Digital
Audio
Connections
-
Coaxial
Coaxial
digital
audio
jacks
are
usually
color-coded
in
orange.
Although
they
look
like
standard
RCA-type
analog
jacks,
you
should
not
connect
coaxial
digital
audio
outputs
to
analog
inputs
or
vice
versa.
Digital
Audio
Connections-
Optical
Optical
digital
audio
connectors
are
normally
covered
by
a
shutter
to
protect
them
from
dust.
The
shutter
opens
as
the
cable
is
inserted.
Optical
input
connectors
are
color-coded
using
a
black
shutter.
Analog
Audio
Connections
Two-channel
analog
connections
require
a
stereo
audio
cable
,
with
one
connector
for
the
left
channel
(white)
and
one
for
the
right
channel
(red).
These
two
connectors
are
attached
to
each
other.
For
source
devices
that
have
both
digital
and
analog
audio
outputs,
you
may
make
both
connections
.
If
you
are
going
to
be
setting
up
a
multizone
system
(AVR
171
OS/AVR
171
S
only),
remember
that
Zone
2
is
an
audio-only
zone
(the
AVR
does
not
have
a
Zone
2
video
output).
Therefore
,
make
analog
connections
for
any
audio
source
devices
(such
as
a
CD
changer)
that
you
will
want
available
for
listening
in
Zone
2
at
all
times.
Types
of
Home
Theater
System
Connections
Video
Connections
Many
source
devices
output
both
audio
and
video
signals
(e
.
g.,
Blu-ray
Disc,
DVD
player,
cable
television
box,
HDTV
tuner,
satellite
box,
VCR,
DVR).
In
addition
to
an
audio
connection
as
described
above,
make
a
video
connection
for
each
of
these
source
devices.
Make
only
one
type
of
video
connection
for
each
device.
Digital
Video
Connections
If
you
have
already
connected
a
source
device
to
one
of
the
AVR
's
HDMI
input
connectors,
you
have
automatically
made
a
video
connection
for
that
device
,
since
the
HDMI
cable
carries
both
digital
audio
and
digital
video
signals.
Analog
Video
Connections
-
Composite
Video
Composite
video
is
the
most
commonly
available
analog
video
connection.
Both
the
chrominance
(color)
and
luminance
(intensity)
components
of
the
video
signal
are
transmitted
using
a
single
cable.
The
jack
is
usually
color-coded
yellow
and
looks
like
an
analog
audio
jack.
Do
not
connect
a
composite
video
jack
to
an
analog
audio
or
coaxial
digital
audio
jack,
or
vice
versa
.
Radio
Connections
Your
AVR
uses
separate
terminals
for
the
included
FM
and
AM
antennas.
The
FM
antenna
uses
a
75-ohm
F-connector
.
The
AM
antenna
connector
uses
spring-clip
terminals.
After
assembling
the
antenna
as
shown
below,
press
the
levers
to
open
the
connectors
,
insert
the
bare
wires
into
the
openings
,
and
release
the
levers
to
secure
the
wires.
The
antenna
wires
are
not
polarized,
so
you
can
insert
either
wire
into
either
connector.
