6-/8-Channel Inputs: Connect the multichannel analog audio outputs 
of a non-HDMI player (DVD-Audio, SACD™, Blu-ray Disc™ or HD-DVD, or any 
other external decoder) to these jacks.
Coaxial 1/2/3 and Optical 1/2/3 Digital Audio Inputs: If a source 
has a compatible digital audio output, and if you are not using an HDMI 
connection for audio for the device, connect it to one of these jacks to hear 
digital audio formats, such as Dolby Digital, DTS and linear PCM. Use only one 
type of digital audio connection for each source.
Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs: If a source is also an 
audio recorder, connect one of the Digital Audio Outputs to the recorder’s 
matching input for improved recording quality. Only PCM digital audio signals 
are available for recording. Both coaxial and optical digital audio signals are 
available at either Digital Audio Output.
Network Jack: Plug in an RJ-45-compatible cable that connects to a 
personal computer (PC), router or Internet access. When connected to a PC, 
the AVR 760/AVR 660 is capable of playing audio and JPEG files stored on the 
PC. When connected to the Internet, the AVR 760/AVR 660 may be used to 
enjoy Internet Radio. See pages 33 and 34 for more information.
RS-232 Serial Port: This bi-directional port may be used to control 
the AVR 760/AVR 660 using an RS-232 serial control link to a compatible 
computer or programmable remote control system. Due to the complexity of 
programming RS-232 commands, connections and programming for control 
purposes should be performed by a qualified custom installer.
Trigger 1 and 2 Outputs: Connect these control jacks to the trigger 
input jack of an external component, such as an audio power amplifier, that 
you want to power on any time the AVR 760/AVR 660 is turned on, without 
using the AVR’s Switched Accessory Outlet for power. When this connection 
is used, the AVR 760/AVR 660 will automatically send a low-voltage signal to 
the connected device that triggers it to turn on when the AVR 760/AVR 660 
is on, and off when the AVR 760/AVR 660 is placed in the Standby Mode. The 
connected component must respond to 6-volt presence as the control signal.
The Trigger 2 Output may be programmed to transmit its signal only when 
certain of the AVR’s source inputs are selected. For example, to lower a screen 
when watching a DVD movie, but not while listening to the tuner, connect 
the Trigger 2 Output to the screen and program it to be on when the DVD 
source is selected, but off when the AM or FM bands are in use. See the Initial 
Setup section for more information on programming this setting in the Info 
Settings menus for each source.
Zone 2 Infrared (IR) Input: Connect a remote IR receiver located in the 
remote zone of a multizone system to this jack to control the AVR (and any 
source devices connected to the Remote IR Output) from the remote zone.
Remote Infrared (IR) Input and Output: When the remote IR 
receiver on the front panel is blocked, connect an optional IR receiver to the 
Remote IR Input jack. The Remote IR Output may be connected to the Remote 
IR Input of a compatible product to enable remote control through the AVR. 
Remote IR Carrier Output: This output is similar in function to the 
Remote IR Output, with the difference that this jack outputs the full infrared 
signal as received by the AVR’s IR sensor or the Remote IR Input, while 
the Remote IR Output jack outputs a “stripped” signal that has no carrier 
frequency.

REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
HDMI Inputs and Output: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 
is a connection for transmitting digital audio and video signals between 
devices. Connect up to four HDMI-equipped source devices to the HDMI inputs 
using a single-cable connection.
When you connect the HDMI Output to your video display, the AVR 760/
AVR 660 will automatically transcode analog video signals to the HDMI 
format, upscaling to as high as 1080p. 
NOTES: When connecting a DVI-equipped display to one of the HDMI 
Outputs:
Use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.
 
Make sure the display is HDCP-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect it to 
 
an HDMI Output; use an analog video connection instead.
Always make a separate audio connection.
 
