¡ Optical Digital Output: Connect this jack
to the optical digital input of an A/V receiver or
surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or
PCM audio playback.

™ Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack
to the coaxial digital input of an A/V receiver or
surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or
PCM audio playback.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be
connected to a digital input. Even though it is
the same RCA-type connector as standard ana-
log audio connections, DO NOT connect it to a
conventional analog input jack.

£ Analog Audio Outputs: Connect these
jacks to an audio input on an A/V receiver or
surround processor for analog audio playback.

¢ Composite Video Output: Connect this
jack to the video input on a television or video
projector, or to a video input on an A/V receiver
or processor if you are using that type of device
for video input switching.

∞ S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the
S-Video input on a television or video projector,
or to an S-Video input on an A/V receiver or
processor if you are using that type of device for
S-Video input switching.

§ SCART IN (AUX): If an external playback
unit has a SCART socket, you can connect a
SCART cable to it and to your DVD Player. The
SCART cable carries both audio and video sig-
nals of the external unit. These signals will be
routed through the SCART connector of the DVD
to the TV automatically when the DVD player is
turned off (in Standby) and the external unit
plays.

¶ SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a SCART
socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your
TV and to your DVD Player for improved video
quality. The SCART cable carries both audio and
video. You can select Video (composite),
S-Video and RGB video for that SCART 
connector’s video output signal (see page 19).
Your DVD 20 is equipped with two SCART con-
nectors, one for direct connection to the TV, the
second for throughput of VCR (playback only) or
any other playback video source to a TV with
only one SCART input.

• Remote Control Output: Connect this
jack to the infrared (IR) input jack of another
compatible Harman Kardon remote controlled
product to have the built-in Remote Sensor on
the DVD 20 provide IR signals to other compati-
ble products.

ª Remote Control Input: Connect the out-
put of a remote infrared sensor, or the remote
control output of another compatible Harman
Kardon product, to this jack. This will enable the
remote control to operate even when the front
panel Remote Sensor on the DVD 20 is
blocked. This jack may also be used with com-
patible IR remote control-based automation sys-
tems.

‚ AC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an
AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch,
make certain that it is in the ON position.

Note: You’ll find more details about all
Audio/Video connections under Setup and
Connections on the following pages.
