Rear Panel Connections
‚ Surround Back Preamp Outputs: When
the AVR is used in the 6.1 or 7.1 configuration,
connect these jacks to an optional, external
power amplifier to power the Surround Back
Channels.
⁄ Tape Inputs: Connect these jacks to the
PLAY/OUT jacks of an audio recorder.
¤ Component Video Outputs: Connect
these outputs to the component video inputs of
a video projector or monitor. When a source
connected to one of the Component Video
Inputs ‹› is selected the signal will be sent
to these jacks.
‹ Video 1/Video 2 Component Video
Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video
outputs of an HDTV Set-top convertor, satellite
receiver, or other video source device with com-
ponent video outputs to these jacks.
› DVD Component Video Inputs: Connect
the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of a DVD
player to these jacks.
fi AC Power Cord Jack: Connect the AC
Power cord to this jack when the installation is
complete. To ensure safe operation, use only
the power cord supplied with the unit. If a
replacement is required it must be of same type
and capacity.
fl Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet: This
outlet may be used to power any AC device.
The power will remain on at this outlet regard-
less of whether the AVR 8000 is on or off.
NOTE: The total power consumption of all
devices connected to the accessory outlets
should not exceed 100 watts.
‡ Switched AC Accessory Outlets: These
outlets may be used to power any device you
wish to have turned on when the AVR 8000 is
turned on with the System Power Control
Button 2.
° Center Speaker Outputs: Connect these
outputs to the matching + and – terminals on
your center channel speaker. In conformance
with the new CEA color code specification, the
Green Terminal is the positive, or "+" terminal
that should be connected to the red (+) termi-
nal on speakers with the older color coding.
Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to
the black negative (–) terminal on your speaker.
(See page 15 for more information on speaker
polarity.)
· 8-Channel Direct Inputs: When an
optional, external source with discrete 7.1 ana-
log audio output capability such as a DVD-
Audio or SACD player is use, connect that unit's
surround back output jacks here.
a Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect
this jack to the coaxial digital input of a
CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other digital recorder.
b Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect the coax
digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer
sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player
or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be
either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS signal or a stan-
dard PCM digital source. Do not connect the RF
digital output of an LD player to these jacks.
c 6-Channel Direct Inputs: When an
optional, external source with discrete 5.1
analog audio output capability such as a
DVD-Audio or SACD player is use, connect
that unit's output jacks here.
NOTE: To assist in making the correct connec-
tions for multichannel input output and speaker
connections, all connection jacks and terminals
have been color coded in conformance with the
latest CEA standards as follows:
Front Left: White
Front Right: Red
Center: Green
Surround Left: Blue
Surround Right: Gray
Surround Back Left: Brown
Surround Back Right: Tan
Subwoofer: Purple
Digital Audio: Orange
Composite Video: Yellow
Component Video "Y": Green
Component Video "Pr": Red
Component Video "Pb": Blue
d Optical Digital Audio Output: Connect
this jack to the optical digital input connector
on a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other digital
recorder.
e Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the opti-
cal digital output from a DVD player, HDTV
receiver, the S/P-DIF output of a compatible
computer sound card playing MP3 files or
streams, LD player or CD player to these jacks.
The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal,
a DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.

f DVD Inputs: Connect the analog left/right
audio and composite or S-Video output of a DVD
player or other video source to these jacks.
g Amplifier Trigger Jack: Connect this jack
to the compatible input trigger jack on a power
amplifier or other relay controlled device. The
connected product will turn on when the AVR is
turned on.
h Multizone IR Input: Connect the output of
an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to
operate the AVR 8000's multiroom control system.
i Remote IR Input: If the AVR 8000'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.
j Remote IR Output: This connection per-
mits 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.
