REAR-PANEL Connections

Analog 2 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 (AVR 460 only): Connect these jacks to an external amplifier to power the speakers in the remote zone of a multizone system.

Subwoofer Output: If you have a powered subwoofer with a line-level input, connect it to the Subwoofer Output.

The Bridge III Input: Connect the 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 III.

Fan Vents: This area contains vents used by the AVR 460/AVR 360’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.

Composite 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 Video 2 Output: Connect this analog video output to the composite inputs of a recording device. A signal is available at this output whenever an analog video source is playing.

Composite Monitor Output: If any of your sources use composite connections, connect this monitor output to the corresponding input on your video display. If your video display is equipped with HDMI or component video inputs, this connection is unnecessary, as the AVR 460/AVR 360 will convert the composite video source signal to the correct format for a single video-cable connection to the TV.

Component Video 1/2 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 signals is 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 (AVR 460 only): 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 (AVR 460 only): 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 7.1-channel system in the main listening room at the same time the multizone system is in use.

A-BUS IR Output (AVR 460 only): This is an additional IR output that may only be controlled through the A-BUS system. Use it as a dedicated connection to sources used only with the A-BUS system.

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 7.1-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 (AVR 460 only, AVR 360 has a fixed power cord): After you have made all other connections, plug the AC power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
