Switched AC Power Outlet:

This outlet provides AC power only
when the AVR41 is turned on. Note
that the total power draw of the
products connected may not exceed
100 watts (see page 11).

fl

AC Power Cord:

Connect this

plug to an unswitched, wall mounted
230 volt AC outlet.

Remote Control Extension

Output:

This jack may be connect-

ed to other compatible Harman
Kardon products so that they will
receive infrared commands cap-
tured by the AVR41’s remote sensor.

°

Remote Control Extension

If the AVR41’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 (see page 11).

·

Subwoofer Outputs:

Connect

these jacks to the line level input of a
powered subwoofer, or to the inputs
of a subwoofer amplifier.

NOTE:

This output is a full range

left/right signal. For proper operation
BOTH jacks must be connected to
the left/right inputs of a powered
subwoofer, or a “Y” cable must be

used to connect the two outputs
together if a single input mono sub-
woofer is used (see page 12/13).

WARNING:

Since this is a full range

output, the signal must be sent
through a crossover or low pass filter
before being used with a passive
subwoofer or other speaker that
does not contain a built in crossover.

a

Front Preamp Outputs:

These

jacks provide the output for the front
left and right channels to an external
amplifier or processor. In normal
operation, unless an external power
amplifier is used (see page 13), the
jumper pins should remain connect-
ed to the 

Front Main In

jacks

Front Pre Out

jacks 

a

.

c

Rear (Surround) Outputs:

These jacks may be used to connect
the rear/surround channels to an
external power amplifier or to the
inputs of the AVR41’s main left/right
channel amplifier (see page 13).

d

Center Preamp Outputs:

These

jacks may be used to connect the
centre channel output to an external
power amplifier (see page 13).

NOTE:

In most applications only one

centre channel connection will be
required. The output of both jacks is
identical, and either jack may be
used for system connections.

e

AM Antenna Input:

Connect the

AM loop antenna supplied with the
AVR41 to these terminals. An exter-
nal AM antenna may also be con-
nected here (see page 11).

f
