audio jack. Do not plug a composite video cable into an analog or coaxial digital audio jack, or vice versa. Both the chrominance (color) and luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted using a single cable. See Figure 10.

Composite video cable

Figure 10 – Composite Video

Component video separates the video signal into three compo- nents – one luminance (“Y”) and two sub-sampled color signals (“Pb” and “Pr”) – that are transmitted using three separate cables. See Figure 11.

If it’s available on your video display, an HDMI connection is recom- mended as the best quality connection, followed by component video, and then composite video.

NOTES:

•Copy-protected sources are not available at the Component Video Monitor Outputs.

•Standard and high-definition analog video signals maybe upscaled to 1080i resolution for the Component Video Monitor Outputs. For improved video performance, consider upgrading to an HDMI-capable video display with 1080p resolution.

ANTENNAS

The AVR 3600 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas.

The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. See Figure 12.

compatible with the Sirius-Connect SC-H1 tuner module, using the 8-pin DIN cable included with the module, and it provides power for the tuner module, so that it is not necessary to use the AC adapter supplied with the tuner module. Although you may use a module with standard audio connections, labeled for “car and home use,” you will not be able to enjoy the AVR 3600’s ease of control.

USB PORT

The USB Port on the AVR 3600 is used only for software upgrades. If an upgrade for the receiver’s operating system is released in the future, it may be downloaded to the AVR using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.

The AM loop antenna needs to be assembled. Connect the two leads to the spring terminals on the receiver. The AM antenna leads have no polarity, and you may connect them to either terminal. See Figure 13.
