INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
the Video 4 inputs set to control a satellite receiver.
However, you may reassign the commands for any
type of device to either button on the remote using
the instruction shown for “Changing Devices” as
shown on page XX. You may also learn the codes
for the device connected to any input by following
the instructions for “Learning Codes” shown on
page XX.
4. Connect the analog left/right audio and composite
video or S-Video and analog left/right audio outputs
of a DVD player to the DVD Audio and Video
Input Jacks §J on the rear panel.
5. Connect the optical or coaxial digital audio outputs
of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box, HDTV
tuner or video game to any of the Optical or
Coaxial Digital Inputs ™∞ . The
recommended connection for a DVD player is to
use a Coaxial digital link connected to the Coaxial
Digital Audio Input 1, but you may change the digi-
tal
audio input assignment for any source using the
IN/OUT SETUP menu as described on
page 21 or the Digital Input Selector p
on the front panel or remote, as described on
page XX.
NOTE: When connecting a device such as a digital
cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digital
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 digital feed is interrupted
or not available for a particular channel.
6. Connect the Video Monitor Output O jacks on
the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of
your television monitor or video projector.
7. If your DVD Player has Y/Pr/Pb analog component
video outputs, connect them to the DVD Com
ponent Video Inputs %. Although this set of
inputs may be assigned to any of the five video
inputs on the AVR 7 30 0, the factory default is for
this input to be assigned to the DVD. Remember to
make a digital audio connection between the DVD
player and the AVR, with the Coaxial Digital
Input 1 being the factory default. For informa-
tion on changing the input assignments for either
the component video jacks or the DVD player’s
audio connection, see page XX.
8. If you have other devices with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB
component video outputs, connect the source
device to the Component Video 1 or 2 Inputs
GH. The audio connections may be made to
any of the ?????? panel audio inputs or the
Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs ®ß
. When using either of the Component
Video Inputs, make certain that the audio and video
inputs are properly configured in the IN/OUT
SETUP menu, as described on page XX.
9. If the component video inputs are used, connect
the Component Video Monitor Outputs E to
the component video inputs of your TV, projector or
other display device.
10.If you have a camcorder, video game or other
audio/video device that is connected to the DPR
on a temporary, rather than permanent, basis, con-
nect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of
that device to
the Front-Panel Inputs
.A device connected
here is selected as the
Video 5 input, and the digital inputs must be
assigned to the Video 5 input. (See page 21 for
more information on input configuration.)
Video Connection Notes:
When connecting the AVR 7300 to a “digital ready”,
HDTV compatible” or High Definition display, which is
any device capable of accepting an input signal of
480P or higher, you are able to take advantage of
the unit’s advanced video processing circuitry con-
verts all incoming video signals, regardless of the way
they are connected to the AVR. Since the AVR 73 00
is also among the very few products that display the
on-screen menus with up-converted video, the con-
nection from the AVR 7300 to the display need only
be one set of Y/Pr/Pb component video cables.
When source devices such as a progressive scan
DVD player or HDTV set-top box are connected to
the AVR 7300 via component video connections, it
is also necessary to connect the standard, composite
or S-Video outputs of the source device to the AVR
7300 if you wish to take advantage of the record
outputs or have video routed to a second room. The
record outputs and multiroom system cannot accept
component inputs, nor are component inputs down
converted for use with these outputs.
When connecting the AVR 7300 to a standard, ana-
log video display that has standard composite and
S-Video inputs only, component video inputs may
not be used. If you have a mix of composite and S-
Video input sources, note that the AVR 730 0 will
down convert S-Video inputs to a composite output,
but it will not convert composite video to S-Video.
System and Power Connections
The AVR 7 300 is designed for flexible use with multi-
room systems, external control components and
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 D 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 C 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 Multiroom IR Input D jack on the AVR 730 0’s
rear panel.
If other Harman Kardon compatible source equipment
is part of the main room installation, the Remote IR
Output
C
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 “daisy chain. Connect the IR OUT
jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish
this chain.
Multiroom Connections
The AVR 7 300 is equipped with multizone capabilities
that allow it to send an audio and/or video source to
a remote zone that i s different from the one selected
for use in the main room. Please note that this capa-
bility applies to analog inputs from sources such as the
AVR’s tuner, tape decks or VCRs. If you wish to use a
source such as a DVD or CD player that is normally
connected via a digital connection, it is necessary to
run an analog connection from the source to the AVR
or to use the Main Downmix input option, as explained
on page XX.
Depending on your system’s requirement,
three options are available for remote room audio
connection:
Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio intercon-
nect cable from the AVR 7300s location to the
remote room. In the remote room, connect the inter-
connect cable to an optioinal external stereo power
amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s
speakers. At the AVR 730 0, plug the audio intercon-
nect cables into the Multiroom Audio Outputs ø
on the DPR 2005 ’s rear panel.
