with the PT2500, connect this jack to
compatible products such as the
PA5800 for automatic turn on/off
operation.
fi AC Power Cord: Connect this
plug to an unswitched, wall mounted
AC outlet.
fl Unswitched Accessory AC
Power Outlet: This outlet provides
AC power that may used with any AC
device up to 100 watts. The power
will remain on at this outlet regardless
of whether the PT2500 is on or off.
‡ Switched Accessory AC Power
Outlet: This outlet provides AC
power to connected products only
when the PT2500 is turned on. Note
that the total current draw of the
products may not exceed 100 watts.
° Remote Control Extension
Output: This jack may be connect-
ed to other compatible Harman
Kardon products so that they will
receive infrared commands cap-
tured by the PT2500’s remote sen-
sor.
· Remote Control Extension Input:
If the PT2500’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.
a Surround Channel Outputs:
Connect these jacks to the surround
channel inputs of a power amplifier
or digital audio processor with pass
through capability.
b Center Channel Outputs:
Connect the output of one of these
jacks to the center channel input of
a power amplifier or digital audio
processor with pass through capa-
bility.
NOTE: In most applications only one
center channel connection will be
required. The output of both jacks is
identical, and either jack may be
used for system connections.
c Front Channel Outputs:
Connect these jacks to the front
left/right channel inputs of a power
amplifier or digital audio processor
with pass through capability.
d Subwoofer Outputs: Connect
these jacks to the line level input of a
powered subwoofer, or to the inputs
of a subwoofer amplifier.
NOTE: This output is a full range
left/right signal. For proper operation
BOTH jacks must be connected to
the left/right inputs of a powered
subwoofer, or a “Y” cable must be
used to connect the two outputs
together if a single input mono sub-
woofer is used.
WARNING: Since this is a full range
output, the signal must be sent
through a crossover or low pass filter
before being used with a passive
subwoofer or other speaker that
does not contain a built in crossover.
e AM Antenna Input: Connect the
AM loop antenna supplied with the
PT2500 to these terminals. An exter-
nal AM antenna may also be con-
nected here.
f FM Antenna Input: Connect an
FM antenna to these terminals. Note
that a 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter is
required for connections from twin
lead dipole antennas.
