2.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a satellite receiver, cable TV converter or any other video source to the Video 2 Audio and Video Input Jacks fl .

3.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD Audio and Video Inputs ‹k.

4.Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable

box or HDTV converter to the appropriate Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs

3134 &*.

5.If you are using your television as a signal source, then connect its analog audio outputs to the Video 3 Audio Input Jacks 40 . NEVER connect the TV’s video outputs to the Video 3 Video Input Jacks ° or to any other inputs on the AVR580. If you are not using your television as a signal source (e.g., if you are separately connecting a cable TV box to the Video 2 Audio and Video Input Jacks fl37 ), then do not connect any of the TV’s outputs to any inputs on the AVR580. In that case you should only connect the AVR’s Video Monitor Outputs ¤ to the TV as indicated in paragraph 6 below. However, you may still find it conven- ient to program the VID3/TV input selector on the remote control for your TV as described on page 41. If you pre- fer, you may connect another type of video source, such as a second VCR, to the AVR580’s Video 3 Audio and Video Input Jacks °40 . You may then reassign that device type to the VID3/TV input selector on the remote as described on page 45, and you will not be able to control your TV using the AVR remote.

6.Connect the Video Monitor Output ¤ jacks on the receiver to the com- posite or S-Video input of your televi- sion monitor or video projector.

7.If your DVD player and monitor both have component video connections, connect the component outputs of the DVD player to the Component Video 1 Inputs a. Even when component video connections are used, the audio connections should still be made to either the analog DVD Audio Inputs k or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Input Jacks 31 34 . Note, however, that the Coaxial 1 Digital

18

Audio Input 31 is assigned to the DVD source by default. For more infor- mation on reassigning the digital inputs to various sources, see pages 22 and 32. The Component Video 1 Inputs a are assigned to the DVD source and may not be reassigned.

8.If another device with component video outputs is available, connect it to

the Component Video 2 Inputs b. The audio connections for this device should be made to either the Video 2 Audio Inputs 37 or any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Input

Jacks 31 34 . The Component Video 2 Inputs b are assigned to the Video 2 source and may not be reas- signed. If you are using a cable televi- sion, satellite receiver, HDTV or other video set-top box that has component video outputs, it is recommended that you designate it as the Video 2 source when programming the remote control.

9.If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs · to the compo- nent video inputs of your TV, projector or display device.

10.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the AVR on a temporary rather than permanent basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio out- puts of that device to the Front-Panel Inputs &*(Ó. A device con- nected here is selected as the Video 4 input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the Video 4 input. (See page 22 for more information on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

•When the component video jacks are used, the on-screen menus are not visi- ble and you must switch to the stan- dard composite or S-Video input on your TV to view them.

•The AVR580 will accept either stan- dard composite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals. However, it will not convert composite or S signals to component video.

•Component and composite video sig- nals may only be viewed in their native formats. Thus both connections must be made from the AVR580 to the TV

if both composite video and S-Video sources are used, and the appropriate input on the TV must be selected.

However, only one video connection should be made between the source (e.g., VCR) and the AVR580.

•Only the video cables (the yellow com- posite video; the S-Video or the green, red and blue component video cables) need to be connected to the TV or video display. The volume on the TV should be reduced to minimum.

System and Power

Connections

The AVR580 is designed for flexible use with multiroom systems, external control components and power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control

Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruc- tion may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input e jack.

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote IR Output

fjack to the Remote IR Input jack on compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to the AVR580 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR connection cable into the Multiroom IR Input d jack on the AVR580’s rear panel.

If other compatible source equipment is part of the main room installation, the Remote IR Output f jack on the rear panel should be connected to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the remote room location to control source equipment functions.

NOTE: All remotely controlled compo- nents must be linked together in a “daisy chain”. Connect the IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish this chain.
