CONNECTIONS
• If you are using the DVD 38 with a multiroom receiver/
processor that is capable of distributing video, connect the
DVD 38’s Composite Video Output to the receiver in addition
to the HDMI, Component Video or S-Video Output.
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. Except as indicated above for use
in a multiroom system, do not connect more than one video output from
the DVD 38 to another device.
Remote IR Input and Output
The DVD 38 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 DVD 38 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 your receiver or any of your other components are equipped with a
compatible remote IR input, you may use the included 1/8" mini-plug
interconnect cable to connect the Remote IR Output to the device’s
remote IR input, which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted
through the DVD 38 to the other device. This enables you to control
your devices even when the DVD 38 itself is controlled via an external
IR receiver.
To control more than one device using the Remote IR Output, connect
all devices in “daisy chain” fashion, with the receiver’s remote IR output
connected to the DVD 38’s Remote IR input, then the DVD 38’s Remote
IR Output connected to the next 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 DVD 38 will output a “stripped carrier”
IR signal.
