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.

Installed Inside of cabinet
If you install a multizone system (AVr 1710/AVr 171 only), connect an Ir control
•
device to the zone 2 Ir In connector for remote-room control of the multizone
system, source devices and volume in the remote zone.

If a source device is shared with the main listening area, any control commands issued
to that source will also affect the main room.
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.
