INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 17
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
If your system requires direct connection of a video
source to your display, we suggest that you consider
programming the
VDI Buttons
w
so that you may
change the input used by your display from the AVR’s
remote. For information on “learning” remote codes
into a button on the AVR remote,
follow the instruc-
tions shown on page 44.
5. Connect the Video Monitor Output Jacks
›
on
the receiver to the composite or S-video input of
your television monitor or video projector.
6. If your DVD player has Y/Pr/Pb analog component
video outputs, connect them to the Component
Video 1 Inputs
c
. Although this set of inputs may
be assigned to any of the four video inputs on
the AVR
435 , the factory default is for this input
to be assigned to the DVD Audio Inputs .
Remember to make a digital audio connection
between the DVD player and the AVR, with the
Coaxial Digital Input 1 being the factory
default. For information on changing the input
assignments for either the component video
jacks or the DVD player’s audio connection, see
page 21.
7. If you have other devices with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB
component video outputs, connect the source
device to the
Component Video 2 Inputs
d
.
The audio connections may be to any of the Video
Audio Inputs
M
or the Optical or
Coaxial Digital Inputs
KL
. When using
either of the Component Video Inputs, make certain
that the audio and video inputs are properly config-
ured in the
INPUT SETUP
menu, as
described on page 21.
8. If the component video inputs are used, connect
the Component Video Monitor Outputs
b
to
the component video inputs of your TV, projector
or display device.
9. If you have a camcorder, video game or other
audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on
a temporary rather than permanent basis, connect
the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that
device to the
Front-Panel Inputs
KLM
. A
device connected here is selected as the Video 4
input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the
Video 4 input.
(See page 21 for more information
on input configuration.)
System and Power Connections
The AVR 435 is designed for flexible use with multi-
room 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, an optional remote sensor may be used.
Connect the output of the remote sensor to the
Remote IR Input Jack
g
.
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
h
to
the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other
compatible equipment.
Multiroom IR Link
The remote room IR receiver should be connected to
the AVR
435 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR con-
nection cable into the Multiroom IR Input Jack
f
on
the AVR 435 ’s rear panel.
If other Harman Kardon-compatible source equipment
is part of the main room installation, the
Remote IR
Output Jack
h
on the rear panel should be con-
nected to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will
enable the remote room location to control source
equipment functions.
When a remote IR sensor is used to control non-
Harman Kardon source equipment, we recommend
that you make a direct connection or use an optional,
external IR “blaster” connected to the
Remote IR
Carrier Output Jack
i
. If you are in doubt as to
which IR Output jack to use for the equipment in your
system, contact your dealer or installer, or the manu-
facturer’s support site and ask whether the unit to be
controlled uses “full carrier” or “stripped” carrier IR
commands. When “full carrier commands” are used,
make the connection to the
Remote IR Carrier
Output Jack
i
. Otherwise, make the connection to
the Remote IR Output Jack
h
as noted above.
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 Connections
The AVR 435 is equipped with multizone capabilities
that allow it to send a separate audio source to the
remote zone from the one selected for use in the
main room.
Depending on your system’s requirement, three
options are available for audio connection:
Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio intercon-
nect cable from the AVR 435 ’s location to the remote
room. In the remote room, connect the interconnect
cable to a stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be
connected to the room’s speakers. At the AVR
435 ,
plug the audio interconnect cables into the Multiroom
Audio Outputs
j
on the AVR 435 ’s rear panel.
Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Outputs
j
on the AVR 435 to the inputs of an optional stereo
power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from
the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.
Option 3: Taking advantage of the AVR 435 ’s built-in
seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the
amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote
room. When using this option, you will not be able to
use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the AVR
435 in
the main listening room, but you will be able to add
another listening room without external power ampli-
fiers. To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote
zone, connect the speakers for the remote room loca-
tion to the
Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker
Outputs
‚
. Before using the remote room, you
will need to configure the amplifiers for surround oper-
ation by changing a setting in the
MULTIROOM
menu, following the instructions shown on page 41.
NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional
IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR 435 via an
appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to the
Multiroom IR Input
f
on the AVR 435 and use
the Zone II remote to control the room volume. Alter-
natively, you may install an optional volume control
between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers.
A-BUS ® Installation Connections
The AVR 435 is among the few receivers available
that offer built-in A-BUS Ready operation. When used
with an optional A-BUS product, you have all the ben-
efits of remote zone operation without the need for an
external power amplifier.
To use the AVR 435 with an approved A-BUS prod-
uct, simply connect it to the AVR 435 using standard
Category 5 wiring that is properly rated for the specific
in-wall installation. Terminate the wiring at the receiver
end to a standard RJ-45 connector in compliance
with the instructions furnished with the A-BUS product.
You may connect a single A-BUS module to the
AVR
435 with no further equipment needed. If you
wish to connect more than one A-BUS module, an
optional, external A-BUS hub may be used to
provide that capability. Contact your dealer or
www.harmankardon.com for more information on
other A-BUS products available from Harman Kardon.
No further installation or adjustment is needed, as the
A-BUS jack on the AVR
435 routes the signals to their
proper destination for power, signal source and control.
The output fed to the A-BUS jack is determined by the
AVR
435 ’s multiroom system and menus.
RS-232 Connections
The AVR 435 is equipped with an RS-232 Serial
Connection Port
e
that may be used for two pur-
poses. When the port is connected to a compatible,
