When

connecting

wires

to

the

speakers,

be

certain

to

observe

proper

polarity.

Remember

to

connect

the

"negative"

or

"black"

wire

to

the

same

terminal

on

the

receiver

and

the

speaker.

Similarly,

the

"positive"

or

"Red"

wire

should

be

con-

nected

to

the

like

terminal

on

the

AVR80//

and

speaker.

NOTE:

While

most

speaker

manufactur-

ers

adhere

to

an

industry

convention

of

using

black

terminals

for

negative

and

red

ones

for

positive,

some

manufactur-

ers

may

vary

from

this

configuration.

To

assure

proper

phase,

and

optimal

perfor-

mance,

consult

the

identification

plate

on

your

speaker,

or

the

speaker's

manual

to

verify

polarity.

If

you

do

not

know

the

polarity

of

your

speaker,

ask

your

dealer

for

advice

before

proceeding,

or

consult

the

speaker's

manufacturer.

Connections

to

a

are

made

via

a

line

level

audio

connection

from

the

receiver

C9

to

the

line

level

input

of

a

subwoofer

with

a

built

in

amplifier.

If

a

passive

subwoofer

is

used,

the

connection

first

goes

to

a

power

amplifier,

which

will

be

connected

to

one

or

more

subwoofer

speakers.

is

recommended

to

preserve

System

and

Power

Connections

The

AVR80//

is

designed

for

fl

exible

use

with

external

control

components

and

power

amplifiers.

These

connections

are

easy

to

make

during

an

initial

installa-

tion,

or

at

a

later

date

should

you

choose

to

upgrade

your

system.

Remote

Control

Extension

If

the

receiver

is

placed

behind

a

solid

or

smoked

glass

cabinet

door,

the

obstruc-

tion

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

Cont.

IN

jack

Q.

If

other

components

are

also

prevented

from

receiving

remote

commands,

only

one

sensor

is

needed.

They

may

use

this

unit's

sensor

or

a

remote

eye

by

running

a

connection

from

the

REMOTE

CONT.

OUT

jack

la

to

the

Remote

In

jack

on

Harman

Kardon

or

other

com-

patible

equipment.
