AM Antenna: Connect the AM loop antenna supplied with the receiver to these terminals. If an external AM antenna is used, make connections to the AM and GND terminals in accordance with the instructions supplied with the antenna.

FM Antenna: Connect the supplied indoor or an optional external FM antenna to this terminal.

Tape Inputs: Connect these jacks to the PLAY/OUT jacks of an audio recorder.

Tape Outputs: Connect these jacks to the RECORD/INPUT jacks of an audio recorder.

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.

DVD Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the analog audio jacks on a DVD or other audio or video source.

CD Inputs: Connect these jacks to the analog output of a compact disc player or CD changer or any other audio source.

Multiroom Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional audio power amplifier to listen to the source selected by the multiroom system in a remote room.

Fan Vents: These ventilation holes are the output of the AVR 507’s airflow system. To ensure proper operation of the unit and to avoid possible damage to delicate surfaces, make certain that these holes are not blocked and that there is at least three inches of open space between the vent holes and any wooden or fabric surface.

8-Channel Direct Inputs: These jacks are used for connection 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.

Digital Audio Outputs: Connect these

jacks to the matching digital input connector on

adigital recorder such as a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.
