6HD 990 Rear Panel Connections Digital Output: connect this jack to the coaxial or optical digital input of an externaldigital-to-analog converter for direct access to the digital signals of the cd player or theexternal digital audio source. do not connect this jack to the standard audio inputs ofany device.1 Audio Outputs: connect these jacks to the cd audio inputs of your receiver, surroundprocessor or preamplifier. If your amplifier features balanced Xlr inputs, you may usethe Xlr outputs instead. sound quality via balanced connection is usually more dynamic,with even better signal-to-noise ratio. pin configuration for the Xlr outputs: pin 1 isground, pin 2 is plus/hot, pin 3 is minus/cold.2 Remote Control Input: connect the output of a remote infrared sensor or the remotecontrol output of another compatible harman Kardon product. this will enable the remotecontrol system to operate even when the front panel remote sensor is blocked. It will alsoallow use of the cd player with optional, external control systems.3 Remote Control Output: connect this jack to the input of another compatibleharman Kardon remote-controlled device to have the remote sensor on the cd playerprovide signals to other products.4 AC Power Cord: connect this plug to an ac outlet. If the outlet is switch-controlled,make certain that the switch is in the on position.5 Coaxial and Optical Digital Inputs: connect these jacks to the coaxial or opticaldigital output of an external audio source. this will enable you to have the digital-to-analog conversion of that source done by the highgrade audiophile digital-to-analogconvertors in the hd 990 rather than the (older ones) in the external source, for betteraudio quality.6 HRS-Link Output: the special high-resolution synchronization link cable (optional)connects to the hrs jack on the matching hK 990 amplifier (or other compatible hKamplifiers) to attain an even higher quality of sound. you need only connect the hrs-linkcable for complete synchronization and audio. no further cable is necessary. digital output1 audio outputs2 remote control Input3 remote control output4 ac power cord5 coaxial and optical digital Inputs6 hrs-link output� � � � ��
