8 REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
• Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the line-
level input of a powered subwoofer. If an external sub-
woofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the sub-
woofer amplifier input.
ª Front Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs
to the matching + or – terminals on your left and right
speakers. When making speaker connections always
make certain to maintain correct polarity by connecting
the color-coded (white for front left and red for front
right) (+) terminals on the AVR 230 to the red (+)
terminals on the speakers and the black (–) terminals
on the AVR 230 to the black (–) terminals on the
speakers. See page 13 for more information on
speaker polarity.
‚ Surround Back Speaker Outputs: These
speaker terminals are normally used to power the sur-
round back speaker in a 6.1-channel system.
⁄ Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these out-
puts to the matching + and – terminals on your sur-
round channel speakers. In conformance with the CEA
color-code specification, the blue terminal is the posi-
tive, or “+,” terminal that should be connected to the
red (+) terminal on the Surround Left speaker with
older color-coding, while the gray terminal should be
connected to the red (+) terminal on the Surround
Right speaker with the older color-coding. Connect the
black (–) terminal on the AVR to the matching black
negative (–) terminals for each surround speaker. (See
page 13 for more information on speaker polarity.)
¤ Center Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs
to the matching + and – terminals on your center
channel speaker. In conformance with the CEA
color-code specification, the green terminal is the
positive, or “+,” terminal that should be connected to
the red (+) terminal on speakers with the older color-
coding. Connect the black (–) terminal on the AVR to
the black (–) terminal on your speaker. (See page 13
for more information on speaker polarity.)
‹ Video 2 Component Video Inputs: Connect the
Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of an HDTV set-top
converter, satellite receiver or other video source
device with component video outputs to these jacks.
› DVD Component Video Inputs: Connect the
Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of a DVD player to
these jacks.
fi Component Video Monitor Outputs: Connect
these outputs to the component video inputs of a
video projector or monitor. When a source connected
to one of the
Component Video Inputs ‹› is
selected, the signal will be sent to these jacks.
fl AC Power Cord: Connect the AC power cord to a
non-switched AC wall outlet.
‡ Switched AC Accessory Outlet: These outlets
may be used to power any device you wish to have
turned on when the AVR 230 is turned on.
° Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet: This outlet
may be used to power any AC device. The power will
remain on at this outlet regardless of whether the
AVR 230 is on or off.
NOTE: The total power consumption of all devices
connected to the accessory outlets should not exceed
100 watts.
· Optical Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack
to the optical digital input connector on a CD-R/RW,
MiniDisc or other digital recorder.
a Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack
to the coaxial digital input of a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or
other digital recorder.
b S-Video Monitor Output: If any of the input
sources used in your system have S-Video connec-
tions to the AVR, connect this jack to the S-Video input
on your television, projector or other video display.
c Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the coax
digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
LD
player
or CD player to these jacks. The signal may be a
Dolby Digital signal, DTS signal or a standard PCM digital
source. Do not connect the RF digital output of an LD
player to these jacks.
d DVD S-Video Input: Connect the S-Video output
of a DVD player or other video source to this jack.
e Video 1 S-Video Input: If the product connected to
the
Video 1 Audio Inputs has S-Video capability,
connect this jack to the PLAY/OUT S-Video jack on
that unit and then make certain that the
S-Video
Monitor Output
b is connected as described above.
f Optical Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the optical
digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, LD
player or CD
player to these jacks. The signal may be a
Dolby Digital signal, a DTS signal or a standard PCM
digital source.
g Video 1 S-Video Output: If the product connected
to the
Video 1 Audio/Video Outputs has S-Video
capability, connect this jack to the REC/IN S-Video jack
on that unit.
h Video 2 S-Video Input: If the product connected
to the
Video 2 Audio/Video Inputs has S-Video
capability, connect this jack to the PLAY/OUT S-Video
jack on that unit and then make certain that the
S-Video Monitor Output b is connected as
described above.
i Video 2 S-Video Output: If the product con-
nected to the
Video 2 Audio/Video Outputs
has S-Video capability, connect this jack to the
REC/IN S-Video jack on that unit.
j 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs: These jacks are
used for connection to source devices such as DVD-
Audio or SACD players with discrete analog outputs.
Depending on the source device in use, all eight jacks
may be used, though in many cases only connections
to the front left/right, center, surround left/right and
LFE (subwoofer input) jacks will be used for standard
5.1 audio signals.
k Video 3 S-Video Input: If the product connected
to the
Video 3 Audio/Video Inputs has S-Video
capability, connect this jack to the PLAY/OUT S-Video
jack on that unit and then make certain that the
S-Video Monitor Output b is connected as
described above.
Video Monitor Output: Connect this jack to the
composite video input of a TV monitor or video projec-
tor to view the on-screen menus and the output of a
standard video source.
DVD Audio/Video Inputs: Connect the composite
video and L/R analog audio outputs of a DVD player or
other video source to these jacks.
Video 1 Audio/Video Inputs: Connect the com-
posite or Video and L/R analog audio PLAY/OUT jacks
of a VCR or other video source to these jacks.
Video 1 Audio/Video Outputs: Connect the
composite or Video and L/R analog audio REC/IN
jacks of a VCR or other video recording device such
as a DVD recorder or PVR to these jacks.
Video 2 Audio/Video Inputs: Connect the com-
posite or Video and L/R analog audio PLAY/OUT jacks
of a VCR or other video source to these jacks.
