English AVR Types of Home Theater System Connections Digital Audio Connections - Coaxial Coaxial digital audio jacks are usually color-coded in orange. Although they look like standard RCA-type analog jacks, you should not connect coaxial digital audio outputs to analog inputs or vice versa. Digital Audio Connections - Optical Optical digital audio connectors are normally covered by a shutter to protect them from dust. The shutter opens as the cable is inserted. Optical input connectors are color-coded using a black shutter. Video Connections Many source devices output both audio and video signals (e.g., Blu-ray Disc, DVD player, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR). In addition to an audio connection as described above, make a video connection for each of these source devices. Make only one type of video connection for each device. Digital Video Connections If you have already connected a source device to one of the AVR's HDMI input connectors, you have automatically made a video connection for that device, since the HDMI cable carries both digital audio and digital video signals. Analog Video Connections - Composite Video Composite video is the most commonly available analog video connection. Both the chrominance (color) and luminance (intensity) components of the video signal are transmitted using a single cable. The jack is usually color-coded yellow and looks like an analog audio jack. Do not connect a composite video jack to an analog audio or coaxial digital audio jack, or vice versa. Analog Audio Connections Two-channel analog connections require a stereo audio cable, with one connector for the left channel (white) and one for the right channel (red). These two connectors are attached to each other. Radio Connections Your AVR uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM antennas. The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. For source devices that have both digital and analog audio outputs, you may make both connections. If you are going to be setting up a multizone system (AVR 1710/AVR 171 only), remember that Zone 2 is an audio-only zone (the AVR does not have a Zone 2 video output). Therefore, make analog connections for any audio source devices (such as a CD changer) that you will want available for listening in Zone 2 at all times. The AM antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna as shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into the openings, and release the levers to secure the wires. The antenna wires are not polarized, so you can insert either wire into either connector. 13
