Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Harman Kardon product!
This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your
new Harman Kardon audio/video receiver (AVR).
To conserve our natural resources, your AVR does not include a printed owner’s manual.
An owner’s manual containing complete information about operating all of your new
AVR’s features is available at our Web site. Go to www.harmankardon.com and download
the AVR 3700, AVR 370, AVR 370C, AVR 2700, AVR 270, AVR 270C Owner’s Manual.
Place the AVR
• Place the AVR on a rm and level surface. Be certain that the surface and any mounting
hardware can support the AVR’s weight.
• Provide proper space above, below, behind and to the sides of the AVR for ventilation. Maintain
a clearance of at least 12" (30cm) on each side of, above and behind the unit.
• If you install the AVR in a cabinet or other enclosed area, provide cooling air within the cabinet.
Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the AVR or place objects directly over them.
• Do not place the AVR directly on a carpeted surface.
• Do not place the AVR in moist or humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, in areas
near heaters or heat registers, or in direct sunlight.
Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the AVR, ensure that the AVR’s AC cord is
unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet. Making connections with the AVR plugged
in and turned on could damage the speakers.
