Optional

Digital

Connections

The

HD76OO

also

has

two

digital

output

jacks

—one

a

single

electrical

RCA

-type

connector

and

the

other

a

single

connector

for

an

optical

fi

ber

cable.

If

your

preamplifier

has

a

digital

-to

-analog

decoder

and

can

accept

a

digital

signal

from

a

compact

disc

player,

you

can

connect

your

CD

player

to

your

preamplifier

using

one

of

these

two

digital

jacks.

Please

note

that

using

the

digital

outputs

(either

optical

or

co

-axial)

will

bypass

the

internal

Bit

Stream

D/A

conversion

circuitry

and

therefore

miss

one

of

the

major

benefits

of

this

machine.

The

best

use

of

these

outputs

is

for

direct

connection

to

a

digital

recorder,

a

very

high

performance

external

D/A

Converter,

or

a

true

Digital

Signal

Processing

(DSP)

Preamplifier.

Optional

Direct

Connection

An

alternative

method

of

connecting

your

HD75OO/

HD7600

to

your

system

is

to

connect

its

VARIABLE

output

directly

to

the

INPUT

connectors

of

a

power

amplifier.

In

this

configuration,

you

would

use

the

OUTPUT

LEVEL

control

on

the

front

panel

of

the

CD

player

as

your

volume

control,

which

in

some

systems

may

provide

the

purest

possible

sound

quality

during

playback.

Never

connect

fixed

outputs

directly

to

a

power

amp.

General

Connection

Hints

As

you

connect

your

compact

disc

player,

carefully

connect

the

plugs

to

the

output

jacks,

being

sure

to

push

the

plugs

in

all

the

way.

Loose

connection

of

a

plug

can

cause

hum

or

other

intermittent

noise.

Take

care

to

match

the

left

and

right

plugs

on

the

CD

player

with

the

left

and

right

input

jacks

on

the

back

of

the

receiver/preamplifier/

integrated

amplifier.

Common

practice

is

to

use

the

red

plug

as

right,

and

the

white,

gray,

or

black

plug

as

left.

Do

not

wind

the

cables

with

the

power

cord;

doing

so

may

degrade

the

sound

quality.

When

you

have

finished

connecting

your

HD7500

or

HD76OO

to

your

receiver/preamplifier/integrated

amplifier,

plug

the

power

cord

of

the

CD

player

either

into

a

power

outlet

on

the

back

of

another

component,

or

into

the

power

outlet

in

the

wall.

HD7500/HD7600

Remote

Control

Operation

Two

batteries

are

provided

with

your

remote

control.

To

load

batteries

1.

Locate

the

cover

over

the

battery

compartment

on

the

back

of

the

remote

control.

Remove

the

cover

by

sliding

it

in

the

direction

of

the

embossed

arrow.

2.

Insert

the

two

AA

(1.5V/R6/UM3)

batteries.

Make

sure

you

insert

the

batteries

according

to

the

+

and

-

polarity

symbols

at

the

bottom

of

the

battery

compartment.

3.

Replace

the

cover

of

the

battery

compartment

When

you

replace

weak

Remote

Control

Unit

30°

Photo

Sensor

The

remote

control

operates

within

a

3O°

angle

of

the

remote

sensor

on

the

front

panel

of

the

unit.

Make

sure

that

the

remote's

front

projection

"lens"

as

well

as

the

REMOTE

SENSOR

area

on

the

front

panel

of

the

unit

are

kept

free

from

dirt

to

ensure

proper

transmission

and

reception

of

the

infrared

beam.

Also

make

sure

that

no

objects

(e.g.,

stereo

cabinet

doors,

end

tables)

block

the

path

from

the

remote

control

to

the

REMOTE

SENSOR

area.

Avoid

using

the

remote

control

near

fluorescent

lamps,

as

they

may

shorten

its

operating

range.

If

your

remote

control

will

sit

unused

for

a

long

period

of

time,

remove

the

batteries

to

prevent

damage

from

corrosion.

Rear

Panel

Remote

Jacks

The

remote

control

input

jack

allows

remote

control

of

this

unit

via

a

cable.

This

cable

can

be

connected

to

the

remote

control

output

jack

of

another

Harman

Kardon

product.

Alternatively,

it

can

be

connected

to

an

accessory

device

that

converts

infrared

remote

control

signals

into

detected

pulses.

While

all

Harman

Kardon

products

with

remote

control

jacks

are

compatible

with

one

another,

not

all

accessory

devices

or

other

manufacturer's

products

are.

However,

it

is

safe

to

experiment.
