Installation
ENGLISH
To prevent possible damage to your speakers
and other components in your audio system, it is
important that ALL components, including the
HD 950 and your receiver or preamp and
amplifiers, are turned off and unplugged from
their AC power source when installing any new
component.
Connecting the HD 950 to your audio system is
simple. Using standard RCA-to-RCA interconnect
cords, connect the left and right
Audio Output
jacks
™
on the rear panel to the CD input jacks
on your receiver, surround processor or
preamplifier.
If your system includes an optional external
digital-to-analog converter, or if you are using a
receiver or other processor that has the
capability to decode PCM digital input signals,
connect the
Digital Output
jack
¡
to the
Coaxial or Optical Digital input on the decoder.
Make certain to use a coaxial-style interconnect
cable, as standard audio cables will not perform
as well.
Install two AA batteries by turning the remote
over so that you are holding the bottom side up.
Press lightly on the embossed arrow on the
cover and gently slide the cover towards you in
the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries
inside the compartment, being careful to follow
the + and – polarity indications at the bottom of
the compartment. Replace the cover by placing it
on the remote and sliding it back towards the
top of the remote.
NOTE:
When replacing batteries, always replace
both at the same time. When the unit will not be
used for an extended period of time, it is also a
good idea to remove the batteries so that the
potential for corrosion or damage is avoided.
If the HD 950 is installed behind a cabinet or
other obstruction that may block the path
between the front-panel
Remote Sensor
and
the location of the remote, an optional external
IR sensor may be used. Connect the sensor to
the
Remote IR-In Jack
£
on the rear panel.
This jack may also be connected to the
IR-Output jack of another compatible
Harman Kardon component or a compatible
IR-system- remote product.
You may also use the IR Sensor in the HD 950 to
send commands to other compatible remote
controlled products. Connect the
Remote IR-
Out jack
¢
to the input of the other product
or system.
Connect the power to a nonswitched AC wall
outlet or to the accessory outlet on the rear of
another audio device in your system and you are
ready to go!
NOTE:
When using the accessory outlet on
another product to power the HD 950 make
certain that it has the compatibility to power a
device that draws at least 14 watts of current in
addition to being able to handle the
requirements of the other devices that may be
plugged into the accessory outlets. If you use a
“switched” outlet, it is important to remember
that the host product must be turned on in order
for the HD 950 to operate.
