INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS System Installation After unpacking the unit, locating it in a place with adequate ventilation and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment. IMPORTANT NOTE: For your personal safety and to avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers, it is always a good practice to turn off and unplug the AVR and ALL source equipment from the AC output before making any audio or video system connections. Audio Equipment Connections We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals. 1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the CD Audio Inputs ™. NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and vari- able audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output 49 un4l7ess4y5ou f4in3d that the input to the receiver is so low 48 th4a6t the44sou4n2d is noisy, or so high that it is distorted. 35 37 39 41 34 23. 6Con3n8ect 4th0e ana3l7og P41lay/4O7ut ja5c1ks of a cassette 33 2d6ec2k5, MD3,7CD-R36or o4t0her4a6udio50recorder to the 32 2T7ap2e4Inp3u6t Jac3k5s 39 .

Your dealer or installer is a valuable resource to consult in selecting the proper cable. 9. If an external multichannel audio source with 5.1or 7.1-channel outputs such as an external digital processor/decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is used, connect the outputs of that device to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs j. Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a cable constructed of multistrand copper with a gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in specifying cable, the lower the number, the thicker the cable. Video Equipment Connections Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio components.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with the NEC and/or the applicable local building codes in your area. When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity.
