12 VIDEO AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
VIDEO AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
A
Amp Trigger: Connect this jack to the “Trigger In”
jack of an optional, external power amplifier that is
equipped for remote turn-on via a 6-volt signal. When
this connection is used, the AVR 7300 will automatically
send a low-voltage signal that turns on the amp when the
AVR is on, and since the signal is not present when the
AVR is turned off, the amplifier will also turn off with the
AVR 7300.
B Multiroom IR Input: Connect the output of an IR
sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the
AVR’s multiroom control system.
C
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.
D
Remote IR Input: If the AVR 7300’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.
E 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
FGH
is
selected, the signal will be sent to these jacks.
F
DVD Component Video Inputs: Connect the
component video outputs of a DVD player or any
other video source equipped with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB
component video outputs to these jacks. The factory
default is for these jacks to be linked to the
DVD
Audio Inputs

and the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio
Input

, but you may change the setting at any time
through the IN/OUT SETUP menu. See page
23 for more information on configuring the compo-
nent video inputs.
G Component Video 2 Inputs: These inputs may
be used with any video source device equipped with
analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Video 2 through Video 4 inputs, but you may change
the setting at any time through the
IN/OUT
SETUP menu. See page 23 for more information
on configuring the component video inputs.
H
Component Video 1 Inputs: These inputs may
be used with any video source device equipped with
analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Video 1 input, but you may change the setting at any
time through the
IN/OUT SETUP menu. See
page 23 for more information on configuring the
component video inputs.
I
DVD Video Inputs: The default use for these
inputs is the connection to the composite and/or S-
Video output of a DVD player, but they may be used
with a different video source if desired.
J Video Monitor Outputs: When using an analog
video display that has only standard composite and
S-Video inputs, connect the output of these jacks
(depending on which types of video are used by your
source devices) to the matching inputs on your televi-
sion or video display. When using a “digital ready” or
HDTV display that is compatible with 480P or higher
inputs, you do not need to make these connections as
all incoming video will be up-scaled to 480P and sent
through the
Component Video Monitor Jacks
E
with the OSD messages.
K
Video 4 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or
S-Video jacks of a video device to these jacks. The
AVR 7300’s remote control has a satellite receiver as
the default for this input, but you may connect any
video source such as a VCR, HDTV receiver, personal
video recorder, or other device to these inputs. (See
page 23 for more information on configuring an input
for various source options.)
L
A-BUS Connectors: Connect these jacks to an
optional A-BUS ® -certified remote modules to extend the
multiroom capabilities of your AVR 7300. See page 20
for more information on A-BUS.
M Video 1 Video Outputs: Connect the composite
S-Video RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording device
such as a VCR, DVD-Recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks.
N
Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or
S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a video recording device
such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks. The AVR 7300’s remote control has a
VCR as the default for this input, but you may connect
any video source such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top
box, personal video recorder, or other device to these
inputs. (See page 23 for more information on configuring
an input for various source options.)
O Multiroom Video Outputs: Connect these jacks to
the cabling and/or an optional, external video distribution
amplifier that delivers the video source selected for the
multizone distribution to the remote rooms.
P
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.
Q
Unswitched AC Outlet: This outlet may be used
to power any AC device as long as its power con-
sumption does not exceed 100 watts. The power
will remain available at this outlet as long as the
AVR 7300 is plugged into an AC power source,
regardless of whether the AVR itself is on or off.
R
Switched AC Outlets: These outlets may be used
to power AC devices that you wish to have turn on
and off when the AVR is turned on or off. The total
power consumption of all devices connected to the
two outlets may not exceed 100 watts.
S
RS-232 Port: This jack may be used to control
the AVR 7300 over a bi-directional RS-232 serial
control link to a compatible computer or programmable
remote control system. Due to the complexity of
programming RS-232 commands, we strongly
recommend that connections to this port for control
purposes be made by a trained and qualified
technician. This jack may also link to a compatible
computer to upgrade the software and operating sys-
tem of the AVR 7300 when appropriate upgrades are
available.
T Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-
Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a video recording device such
as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder to
these jacks. The AVR 7300’s remote control has a VCR
as the default for this input, but you may connect any
video source such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top box,
personal video recorder, or other device to these inputs.
(See page 23 for more information on configuring an
input for various source options.)
U
Video 2 Video Outputs: Connect the composite or
S-Video RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording device
such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks.
V Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect the composite
or S-Video jacks of a video device to these jacks. The
AVR 7300’s remote control has a satellite receiver as
the default for this input, but you may connect any
video source such as a VCR, HDTV receiver, personal
video recorder, or other device to these inputs. (See
page 23 for more information on configuring an input
for various source options.)
W
FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor or an
optional external FM antenna to this terminal.
X
AM Antenna: Connect the AM loop antenna sup-
plied with the receiver to these terminals. If an external
AM antenna is used, make connections to the
AM and
GND terminals in accordance with the instructions
supplied with the antenna.
