Making Connections
CAUTION: Before making any connections to the AVR, ensure that the AVR’s AC
cord is unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet. Making connections with
the AVR plugged in and turned on could damage the speakers.
Connect Your Speakers
After you have placed your loudspeakers in the room as explained in Place Your Speakers,
on page 10, connect each speaker to its color-coded terminal on the AVR as explained
in Speaker Connections, on page 11. Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration.

Connect Your TV or Video Display
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 your TV to the AVR’s HDMI Monitor
Out connector. It will provide the best possible picture quality.

If your TV 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 Monitor Out
connector to your TV’s composite video connector.

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray Disc or
DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different types of
input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite video, optical
digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio.
Your AVR’s various Source Selector buttons have default assignments to different input
connectors (listed in the “Default AVR Input Connector” column of the table below).
For ease of setup and remote control programming, you should connect each source
device to the connector where the corresponding default source button is assigned (e.g.,
connect your Cable/Satellite tuner box to HDMI 1).
However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the
video and audio input connectors to any of the Source Selector buttons listed in the table
according to where you actually connect each of your source devices.
As you connect your various source components, fill out the “Connected Device” and
“Assigned AVR Input Connector(s)” columns in the table – it will make it easier for you to
assign the connectors to the Source Selector buttons after you have completed making
all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the connector assignments later
in the setup process.)
