Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity. 1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. 2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly. 3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices. 4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices. 5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices. 6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.) 7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed. CAUTION : Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions. 8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing. Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

Before returning the unit to the user, perform the following safety checks :

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other metal parts in the unit. 2. Be sure that any protective devices such as nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fishpapers, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical insulators, etc. Which were removed for the servicing are properly re-installed. 3. Be sure that no shock hazard exists ; check for leakage current using Simpson Model 229 Leakage Tester, standard equipment item No. 21641, RCA Model WT540A or use alternate method as follows : Plug the power cord directly Into a 120 volt AC receptacle (do not use an Isolation Transformer for this test). Using two clip leads, connect a 1500 ohms, 10watt Resistor paralleled by a 0.15uF capacitor, in series with all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known earth ground, such as a water pipe or conduit. Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohms per volt, or higher sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. (See diagram) Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal, cabinet, screw heads, knobs and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. (This test should be performed with the 0.35 volt RMS or more is excessive and indicates a potential shock hazard which must be corrected before returning the unit to the owner.

REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
¡ AM Antenna: Connect the AM loop antenna supplied with the receiver to these terminals. If an external AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals in accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna. TM FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor or an optional external FM antenna to this terminal. £ Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional, external power amplifier for applications where higher power is desired. ¢ Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the linelevel input of a powered subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input. A-BUS Connector: Connect this jack to an optional A-BUS®-certified remote room product to extend the multiroom capabilities of your AVR 435. See page 17 for more information on A-BUS. § Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and ­ terminals on your surround channel speakers. In conformance with the CEA color-code specification, the blue terminal is the positive (+) terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with older color-coding, while the gray terminal should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround Right speaker with the older color-coding. Connect the black (­) terminal on the AVR to the matching black negative (­) terminals for each surround speaker. (See page 16 for more information on speaker polarity.) ¶ Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + or ­ terminals on your left and right speakers. When making speaker connections, always make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting the color-coded (white for front left and red for front right) (+) terminals on the AVR 435 to the red (+) terminals on the speakers and the black (­) terminals on the AVR 435 to the black (­) terminals on the speakers. See page 16 for more information on speaker polarity. · Fan Vents: These ventilation holes are the output of the AVR 435's airflow system. To ensure proper operation of the unit and to avoid possible damage to delicate surfaces, make certain that these holes are not blocked and that there is at least 3 inches of open space between the vent holes and any wooden or fabric surface. It is normal for the fan to remain off at most normal volume levels. An automatic temperature sensor turns the fan on only when it is needed. ª Center Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and ­ terminals on your center channel speaker. In conformance with the CEA colorcode specification, the green terminal is the positive (+) terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on speakers with the older color-coding. Connect the black (­) terminal on the AVR to the black negative (­) terminal on your speaker. (See page 16 for more information on speaker polarity.) , Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs: These speaker terminals are normally used to power the surround back left/surround back right speakers in a 7.1-channel system. However, they may also be used to power the speakers in a second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multiroom system. To change the output fed to these terminals from the default of the Surround Back speakers to the Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the Advanced Menu of the OSD system. See page 41 for more information on configuring this speaker output. In normal surround system use, the brown and black terminals are the surround back left channel positive (+) and negative (­) connections and the tan and black terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and negative (­) terminals. For multiroom use, connect the brown and black SBL terminals to the red and black connections on the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on the right remote zone speaker. / AC Power Cord Jack: Connect the AC power cord to this jack when the installation is complete. To ensure safe operation, use only the power cord supplied with the unit. If a replacement is required, it must be of the same type and capacity. ¤ Switched AC Accessory Outlet: These outlets may be used to power any device you wish to have turned on when the AVR 435 is turned on with the Standby/On Switch 1. < Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet: This outlet may be used to power any AC device. The power will remain on at this outlet, regardless of whether the AVR 435 is on or off. NOTE: The total power consumption of all devices connected to the accessory outlets should not exceed 100 watts. > Video Monitor Outputs: Connect these jacks to the composite or S-video input of a TV monitor or video projector to view the on-screen menus and the output of any standard video source selected by the receiver's video switcher. fi DVD Video Inputs: Connect the composite or Svideo outputs of a DVD player or other video source to these jacks. fl Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or other video source to these jacks. Video 1 Video Outputs: Connect the composite or S-video REC/IN jacks of a VCR or other video recording device such as a DVD recorder or PVR to these jacks. ° Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or other video source to these jacks. · Video 2 Video Outputs: Connect the composite or S-video REC/IN jacks of a VCR or other video recording device such as a DVD recorder or PVR to these jacks. a Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or other video source to these jacks. b Component Video Monitor Outputs: Connect these outputs to the component video inputs of a video projector or monitor. When a source connected to one of the Component Video Inputs cd is selected, the signal will be sent to these jacks. c DVD Component Video Inputs: These inputs may be used with any source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. The factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the DVD input, but you may change the setting at any time through the INPUT SETUP menu. See page 21 for more information on configuring the component video inputs. d Component Video 1 Inputs: These inputs may be used with any source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. The factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the DVD input, but you may change the setting at any time through the INPUT SETUP menu. See page 21 for more information on configuring the component video inputs. e Component Video 2 Inputs: These inputs may be used with any video source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs. The factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the Video 2 input, but you may change the setting at any time through the INPUT SETUP menu.

In addition, the AVR 435's remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 435 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions on pages 43 ­ 46 to program the proper codes for the products in your system. It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depending on the product selected using the Input Selectors d. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 435. a Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 435 or a selected device in the Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will continue to function. 1 Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by first pressing one of the Input Selectors 3. 2 LCD Information Display: This two-line screen displays various information depending on the commands that have been entered into the remote. 3 Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 435 is not turned on, this will power up the unit. Next, it will select the source shown on the button as the input to the AVR 435. Finally, it will change the remote control so that it controls the device selected. In normal operation, the remote will revert to controlling the AVR when no button is pressed for 6 seconds. This allows the remote to automatically return to control of important functions such as volume, mute and surround mode selection after you have used the remote to control another device. If you wish to change the length of time that the remote operates another device, or to have the remote remain active for control of the other device (such as a DVD player or set-top box) until you manually return control to the AVR by pressing the AVR Selector 4, follow the instructions on page 52. 4 AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 435's functions.
