While the box is quite large and may be a nuisance to store, it is essential for shipping if you move or should the unit ever need repair. Also be sure to fill out the customer profile card and save your sales receipt in a safe place. It is necessary to establish the date on which your warranty begins, and as proof of ownership in the event of something drastic such as fire or theft. The HK550Vxi and HK440Vxi are fully shielded and may be placed on top of or under other stereo components, provided that their 3/8-inch "feet" provide sufficient clearance for the cooling needs of the component below.

It should be connected to the ground wire on your turntable cable to prevent audible hum. First make sure that the receiver and all other components are switched off. Take care to match left and right component plugs with the left and right input jacks on the back of the receiver. Common practice is to treat the red plug as right and the grey (or black or white) plug as left. The PHONO input is designed for moving magnet cartridges only. If you are using a moving coil cartridge, you will need a step-up transformer between the cartridge and your Harman Kardon receiver. TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 inputs and outputs (tape monitor loops) correspond to their opposite sockets on your tape deck(s). That is, out on the cassette deck connects to in on the receiver. When employing signal processing devices such as an equalizer, expander, dynamic noise suppressor, or special speaker equalization box, connect them through one or the other of the receiver's tape monitor loops. If you have such components and one cassette deck, connect all outboard signal processing devices to the TAPE 1 inputs and outputs on the HK550Vxi / HK440Vxi. Your tape deck is then connected to the tape monitor loop of the last outboard signal processing device (see Fig. 3 on next page). Switching the receiver's TAPE MONITOR switch to TAPE 1 now switches in your signal processor(s). To use the cassette deck, press the Tape Monitor buttons on the outboard components. VIDEO and AUX (HK550Vxi ONLY) inputs may be used for any line level source including VCR's, audio output from a TV, DAT recorder, extra tape deck, etc. The HK550Vxi / HK440Vxi has a 120-volt receptacle which turns on and off along with the receiver. Employ this switched outlet for a component which is used each time you operate your stereo system. That may include any outboard signal processors (if you leave them switched into the system at all times), speaker equalization boxes and/or whichever sound source you use most often. This gives you the convenience of being able to power up most of your system with just one switch. Depending on the type of antenna connector, attach your FM antenna to either the terminals marked 300 (ohm mark) BAL or 75 (ohm mark) at the left side of the chassis back. The flexible
