User manual HARMAN KARDON HK570I

[. . . ] When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. [. . . ] If some speakers have their negative terminals connected to the receiver's positive terminals, performance can suffer, especially for the low frequencies. Always connect the positive terminal on the loudspeaker, which is usually colored red, to the positive terminal on the receiver, also colored red. Similarly, always connect the black negative terminal on the speaker to the black negative terminal on the receiver. The HK570I uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept banana plugs or bare-wire cables. Banana plugs are simply plugged into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap. See Figure 1. Figure 1 ­ Binding-Post Speaker Terminals With Banana Plugs + L R Subwoofer Figure 3 ­ Subwoofer Bare-wire cables are installed as follows (see Figure 2): 1. Unscrew the terminal cap until the pass-through hole in the collar is revealed. Screw the cap back into place until the wire is held snugly. Connecting Source Devices to the HK570I The HK570I is designed to process audio and video input signals, playing back the audio and displaying the video on a television or monitor connected to it. These signals originate in what are known as "source devices, " including your DVD player, CD player, DVR (digital video recorder) or other recorder, tape deck, game console, cable or 13 CONNECTIONS satellite television box, or MP3 player. Although the tuner is built into the HK570I, it also counts as a source, even though no external connections are needed, other than the FM and AM antennas. Separate connections are required for the audio and video portions of the signal. Antennas The HK570I uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas that provide proper reception for the tuner. Connect the front left and right loudspeakers to the Speaker 1 speaker terminals on the HK570I. Maintain the proper polarity by always connecting the positive and negative terminals on each speaker to the positive and negative terminals on the receiver. You may place a second pair of speakers in another room, or in the same room for additional sound power, connecting those speakers to the Speaker 2 Outputs, and maintaining polarity. Use the Speaker 1/2 Selector on the front panel or remote to activate either or both pairs of speakers simultaneously. See Figure 9. Figure 10 ­ Subwoofer Connection SUB Step Three ­ Connect the Antennas Connect the FM and AM antennas to their terminals. See Figure 11.

Right (Spkr 1) Right (Spkr 2) Left (Spkr 2) Left (Spkr 1) Figure 9 ­ Speaker Connections Step Two ­ Connect the Subwoofer Connect the Subwoofer Outputs on the HK570I to the line-level inputs on your subwoofer. Thus, you have the option of connecting each jack to the line-level input on a separate subwoofer. If both pairs of main speaker outputs are in use in different locations, you may install a separate subwoofer with each speaker pair. If you have only one subwoofer with a single line-level input, connect it to the right Subwoofer Output on the HK570I. For optional auto turn-on/turn-off control over the subwoofer, connect the Subwoofer Trigger Output for each subwoofer to the corresponding trigger input on its amplifier. This enables the subwoofer to turn on or off together with the HK570I. [. . . ] Press the Preset Scan Button on the front panel or remote to scan through the previously programmed preset stations. The tuner will pause for five seconds at each frequency before tuning to the next preset. Press the Preset Scan Button again to select the current station and stop scanning. Figure 37 ­ Programming Presets Auto Preset You may automatically program all FM radio stations in your area that are received with acceptable signal strength into the HK570I's presets. Press and hold the Auto Preset Button until the Memory and Preset Indicators flash in the front-panel display. [. . . ]
