Ac Power Connections - Harman Kardon AVR 140 Owner's Manual

connected to these jacks, we recommend con-
necting your video recorder so that you may take
advantage of the fact that the remote control is
preprogrammed with video recorder product codes
for the Video 1 device.
2. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of
a satellite receiver, cable TV converter, television
set or any other video source to the Video 2
Audio/Video and S-Video Input Jacks OU.
Although any video device may be connected to
these jacks, we recommend connecting your cable
TV converter or satellite receiver so that you may
take advantage of the fact that the remote control is
preprogrammed with the product codes of these
device types for the Video 2 device.
3. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of
a television or other video device to the front-panel
Video 3 Audio and Video Input Jacks ÓÔ.
Although any video or audio device may be con-
nected to these jacks, we recommend connecting
your television, to take advantage of the fact that
the remote control is preprogrammed with televi-
sion product codes for the Video 3 device.
Important: If you are only using the television as a
display device (i.e., if you receive your television
programs through a cable box or satellite receiver),
do not connect the TV's outputs to the Video 3
Audio and Video Input Jacks ÓÔ, or to any
other inputs on the AVR 140.
4. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a
DVD or laser disc player to the DVD Audio/Video
and S-Video Inputs ai.
5. Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player,
satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to
the appropriate Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs
·d*(. Remember that the DVD source
defaults to the Coaxial 1 Digital Input ·, and
the Video 2/Cable/Sat source defaults to the
Optical 1 Digital Audio Input d. All other
sources default to their analog inputs, although any
source may be assigned to any digital audio input
on the receiver.
NOTE: When connecting a device such as a digital
cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digi-
tal audio output, we recommend that you connect
both the digital and analog outputs of the product
to your AVR. The audio input polling feature of the
AVR will then be able to make certain that you have
a constant audio feed, since it will automatically
switch the audio input to the analog jacks if the dig-
ital feed is inter-rupted or not available for a particu-
lar channel.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
6. Connect the Video and/or S-Video Monitor
Output °h jacks on the receiver to the com-
posite or S-video input of your television monitor or
video projector.
7. If both your video display monitor and at least one
video source device (such as a DVD player or
HDTV set-top box) are equipped with component
video capability, then you may connect the compo-
nent video outputs of the device to one of the two
Component Video Inputs ⁄¤.
It is recommended that you connect a DVD player
or a digital recorder to the Component Video 1
Inputs ⁄, as this input is assigned to the DVD,
CD, Tuner and Tape sources by default. Thus,
whenever any of these sources is selected, you
may view the component video output of the device
connected to the Component Video 1 Inputs ⁄,
enabling you to view and listen to different sources.
Similarly, we recommend that you connect any
other audio/video device that is equipped with com-
ponent video outputs (such as a DVD-Audio or
SACD player or HDTV set-top box) to the Video 1,
Video 2 or Video 3 sources, or the 6/8-channel
direct inputs, as the Component Video 2 Inputs
¤ are assigned to the Video 1, Video 2, Video 3
and 6/8-channel source audio inputs by default.
However, you may connect any component video
source to either set of component video inputs, as
they are assignable to any source. You will still need
to connect either the analog or digital audio outputs
of your component video device to the analog
audio inputs corresponding to the source (such
as DVD or Video 2 for a cable converter box), or
to any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio
Inputs ·d*(, or to the 6/8-Channel
Direct Input P.
8. If the component video inputs are used, connect
the Component Video Monitor Outputs ‚ to
the component video inputs of your TV, projector
or display device.
9. If you have a camcorder, video game or other
audio/video device that is connected to the AVR
on a temporary rather than permanent basis,
connect the audio, video and digital audio outputs
of that device to the front-panel Video 3 Inputs
*(ÓÔ. A device connected here is selected
as the Video 3 input, and the digital inputs must be
assigned to the Video 3 input. (See page 17 for
more information on input configuration.)
NOTE: The AVR 140 is shipped with two covers
that may be installed over the front-panel input
jacks when they are not in use.
VIDEO CONNECTION NOTES:
• When the component video jacks are used, the on-
screen menus are not visible and you must switch
to the standard composite or S-video input on your
TV to view them.
• The AVR 140 will accept either standard composite,
S-video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals.
However, it will not convert composite or S signals
to component video.
• When connecting a video source to the AVR 140,
you may use either composite, component or S-
video, but only one type of video may be connect-
ed for each device.
• When more than one video format is used, it is
necessary to make a separate connection from
the AVR to your video display for each format.
For example, if both composite and component
sources are connected to the AVR 140, both the
Composite and Component Video Monitor
Outputs ‚h must be connected to the appro-
priate inputs on your video display.
• When source devices such as a progressive scan
DVD player or an HDTV set-top box are connected
to the AVR 140 via component video connections,
if you wish to take advantage of the record outputs,
it is also necessary to connect the standard, com-
posite or S-video outputs of the source device to
the AVR 140. The record outputs cannot accept
component inputs, nor are component inputs down-
converted for use with the record outputs.

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 equip-
ment such as power amplifiers. The total power draw
to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.
The Switched AC Accessory Outlet › will receive
power only when the unit is on. This is recommended
for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical
power switch that may be left in the "ON" position.
NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a
Standby mode when they are used with switched out-
lets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet
alone without a remote control command.
The Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet fi will
receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a
powered AC outlet.
Once the AC Power Cord ‹ is connected, you are
almost ready to enjoy the AVR 140's incredible power
and fidelity!
