output connections.) Although the AVR's purple subwoofer output looks similar to a full-range analog audio jack, it is filtered so that only the low frequencies pass through it. Don't connect this output to any device other than a subwoofer. Source Device Connections Audio and video signals - Harman Kardon AVR 1710 | Owners Manual - Page 13
digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both connections. If you are going to be setting up a multizone system (AVR 1710/AVR 171 only), remember that Zone 2 is an audio-only zone (the AVR does not have a Zone 2 video output). Therefore, make analog connections for any audio source devices - Harman Kardon AVR 1710 | Owners Manual - Page 14
Airplay-compatible devices that are connected to the same network. Use a Cat. 5 or Cat. 5E Ethernet cable to connect the AVR's RJ-45 connector to your home network. Making Connections CAUTION: Before making any connections to the audio/video receiver, ensure that the AVR's AC cord is unplugged from - Harman Kardon AVR 1710 | Owners Manual - Page 15
subwoofers. See Manual Speaker Setup: Number of Speakers, on page 31, for information about activating the two subwoofer outputs.
