User manual HARMAN KARDON AVR 1650 QUICK START GUIDE

[. . . ] An owner's manual containing complete information about operating all of your new AVR's features is available at our Web site. Go to www. harmankardon. com and download the AVR 1650 / AVR165 Owner's Manual. Introduction, Speaker Placement and Connection Place Your Speakers Determine the locations for your system's speakers according to their manufacturer's directions and the layout of your listening room. [. . . ] Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables, although you can assign one of the digital audio connectors to one of the HDMI inputs. If you have a TV or other source device equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Monitor Out connection's Audio Return Channel, and it will not require additional audio connections to the AVR. Refer to the complete AVR 1650/AVR 165 Owner's Manual, downloadable at www. harmankardon. com, for details. AVR HDMI Connectors Component Video Device If your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player does not have an HDMI connector but does have a component video connector, using the component video connector will provide superior video performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the player to the AVR. AVR DVD Component Video Connectors Component Video Cable (not supplied) HDMI Cable (not supplied) To Component Video Outputs To HDMI Output Component Video-Equipped Blu-ray Disc or DVD Player 4 HDMI-Equipped Source Device AVR 1650, AVR 165 Composite Video Devices You will need to make composite video connections from your source devices that do not have HDMI or component video connections. You will also need to make an audio connection from the device to the AVR. Note: If you connected your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player to the AVR's DVD Component In connectors, do not connect a source device to the AVR's composite DVD In connector. AVR Digital Audio Connectors Connections Coaxial Digital Audio Devices If your source devices have coaxial digital outputs, connect them to the AVR's coaxial digital audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each device. AVR Composite Video Connectors Coaxial Digital Audio Cable (not supplied) Composite Video Cable (not supplied) To Coaxial Digital Audio Output To Composite Video Output Coaxial-Equipped Source Device Composite Video-Equipped Source Device Analog Audio Devices Make analog audio connections from your source devices that do not have HDMI or digital audio connections. If you're connecting video sources to the AVR's DVD, Video 1 or Video 2 audio inputs, you must also connect the source device's composite video output to the corresponding composite video connector. Optical Digital Audio Devices If your source devices have optical digital outputs, connect them to the AVR's optical digital audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each device.
