User manual HARMAN KARDON STRATOPHONIC-SC3- OWNERS GUIDE

[. . . ] If you do not have experience installing in-wall electrical and telecommunications components, you are advised to consult with a qualified low-voltage contractor or custom installer. If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer. They are your best source of product information. The STRATOPHONIC-SC3- will add to your listening pleasure by distributing sound throughout your home with the level of performance for which Harman Kardon has been famous for more than fifty years. [. . . ] If you have any questions or doubt about the ability of the wall surface to properly support the weight of the STRATOPHONIC-SC3-, consult a properly trained installer before proceeding. · When the anchor is installed, place a screw through the slot on either side of the STRATOPHONIC-SC3-, and tighten the screw most of the way into the anchor. · Slip the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- so that it slides down the keyhole notch of the slot, and tighten it securely. Single-Source Hubs In open-plan areas or adjoining rooms, single-source expansion may be required so that a common music source is heard in the area. Connect an RJ-45 jumper cable from one of the STRATOPHONIC-SC3-'s A-BUS Outputs to the Expansion Input of an ABH 4 single-source hub. If connected to a Bank B Output, no power supply is required for Bank B. Complete the system installation by following Steps Two and Three. NOTE: Do not connect an ABH 4 hub to the STRATOPHONIC-SC3-'s Control Link Output, and do not connect an STRATOPHONIC-SC3- hub to an ABH 4's Expansion Output. Connections to an A-BUS-Equipped Product (see Figure 1) Step One: Connect the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- to the Receiver Connect one end of the included RJ-45 jumper cable to the A-BUS Input and the other end to the A-BUS jack on the rear panel of your Harman Kardon receiver. Step Two: Connect the A-BUS Modules Connect the RJ-45 jacks on the Cat. 5 cabling that runs to the remote room modules to the A-BUS Outputs. Make certain that the connector is wired in accordance with the standard TIA 568A color-coding. Connect the A-BUS modules in the remote rooms to the Cat. In most cases, it will light when a Harman Kardon A-BUS-equipped product connected to the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- is turned on, or when a command is received from any of the four zones. When the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- is used with non-A-BUS products, the Status Indicator will light when any of the four sources is selected. When the Status Indicator is lit, a 12V signal is available at the Trigger Output. Trigger Output: The Trigger Output may be used to turn on compatible devices when the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- is activated, as indicated by the Status Indicator. Routed IR Outputs: When the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- is used with non-A-BUS sources, these jacks may be used to route IR signals to devices with compatible remote IR inputs, or to optional remote IR emitters. The emitters should be placed over the IR receiver in the source components to be controlled. This enables a remote to control source components, from the room where an A-BUS module is installed, when the module includes an IR receiver. NOTE: The Routed IR Outputs will only emit commands from the zone that has selected the source, allowing connection of more than one source device of the same type to the STRATOPHONIC-SC3- without concern that commands issued from one zone will have undesired effects on playback in another zone. However, if the source devices are physically near each other, you may wish to use light-blocking caps with the emitters to prevent cross-communication. Common IR Output: This output passes control commands from all zones to compatible non-A-BUS devices, allowing control of common components. It may Up to four STRATOPHONIC-SC3- hubs may be connected to create 16 independent zones with two room outputs per zone. [. . . ] DVD Turns on DVD player and If DVD was turned on (LED begins play. on AUX button is lit), issues DVD Play command. Power Off Mutes or unmutes the AB 2; If Source 1 is playing, turns only that AB 2 is affected. If another source is playing, AVR remains on and STRATOPHONIC-SC3- is turned off. [. . . ]
