NOTES:

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

•Composite video signals are 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 connec- tion 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.

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 Cord: After you have made all other connections, plug the AC power cord into an unswitched wall outlet.
