OPERATION

Network Playback

The AVR 760/AVR 660 is capable of playing audio media stored on a PC when both the PC and the AVR are connected to a home-network router.

NOTES:

•• The PC must be running Windows Media® Player version 11 or higher, Windows Media Center version 2.0 or 3.0, or Intel® Media Server. It is recommended that any firewalls be turned off, although Windows Media Player may automatically make any necessary adjustments to the firewall settings to allow media sharing.

•• An Apple Macintosh computer must be running DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)- compliant software. Examples of compatible software include the MediaLink program by Nullriver, Inc., and EyeConnect™ software by Elgato Systems.

From the media player software, select the “Share media” option (or a similar menu option), and select the AVR as the device.

On the AVR, select Network as the source. Press the Network Source Selector a second time, if necessary, to switch from the Internet Radio source to the Network source. Press the Menu Button, and the PC should appear by name.

Browse the content stored in the PC’s media player library, using the slide-in menu. Scroll to the desired item and press the OK Button or the N Navigation Button to select it. To return to the previous menu level (or to clear the menu from view from the top level), press the Back/Exit Button or the M Button.

NOTES:

•• The Repeat, Random and Slideshow Speed settings are global for Network Playback and USB Playback. Changing these settings for one of these sources will have the same effect for the other source.

•• Although video content may appear in the menu, the AVR does not support video playback from the network connection.

Recording

Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite and S-video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. To make a recording, connect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as described in the Installation section, insert blank media and make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing.

NOTES:

1.Analog and digital audio signals are not converted to the other format.

2.Only PCM digital audio signals are available for recording. Proprietary formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS may not be recorded using the digital audio connections. Use the analog audio connections to make an analog recording.

3.HDMI and component video sources are not available for recording.

4.Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by federal law.

Using Docking Station

The Bridge II is an included dock that is compatible with most docking iPod models, 4G and later (not included). When The Bridge II is connected to its proprietary input on the AVR 760/AVR 660 and the iPod is docked, you may play the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod through your high-quality audio/video system, operate the iPod using the AVR remote or the AVR’s front-panel controls, view navigation messages on the AVR’s front panel or a connected video display, and charge the iPod.

When the source The Bridge is selected and an iPod is docked, the message “The Bridge” appears in the front-panel Message Display. If the AVR doesn’t detect the iPod, turn off the AVR, remove the iPod from The Bridge II and reset the iPod. When the iPod returns to its main menu, redock it and turn on the AVR.

Table 4 summarizes the controls available with The Bridge II during normal playback.
