Connect to the line level mono

input of an optional powered sub-woofer, or the audio
input of an external amplifier used to drive a passive
subwoofer. If a passive subwoofer has both left and right
inputs and no indication of which to use for mono
subwoofer inputs, it is advisable that a “Y” cable be used
to feed the signal to both inputs.

§

Permits operation by

computers or home automation systems. Requires
additional optional software and it is strongly
recommended that a Harman Kardon dealer be consulted
before any connections are made.

¶

If the 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.

Harman Kardon products so that they will receive infrared
commands captured by the 2.0’s remote sensor.

ª

If a compatible Signature Series or

Harman Kardon audio power amplifier will be used with
the 2.0, connect the amplifier connection cable supplied
with the 2.0 between this jack and the “Trigger Input” of
the amplifier. When connected by a properly trained
dealer or installer, this output may also be used to control
other devices designed to accept a 6- to 12-volt “Power
On” trigger signal, such as projection television screens or
automatic blinds. The MAXIMUM current draw for all
circuits connected to this output is 150 milliamperes.
