G

  Power lead aC input.

H

  TUneR analog Input jacks.

I

  PRoCessoR analog Inputs. These Inputs 

go directly to the power amplifier section 
of the HK 990, bypassing the Volume and 
Tone Control. Here you can connect the 
front Channel Pre out l+R signals from an 
external surround processor, to benefit from 
the superior power of the HK 990 and control 
volume from the processor. 

NOTE

: only use 

the Processor Input with a device that has its 
own volume control! 

J

  CD analog Input jacks. You can select either

off the HK 990, the subwoofer also switches 
off.

O

  HRs (High-Resolution synchronization) Input. 

Use the included HRs-cable to connect the
