Signature 2.0

Subwoofer Output

Connect this jack to the

line level mono input of an optional powered sub-

woofer, or the audio input of an external amplifier used

to drive a passive subwoofer. If you are using a passive

subwoofer that has both left and right inputs and no

indication of which to use for mono subwoofer inputs,

it is advisable that a “Y” cable be used so that the signal

is fed to both inputs.

§

RS-232 Control Port:

This jack is provided to

permit operation of the Signature 2.0 by computers or

home automation systems. The use of this control port

requires additional optional software and it is strongly

recommended that a Harman Kardon dealer be consulted

before any connections are made.

IR Input:

If the 2.0’s front panel IR sensor is blocked

due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR

sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to

this jack.

IR Output:

This jack may be connected to other

compatible Harman Kardon products so that they

will receive infrared commands captured by the 2.0’s

remote sensor.

ª

Trigger Output:

If a compatible Signature Series or

Harman Kardon audio power amplifier will be used with

the 2.0, connect the amplifier connection cable supplied

with the 2.0 between this jack and the “Trigger Input” of

the amplifier. When connected by a properly trained

dealer or installer, this output may also be used to control

other devices designed to accept a 6- to 12-volt “Power

On” trigger signal, such as projection television screens or

automatic blinds. The MAXIMUM current draw for all

circuits connected to this output is 150 milliamperes.

AC Power Cord:

Connect this plug to an

unswitched, wall-mounted AC outlet.

S-Video Record Output:

Connect this jack to the

S-Video “REC-IN” input of a VCR.

S-Video input of the TV, video monitor, projector or

display that will be used to view the On-Screen Control

Menus of the 2.0 along with any selected S-Video input.

S-Video Inputs:

Connect the output of S-Video

sources to these input jacks. Once the inputs have been

Connect the output of

composite video sources to these input jacks. Once the

inputs have been connected they may be assigned to any

of the 2.0’s source positions using the Source Menu

(see figure OSD-5 on page 27).

Optical Digital Audio Inputs:

Connect the

Optical (TosLink) digital audio output of audio sources

to these jacks. Once the inputs have been connected

they may be assigned to any of the 2.0’s source

positions using the Source Menu (see figure

OSD-5 on page 27).

°

Coax Digital Audio Inputs:

Connect the coax

digital audio output of audio sources to these jacks. Once

the inputs have been connected they may be assigned to

any of the 2.0’s source positions using the Source

Menu

(see figure OSD-5 on page 27).

AM Antenna Input:

Connect the AM loop antenna

supplied with the 2.0 to these terminals. An external AM

antenna may also be connected here.

a

FM Antenna Input:

Connect an FM antenna

to these terminals. Note that the supplied 300-ohm to

75-ohm adapter is required for connections from twin-

lead dipole antennas.
