JBL manual terminals on the AVR580 to the black

(+)terminals on the AVR580 to the red (+) terminals on the speakers and the black

(–) terminals on the AVR580 to the black

(–) terminals on the speakers. See page 17 for more information on speaker polarity.

¶Fan Vents: These ventilation holes are the output of the AVR580’s airflow system. To ensure proper operation of the unit and to avoid possible damage to del- icate surfaces, make certain that these holes are not blocked and that there is at least three inches of open space between the vent holes and any wooden or fabric surface. It is normal for the fan to remain off at most normal volume levels. An automatic termperature sensor turns the fan on only when it is needed.

•Center Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and – terminals on your center channel speaker. In conformance with the new CEA color- code specification, the green terminal is the positive, or “+,” terminal that should be connected to the red (+) terminal on speakers with the older color-coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the black (–) terminal on your speaker. (See page 17 for more information on speaker polarity.)

ªSurround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs: These speaker termi- nals are normally used to power the sur- round back left/surround back right speakers in a 7.1 channel system. How- ever, they may also be used to power the speakers in a second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multi- room system. To change the output fed to these terminals from the default of the Surround Back speakers to the Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the Advanced Menu of the OSD system. See page 37 for more information on configur- ing this speaker output. In normal sur- round system use, the brown and black terminals are the surround back left chan- nel positive (+) and negative (–) connec- tions and the tan and black terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and negative (–) terminals. For multiroom use, connect the brown and black SBL termi- nals to the red and black connections on the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on the right remote zone speaker.

‚AC Power Cord Jack: Connect the AC power cord to this jack when the installation is complete. To ensure safe operation, use only the power cord sup- plied with the unit. If a replacement is required it must be of the same type and capacity.

Depending on the electrical requirements in your area or the wiring in your home, the power cords included with your AVR may not be the correct ones, and you may need to contact your local JBL distributor to obtain the correct power cord.

⁄Region Selector: Select the position corresponding to the country in which the AVR will be used (C, S or K) so that the video standard and the FM tuner’s fre- quency increments will be correct. See page 35 for more information on setting the Region Selector ⁄.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any adjustments made to the Region Selector ⁄ will not take effect unless the unit is first fully turned off by pressing the Main Power Switch 1 until it pops out and the word “OFF” appears on the top of the button.

¤Video Monitor Outputs: Connect these jacks to the composite or S-Video input of a TV monitor or video projector to view the on-screen menus and the output of any standard video source selected by the receiver’s video switcher.

‹DVD Video Inputs: Connect the com- posite or S-Video outputs of a DVD player or other video source to these jacks.

›Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or other video source to these jacks.

fiVideo 1 Video Outputs: Connect the composite or S-Video REC/IN jacks of a VCR or other video recording device such as a DVD recorder or PVR to these jacks.

flVideo 2 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or other video source to these jacks.

‡Video 2 Video Outputs: Connect the composite or S-Video REC/IN jacks of a VCR or other video recording device such as a DVD recorder or PVR to these jacks.

°Video 3 Video Inputs: Connect the composite or S-Video PLAY/OUT jacks of a VCR or other video source to these jacks.

·Component Video Monitor Outputs: Connect these outputs to the component video inputs of a video projec- tor or monitor. When a source connected to one of the Component Video Inputs ab is selected, the signal will be sent to these jacks.

aComponent Video 1 Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of a DVD player, HDTV set-top converter, satellite receiver or other video source device with component video outputs to these jacks.

bComponent Video 2 Inputs: Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of an HDTV set-top converter, satellite receiver or other video source device with component video outputs to these jacks.

cRS-232 Port: This jack is used to enable the AVR580 to be controlled by an external computer or programmable remote system that uses RS-232 com- mands. Due to the complexity of RS-232 connections, we recommend that they be made by a trained and qualified custom installer. See page 18 for more informa- tion on the RS-232 control port.

dMultiroom IR Input: Connect the out- put of an IR sensor in a remote room to this jack to operate the AVR580’s multi- room control system.

eRemote IR Input: If the AVR580’s front-panel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doors or other obstructions, an external IR sensor may be used. Connect the output of the sensor to this jack.

fRemote IR Output: This connection permits the IR sensor in the receiver to serve other remote controlled devices.

Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jack on JBL (or other compatible) equipment.

gCoaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack to the coaxial digital input of a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other digital recorder.

hMultiroom Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to the optional external audio power amplifier and video distribution system that delivers the source selected for multizone distribution.

iOptical Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack to the optical digital input connector on a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other digital recorder.