Analog 1 – 5 Inputs: Connect the left and right analog audio outputs of 
a source device to any of these inputs. These inputs may be paired with any 
video inputs.
NOTES
The Analog 3 and 4 inputs are each associated with a set of outputs. 
Consider using these connectors for an audio or video recorder. 
You may optionally connect a source to both an analog and digital audio 
input. This is useful for making recordings, for multizone applications or 
simply as a backup.
Analog 3 and 4 Outputs: Connect either of these analog audio outputs 
to the analog audio inputs of a recording device. A signal is available at these 
outputs whenever an analog audio source is playing. 
Zone 2 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier to 
power the speakers in the remote zone of a multizone system. 
Subwoofer 1 and 2 Outputs: If you have a powered subwoofer with 
a line-level input, connect it to the Subwoofer 1 Output. For improved 
performance, connect a second powered subwoofer to the Subwoofer 2 
Output (Subwoofer 2 on AVR 760 only).
The Bridge II Input: Connect the included Harman Kardon 
 
docking station to this input for use with most docking iPod models, 4G and 
later (not included). Turn the receiver off (Standby mode) when connecting 
The Bridge II. 
Fan Vents: This area contains vents used by the AVR 760/AVR 660’s fan 
to cool the system. Maintain a clearance of at least 8 cm from the nearest 
surface to avoid overheating the unit. It is normal for the fan to remain off at 
most normal volume levels. An automatic temperature sensor turns the fan 
on only when it is needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never block the fan vents, as doing so could allow 
the AVR to overheat to dangerous levels.
Zone 2 Video Output: Connect this composite video jack to a video 
display located in the remote zone of a multizone system. When the 
multizone system is in use, viewers in the remote zone will be able to see the 
AVR’s on-screen text menus and any available source video, as long as the 
source is connected to a Composite Video Input, and that input is specified for 
that source in the Zone 2 Video setting of the Info Settings menu (AVR 760 
only).
Composite and S-Video 1, 2 and 3 Video Inputs: Use these jacks 
to connect your video-capable source components (e.g., VCR, DVD player, 
cable TV box) to the receiver. Use only one type of video connection for each 
source. 
Composite and S-Video 2 Outputs: Connect one of these analog 
video outputs to the composite or S-video inputs of a recording device. 
A signal is available at these outputs whenever an analog video source is 
playing. 
Composite and S-Video Monitor Outputs: If any of your sources 
use composite or S-video connections, connect one or both of these monitor 
outputs to the corresponding inputs on your video display. If your video 
display is equipped with HDMI or component video inputs, these connections 
are unnecessary, as the AVR 760/AVR 660 will convert the composite or 
S-video source signal to the correct format for a single video-cable connection 
to the TV. 
Component Video 1, 2 and 3 Inputs: If a video source has analog 
component video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability, and if you are not using an HDMI 
connection, connect the component video outputs of the source to one of the 
sets of component video inputs. Do not make any other video connections to 
that source.
Component Video Monitor Outputs: If you are using one of the 
Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is component-
video-capable (but does not have HDMI), connect these jacks to the video 
display. 
NOTES
Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at the 
 
Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected sources.
Composite and S-video signals are upscaled to as high as 1080i and 
 
available at these outputs. If your video display’s best connection is 
component video, it is the only video connection required from the AVR 
to the display.
AM and FM Antenna Terminals: Connect the included AM and FM 
antennas to their respective terminals for radio reception.
Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier if more 
power is desired. The Surround Back/Zone 2 Preamp Outputs may be used 
with an external amplifier to power the remote zone of a multizone system. 
A-BUS Port: Use a Category 5/5e cable to connect this port to optional 
A-BUS equipment for multizone operation. When the A-BUS system is used, it 
is possible to have a full 7.2-channel system in the main listening room at the 
same time the multizone system is in use. 
Front, Center and Surround Speaker Outputs: Use two-
conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals to the correct 
speaker. Remember to observe the correct polarity (positive and negative 
connections).
Surround Back/Zone 2 Speaker Outputs: These speaker outputs 
are used for the surround back channels in a 7.2-channel home theater, or 
may be reassigned to a remote room for multizone operation. 
Switched AC Accessory Outlet: You may plug the AC power cord of 
one source device into this outlet, and it will turn on whenever you turn on 
the receiver. Do not use a source that consumes more than 50 watts of power.
AC Power Input: After you have made all other connections, plug the AC 
power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
A-BUS Power Input: When using optional A-BUS equipment, connect an 
optional A-BUS power supply to this port.
