CONNECTING OTHER
COMPONENTS
1. Make sure your amplifier and other
components are turned off.
2. Connect each component's Output
jacks to the corresponding Input jacks
on the back of your amplifier. Use the
white, black or gray plugs to connect
Left channel jacks; use the red plugs
for Right jacks.
WIRED REMOTE CONTROL
To control your amplifier with an external
infrared remote sensor, connect the wire
from the remote sensor to the REMOTE
IN jack on the back panel. Or, if another
stereo component has a built-in infrared
remote sensor and a Remote Output
jack, it may be possible to connect this
jack to the REMOTE IN jack of your
amplifier. All Harman/Kardon products
with »Remote In« and »Remote Out«
jacks are compatible with one another,
except for the Citation 22, 24 and 25.
Other manufacturers' remote sensors
and components may not be compatible,
but it will not hurt to experiment.
A second wire may be used to connect
your amplifier's REMOTE OUT jack to
the Remote Input of another stereo
component. Continue this process to
include additional components (if
compatible).
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
1. For best performance, use high quality
speaker cables. However, ordinary
copper wire can be used if the gauge
meets the following requirements:
Wire Min.
Length Diameter
Up to 2.5 meter 1 mm
Up to 4 meter 1.25 mm
Up to 6 meter 1.6 mm
Above 6 meter 2-2.5 mm
2. Avoid coiling excess wire with or near
line level hook-up cords.
IMPORTANT: When connecting two pairs
of speakers, determine the impedance of
each pair by looking on the back of the
speakers, in your owner's manual, or by
contacting your dealer or manufacturer.
Then refer to the following chart to see if
both sets may be played simultaneously.
If impedance Can both pairs
of the two be played
pairs is: simultaneously?
8Ω/8Ω YES
8Ω/6Ω NO
8Ω/4Ω NO
6Ω/6Ω NO
6Ω/4Ω NO
4Ω/4Ω NO
WARNING: Do not play sets of speakers
simultaneously except as recommended
above. Amplifier may overheat.
