INSTALLATION
Video 2 Source
The Video 2 source is used only for playback. Since the remote is
preprogrammed to operate a Harman Kardon DVD player when the
Video 2 source is selected, we recommend that you connect a DVD
player to the Video 2 Inputs.
You may have observed that the HK 3490 does not feature surround
sound decoding, other than Dolby Virtual Speaker. If you prefer the
complete home theater experience, you may wish to consider
purchasing a full-featured Harman Kardon AVR Series audio/video
receiver. However, we hope you will find that using a DVD player with
the HK 3490 in smaller settings, such as a bedroom or den, surpasses
the audio performance of most televisions, including those with onboard
stereo speakers.
Connect the left and right analog audio outputs of the DVD player to
the Video 2 Audio Inputs on the HK 3490. Then connect the composite
video output of the DVD player, usually colored yellow, to the Video 2
Video Input. See Figure 18.
Figure 18 – Video 2 Audio and Video Inputs
NOTE:
If you receive your television programming using your
TV with an antenna or direct cable connection, connect the TV’s
analog audio outputs (if available) to the Video 2 Analog Audio
Inputs. Do not connect any video output on the television set to
any Video Input on the receiver. See Step Five for information on
connecting the receiver’s Video Monitor Outputs to the television.
Video 3 Source
The Video 3 source is used only for playback.The Video 3 source has
two sets of input jacks, one located on the HK 3490’s rear panel and
one set on the front panel. If you wish to connect a video device more
or less permanently, you may prefer to connect it to the rear-panel
inputs for a neater appearance. You may prefer to reserve the front-
panel inputs for devices connected on a temporary basis, such as an
iPod (not included), a camcorder, a game console, or another type of
media player with analog audio and/or video outputs.
You may connect devices to both the front- and rear-panel inputs
simultaneously. To select either device, press the Video 3 Source Selector
on the HK 3490’s front panel or remote repeatedly. When VIDEO 3
appears on the front panel of the HK 3490, the rear-panel inputs are
active. When VIDEO F appears, the front-panel inputs are active.
Connect the left and right analog audio outputs of your device to the
corresponding Video 3 Inputs on either the front or rear panel, and
if available, connect the composite video output of the device to the
Video 3 Video Input on the same panel. See Figure 19.
Figure 19 – Front- and Rear-Panel Video 3 A / V Inputs
To connect an iPod to the Video 3 Inputs, insert the 1/8" mini plug on
the A / V cable included with the HK 3490 into the headphone jack of
the iPod. Insert the left and right analog audio plugs on the other end of
the A / V cable into the Video 3 Audio Inputs on the front of the receiver.
If the iPod is capable of playing videos or displaying images, insert the
composite video plug of the A / V cable into the Video 3 Video Input.
NOTE:
The iPod classic, iPod touch and iPhone require a special
cable (not included) for video playback through the HK 3490.
The cable features a dock receptacle at one end, and conventional
A/V plugs at the other end that may be connected to the
HK 3490 as described above. Visit www.apple.com for more
information about the cable.
When the front-panel inputs and tone controls are not in use, place the
supplied covers over them for a cleaner appearance by snapping the
covers in place. To remove the covers, gently press on the left side of
each cover so that it pivots out.
Since the remote is preprogrammed to operate a Harman Kardon DVD
player when the Video 3 source has been selected, use the source
device’s original remote to control other components, or operate an
iPod using its own controls.
Docking Station
With the optional The Bridge II docking station, you can listen to audio
or view videos stored on your iPod, iPod touch or iPhone (not included),
use your HK 3490 remote control to operate the iPod, and even charge
the iPod while it’s docked in The Bridge II docking station. Simply plug
the proprietary cable from The Bridge II unit into the special connector
on the rear of the HK 3490. See Figure 20. Refer to the owner’s
manual for The Bridge II model for more information.
