INSTALLATION Table 2 - Remote Control Device Types Source Input Remote Control Device Type Phono Operates HK 3485 only Video 1 Harman Kardon DVD player Video 2 Harman Kardon DVD player Video 3 Harman Kardon DVD player Tape/CDR Harman Kardon CD recorder CD Harman Kardon CD player AM/FM Operates HK 3485 only We recommend you follow the guidelines in Table 2 when connecting various source components to the HK 3485. However, due to the limitations in the design of the HK 3485 remote control, when using source components manufactured by other brands, you may need to use the device's original remote control to operate it. Alternatively, you may wish to consider purchasing the Harman Kardon TC 30 activitybased remote control, which is custom-programmed by accessing a vast Internet library of remote control codes for numerous brands and types of products. For each audio-only source, such as a CD player, simply connect the left and right analog audio outputs of the source device to the corresponding inputs on the HK 3485. For audio/video devices, such as a cable television set-top box, in addition to the audio connections, connect the composite video output on the set-top box to the corresponding video input jack on the HK 3485. Phono (Turntable) Connect the audio outputs of your turntable or tone arm with a movingmagnet (MM-type) cartridge to the Phono Inputs, and connect the ground wire to the Ground Terminal immediately above the Phono Inputs (not the AM Antenna Ground Terminal). If the cartridge is a moving-coil (MC-type) cartridge, it requires a separate phono preamp (available at your local electronics store) before you connect it to the Phono Inputs. See Figure 12. Compact Disc (CD) Player Connect the analog audio outputs of your CD player (or another audioonly device) to the CD Audio Inputs. See Figure 13. Figure 13 - CD Audio Inputs Tape The Tape source is used for audio recorders, such as a CDR, MiniDisc or cassette deck. Connect the output jacks on your recorder to the Tape Audio Input jacks on the HK 3485, and the input jacks on your recorder to the Tape Output jacks on the HK 3485. See Figure 14. Figure 14 - Tape/CDR Audio Inputs and Outputs If your tape deck is a three-head unit or has off-head playback capability, you may monitor recordings by repeatedly pressing the Tape Source Selector on the front panel or remote until the dot to the left of the Tape Input Indicator in the front-panel display flashes. Video 1 Source Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR, even though the remote codes are programmed to operate a DVD player. Simply use your video recorder's original remote or the Harman Kardon TC 30. Connect your recorder to the Video 1 Audio Inputs and Outputs. Then connect the recorder to the Video 1 Composite Video Input and Output. See Figure 15. Figure 12 - Phono Inputs and Ground If your turntable has an MM-type cartridge and a built-in phono preamp, do not connect it to the Phono Inputs. Use one of the other available audio input sources on the HK 3485. Figure 15 - Video 1 A/V Inputs and Outputs Remember to connect the audio and video output jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 Input jacks on the HK 3485, and the audio and video input jacks on your recorder to the Video 1Output jacks on the HK 3485. 18 18
