Important notes about Component/RGb video inputs and outputs

<When you connect your devices to these connectors, take care to follow the letter/colour coding for each input. No damage will occur but incorrectly coloured or unstable pictures will result.

<The Component video inputs have sufficient bandwidth for NTSC (525/60) or PAL (625/50) video and HDTV video signals.

Before connecting your AVR360 to your source components and speakers, please read through the next few pages which will explain all the input and output connectivity that is available. The ‘Speakers’ section explains how to connect up your speakers to avoid damage to the amplifier and how to arrange your speakers for best performance.

General

The inputs are named to make it easier to reference connected devices (e.g. ‘BD’ or ‘VCR’). They all have the same input circuit, so there is no reason why you should not connect a different device to any of the inputs. For example, if you had two BD players and the AV input was not being used, then the second BD player could be connected to the AV input.

When connecting a video source, its audio must be connected to the corresponding sockets. For example, if you a had a satellite decoder plugged into a SAT video input, the audio must be connected to the SAT audio inputs!

The hierarchy for video connections for best quality is as follows:

<HDMI

<Component/RgB

<S-Video

<Composite.

For any video source to be available in Zone 2 you must have a Composite connection between AVR360 and the source.

Making connections

<Wherever possible, connect both the analogue and digital outputs of digital sources. This enables use of a digital input for the main zone and the corresponding analogue input for the Zone 2 output.

<Take care to place cables as far from any power supply cabling as is practicable, to reduce hum and other noise problems.

note:

For each input, you must set the “Video Source” and “Audio Source” settings according to the connection type.

(see “Input Config.” on page E-35)

HDMI connectors

AV, SAT, BD, VCR, PVR

Connect the HDMI video outputs of your source equipment to these corresponding HDMI inputs.

OUTPUT

Connect this output to the HDMI video input of your display device. This output is compatible with the HDMI 1.4 Audio Return Channel (ARC). If you have a supported television then sound from the television’s internal tuner (e.g. Freeview, Freesat, DVB-T) will be available using the AVR360’s “Display” input.
