![STEP ONE – Connect Source Devices](/images/new-backgrounds/13933/1393341x1.webp)
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 160, 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.
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
Connect the

INSTALLATION
STEP FIVE – Connect AM Antenna
Assemble the included AM antenna (see Figure 16) 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 SIX – Plug in AC Power Cords
Before plugging the AVR into an unswitched electrical outlet, make sure the Main Power Switch behind the
Plug the AC Power cord into an unswitched AC outlet.
It is recommended that you copy the appropriate information from the Table 2 worksheet to Table A5 in the appendix for future reference, in the event changes are made to the system components.
STEP SEVEN – Insert Batteries in Remote
The AVR 160 remote control uses three AAA batteries (included).
To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly press the ridged depression and slide the cover toward the top of the remote.
Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 17, observing the correct polarity.
Figure 17
Point the remote’s lens toward the front panel of the AVR 160. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are blocking the remote’s path to the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning. The remote has a range of about 7 meter, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the AVR.
If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause the AVR Settings Button or one of the Source Selectors to light, check or replace the batteries.
