Connections

Connect Your Speakers

How to use the AVR speaker terminals:

1. Unscrew Cap

2. Insert Bare Wire

3. Tighten Cap

Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker 

(usually red), and the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the (–) terminal on the speaker 

(usually black).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not touch each other or the other 

terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your AVR.
Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration.

Connect Your Subwoofer

Use a single RCA audio cable to connect your subwoofer to AVR’s Subwoofer 

 

Pre-Out connector, as shown in the illustration below. (For the AVR 1710/AVR 171 you 

can use either the Subwoofer 1 or Subwoofer 2 connector when you’re using a single 

subwoofer, or you may connect two subwoofers for increased bass performance in larger 

listening rooms.) Consult your subwoofer’s user manual for specific information about 

making connections to it.

If your TV has an HDMI connector: 

Use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect it to 

the AVR’s HDMI Out connector. (For the AVR 1710/AVR 171 you can use either HDMI Out 

connector.) You do not need to make any other connections to your TV from the AVR or 

from any of your video source components.

AVR 1710/AVR 171 only:

 Connect a single TV to the HDMI Out 1 connector. If you have a 

second TV you can connect it to the AVR’s HDMI Out 2 connector. Both TVs will display the 

same picture, but the HDMI Out 2 connector will not output the AVR’s on-screen display 

and does not have Audio Return Channel capability (see below).

Note:

 If your TV is equipped with the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, you can feed 

its sound to the AVR via the HDMI Out connector’s Audio Return Channel, and it will not 

require additional audio connections to the AVR. (For the AVR 1710/AVR 171 the ARC is 

available only on the HDMI Out 1 connector.)
