HDMI Monitor Out connector: If your tV has an hdMI connector and you have hdMI or
component video source devices, use an hdMI cable (not included) to connect it to the
AVr’s hdMI Monitor out connector.
Notes on using the HDMI Monitor Out connector:
when connecting a dVI-equipped display to the hdMI Monitor out connector, use
•
an hdMI-to-dVI adapter and make a separate audio connection.
Make sure the hdMI-equipped display is hdcp-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect

•
it via hdMI; use an analogue video connection instead and make a separate audio
connection.
HDMI Input connectors: the hdMI (high-definition Multimedia Interface
®
) feature is
a connection for transmitting digital audio and video signals between devices. If your
source devices have hdMI connectors, using them will provide the best possible video
and audio performance quality. Since the hdMI cable carries both digital video and
digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for
devices you connect via hdMI connections. See
connect Your Source devices, on page
13, for more information.
Composite Video Monitor Out connector: If your tV or video display does not have
Composite Video Monitor Out connector: If your tV or video display does not have
an hdMI connector, or if your tV does have an hdMI connector
but you are connecting
some source devices with only composite video connectors, use a composite video
cable (not included) to connect the AVr’s composite Video Monitor out connector to your
tV’s composite video input connector.
DVD Component Video Input connector: If your blu-ray disc
DVD Component Video Input connector: If your blu-ray disc
™
or dVd player does
not have an hdMI connector but does have a component video connector, using the
component video connector will provide superior video performance. You will also need
to make an audio connection from the player to the AVr.
Digital Audio Input connectors: If your non-hdMI source devices have digital outputs,
Digital Audio Input connectors: If your non-hdMI source devices have digital outputs,
connect them to the AVr’s digital audio connectors.
NOTE: Make only one type of
digital connection (hdMI, optical or coaxial) from each device. See
connect Your Source
devices, on page 13, for more information.
Video 2 Out connector: connect an analogue video recorder’s video input connector to
the AVr’s Video 2 out connector. You can record any composite video input signal.
NOTE:
to record the audio and video from the source device, connect the AVr’s Video 2 out
Analogue output connectors to the analogue video recorder’s audio inputs.
Composite Video Input connectors: use composite video connectors for video source
Composite Video Input connectors: use composite video connectors for video source
devices that don’t have hdMI or component video connectors. You will also need to
make an audio connection from the source device to the AVr. See
connect Your Source
devices, on page 13, for more information.
Subwoofer connector: connect this jack to a powered subwoofer with a line-level
Subwoofer connector: connect this jack to a powered subwoofer with a line-level
input. See
connect Your Subwoofer, on page 13, for more information.
Analogue Audio Input/Output connectors: use the AVr’s Analogue Audio Input/output
connectors for source devices that don’t have hdMI or digital audio connectors. use the
Video 2 out and tape out connectors to connect to the audio inputs of a Vcr and tape
deck. See
connect Your Source devices, on page 13, for more information.
Speaker connectors: use two-conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals
to the correct speaker. See
connect Your Speakers, on page 13, for more information.
Main Power switch: this mechanical switch turns the AVr’s power supply on or off. It is
usually left on and cannot be turned on or off using the remote control.

In addition to controlling the AVr, the AVr remote is capable of controlling eight other
devices. during the installation process, you may program the codes for each of your
source components into the remote. (See
program the remote to control Your Source
devices and tV, on page 16, for programming information.) to operate a component,
press its Source Selector button to change the remote’s control mode.
A button’s function depends on which component is being controlled. See table A10 in
A button’s function depends on which component is being controlled. See table A10 in
the Appendix for listings of the functions for each type of component. Most of the buttons
on the remote have dedicated functions, although the precise codes transmitted vary
depending on the specific device being controlled. due to the wide variety of functions
for various source devices, we have included only a few of the most often-used functions
on the remote: alphanumeric keys, transport controls, television-channel control, menu
access and power on and off. to return the remote to the AVr control mode at any time,
press the AVr button.
