Sorry. They are not compatible. The headphone jack is an output but you need an input for a guitar or bass. You will certainly damage the HK if you continue. There are no compatable inputs on the HK. The inputs are meant to be used with a 300mv output device, such as a CD or DVD.

SOURCE: harmon kardon avr 25 II

hey i also had this problem, i don't know the name of these but they are basically plugs that you have to block output from the front rear and center speakers of the white/red cables... sry for bad description but its on the left side when looking at the back of the receiver, while all of the other speaker wires should be hooked up to the right with the twisting knobs... it took me forever to find this out but yeah it was a simple fix

SOURCE: harmon kardon avr 25 ii

I upgraded my HK AVR 20II and ran into the same problem when I tried to hook the old unit up out in my garage.

Luckily I remember that on the rear there is a pre-out RCA port (L/R) and a Main-In port that are intended to be to/from an equalizer/amplifier. These come jumpered out of the box, but I had been using an equalizer so the jumpers were long lost.

Assuming you also have no amp/eq you are using, just connect the Pre-Out to the Main-In using a standard M/M RCA cable and you will be in business. (turn the volume down first!)

Good luck.

The only way is to get yourself a separate karaoke mixer that you can connect to your receiver, or get yourself a small two channel disco mixer

Harmon Kardon AVR7200. How do I access the OSD without a remote?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Harmon Kardon AVR category.

They all need remotes. You just buy a replacement.

How do I connect IPOD (Generation 5) to my AVR 135?

RCA cable should only be sending sound through the headphone jack to the amp not files. This would then be selectable through an AV or external source rather than USB or iPod option

Try using the RCA outputs once and see if that works..One other thing don't use the phono input on the receiver as it could damage the amplifier

When i turn on my harmon kardon avr 165 it shows ''Protect'' and then it turns off again?? what can i do :)

I would try disconnecting the speakers, then turn it on. If protect still shows with no speakers connected, then it needs to go to the repair shop- Might be a blown power transistor.

Hook sound surrond

You probably have to select the optical input from the menu for sources of your component connection. Most receivers allow you to select optical, coax, or plain PCM right/left audio.

Just bought a Sharp LED TV and there is a slight delay between hearing sound and seeing lips move. Have cable box hooked up to tv by HDMI and have cable box hooked to AVR (Harmon Kardon AVR125) by optical...

Hi if there is an optical out on the television i would use that direct to your Harmon Kardon AVR 125, the sound would be in sync with picture, as the source is the same.

Harmon kardon 745 displays "unlock" no sound for tv or movies

I also had this UNLOCK message on my Harman Cardon AVR 130.
The reason for this error was - in a hurry I've plugged the optical input into optical OUT! Double check that your connections in the back are correct and hopefully it fixes your problem.

Cheers,
