INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

your television so that you may take advantage of

the fact that the remote control is preprogrammed

with television product codes for the Video 3

device.

IMPORTANT:

If you are only using the tel-

evision as a display device (i.e., if you receive your

television programs through a cable box or satellite

receiver), do not connect the TV’s outputs to the

Video 3 Audio/Video

and

S-Video Input Jacks

, or to any other inputs on the AVR 335.

4. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of

a DVD or laser disc player to the

DVD Audio/

Video and S-Video Inputs

e

.

5. Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player,

satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to

the appropriate

Optical

or

Coaxial Digital Inputs

dg

*(

.

6. Connect the

Video and/or S-Video Monitor

Output

c

jacks on the receiver to the com-

posite or S-video input of your television monitor

or video projector.

7. If your DVD player and monitor both have

component video connections, connect the com-

ponent outputs of the DVD player to the

DVD

Component Video Inputs

›

. Even when com-

ponent video connections are used, the audio con-

nections should still be made to either the analog

DVD Audio Inputs

or any of the

Optical

or

Coaxial Digital Input Jacks

dg

*(

.

8. If another device with component video outputs is

available, connect it to the

Video 2 Component

Video Inputs

‹

. The audio connections for this

device should be made to either the

Video 2

Audio Inputs

or any of the

Optical

or

Coaxial Digital Input Jacks

dg

*(

.

9. If the component video inputs are used, connect

the

Component Video Monitor Outputs

‹

to

the component video inputs of your TV, projector

or display device.

10. If you have a camcorder, video game or other

device that is connected to the AVR on a tempo-

rary rather than permanent basis, connect its

audio, video and digital audio outputs to the

Front-Panel Inputs

*(ÓÔ

. A device

connected here is selected as the Video 4 input,

and the digital inputs must be assigned to the

Video 4 input. (See page 17 for more information

on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

• When the component video jacks are used, the on-

screen menus are not visible and you must switch

to the standard composite or S-video input on your

TV to view them.

• The AVR 335 will accept either standard composite,

S-video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals.

However, it will not convert any of these signals do

a different format.

• When connecting a video source to the AVR 335,

you may use composite, component or S-video,

but only one type of video may be connected for

each device.

• When more than one video format is used, it is

necessary to make a separate connection from

the AVR to your video display for each format.

For example, if both composite and component

sources are connected to the AVR 335, both the

Composite

and

Component Video Monitor

Outputs

‹

must be connected to the appro-

priate inputs on your video display.

System and Power Connections

The AVR 335 is designed for flexible use with multi-

room systems, external control components and

power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked

glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the

remote sensor from receiving commands. In this

event, an optional remote sensor may be used.

Connect the output of the remote sensor to the

Remote IR Input

¢

jack.

If other components are also prevented from receiving

remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply

use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a

connection from the

Remote IR Output

§

jack to

the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other

compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to

the AVR 335 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR con-

nection cable into the

Multiroom IR Input

∞

jack on

the AVR 335’s rear panel.

If Harman Kardon-compatible source equipment is part

of the main room installation, the

Remote IR

Output

§

jack on the rear panel should be connected

to the

IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the

remote room sensor to control that equipment.

Multiroom Connections

The AVR 335 is equipped with multizone capabilities

that allow it to send a separate audio source to the

remote zone from the one selected for use in the

main room.

Depending on your system’s requirement, three

options are available for audio connection:

Option 1:

Use high-quality, shielded audio intercon-

nect cable from the AVR 335’s location to the remote

room. In the remote room, connect the interconnect

cable to a stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be

connected to the room’s speakers. At the AVR 335,

plug the audio interconnect cables into the

Multiroom

Audio Output

¡

jacks on the AVR 335’s rear panel.

Option 2:

Connect the

Multiroom Audio Output

¡

jacks on the AVR 335 to the inputs of an optional

stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire

from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3:

Taking advantage of the AVR 335’s built-in

seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the

amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote

room. When using this option you will not be able to

use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the AVR 335 in

the main listening room, but you will be able to add

another listening room without additional external

power amplifiers. To use the internal amplifiers to

power a remote zone, connect the speakers for

the remote room location to the

Surround Back/

Multiroom Speaker Outputs

‚

. Before using the

remote room you will need to configure the amplifiers

for surround operation by changing a setting in the

MULTIROOM

menu, following the instructions

shown on page 35.

NOTE:

For all options, you may connect an optional

IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR 335 via an

appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to the

Multiroom IR Input

∞

and use the Zone II remote

to control the room volume. Alternatively, you may

install an optional volume control between the output

of the amplifiers and the speakers. See page 35 for

more informatin on the multiroom system.

AC Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets.

They may be used to power accessory devices, but

they should not be used with high-current-draw equip-

ment such as power amplifiers. The total power draw

to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.

The

Switched AC Accessory Outlet

°

will receive

power only when the unit is on. This is recommended

for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical

power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE:

Many audio and video products go into a

Standby mode when they are used with switched out-

lets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet

alone without a remote control command.

The

Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet

·

will

receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a

powered AC outlet.

Once the

AC Power Cord

‡

is connected, you are

almost ready to enjoy the AVR 335!
