 6-Channel Audio Outputs

 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.
 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

 or the Coaxial Digital Audio

 to a corresponding digital audio

input on your receiver or processor, but not both.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 Component Video Outputs: These out-
puts 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 correspon-
ding inputs. If you have a high-definition televi-
sion 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 19 for more
information on progressive scan video.

IMPORTANT: These jacks should NOT be
connected to standard composite video inputs.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 Analog Audio Output: Connect these
jacks to an audio input on an A/V receiver or
surround processor for analog audio playback.
 HDMI Output: If you have an HDMI-com-
patible receiver or video display device, connect
this output to an HDMI input on the receiver or
video display for the highest-quality uncom-
pressed 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.

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

to the corresponding input jacks on your receiver
or processor. These formats are not output digi-
tally.
 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

, Optical  or Coaxial Dgital

 or the Analog Audio

.

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