12 VIDEO AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
VIDEO AND SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
A Amp T rigger: Connect this jack to the “T rigger In”
jack of an optional, external power amplifier that is
equipped for remote turn-on via a 6-volt signal. When
this connection is used, the A VR 7300 will automatically
send a low-voltage signal that turns on the amp when the
A VR is on, and since the signal is not present when the
A VR is turned off , the amplifier will also turn off with the
A VR 7300.
B Multiroom IR Input: Connect the output of an IR
sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the
A VR’s multiroom control system.
C Remote IR Output: This connection permits the
IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote-con-
trolled devices . Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on
Harman Kardon (or other compatible) equipment.
D Remote IR Input: If the A VR 7300’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.
E Component Video Monitor 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 FGH is
selected, the signal will be sent to these jacks .
F DVD Component Video Inputs: Connect the
component video outputs of a DVD player or any
other video source equipped with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB
component video outputs to these jacks . The factor y
default is for these jacks to be linked to the DVD
Audio Inputs © and the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio
Input †, but you may change the setting at any time
through the IN/OUT SETUP menu. See page
23 for more information on configuring the compo-
nent video inputs .
G Component Video 2 Inputs: These inputs may
be used with any video source device equipped with
analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs . The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Video 2 through Video 4 inputs , but you may change
the setting at any time through the IN/OUT
SETUP menu. See page 23 for more information
on configuring the component video inputs .
H Component Video 1 Inputs: These inputs may
be used with any video source device equipped with
analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs . The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Video 1 input, but you may change the setting at any
time through the IN/OUT SETUP menu. See
page 23 for more information on configuring the
component video inputs .
I DVD Video Inputs: The default use for these
inputs is the connection to the composite and/or S-
Video output of a DVD player , but they may be used
with a different video source if desired.
J Video Monitor Outputs: When using an analog
video display that has only standard composite and
S-Video inputs , connect the output of these jacks
(depending on which types of video are used by your
source devices) to the matching inputs on your televi-
sion or video display . When using a “digital ready” or
HDTV display that is compatible with 480P or higher
inputs , you do not need to make these connections as
all incoming video will be up-scaled to 480P and sent
through the Component Video Monitor Jacks E
with the OSD messages .
K Video 4 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or
S-Video jacks of a video device to these jacks . The
A VR 7300’s remote control has a satellite receiver as
the default for this input, but you may connect any
video source such as a VCR, HDTV receiver , personal
video recorder , or other device to these inputs . (See
page 23 for more information on configuring an input
for various source options .)
L A-BUS Connectors:
Connect these jacks to an
optional
A-BUS
®
-certified remote modules to extend the
multiroom capabilities of your AVR 7300. See page 20
for more information on A-BUS .
M Video 1 Video Outputs:
Connect the composite
S-Video RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording device
such as a VCR, DVD-Recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks .
N Video 1 Video Inputs:
Connect the composite or
S-Video PLA Y/OUT jacks of a video recording device
such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks . The A VR 7300’s remote control has a
VCR as the default for this input, but you may connect
any video source such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top
box, personal video recorder , or other device to these
inputs . (See page 23 for more information on configuring
an input for various source options .)
O Multiroom Video Outputs:
Connect these jacks to
the cabling and/or an optional, external video distribution
amplifier that delivers the video source selected for the
multizone distribution to the remote rooms .
P AC Power Cord Jack: Connect the AC power
cord to this jack when the installation is complete .
T o ensure safe operation, use only the power cord
supplied with the unit. If a replacement is required,
it must be of the same type and capacity .
Q Uns witched AC Outlet: This outlet may be used
to power any AC device as long as its power con-
sumption does not exceed 100 watts . The power
will remain available at this outlet as long as the
A VR 7300 is plugged into an AC power source ,
regardless of whether the AVR itself is on or off .
R Switched AC Outlets: These outlets may be used
to power AC devices that you wish to have turn on
and off when the AVR is turned on or off . The total
power consumption of all devices connected to the
two outlets may not exceed 100 watts .
S RS-232 Port: This jack may be used to control
the AVR 7300 over a bi-directional RS-232 serial
control link to a compatible computer or programmable
remote control system. Due to the complexity of
programming RS-232 commands , we strongly
recommend that connections to this port for control
purposes be made by a trained and qualified
technician. This jack may also link to a compatible
computer to upgrade the software and operating sys-
tem of the AVR 7300 when appropriate upgrades are
available .
T Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-
Video PLA Y/OUT jacks of a video recording device such
as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder to
these jacks . The AVR 7300’ s remote control has a VCR
as the default for this input, but you may connect any
video source such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top box,
personal video recorder , or other device to these inputs .
(See page 23 for more information on configuring an
input for various source options .)
U Video 2 Video Outputs: Connect the composite or
S-Video RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording device
such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder
to these jacks .
V Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect the composite
or S-Video jacks of a video device to these jacks . The
A VR 7300’s remote control has a satellite receiver as
the default for this input, but you may connect any
video source such as a VCR, HDTV receiver , personal
video recorder , or other device to these inputs . (See
page 23 for more information on configuring an input
for various source options .)
W FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor or an
optional external FM antenna to this terminal.
X AM Antenna: Connect the AM loop antenna sup-
plied with the receiver to these ter minals . If an external
AM antenna is used, make connections to th e AM and
GND terminals in accordance with the instructions
supplied with the antenna.
