ENGLISH

6-/8-Channel Inputs: Connect the multichannel analog audio outputs of a non-HDMI player (DVD-Audio, SACD™, Blu-ray Disc™ or HD-DVD, or any other external decoder) to these jacks.

Coaxial 1/2/3 and Optical 1/2/3 Digital Audio Inputs: If a source has a compatible digital audio output, and if you are not using an HDMI connection for audio for the device, connect it to one of these jacks to hear digital audio formats, such as Dolby Digital, DTS and linear PCM. Use only one type of digital audio connection for each source.

Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs: If a source is also an audio recorder, connect one of the Digital Audio Outputs to the recorder’s matching input for improved recording quality. Only PCM digital audio signals are available for recording. Both coaxial and optical digital audio signals are available at either Digital Audio Output.

Network Jack: Plug in an RJ-45-compatible cable that connects to a personal computer (PC), router or Internet access. When connected to a PC, the AVR 760/AVR 660 is capable of playing audio and JPEG files stored on the PC. When connected to the Internet, the AVR 760/AVR 660 may be used to enjoy Internet Radio. See pages 36 and 37 for more information.

RS-232 Serial Port: This bi-directional port may be used to control the AVR 760/AVR 660 using an RS-232 serial control link to a compatible computer or programmable remote control system. Due to the complexity of programming RS-232 commands, connections and programming for control purposes should be performed by a qualified custom installer.

Trigger 1 and 2 Outputs: Connect these control jacks to the trigger input jack of an external component, such as an audio power amplifier, that you want to power on any time the AVR 760/AVR 660 is turned on, without using the AVR’s Switched Accessory Outlet for power. When this connection is used, the AVR 760/AVR 660 will automatically send a low-voltage signal to the connected device that triggers it to turn on when the AVR 760/AVR 660 is on, and off when the AVR 760/AVR 660 is placed in the Standby Mode. The connected component must respond to 6-volt presence as the control signal.

The Trigger 2 Output may be programmed to transmit its signal only when certain of the AVR’s source inputs are selected. For example, to lower a screen when watching a DVD movie, but not while listening to the tuner, connect the Trigger 2 Output to the screen and program it to be on when the DVD source is selected, but off when the AM or FM bands are in use. See the Initial Setup section for more information on programming this setting in the Info Settings menus for each source.

Zone 2 Infrared (IR) Input: Connect a remote IR receiver located in the remote zone of a multizone system to this jack to control the AVR (and any source devices connected to the Remote IR Output) from the remote zone.

Remote Infrared (IR) Input and Output: When the remote IR receiver on the front panel is blocked, connect an optional IR receiver to the Remote IR Input jack. The Remote IR Output may be connected to the Remote IR Input of a compatible product to enable remote control through the AVR.

Remote IR Carrier Output: This output is similar in function to the Remote IR Output, with the difference that this jack outputs the full infrared signal as received by the AVR’s IR sensor or the Remote IR Input, while

the Remote IR Output jack outputs a “stripped” signal that has no carrier frequency.
