocked. This jack may also be used 
with  compatible IR remote control-based automation 
systems.

9

 Analog Audio Output: Connect these jacks to an 

audio input on an A/V receiver or surround processor 
for analog audio playback.

A

 HDMI Output: If you have an HDMI-compatible 

receiver or video display device, connect this output 
to an HDMI input on the receiver or video display for 
the highest-quality uncompressed digital audio and 
video available. Even if your receiver is not capable of 
processing audio in the HDMI format, you may still 
experience the superb reproduction of HDMI video.

The AVR Receiver in your system can switch between 
three HDMI inputs and send the video signal to your 
screen from its HDMI output. No audio processing 
takes place in the Receiver via HDMI, so no sound 
will be heard if only HDMI is connected. The Audio 
information is best transmitted from the DVD Player's 
Coaxial Digital output to the AVR Receiver's Coaxial 
Digital Input. Alternatively, you may use the optical 
Digital Connection, or the Analog Audio connections.

If your video display has a DVI input, you may use 
an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for the 
connection to the display. In all cases, the video 
display must be HDCP-compliant in order to use the 
HDMI output. for best results, we do not recommend 
HDMI connections in excess of ten feet.

The following audio formats may be output via the 
HDMI connection:

Audio CD – 2-Channel PCM or 5.1-channel DTs 
DVD-Audio – 2-Channel PCM  
DVD-Video – Up to 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTs

Note: To hear the high-resolution surround sound 
recorded on DVD-Audio discs, you need to connect the 
6-Channel Audio Outputs B to the corresponding 
input jacks on your receiver or processor. These formats 
are not output digitally.

B

 6-Channel Audio Outputs: Connect these 

outputs to the matching 6-channel analog 
audio inputs on your receiver or surround sound 
processor. This connection is required to listen to the 
multichannel tracks on DVD-Audio discs. If the disc 
also contains a linear PCM, Dolby Digital or DTs track, 
you may listen to it using the HDMI A, Optical 0 
or Coaxial Digital Audio Output 1 or the Analog 
Audio Outputs 9.

Note: you’ll find more details about all Audio/Video 
connections under setup and Connections on the 
following pages.
