INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 7. 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 36 or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Input Jacks dg*(. 8. If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs fi to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or display device. 9. If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that device 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 18 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 330 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 330, 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 330, both the Composite and Component Video Monitor Outputs c 32 must be connected to the appropriate inputs on your video display. System and Power Connections The AVR 330 is designed for flexible use with multiroom 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 330 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR connection cable into the Multiroom IR Input ∞ jack on the AVR 330's rear panel. If other 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 location to control source equipment functions. NOTE: All remotely controlled components must be linked together in a "daisy chain". Connect the IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish this chain. Multiroom Connections The AVR 330 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 interconnect cable from the AVR 330'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 330, plug the audio interconnect cables into the Multiroom Audio Output ¡ jacks on the AVR 330's rear panel. Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Output ¡ jacks on the AVR 330 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 330'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 330 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 Advanced Select menu, following the instructions shown on page 31. NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR 330 via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensor's cable to the Multiroom IR Input ∞ on the AVR 330 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 33 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 equipment 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 outlets, 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 330's incredible power and fidelity! 16 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
