Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the amplifier. Moving the Unit Before moving the unit, be sure to pull out the power cord from the AC outlet and disconnect the interconnection cords with other units.

INTRODUCTION 3 Connections Speaker System 1 Right channel Record Player Cassette Tape Deck CD Recorder Speaker System 1 Left channel To wall outlet Right channel Speaker System 2 Left channel Speaker System 2 External Power Amp Video Player 2 Video Player 1 Tuner Compact Disc Player Connecting Other Components 1. Connect each component's Output/Play jacks to the corresponding Input jacks on the back of your amplifier and, if available, the component's Input/Record jacks to the Output jacks of the HK505. Use the white, black or gray plugs to connect Left channel jacks; use the red plugs for Right channel jacks. A record player with MM cartridge must be connected to the Phono Input jacks and a separate ground wire to the ground terminal screw above. Wired Remote Control To control your amplifier with an external infrared remote sensor, connect the wire from the remote sensor to the REMOTE IN jack on the back panel. Or, if another stereo component has a built-in infrared remote sensor and a Remote Output jack, it may be possible to connect this jack to the REMOTE IN jack of your amplifier. All Harman Kardon products with »Remote In« and »Remote Out« jacks are compatible with one another, except for the Citation 22, 24 and 25. Other manufacturers' remote sensors and components may not be compatible, but it will not hurt to experiment. · Note that DVD players or tape decks cannot be controlled by the remote. · To control a compatible CD Recorder "CDR" must be selected as input and the drive to be controlled (CDP or CDR) must be selected appropriately with the "CDP SELECT" or "CDR SELECT" buttons. Operating Conditions The control unit operates effectively within a distance of 7 meters and an angle of 30° from the amplifier. Using the control near fluorescent lights may shorten this range, as will any dust or dirt that accumulates on the front of the remote control or the remote sensor area of the amplifier. The control unit is powered by two AA batteries, included with your amplifier. When the remote is to be unused for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent damage from corrosion.
