Installation and Connections
Important Note for the Use of
SCART-Cinch Adapters:
When video sources are connected to the TV
directly with a SCART cable, specific control sig-
nals apart from Audio/Video signals will be fed
to the TV. These specific signals are: With all
video sources, the signal for automatic input
selection that switches the TV automatically to
the appropriate input as soon as the video
source is started. And with DVD players, the sig-
nals automatically turning the TV to 16:9 format
(with switchable 4:3 TVs) and turning the RGB
video decoder of the TV on or off, depending on
the DVD player´s setting. With any adapter cable,
these control signals will be lost and the appro-
priate setting of the TV must be made manually.
System and Power Connections
The AVR 4000 is designed for flexible use with
multiroom systems, external control components
and power amplifiers.
Main Room Remote Control Extension
If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked
glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent
the remote sensor from receiving commands. In
this event, the remote sensor of any Harman
Kardon or other compatible device, not covered
by the door, or an optional remote sensor may
be used. Connect the
Remote IR Output
of
that device or the output of the remote sensor to
the
Remote IR Input
jack
.
If other components are also prevented from
receiving remote commands, only one sensor is
needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote
eye by running a connection from the
Remote
IR Output
jack
to the
Remote IR Input
jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible
equipment.
NOTE:
All remotely controlled components must
be linked together in a daisy chain. Connect the
IR OUT
jack of one unit to the
IR IN
of the next
to establish this chain.
Multiroom IR Link
The key to remote room operation is to link the
remote room to the AVR 4000’s location with
wire for an infrared receiver and speakers or an
amplifier. The remote room IR receiver (this can be
an optional IR receiver or any other remotable
Harman Kardon device in the remote room with
IR sensor integrated) should be connected to the
AVR 4000 via standard coaxial cable. Connect the
Remote IR Output
of the device or of the
optional sensor with the
Multiroom IR Input
jack
on the AVR 4000’s rear panel.
If other Harman Kardon compatible source
equipment is part of the main room installation,
the
Remote IR Output
jack
on the rear
panel should be connected to the IR IN jack on
that source device. This will enable the remote
room location to control source equipment func-
tions.
