Introduction, Speaker Placement and Connection
Introduction
Thank you f or choosing a har man kardon® prod uct!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your new harman kardon
audio/video receiver.
To conserve our natural resources, your receiver does not include a printed owner's manual. An owner's
manual containing complete information about operating all of your new receiver’s features is available
at our Web site. Go t o www.harmankar don.com and downloa d the AVR 3650, AVR 365, AVR 2650, AVR 265
Owner’s Manual.
Place the Receiver
Place the rec eiver on a firm and level sur face. Be cert ain that the surf ace and any mounting har dware t
can suppo rt the receiver ’s weight.
Provide pr oper space above and be low the receiver for ve ntilation. If you ins tall the receiver in a t
cabinet o r other enclosed a rea, provide coolin g air within the cab inet. Under some ci rcumstances, a
fan may be re quired.
Do not obst ruct the ventila tion slots on the top o f the receiver or place ob jects direc tly over them.t
Do not place t he receiver direc tly on a carpete d surface.t
Do not place t he receiver in moist o r humid locations , in extremely ho t or cold locations , in areas near t
heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
Connections
CAUTION: Before makin g any connections t o the audio/video re ceiver, ensure that the re ceiver’s
AC cord is unplugged from the rec eiver and the AC outle t. Making connec tions with the re ceiver
plugged in and tur ned on could damage the speakers
Place Your Speakers
Determi ne the locations f or your system’s speake rs according to thei r manufactur er’s direction s and
the layout of your listening room. Use the illustrations below as a guide for 7.1-channel and 5.1-channel
systems.

How to use the AVR spe aker terminals:
1. Unscrew C ap 2. Inser t Bare Wire
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker (usually red),
and the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the (–) terminal on the speaker (usually black).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires d o not touch each othe r or the other termina l.
Touching wire s can cause a shor t circuit that ca n damage your receiver o r amplifier.
Connect t he speakers as shown i n the illustration .
3. Tighten C ap
Connect Your Subwoofer
Use a single RC A audio cable to conne ct the receiver ’s Subwoofer Pre-O ut connector to yo ur subwoofer.

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices
Connections
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD player; a
cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your receiver has several different types of input connectors for your
audio and vi deo source device s: HDMI, component vide o, composite video, op tical digital aud io, coaxial
digital audio and analog audio. The connectors are not labeled for specific types of source devices;
they are lab eled numericall y, so you can con nect your device s according to your in dividual syste m’s
make-up.
Your receiver ’s various source but tons have default as signments to diff erent input connec tors (listed
in the “Def ault Source But ton” column of the tab le below). For ease of setu p, you should connec t
each sour ce device to the connec tor where the cor responding def ault source but ton is assigned (e.g.,
connect your Blu-ray Disc player to HDMI 1).

However, you can conn ect your source de vices as you wish and rea ssign any of the source b uttons to any
of the inpu t connectors li sted in the table acc ording to where you ac tually connec t each of your source
devices.
As you conne ct your various s ource component s, fill out the “Connect ed Component” co lumn in the
table – it wi ll make it easier for you to a ssign the various s ource buttons af ter you have complete d
making all o f the connectio ns. (You will make any change s to the source-bu tton assignmen ts and fill in
the “Assigne d Source Button” c olumn later in the set up process.)

HDMI Devices
If any of your so urce devices have HDMI con nectors, usin g them will provide t he best possible v ideo and
audio per formance quali ty. Since the HDMI cable c arries both dig ital video and digi tal audio signals,
you do not have to ma ke any additional audi o connections f or source devices you c onnect via HDMI
connectors.
Note: If you have a T V or other source dev ice equipped with t he HDMI Audio Return Ch annel Function,
you can fee d its sound to the AVR via t he HDMI Monitor Out co nnection’s Audio Ret urn Channel, and it
will not req uire additional a udio connectio ns to the AVR. Refer to the co mplete AVR 3650, AVR 365, AVR
