INSTALLATION
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 760/AVR 660, 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.
Maintain at least 7 cm of free space behind the receiver for free airflow to the
fan.
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 system-best video input on the TV to the corresponding video
monitor output on the AVR.
Step tHree – connect Loudspeakers
After you have placed your loudspeakers in the room as explained on page
18, connect each speaker to its color-coded terminal on the AVR. Maintain
proper polarity by connecting the negative terminal on the speaker (usually
colored black) to the negative terminal on the AVR (also colored black); and
the positive terminal on the speaker (usually red) to the positive terminal on
the AVR (color varies by channel; see Table 1 on page 15).
If you have a subwoofer, connect its line-level or LFE input to the purple
Subwoofer 1 Output. An optional second subwoofer may be connected to the
Subwoofer 2 Output.
NOTE
: If the subwoofer only has speaker-level inputs, after you have
configured the AVR using EzSet/EQ II technology as described on page
26, connect the subwoofer’s left and right speaker input terminals to the
AVR’s Front Left and Front Right Speaker Outputs, then connect the front
left and right main speakers to the subwoofer’s left and right speaker
output terminals. Consult the owner’s manual for the subwoofer for specific
installation instructions.
Step four – connect Dock
To enjoy content stored on a compatible iPod (not included), connect The
Bridge II dock (included) to its proprietary connector.
Step fIVe – connect fm antenna
Connect the included FM antenna to the 75-ohm FM antenna terminal.
Step SIX – connect am antenna
Assemble the included AM antenna (see Figure 17) 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 SeVen – not active for aVr 760/aVr 660
Step eIGHt – connect uSB Device
To play MP3 or WMA audio files or JPEG still-image files stored on a USB
storage device, connect the device to the front-panel USB Port, using a cable
or connector that is attached to the device or provided by you.
Step nIne – connect aVr to Internet
To use the AVR’s internal Internet Radio tuner to listen to MP3 or WMA audio
streams, connect the Network Jack to the Ethernet port on a router or modem
that has Internet access, a home network, or directly to a PC. You may need
to contact your Internet service provider (ISP), or the manufacturer of your
router, to obtain the information necessary to set up the network connection.
See pages 33 and 34.
Step ten – connect remote Ir Inputs and
outputs
The AVR 760/AVR 660 is equipped with a Remote IR Input, a Zone 2 Input
and both full-carrier and stripped Remote IR Outputs to facilitate use of your
system with a remote control in a variety of situations.
When the AVR 760/AVR 660 is placed inside a cabinet or facing away from the
listener, connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon
HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack. For multizone operation, connect an
optional IR receiver, keypad or other control device to the Zone 2 IR Input for
remote control of the AVR 760/AVR 660 (and any sources connected to the
AVR’s Remote IR Output) from the remote zone. Signals transmitted through
the Zone 2 IR Input will control source selection and volume for the main or
remote zone, depending on the setting of the remote’s Zone Selector. If a
source device is shared with the main listening area, any control commands
issued to that source will also affect the main room.
