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:

HDCP-copy-protected sources are not available at the Component Video Monitor Outputs.

Standard and high-definition analog video signals may be 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 2600 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas.

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

with standard audio connections, labeled for “car and home use,” you will not be able to enjoy the AVR 2600’s ease of control.

USB PORT

The USB Port on the AVR 2600 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.

To enjoy SIRIUS satellite radio, purchase a SIRIUS-Ready tuner module and a subscription to the SIRIUS service. Visit www.sirius.com

for information on SIRIUS-Ready tuner modules. The AVR 2600 is compatible with the SiriusConnect 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
