Types of Home Theater System 

 Connections, continued

Digital Audio Connections – Optical

optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from 

dust. the shutter opens as the cable is inserted. optical input connectors are color-coded 

using a black shutter.

Analog Audio Connections

two-channel analog connections require a stereo audio cable, with one connector for 

the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). these two connectors are 

attached to each other.

for source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both 

connections. 
the analog connections also feed the Analog record output connectors. you may record 

materials from blu-ray disc recordings, dVds or other copy-protected sources using only 

analog connections. remember to comply with all copyright laws if you choose to make 

a copy for your own personal use.

Video Connections

many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., blu-ray disc, dVd 

player, cable television box, hdtV tuner, satellite box, Vcr, dVr). In addition to an audio 

connection as described above, make a video connection for each of these source 

devices. make only one type of video connection for each device.

Digital Video Connections

If you have already connected a source device to one of the AVr’s hdmI input connectors, 

you have automatically made a video connection for that device, since the hdmI cable 

carries both digital audio and digital video signals.

Analog Video Connections – Composite Video

composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. both the chrominance 

(color) and the luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted 

using a single cable. the jack is usually color-coded yellow and looks like an analog 

audio jack. do not connect a composite video jack to an analog audio or coaxial digital 

audio jack, or vice versa.

Radio Connections

your AVr uses separate terminals for the included fm and Am antennas. the fm antenna 

uses a 75-ohm f-connector.

the Am antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna 

as shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into the 

openings, and release the levers to secure the wires.

USB Port

the AVr can play mp3 and wmA audio files from a uSb device inserted into the uSb port. 

Insert the device into the uSb port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. you may 

insert or remove the device at any time – there is no installation or ejection procedure.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVR’s USB 

port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device.
