CP35 QUICK-START GUIDE
Thank you for purchasing a Harman Kardon CP 35 Home Theater System. This
Quick-Start Guide will help you with a basic system installation. For detailed
information on any step in this Guide, please refer to the pages referenced in
the Owner’s Manual for the AVR 335, which is part of this system. We strongly
recommend that you read all four Owner’s Manuals for complete details on
how to install, configure and operate the AVR 335, DVD 31, HKTS 14 and
HKS 4, as well as for the important safety information they contain. You should
also read the Owner’s Manual for the included RCP 2 system remote.

at your normal listening position. If desired, the mike may be
attached to a standard camera tripod using the threads on the
bottom of the mike. Follow the instructions on pages 20–21 of
the Owner’s Manual, which contains the steps needed to activate
the system. As EzSet+ senses the output of each speaker, you will
hear loud test signals. This is a normal part of the EzSet+ process.
When the on-screen menu indicates that setup is complete, your
system is adjusted for output levels, delay times and speaker set-
tings. Unplug the microphone and store it for future use.
Step 10. If you are using a component video connection to a digital television,
set the DVD 31’s output to Progressive Scan, as shown on page 17
of the DVD 31 manual.
Step 7. Connect the AVR to your TV or video display. You must make a
composite, “S” or component video connection corresponding
corresponding to each video source device used in your system.
Remember to switch the TV to the correct input for each source.
NOTE: The AVR’s on-screen menus are not available when viewing
a component video connection. For that reason, a composite or
S-video connection is recommended, though not required, when
component video is used.
DIGITAL AUDIO connections: Use the enclosed coaxial interconnect
(orange connectors) to connect the Coaxial Digital Output on the
DVD to the Coaxial Digital 1 Input on the AVR.
VIDEO connections: Depending on the input available on your TV,
use either composite video (dotted yellow), S-video (dotted black)
or component video (dotted red/blue/green) connections. Only one
connection type is needed.
POWER: Plug the DVD’s AC power cord into the SWITCHED output
on the back of the AVR. Press the Main Power Switch on the DVD so
that it is ON (see page 17).
Basic Configuration
Step 8. Select digital inputs: Use the On-Screen Input Setup menu or the
front-panel Digital Select button and the arrow buttons to select an
optical or coaxial digital input, for any digital source of the DVD
(see page 18).
Step 11. Your system is configured – sit back and enjoy!
Step 6. Connect other source devices such as a VCR, Cable or Satellite set-
top box, HDTV receiver or audio recorder using the connections
shown in the Device Connection Options chart and Figure 6 on the

Dotted lines (••••) indicate component, composite or S-vdeo connections. Component video is the preferred connection
when available, but you may use any of the three types (but not more than one). When component, composite and
S-video sources are connected to the AVR, you must also connect all outputs from the AVR to your TV.
Device Connection Options: Recommended connections are shown in red, but connections may be made to best fit your system requirements. The Video 4, Coax 3 and Optical 3 inputs are on the front panel of the receiver.
