Installation and Setup
When connecting wires to the speakers,
be certain to observe proper polarity.
Remember to connect the “negative” or
“black” wire to the same terminal on the
receiver and the speaker. Similarly, the
“positive” or “red” wire should be con-
nected to the like terminal on the AVR55
and speaker.
NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers
adhere to an industry convention of using
black terminals for negative and red ones
for positive, some manufacturers may
vary from this configuration. To assure
proper phase, and optimal performance,
consult the identification plate on your
speaker, or the speaker’s manual to verify
polarity. If you do not know the polarity
of your speaker, ask your dealer for advice
before proceeding, or consult the speaker’s
manufacturer.
8. Connections to a subwoofer are made
via an audio connection from the
Subwoofer Output to the line level
input of a subwoofer with a built-in
amplifier. If a passive subwoofer is used,
the connection first goes to a power
amplifier, which will be connected to one
or more subwoofer speakers.
Video Input and Output Connections
Video connections are made in a similar
fashion as those for audio components.
Again, the use of high-quality intercon-
nect cables is recommended to preserve
signal quality.
1. Connect your VCR’s audio and video
OUT jacks to the
Video 1 In jacks ° on
the rear panel. The audio and video IN
jacks on the VCR should be connected to
the Video 1 Out jacks on the AVR55.
2. Connect the audio and video outputs
of a satellite receiver, cable TV converter
or television set or any other video source
to the
TV jacks ¤.
3. Connect the audio and video outputs
of a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD
jacks .
4. Connect the Video Mon a jack on
the receiver to the video input of your
television monitor or video projector.
System and Power Connections
The AVR55 is designed for flexible use
with external control components and
power amplifiers. These connections are
easy to make during an initial installa-
tion, or at a later date should you choose
to upgrade your system.
Remote Control Extension
If the receiver is placed behind a solid or
smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruc-
tion may prevent the internal remote
sensor from receiving commands. In this
event, an optional remote sensor may be
used. Connect the output of the remote
sensor to the Remote Cont. In jack c.
If other components are also prevented
from receiving remote commands, only
one sensor is needed. They may use the
AVR55’s sensor or a remote eye to send
commands to other products by running
a connection from the Remote Cont.
Out jack b to the Remote In jack on
Harman Kardon or other compatible
equipment.
External Audio Power
Amplifier Connections
If desired, optional, external power audio
power amplifiers may be used with the
AVR55. Connections may be made by con-
necting the Preamp Outputs £¢h
of the AVR55 to the inputs of the external
amplifier. Before connecting the front
channels to an external amplifier, remove
the jumper pins connecting the Front
Channel Inputs and Outputs hi
and save them for future use.
AC Power Connections
This unit is equipped with two accessory
AC outlets. They may be used to power
accessory devices, but they should not be
used with high-current draw equipment
such as power amplifiers. Their total
power draw may not exceed 100 watts.
These
Outlets will receive power
only when the unit is on. These recom-
mended for devices that have no power
switch, or a mechanical power switch
that may be left in the “ON” position.
NOTE: Devices with electronic power
switches may only go into a Standby
mode when plugged in here.
Finally, when all connections are com-
plete, plug the
AC Power Cord into
a non-switched120-volt AC wall outlet.
You’re almost ready to enjoy the AVR55!
