CONNECTIONS

Do not confuse component video connections with composite video

(described above). Although the plugs and jacks may look similar, they

are not compatible and cross-connecting them will result in no picture

or a very distorted picture. Remember that component video uses three

connections, colored green, blue and red, while composite video uses

a single connection, which is often color-coded yellow.

Figure 10 – Component Video

If it’s available on your video display, HDMI is recommended as the

best-quality connection, followed in preference by component video,

S-video and then composite video.

Antennas

The HS 500 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM

antennas that provide proper reception for the tuner.

The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. See Figure 11.

Figure 11 – FM Antenna

The AM loop antenna needs to be assembled. Then connect the two

leads to the spring terminals on the receiver, being certain to connect

the white wire to the terminal marked “AM”, and the black wire to the

terminal marked “GND.” See Figure 12.

Remote IR Input and Output

The HS 500 is equipped with an infrared input and output to facilitate

use of your system with a remote control in a variety of situations.

When the HS 500 is placed in such a way that aiming the remote at the

front-panel IR sensor is difficult, such as inside a cabinet or facing away

from the listener, you may connect an external IR receiver, such as the

optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack.

If any of your source devices are equipped with a compatible remote IR

input, you may use a 1/8" mini-plug interconnect cable (not included) to

connect the Remote IR Output to the source device’s remote IR input,

which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted through the

HS 500 to the source device. This enables you to control your sources

even when the HS 500 itself is controlled via an external IR receiver.

To control more than one source device using the Remote IR Output,

connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, with the HS 500’s Remote

IR Output connected to the first device’s remote IR input, that device’s

remote IR output connected to the next device’s remote IR input, and

so forth.

NOTE: Not all remote controllable devices are equipped with

compatible IR inputs and outputs. Check with the manufacturer

of the source device for more information on the type of IR

signal expected. The HS 500 will output a “stripped carrier”

IR signal.
