CONNECTIONS
Video Connections
Although some sources produce an audio signal only (e.g., CD player,
tape deck), many sources output both audio and video signals (e.g.,
DVD player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR).
In addition to the audio connection, you will need to make a video
connection for each source.
Composite video is the basic connection most commonly available, and
is the only type of video connection available with the HK 3485. The
jack is usually color-coded yellow, and looks like an analog audio jack,
although it is important never to confuse the two. Do not plug a com-
posite video cable into an analog audio jack, and vice versa. Both the
chrominance (color) and luminance (intensity) components of the video
signal are transmitted using a single cable. See Figure 5.

Antennas
The HK 3485 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM
antennas that provide proper reception for the tuner.
The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. See Figure 6.

The AM loop antenna needs to be assembled. Then connect the two
leads to the screw terminals on the receiver. See Figure 7.
