[. . . ] 9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. [. . . ] Connect the analog output of a CD player to the CD inputs 6. NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and variable audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so high that the signal is distorted. Connect the Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, CDR, MD or other audio recorder to the Tape Monitor Play jacks 8. Connect the Record/In jacks on the recorder to the Tape Monitor Rec. When the tape deck connected to these jacks is a three-head unit or has off-head playback, it will be possible to monitor the output of the source being recorded. Connect the audio and/or video outputs of a second audio recorder, VCR or other line-level audio device to the Video 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks 7. If a recorder is used, connect its Rec/In jacks to the matching outputs A. The audio output of any electronics product with a line-level output, such as a TV set, satellite receiver or DVD, may be connected to the Video 2 and Video 3 Audio/Video inputs BD. NOTE: In order to view the video signals of any devices connected to the Video 1 7, Video 2 B or Video 3 D Video Inputs, you will need to connect the Video Monitor Output K jack to the composite video input of your TV or other video display device. Connect the outputs of a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge to the Phono inputs 5. To insure that the phono playback is noisefree, connect the ground wire from the tone-arm to the Phono Ground terminal 2. The "plus" or "red" wire should be connected from the red plus-terminal on the receiver to the "red" plus-terminal on the right speaker and the white plus-terminal on the receiver to the "red" plus-terminal on the left speaker. We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the Speaker 1 left and right or Speaker 2 left and right speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance from the HK 3490/HK490I. NOTE: To assure proper phase, and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on your speaker, or the speaker's manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, assure that both speakers are connected with the same polarity, i. e. speaker wires or terminals with any marking should be connected to the red terminals on the speakers speaker terminals on the HK 3490/HK490I, the others to the black ones (see connections below). Connect the speakers using the following steps: 1. Connect the main speakers to the Speaker 1 terminals G. Connect a second set of speakers, or speakers that are in a second room location, to the Speaker 2 terminals H. When an optional, powered subwoofer (not the active Sub of a Sub/Sat-System) is used, connect the outputs of the mono Subwoofer Out jacks F to the line-level input of the subwoofer. If the subwoofer has no single line input, and if you cannot obtain sufficient woofer level using only one of the two inputs, use an optional Ysplitter to separate the sub mono signal from the receiver into two channels for the two inputs on the subwoofer. [. . . ] CD player) represents its own page of remote functions. The result is that some of the keys will perform different functions depending upon which device page has been selected prior to pressing the key. Device pages are selected by pressing the Source Selectors ç, which also changes the input source selection on the HK 3490/HK490I. Source Selectors ç need not to be pressed with each function, but only when you intend to skip to another device to be controled. [. . . ]
