HDMI Output: Connect this jack to the HDMI input on a
projector or monitor. HDMI connections should be restricted to
a maximum cable length of about 50 feet.
Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the coaxial digital
output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/P-DIF output of
a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams,
LD player or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be a Dolby
Digital signal, DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source. Do
not connect the RF digital output of an LD player to these jacks.
Coaxial 1 is assigned as the default to Disc 1 and Coaxial 2
is assigned as the default to Disc 2, but both can be reconfigured
as optional inputs to other sources.
Center Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the
matching + and – terminals on your center channel speaker. In
conformance with the CEA color-code specification, the green
terminal is the positive (+) terminal that should be connected to
the red (+) terminal on speakers with the older color-coding.
Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the black nega-
tive (–) terminal on your speaker. See the
Main Room Installation
& Setup/Speaker Connections
section for more information
on speaker polarity.
Back Surround Speaker Outputs (7.1-Channel Only):
Connect these speaker terminals to the surround back
left/surround back right speakers in a 7.1- channel system. In
normal surround system use, the brown and black terminals
are the surround back left channel positive (+) and negative (–)
connections and the tan and black terminals are the surround
back right positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.
Side Surround (7.1-Channel) or Surround (5.1-Channel)
Speaker Outputs:
Connect these outputs to the matching + and –
terminals on your surround channel speakers. In conformance with
the CEA color-code specification, the blue terminal is the positive
(+) terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on
the Surround Left speaker with older color-coding, while the gray
terminal should be connected to the red (+) terminal on the
Surround Right speaker with the older color-coding. Connect the
black (–) terminal on the AVR to the matching black negative (–)
terminals for each surround speaker. See the
Main Room Installation
& Setup/Speaker Connections
section for more information on
speaker polarity.
Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching
+ or – terminals on your left and right speakers. When making
speaker connections, always make certain to maintain correct
polarity by connecting the color-coded (white for front left and red
for front right) (+) terminals on the AVR21EN to the red (+) terminals
on the speakers and the black (–) terminals on the AVR21EN to the
black (–) terminals on the speakers. See the
Main Room Installation
& Setup/Speaker Connections
section for more information on
speaker polarity.
Optical Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the optical digital out-
put from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/P-DIF output of a com-
patible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, LD player
or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be a Dolby Digital sig-
nal, a DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.
Optical 2 is
assigned as the default for Disc 3 but can be reconfigured as an
optional input to another source.
AUX Analog Audio/Video Outputs: Connect the left/right
analog audio and composite or S-video RECORD IN jacks of a video
recording device such as a DVD recorder, personal video recorder
or VCR, to these jacks.
Disc 1 Component Video Inputs: Connect the component
video outputs of a DVD player or any other video source equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs to these jacks. The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Disc 1 Analog
Audio Inputs
and the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio Input , but
you may change the digital audio input setting at any time
through the
MAIN ROOM/SOURCES menu, as described in Main
Room Setup/Source Audio Input.
See the Main Room
Setup/Source Video
section for more information on configuring
the component video inputs.
Disc 2 Component Video Inputs: Connect the component
video outputs of a DVD player or any other video source equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs to these jacks. The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Disc 2 Analog
Audio Inputs
and the Coaxial 2 Digital Audio Inputs , but
you may change the digital audio input setting at any time
through the
MAIN ROOM/SOURCES menu, as described in Main
Room Setup/Source Audio Input.
See the Main Room Setup/
Source Video
section for more information on configuring the
component video inputs.
8-Channel DVD Audio Inputs: These jacks are used for connec-
tion to source devices such as DVD-Audio or SACD
™
players with
discrete analog outputs. Depending on the source device in use,
all eight jacks may be used, though in many cases only connections
to the front left/right, center, surround left/right and LFE (subwoofer
input) jacks will be used for standard 5.1 audio signals.
Disc 3 Component Video Inputs: Connect the component
video outputs of a DVD player or any other video source equipped
with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs to these jacks. The
factory default is for these jacks to be linked to the
Disc 3 Analog
Audio Inputs
and the Optical 2 Digital Audio Inputs , but
you may change the digital audio input setting at any time
through the
MAIN ROOM/SOURCES menu, as described in Main
Room Setup/Source Audio Input.
See the Main Room Setup/
Source Video
section for more information on configuring the
component video inputs.
Cable/Sat Component Video Inputs: These inputs may be
used with any video source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb
component video outputs. These jacks are permanently linked to
the Cable/Satellite source input.
AUX Component Video Inputs: These inputs may be used with
any video source device equipped with analog Y/Pr/Pb component
video outputs. These jacks are permanently linked to the AUX
source input.
Monitor Component Video Outputs: Connect these outputs to
the component video inputs on the Main Room video projector or
monitor.
Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional, external
power amplifier for applications where higher power is desired.
Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the line-level input of
a powered subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used,
connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input.
