Installation and Connections
To prevent possible damage to your speakers and other components in your audio system, it is important that ALL components, including the FL 8370 and your receiver or preamp and amplifiers, are turned off and unplugged from their AC power source when installing any new component. Connecting the FL 8370 to your audio system is simple. Using standard RCA-to-RCA interconnect cords, connect the left and right Audio Output jacks � on the rear panel to the CD input jacks on your receiver, surround processor or preamplifier. If your system includes an optional external digital-to-analog converter, or if you are using a receiver or other processor that has the capability to decode PCM digital input signals, connect the Coaxial-Digital Output jack � to the Coaxial-Digital input on the decoder. Make certain to use a coaxial-style interconnect cable, as standard audio cables will not perform as well. Install the two AA batteries supplied with the FL 8370�s remote by turning the remote over so that you are holding the bottom side up. Press lightly on the embossed arrow on the cover and gently slide the cover towards you in the direction of the arrow. Insert the batteries inside the compartment, being careful to follow the + and � polarity indications at the bottom of the compartment. Replace the cover by placing it on the remote and sliding it back towards the top of the remote. NOTE: When replacing batteries it is always a good idea to replace both at the same time. When the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, it is also a good idea to remove the batteries so that the potential for corrosion or damage is avoided. If the FL 8370 is installed behind a cabinet or other obstruction that may block the path between the front-panel Remote Sensor and the location of the remote, an optional external IR sensor may be used. Connect the sensor to the remote IR-In Jack ¢ on the rear panel. This jack may also be connected to the IR-Output jack of another compatible Harman Kardon component or a compartible IR-systemremote product.
