16 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
3. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a
DVD or laser disc player to the DVD Inputs .
4. Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player
satellite receiver cable box or HDTV converter to
the appropriate
Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs
j &(.
5. Connect the Video Monitor Output d jacks on
the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of
your television monitor or video projector
6. If your DVD player and monitor both have compo-
nent video connections connect the component
outputs of the DVD player to the
DVD Component
Video Inputs fi. Even when component video
connections are used, the audio connections should
still be made to either the analog
DVD Audio
Inputs ¤ or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital
Input Jacks j .
7. If another device with component video outputs is
available connect it to the
Video 2 Component
Video Inputs fl. The audio connections for this
device should be made to either the Video 2
Inputs ª or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital
Input Jacks &(j
.
8. If the component video inputs are used, connect
the
Component ‡ to
the component video inputs of your projector or
display device
9. If you have a camcorder video game or other
audio/video device that is connected to the
a temporary rather than permanent, basis
the audio video and digital audio outputs of that
device to the
Front-P&(Ó.A
device connected here is selected as the
input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the
Video 4 input. (See page 19 for more information
on input configuration.)
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
ite S-Video or
However it will not convert composite or S signals
to component video
• Component or composite video signals may only be
viewed in their native formats
System and Power Connections

power amplifiers
Main Room Remote Control Extension
If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked
glass cabinet door the obstruction may prevent the
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 IR Input § jack.
If other components are also prevented from receiving
remote commands only one sensor is needed. Simply
use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a
connection from the Remote IR Output ∞ jack to
the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other
compatible equipment.
Multiroom IR Link
The remote room IR receiver should be connected to
the
connection cable into the
Multiroom IR Input ¶ jack
on the
If other Harman Kardon compatible source equipment
is part of the main room installation, the
Remote IR
Output ∞ jack on the rear panel should be connected
to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable
the remote room location to control source equipment
functions
NOTE: All remotely controlled components must be
linked together in a ” Connect the IR OUT
jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish
this chain.
Multiroom Connections
The
that allow it to send a separate audio source to the
remote zone from the one selected for use in the
main room.
Depending on your system’s requirement, three
options are available for audio connection:
Option 1: Use high-quality
nect cable from the
remote room. In the remote room, connect the inter-
connect cable to a stereo power amplifier The amplifier
will be connected to the room’s speakers At the
AVR 7200, plug the audio interconnect cables into the
Multiroom Audio g jacks on the A
rear panel.
Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio g
jacks on the 7200 to the inputs of an optional
stereo power amplifier Run high-quality speaker wire
from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.
Option 3: Taking advantage of the A
in seven-channel amplifier it is possible to use two of
the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote
room. When using this option you will not be able to
use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the
in the main listening room, but you will be able to
add another listening room without additional external
power amplifiers T
power a remote zone connect the speakers for
the remote room location to the
Surround Back/
Multiroom Speaker Outputs ¡. Before using the
remote room, you will need to configure the amplifiers
for surround operation by changing a setting in the
Advanced Select menu, following the instructions
shown on page 34.
NOTE: For all options

A-BUS Installation Connections

opera-
tion. When used with an optional
control module you have all the benefits of remote
zone operation without the need for an external power
amplifier
To use the
uct, simply connect the keypad or module that is in
the remote room to the
“Category 5” wiring that is properly rated for the in-
wall use specific to the installation. T
wiring at the receiver end to a standard RJ-45 jack
in compliance with the instructions furnished with the
A-BUS module
No further installation or adjustment is needed, as the
A-BUS connector on the
in and out of the keypad to their proper destination for
power signal source and control. The output fed to the
A-BUS jack is determined by the A
room system, and the menus may be used as is
RS-232 Connections
The
connection that may be used to control the unit via
optional compatible external keypads or control sys-
tems The physical connection to the
the control device is a standard D-9 connection, but
to ensure compatible and proper operation, specific
software commands and pin wiring schemes are
required. Due to the complexity of RS-232
connections they must be made only by trained
installers familiar with their use T
