AVR
Rear-Panel Connectors, continued
Digital Audio connectors: If your non-HDMI source devices have digital outputs,
connect them to the AVR's digital audio connectors. NOTE: Make only one type of digital
connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial) from each device. See Connect Your Audio and Video
Source Devices, on page 15, for more information.
Radio Antenna connectors: Connect the supplied AM and FM antennas to their
respective terminals for radio reception.
Analog Audio connectors: The following analog audio connectors are provided:
• Analog Audio Input connectors: Use the AVR's Analog Audio Input connectors for
source devices that don't have HDMI or digital audio connectors. See Connect Your
Audio and Video Source Devices, on page 15, for more information.
Network connector: If your home network is wired, use a Cat. 5 or Cat. 5E Ethernet
cable (not supplied) to connect the AVR's Network connector to your home network to
enjoy Internet radio and content from DLNA-compatible devices that are connected to the
network. See Connect to Your Home Network, on page 17, for more information.
Subwoofer Pre-Out connector: Connect this jack to a powered subwoofer with a line-
level input. See Connect Your Subwoofer, on page 13, for more information.
IR and Trigger connector: The following IR and trigger connectors are provided:
• IR In connectors: When the IR sensor on the front panel is blocked (such as when
the AVR is installed inside a cabinet), connect an optional IR receiver to the IR In
jack.
• 12V Trigger connector: This connector provides 12V DC whenever the AVR is on. It
can be used to turn on and off other devices such as a powered subwoofer.
HDMI Output connectors: If your TV has an HDMI connector and you are connecting
HDMI source devices to the AVR, use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect it to the
AVR's HDMI Out connector.
Notes on using the HDMI Output connector:
• When connecting a DVI-equipped display to the HDMI Out connector, use an
HDMI-to-DVI adapter and make a separate audio connection.
• Make sure the HDMI-equipped display is HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection)-compliant. If it isn't, do not connect it via an HDMI connection; use an
analog video connection instead and make a separate audio connection.
Speaker connectors: Use two-conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals
to the correct speaker. See Connect Your Speakers, on page 13, for more information.
Analog Video connectors: The following Analog Video connectors are provided:
• Composite Video Input connectors: Use composite video connectors for video
source devices that don't have HDMI connectors. You will also need to make an
audio connection from the source device to the AVR. See Connect Your Audio and
Video Source Devices, on page 15, for more information.
• Composite Video Monitor Out connector: If your TV or video display does not
have an HDMI connector, or if your TV does have an HDMI connector but you are
connecting some source devices with only composite video connectors, use a
composite video cable (not included) to connect the AVR's Composite Video Monitor
Out connector to your TV 's composite video input.
HDMI
Input connectors: An HDMI connection transmits digital audio and video signals
®
between devices. If your source devices have HDMI connectors, using them will provide
the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries
both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio
connections for devices you connect via the HDMI connection. See Connect Your Audio
and Video Source Devices, on page 15, for more information.
AC Input connector (AVR 101IN only): After you have made and verified all other
connections, plug the supplied AC power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched
wall outlet.
