Introduction
Thank you for choosing a harman kardon® product!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your new harman kardon
audio/video receiver.
To conserve our natural resources, your receiver does not include a printed owner's manual. An owner's
manual containing complete information about operating all of your new receiver’s features is available
at our Web site. Go to www.harmankardon.com and download the

.
Place the Receiver
• Place the receiver on a firm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any mounting hardware
can support the receiver’s weight.
• Provide proper space above and below the receiver for ventilation. If you install the receiver in a
cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet. Under some circumstances, a
fan may be required.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the receiver or place objects directly over them.
• Do not place the receiver directly on a carpeted surface.
• Do not place the receiver in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, in areas near
heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the audio/video receiver, ensure that the receiver’s
AC cord is unplugged from the receiver and the AC outlet. Making connections with the receiver
plugged in and turned on could damage the speakers.
Place Your Speakers
Determine the locations for your system’s speakers according to their manufacturer’s directions and
the layout of your listening room. Use the illustrations below as a guide for 7.1-channel and 5.1-channel
