14 14 CONNECTIONS There are different types of audio and video connections used to connect the receiver to the speakers and video display , and to connect the source devices to the receiver . T o make it easier to keep them all straight, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA ® ) has established a color -coding standard.
15 15 CONNECTIONS Video Connections Although some sources produce an audio signal only (e .g., CD player , tape deck), many sources output both audio and video signals (e .g ., DVD player , cable television box, HDTV tuner , satellite box, VCR, DVR). In addition to the audio connection, you will need to make a video connection for each source .
16 16 SPEAKER PLACEMENT Before you begin to connect cables , it is important to set up your speakers in their correct locations in the room. Optimally , the front left and right speakers are placed the same distance from each other as from the listening position, or about 60 degrees apart, and angled toward the listener .
17 Y ou are now ready to connect your various components to your receiver . Before beginning , make sure that all components , including the HK 3485, are turned completely off and their power cords are unplugged. Don’t plug any of the power cords back in until you ha ve finished making all of your connections.

19 INST ALLA TION Video 2 Source The Video 2 source is used only for playback. Since the remote is prepro- grammed to operate a Harman Kardon DVD player when the Video 2 source is selected, we recommend that you connect a DVD player to the Video 2 Inputs .
20 20 INST ALLA TION connect the HK 3485’s Remote IR Output to the source device’ s Remote IR Input, which will pass any applicable remote signals trans- mitted through the HK 3485 to the source device .
