GETTING STARTED
Decide which sources to connect to each of the video 5.
inputs
: Assign only one unique video input to each source. Use the best
type of video connection available for each source.
If your system-best video connection is “HDMI”, select up to four HDMI •
source devices and assign them to one of the four numbered HDMI
Inputs.
If your system-best video connection is “Component”, or if you have •
source devices with component video outputs that weren’t assigned
to one of the HDMI Inputs, assign up to two devices to one of the two
numbered Component Video Inputs.
If your system-best video connection is “Composite Video”, or if you •
have source devices with composite video outputs that have not been
assigned to any other video input, then assign up to three devices to
one of the three numbered composite video Inputs.
NOTE
: If the source device is a video recorder that will be used to record
from other devices connected to the AVR, assign the recorder to the
Composite Video 2 Input, which has a recording output. Any of the Coaxial
or Optical Digital Inputs may be assigned to the recorder for audio, if it is
capable of making digital audio recordings. To make analog recordings,
assign either the Analog 2 or 4 Audio Inputs to the recorder, as both have
recording outputs. It is not necessary to connect TiVo or Video Recorder
devices that will only record from their direct cable or satellite television
signals to the AVR’s recording outputs.
Decide which audio inputs to connect to each source
6.
: Assign
only one unique digital audio input to each digital source. Assign analog
audio inputs to analog sources, or as secondary connections for digital
sources for backup, for recording or to make the source available to the
multizone system.
Any source using an HDMI Input requires no additional connection for •
audio
unless
:
The source doesn’t output multichannel audio through its HDMI ♦
output. Make a second connection to the 6-/8-Channel Analog
Audio Inputs.
The source has an HDCP-compliant DVI output for video only. ♦
Assign a digital or analog audio input.
For any source whose best audio connection is optical or coaxial digital •
audio, assign one of the three Optical (AVR 360: two Optical Inputs) or
two Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs. Do not connect both types of digital
audio to the same source device.
You may assign one of the 2-Channel Analog Audio Inputs to a digital •
source.
You may also assign the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs, if •
available, to a digital source.
Assign one of the five 2-channel Analog Audio Inputs to an analog •
source.
NOTE
: If the source device is a digital audio recorder, it may be used with
any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Inputs and the Coaxial Digital
Audio Output. Both coaxial and optical signals are available at either digital
audio output. To make analog recordings, assign either the Analog 2 or 4
Audio Inputs to the recorder, as both have recording outputs.
