REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS 9

REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs:

These speaker terminals are normally used to power
the surround back left/surround back right speakers
in a 7.1 channel system. However, they may also be
used to power the speakers in a second zone, which
will receive the output selected for a multiroom system.
To change the output fed to these terminals from
the default of the Surround Back speakers to the
Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the
Advanced Menu of the OSD system. See page 34 for
more information on configuring this speaker output. In
normal surround system use, the brown and black ter-
minals are the surround back left channel positive (+)
and negative (–) connections and the tan and black
terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and
negative (–) terminals. For multiroom use, connect the
brown and black SBL terminals to the red and black
connections on the left remote zone speaker and con-
nect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and
black terminals on the right remote zone speaker.

™

Video 3 Inputs:

Connect the analog audio and

composite or S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or
other video source to these jacks.

Center Speaker Outputs:

Connect these outputs

to the ma and – terminals on your center
channel speaker. In conformance with the new CEA
color-code specification, the green terminal is the
positive (+) terminal that should be connected to the
red (+) terminal on speakers with the older color-
coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to
the black (–) terminal on your speaker. (See page 15
for more information on speaker polarity.)

Video 2 Outputs:

Connect the analog audio and

composite or S-Video REC/IN jacks of a VCR or other
video recording device such as a DVD recorder or
PVR to these jacks.

∞

Remote IR Output:

This connection permits the

IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote con-
trolled devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on
Harman Kardon (or other compatible) equipment.

Remote IR Input:

If the AVR 7200’s front-panel

IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other
obstructions, an external IR sensor may be used.
Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.

Multiroom IR Input:

Connect the output of an IR

sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the
AVR 7200’s multiroom control system.

•

FM Antenna Terminal:

Connect the supplied indoor

or an optional external FM antenna to this terminal.

Video 2 Inputs:

Connect the analog audio and

composite or S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or
other video source to these jacks.

‚

AM Antenna Terminals:

Connect the AM loop

antenna supplied with the receiver to these terminals. If
an external AM antenna is used, make connections to
the

and

GND

terminals in accordance with the

instructions supplied with the antenna.

⁄

Video 1 Outputs:

Connect the analog audio and

composite or S-Video REC/IN jacks of a VCR or other
video recording device such as a DVD recorder or
PVR to these jacks.

DVD Inputs:

Connect the analog audio and com-

posite or S-Video outputs of a DVD player or other
video source to these jacks.

‹

Preamp Outputs:

Connect these jacks to an

optional, external power amplifier for applications
where higher power is desired.

›

Subwoofer Output:

Connect this jack to the line-

level input of a powered subwoofer. If an external sub-
woofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the sub-
woofer amplifier input.

ﬁ

DVD Component Video Inputs:

Connect the

Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of a DVD player to
these jacks.

ﬂ

Video 2 Component Video Inputs:

Connect the

Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of an HDTV set-top
convertor, satellite receiver or other video source
device with component video outputs to these jacks.

‡

Component Video Monitor Outputs:

Connect

these outputs to the component video inputs of a
video projector or monitor. When a source connected
to one of the

Component Video Inputs

ﬁﬂ

selected, the signal will be sent to these jacks.

AC Power Cord Jack:

Connect the AC power

cord to this jack when the installation is complete.
To ensure safe operation, use only the power cord
supplied with the unit. If a replacement is required, it
must be of the same type and capacity.

Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet:

This outlet

may be used to power any AC device. The power will
remain on at this outlet regardless of whether the
AVR 7200 is on or off.

Switched AC Accessory Outlets:

These outlets

may be used to power any device you wish to have
turned on when the AVR 7200 is turned on with the

System Power Control Button

NOTE:

The total power consumption of all devices

connected to the accessory outlets should not exceed
100 watts.

Surround Speaker Outputs:

Connect these out-

puts to the ma and – terminals on your sur-
round channel speakers. In conformance with the new

CEA color-code specification, the blue terminal is the
positive (+) terminal that should be connected to the
red (+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with
older color-coding, while the gray terminal should be
connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround
Right speaker with the older color-coding. Connect the
black (–) terminal on the AVR to the matching black
(–) terminals for each surround speaker. (See page 15
for more information on speaker polarity.)

Front Speaker Outputs:

Connect these outputs

to the ma or – terminals on your left and right
speakers. When making speaker connections, always
make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting
the color-coded (white for front left and red for front
right) (+) terminals on the AVR 7200 to the red (+)
terminals on the speakers and the black (–) terminals
on the AVR 7200 to the black (–) terminals on the
speakers. (See page 15 for more information on
speaker polarity.)

Video Monitor Outputs:

Connect these jacks to

the composite or S-Video input of a TV monitor or
video projector to view the on-screen menus and the
output of any standard video source selected by the
receiver’s video switcher.

A-BUS Connector:

Connect this jack to an optional

A-BUS-certified remote room keypad or amplifier to
extend the multiroom capabilities of your AVR 7200.
See pages 16 and 36 for more information on A-BUS.

Coaxial Digital Audio Output:

Connect this jack

to the coaxial digital audio input of a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc
or other digital recorder.

Multiroom Audio Outputs:

Connect these jacks

to the optional external audio power amplifier and
video distribution system that delivers the source
selected for multizone distribution.

Optical Digital Audio Output:

Connect this jack

to the optical digital audio input connector on a
CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other digital recorder.

Tape Inputs:

Connect these jacks to the

PLAY/OUT

jacks of an audio recorder.

Optical Digital Audio Inputs:

Connect the optical

digital audio output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer sound
card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player or CD
player to these jacks. The signal may be a Dolby Digital
signal, a DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.
