1. Note the difference between the two conductors in each cable: different colored insulation, ridged insulation, or colored yarn. 2. Connect the front right-hand speaker to the receiver, being sure to connect the positive terminal on the speaker to the terminal marked "Front Speakers" "Right" on the receiver, and the negative or ground terminal on the speaker to the corresponding "GND" terminal on the receiver. 3. Connect terminals on the front left-hand speaker to the "Front Speakers" "Left" and corresponding "GND" terminals on the receiver, again being careful to maintain correct polarity. To connect a second set of speakers: IMPORTANT: When connecting pairs of front speakers to speaker systems "A" and "B," determine the impedance of each pair by looking on the back of the speakers, or in your owner's manual, or by contacting your dealer or manufacturer. Speaker pairs A and B can be played simultaneously only when the impedance of speakers A and B are 1252 or greater. WARNING: Do not play both sets of front speakers simultaneously except as recommended above. Receiver may overheat. 4. Connect terminals on the Center Speaker to the "Center" and corresponding "GND" terminals on the Receiver. 5. Connect terminals on the Rear Left and Right Speakers to the corresponding Rear "Left," "Right" and "GND" terminals on the Receiver. Subwoofer Out Connect a powered subwoofer to these jacks. This output may also be used for any external component requiring a full bandwidth line-level input. Wired Remote Control To control your AVR30 with an external infrared remote sensor, connect the wire from the remote sensor to the "Remote In" jack on the back panel. Or, if you have a stereo component with a built-in infrared remote sensor and a "Remote Output" jack, it may be possible to connect this jack to the "Remote In" jack of your AVR30. All Harman Kardon products with "Remote In" and "Remote Out" jacks are compatible with one another, except for the HD7400 CD Player, Citation 22, Citation 24 and Citation 25. Other manufacturers' remote sensors may not be compatible, but it will not hurt to experiment. A second wire may be used to connect your AVR30's "Remote Out" jack to the "Remote Input" of another stereo component. Continue this process to include additional components (if compatible). To control your AVR30, you may use one of the remote controls supplied with the AVR30. You may use the HTC to control other components, such as TVs, VCRs, laser disc players, etc. 8

1.
Note
the
difference
between
the
two
conductors
in
each
cable:
different
colored
insulation,
ridged
insulation,
or
colored
yarn.
2.
Connect
the
front
right-hand
speaker
to
the
receiver,
being
sure
to
connect
the
positive
terminal
on
the
speaker
to
the
terminal
marked
"Front
Speakers"
"Right"
on
the
receiver,
and
the
negative
or
ground
terminal
on
the
speaker
to
the
corresponding
"GND"
terminal
on
the
receiver.
3.
Connect
terminals
on
the
front
left-hand
speaker
to
the
"Front
Speakers"
"Left"
and
corresponding
"GND"
terminals
on
the
receiver,
again
being
careful
to
maintain
correct
polarity.
To
connect
a
second
set
of
speakers:
IMPORTANT:
When
connecting
pairs
of
front
speakers
to
speaker
systems
"A"
and
"B,"
determine
the
impedance
of each
pair
by
looking
on
the
back
of
the
speakers,
or
in
your
owner's
manual,
or
by
contacting
your
dealer
or
manufacturer.
Speaker pairs
A
and
B
can
be
played
simultaneously
only
when
the
impedance
of
speakers
A
and
B
are
1252
or
greater.
WARNING:
Do
not
play
both
sets
of
front
speakers
simultaneously
except
as
recommended
above.
Receiver
may
overheat.
4.
Connect
terminals
on
the
Center
Speaker
to
the
"Center"
and
corresponding
"GND"
terminals
on
the
Receiver.
5.
Connect
terminals
on
the
Rear
Left
and
Right
Speakers
to
the
corresponding
Rear
"Left,"
"Right"
and
"GND"
terminals
on
the
Receiver.
Subwoofer
Out
Connect
a
powered
subwoofer
to
these
jacks.
This
output
may
also
be
used
for
any
external
component
requiring
a
full
bandwidth
line
-level
input.
Wired
Remote
Control
To
control
your
AVR30
with
an
external
infrared
remote
sensor,
connect
the
wire
from
the
remote
sensor
to
the
"Remote
In"
jack
on
the
back
panel.
Or,
if
you
have
a
stereo
component
with
a
built-in
infrared
remote
sensor
and
a
"Remote
Output"
jack,
it
may
be
possible
to
connect
this
jack
to
the
"Remote
In"
jack
of
your
AVR30.
All
Harman
Kardon
products
with
"Remote
In"
and
"Remote
Out"
jacks
are
compatible
with
one
another,
except
for
the
HD7400
CD
Player,
Citation
22,
Citation
24
and
Citation
25.
Other
manufacturers'
remote
sensors
may
not
be
compatible,
but
it
will
not
hurt
to
experiment.
A
second
wire
may
be
used
to
connect
your AVR30's
"Remote
Out"
jack
to
the
"Remote
Input"
of
another
stereo
component.
Continue
this
process
to
include
additional
components
(if
compatible).
To
control
your
AVR30,
you
may
use
one
of
the
remote
controls
supplied
with
the
AVR30.
You
may
use
the
HTC
to
control
other
components,
such
as
TVs,
VCRs,
laser
disc
players,
etc.
