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 460/AVR 360, 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 Output.
Step four – connect
Dock
To enjoy content stored on a compatible iPod or iPhone (not included),
connect The Bridge III dock (optional) 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 16) 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 – connect remote Ir Inputs and
outputs
The AVR 460 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. AVR 360 is equipped with a
Remote IR Input, Zone 2 Input and a stripped Remote IR Output.
When the AVR 460/AVR 360 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 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 460/AVR 360 (and any sources connected to the
AVR’s Remote IR Output) from the remote zone. Signals transmitted through
the Zone 2 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.
