AVR Making Connections Connect IR Equipment The AVR is equipped with a Remote IR Input connector that lets you remotely control the AVR in a variety of situations: • When you place the AVR inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the AVR's IR In jack. External IR Receiver AVR IR In Jack Connect the Trigger Output If your system has equipment that can be controlled by a DC trigger signal, connect it to the AVR's Trigger Out connector with a mono 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mini-plug interconnect cable. The AVR will supply a 12V DC (100mA) trigger signal at this connection whenever it is powered on.
