Installation and Connections
Batteries
Insert the two AA batteries supplied with the
CDR 30’s remote as shown below being careful
to follow the + and – polarity indications in the
bottom of the compartment. Replace the cover
by first seating the two small tabs into the mat-
ing holes at the top of the remote, and then
gently push the cover down until the latch snaps
into place with an audible click.
NOTE: When replacing batteries, replace both at
the same time.When the remote will not be
used for an extended period of time, remove the
batteries to avoid the possibility of damage due
to corrosion. Batteries contain chemical sub-
stances and we recommend that you dispose of
them properly and in compliance with any local
regulations.
IR Remote Connections
If the CDR 30 is installed behind a cabinet or
other obstruction that may block the path
between the front panel Remote Sensor
¯
and the location where you will use 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 con-
nected to the IR Output jack of another compati-
ble Harman Kardon component or a compatible
IR system remote product that is not blocked by
a cabinet.
You may also use the IR Sensor in the CDR 30 to
send commands to other compatible remote
products. Connect the Remote IR Out Jack
⁄
to the input of the other product or system.
Power Connections
Connect the AC Power Cord
¤ to an AC
power source. the CDR 30 uses sensitive, high-
performance computer-grade CD drives, and to
protect them we recommend that you consider
the use of a surge protector, just as you would
for a computer.
If the rear panel AC outlet on a receiver or other
product is used, make certain that it provides at
least 28 watts, and that the total power of all
products connected does not exceed the maxi-
mum rated output of the product containing the
outlets. If the CDR 30 is connected to a switched
outlet, remember to turn on the outlet or prod-
uct controlling it in order for the CDR 30 to
operate.
