You are now ready to begin installing the AVR. Before beginning to connect the various components to the receiver, turn off all devices, including the AVR 760/AVR 660, and unplug their power cords. Don’t plug in any of the power cords until you have finished making all of your connections.
The receiver generates heat. Select a location that leaves several centimeters of space on all sides. Avoid completely enclosing the receiver inside an unventilated cabinet. Place components on separate shelves rather than stacking them directly on top of the receiver. Never block the AVR’s ventilation slots on the top and side panels. Doing so could cause the AVR to overheat, with potentially serious consequences. Some shelf surface finishes are delicate. Try to select a location with a sturdy surface finish.
Maintain at least 7 cm of free space behind the receiver for free airflow to the fan.
Almost all of the following installation steps are optional, depending on your system. Skip any step that does not apply to your system.
STEP ONE – Connect Source Devices
Leaving all AC power cords unplugged, connect the source devices to the AVR using the audio and video inputs you assigned in Table 2.
STEP TWO – Connect TV

STEP FIVE – Connect FM Antenna
Connect the included FM antenna to the
STEP SIX – Connect AM Antenna
Assemble the included AM antenna (see Figure 17) and connect it to the AM and Ground antenna terminals. The antenna is not polarized, and either lead may be connected to either terminal.

STEP SEVEN – Not active for AVR 760/AVR 660
STEP EIGHT – Connect USB Device
To play MP3 or WMA audio files or JPEG
STEP NINE – Connect AVR to Internet
To use the AVR’s internal Internet Radio tuner to listen to MP3 or WMA audio streams, connect the Network Jack to the Ethernet port on a router or modem that has Internet access, a home network, or directly to a PC. You may need to contact your Internet service provider (ISP), or the manufacturer of your router, to obtain the information necessary to set up the network connection. See pages 33 and 34.
STEP TEN – Connect Remote IR Inputs and Outputs
The AVR 760/AVR 660 is equipped with a Remote IR Input, a Zone 2 Input and both
When the AVR 760/AVR 660 is placed inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack. For multizone operation, connect an optional IR receiver, keypad or other control device to the Zone 2 IR Input for remote control of the AVR 760/AVR 660 (and any sources connected to the AVR’s Remote IR Output) from the remote zone. Signals transmitted through the Zone 2 IR Input will control source selection and volume for the main or remote zone, depending on the setting of the remote’s Zone Selector. If a source device is shared with the main listening area, any control commands issued to that source will also affect the main room.
