INSTALLATION
NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections named for that source. For example, you might connect your DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1 digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as “DVD”, and in Step Five of the Initial Setup section you will program the receiver so that these connections are assigned to the DVD source. When you select “DVD” as your source using the front panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD player will be used.
We recommend connecting your various sources using the connections shown in Table 2 below in order to simplify programming your receiver and remote control. However, you may connect any device to any source input.

NOTE: The AVR 146 is equipped with a total of six digital audio inputs, four on the rear panel (Coaxial 1 and 2, Optical 1 and 2) and two on the front panel (Coaxial 3 and Optical 3), which may be assigned to any of the eight source inputs (DVD, Video 1 through 3, HDMI 1 and 2, CD and Tape). We recommend certain digital audio connections simply because, as reflected in Table A1 of the Appendix, those digital audio inputs are assigned
to those sources by default at the factory. But any digital audio input may be reassigned to any source. Since you may not be using all eight source inputs, you may reassign a digital audio input that is recommended for a source you aren’t using to another device. Table 2 is a guideline; you may need to make adjustments to fit your system.
