Connect

each

component's

Output

jacks

to

the

corresponding

Input

on

the

back

of

your

ampl

ifier.

Use

the

white,

black

or

while

it

is

in

process,

connect

it

to

TAPE

2

jacks.

For

Customers

with

a

Turntable:

To

connect

a

turntable,

an

optional

Phono

board

must

be

instal

led.

This

board

can

be

set

to

MM

or

MC.

With

the

Phono

board

installed,

however,

you

cannot

use

the

AUX

input.

If

you

want

to

have

the

Phono

board

installed,

consult

your

authorized

Harman

Kardon

service

center.

Wired

Remote

Control

To

control

your

amplifier

with

an

external

infrared

remote

sensor,

connect

the

wire

from

the

remote

sensor

to

the

REMOTE

IN

jack

on

the

back

panel.

Or,

if

another

stereo

component

has

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

amplifier.

All

Harman

jacks

are

compatible

with

one

another,

except

for

the

Citation

24

and

25.

Other

manufacturers'

remote

sensors

and

components

may

not

be

compatible,

but it

wi

ll

not

hurt

to

experiment.

A

second

wire

may

be

used

to

connect

your

amplifier's

REMOTE

OUT

jack

to

the

Remote

Input

of

another

stereo

component.

Continue

this

process

to

include

additional

components

(if

compatible).
