REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

HDMI Inputs and Output: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a connection for transmitting digital audio and video signals between devices. Connect up to four 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 760/ AVR 660 will automatically transcode analog video signals to the HDMI format, upscaling to as high as 1080p.

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.

Analog 1 – 5 Inputs: Connect the left and right analog audio outputs of a source device to any of these inputs. These inputs may be paired with any video inputs.

NOTES:

The Analog 3 and 4 inputs are each associated with a set of outputs. Consider using these connectors for an audio or video recorder.

You may optionally connect a source to both an analog and digital audio input. This is useful for making recordings, for multizone applications or simply as a backup.

Analog 3 and 4 Outputs: Connect either of these analog audio outputs to the analog audio inputs of a recording device. A signal is available at these outputs whenever an analog audio source is playing.

Zone 2 Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier to power the speakers in the remote zone of a multizone system.

Subwoofer 1 and 2 Outputs: If you have a powered subwoofer with a line-level input, connect it to the Subwoofer 1 Output. For improved performance, connect a second powered subwoofer to the Subwoofer 2 Output (Subwoofer 2 on AVR 760 only).

The Bridge II Input: Connect the included Harman Kardon docking station to this input for use with most docking iPod models, 4G and later (not included). Turn the receiver off (Standby mode) when connecting The Bridge II.

Fan Vents: This area contains vents used by the AVR 760/AVR 660’s fan to cool the system. Maintain a clearance of at least 8 cm from the nearest surface to avoid overheating the unit. It is normal for the fan to remain off at most normal volume levels. An automatic temperature sensor turns the fan on only when it is needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Never block the fan vents, as doing so could allow the AVR to overheat to dangerous levels.

Zone 2 Video Output: Connect this composite video jack to a video display located in the remote zone of a multizone system. When the multizone system is in use, viewers in the remote zone will be able to see the AVR’s on-screen text menus and any available source video, as long as the source is connected to a Composite Video Input, and that input is specified for that source in the Zone 2 Video setting of the Info Settings menu (AVR 760 only).

Composite and S-Video 1, 2 and 3 Video Inputs: Use these jacks to connect your video-capable source components (e.g., VCR, DVD player, cable TV box) to the receiver. Use only one type of video connection for each source.

Composite and S-Video 2 Outputs: Connect one of these analog video outputs to the composite or S-video inputs of a recording device. A signal is available at these outputs whenever an analog video source is playing.

Composite and S-Video Monitor Outputs: If any of your sources use composite or S-video connections, connect one or both of these monitor outputs to the corresponding inputs on your video display. If your video display is equipped with HDMI or component video inputs, these connections are unnecessary, as the AVR 760/AVR 660 will convert the composite or S-video source signal to the correct format for a single video-cable connection to the TV.

Component Video 1, 2 and 3 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.

Component Video Monitor Outputs: If you are using one of the Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is component- video-capable (but does not have HDMI), connect these jacks to the video display.

NOTES:

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

•• Composite and S-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 connection 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.

Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an external amplifier if more power is desired. The Surround Back/Zone 2 Preamp Outputs may be used with an external amplifier to power the remote zone of a multizone system.

A-BUS Port: Use a Category 5/5e cable to connect this port to optional A-BUS equipment for multizone operation. When the A-BUS system is used, it is possible to have a full 7.2-channel system in the main listening room at the same time the multizone system is in use.

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 7.2-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 Input: After you have made all other connections, plug the AC power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
