ENGLISH

AM and FM Antenna Terminals: Connect the included AM and FM antennas to their respective terminals for radio reception.

Component Video Monitor Output: If you are using one of the Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is component- video-capable, connect these jacks to the video display.

NOTE: Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at the Component Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected sources.

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.

NOTE: AVR 160 does not transcode composite video source signals to the component video format.

Video Monitor Output: If any of your sources use composite video connections, connect this monitor output to the corresponding input on your video display. Composite video source signals are only available at this output.

Video 1, Video 2 and DVD Audio/Video Inputs: These jacks may be used to connect your video-capable source components (e.g., Blu-ray Disc™ player, DVD player, cable TV box) to the receiver.

NOTE: If a source is equipped with an HDMI output, it is preferable to connect it to one of the AVR’s HDMI Inputs. If the source does not have an HDMI output, use its component or composite video output, and make a separate audio connection.

Video 1 Audio/Video Outputs: These jacks may be used to connect your DVR, VCR or another recorder.

HDMI Inputs and Output: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a connection for transmitting digital audio and video signals between devices. Connect up to three HDMI-equipped source devices to the HDMI inputs using a single-cable connection.

When you connect the HDMI Output to your video display, the AVR 160 will automatically transcode component video source signals to the HDMI format, but they will be passed through at the original resolution and will not be scaled. The AVR’s on-screen menus are visible when the HDMI Output is used, but only at 576i resolution. The main video source will not be visible.

NOTES: When connecting a DVI-equipped display to one of the HDMI Outputs:

•• Use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.

•• Make sure the display is HDCP-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect it to an HDMI Output; use an analog video connection instead.

•• Always make a separate audio connection.
