¡ 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.
™ FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor (or an
optional external) FM antenna to this terminal.
£ CD Inputs: Connect these jacks to the output of
a compact disc player or CD changer.
¢ Tape Outputs: Connect these jacks to the
RECORD/INPUT jacks of an audio recorder.
∞ Tape Inputs: Connect these jacks to the
PLAY/OUT jacks of an audio recorder.
§ Remote IR Input: If the AVR 225’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.
¶ Remote IR Output: This connection permits the
IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote-
controlled devices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack
on Harman Kardon (or other compatible) equipment.
• Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the line-
level input of a powered subwoofer. If an external sub-
woofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the sub-
woofer amplifier input.
ª⁄‹ Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these
outputs to the matching + or – terminals on your front
speakers. When making speaker connections, always
make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting
the black terminal to the negative (–) terminal on the
speakers. Connect the white terminal to the positive
(+) terminal on the left front speaker, the red terminal
to the positive (+) terminal on the right front speaker
and the green terminal to the positive (+) terminal on
the center front speaker. Newer speakers may have
matching color terminals in accordance with the new
