Audio Signal Connections - Harman Kardon PA 2000 Owner's Manual

Audio Signal Connections

Audio connections for the PA 2000 are straight-
forward: connect the output of the source unit,
which may be the multiroom outputs of an AV
receiver or "whole-house" audio system or the
rear surround outputs of a processor or a
receiver to the audio Input Jacks ¡.
In some multiroom systems, you may wish to
have the same signal feed multiple amplifiers.
In that type of installation, the input feed to the
PA 2000 may be daisy-chained to an additional
amplifier by connecting the audio Output
Jacks ™ on the PA 2000 to the input jacks on
a second PA 2000 or another amplifier.
When making connections with the RCA-type
plugs on interconnect cables, make certain to
gently but firmly insert them into the jacks on
the back of the PA 2000. Loose connections
can cause intermittent sound and may damage
your speakers. The barrel assembly of some
high-quality RCA plugs may be very tight, and it
is important to ensure a proper connection
between the interconnection cable and the
input jack.
AC Power Connection
The final step in the installation of the PA 2000
is to connect the power cord. First, connect the
female end of the cord into the AC Power
Cord Receptacle ª on the rear panel.
Once the cord as been firmly connected to
the PA 2000, insert the plug end into an AC
power outlet.
SAFETY NOTES:
• Due to the current draw of the PA 2000, DO
NOT connect the power cord to the accessory
outlet on audio/video components.
• Should the power cord become lost or dam-
aged, be certain to replace it with a replace-
ment that meets or exceed the original speci-
fications. Use of power cords with insufficient
capacity, such as those used with computers
or office equipment, may create a safety
hazard.
