REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

Main Power Switch

: This mechanical switch turns the power supply on 

or off. It is usually left on, and cannot be turned on or off using the remote 
control.

6-/8-Channel Inputs

: Connect the multichannel analog audio outputs 

of a non-HDMI player (DVD-Audio, SACD™, Blu-ray Disc™ or HD-DVD, or any 
other external decoder) to these jacks.

Coaxial 1/2 and Optical 1/2/3 Digital Audio Inputs

: If a source 

has a compatible digital audio output, and if you are not using an HDMI 
connection for audio for the device, connect it to one of these jacks to hear 
digital audio formats, such as Dolby Digital, DTS and linear PCM. Use only one 
type of digital audio connection for each source.

Coaxial Digital Audio Output

: If a source is also an audio recorder, 

connect the Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the recorder’s matching input for 
improved recording quality. Only PCM digital audio signals are available for 
recording. Both coaxial and optical digital audio signals are available at this 
Digital Audio Output.

Zone 2 Infrared (IR) Input

: Connect a remote IR receiver located in the 

remote zone of a multizone system to this jack to control the AVR (and any 
source devices connected to the Remote IR Output) from the remote zone.

Remote Infrared (IR) Input and Output

: When the remote IR 

receiver on the front panel is blocked, connect an optional IR receiver to the 
Remote IR Input jack. The Remote IR Output may be connected to the Remote 
IR Input of a compatible product to enable remote control through the AVR.

Remote IR Carrier Output(AVR 460 only)

: This output is similar in 

function to the Remote IR Output, with the difference that this jack outputs 
the full infrared signal as received by the AVR’s IR sensor or the Remote IR 
Input, while the Remote IR Output jack outputs a “stripped” signal that has no 
carrier frequency.

HDMI Inputs and Output

: HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) 

is a connection for transmitting digital audio and video signals between 
devices. Connect up to four HDMI-equipped source devices to the HDMI inputs 
using a single-cable connection.

When you connect the HDMI Output to your video display, the 
AVR 460/AVR 360 will automatically transcode analog video signals to the 
HDMI format, upscaling to as high as 1080p.

NOTES

: When connecting a DVI-equipped display to one of the HDMI 

Outputs:

Use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter.

 

Make sure the display is HDCP-compliant. If it isn’t, do not connect it to 

 

an HDMI Output; use an analog video connection instead.

Always make a separate audio connection.

 

Analog 1 – 5 Inputs

: Connect the left and right analog audio outputs of 

a source device to any of these inputs. These inputs may be paired with any 
video inputs.

NOTES

:

The Analog 2 and 4 inputs are each associated with a set of outputs. 
Consider using these connectors for an audio or video recorder.

You may optionally connect a source to both an analog and digital audio 
input. This is useful for making recordings, for multizone applications or 
simply as a backup.
