AVR 1565/AVR 1566 Making Connections CAUTION: Before making any connections to the AVR, ensure that the AVR's AC cord is unplugged from the AVR and the AC outlet. Making connections with the AVR plugged in and turned on could damage the speakers. Making Connections Connect Your TV or Video Display HDMI Monitor Out connector If your TV has an HDMI connector and you have HDMI or component video source devices, use an HDMI cable (not included) to connect your TV to the AVR's HDMI Monitor Out connector. It will provide the best possible picture quality. AVR HDMI Monitor Out Connector Connect Your Speakers After you have placed your loudspeakers in the room as explained in Place Your Speakers, on page 10, connect each speaker to its color-coded terminal on the AVR as explained in Speaker Connections, on page 11. Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration. TV HDMI Cable (not supplied) Composite Video Monitor Out connector If your TV does not have an HDMI connector, or if your TV does have an HDMI connector but you are connecting some source devices with only composite video connectors, use a composite video cable (not included) to connect the AVR's Composite Monitor Out connector to your TV's composite video connector. AVR Composite Monitor Out Connector TV C FL FR Composite Video Cable (not supplied) Connect Your Source Devices Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ or DVD player, or a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner. Your AVR has several different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, component video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio. The connectors are labeled for the types of source devices you are most likely to connect. SL SR Each of your AVR's source buttons is assigned to an HDMI connector or an analog audio input connector (listed in the "AVR Source Button/Analog Audio Connector" column of the table below). To provide you flexibility for connecting and configuring your system, we have designed the AVR so that you can assign the digital audio inputs to any of the video AVR sources. As you connect your various source components, fill out the "Source Device Connected" column in the following table - it will make it easier for you to assign the digital audio input connectors and component video connector later in the setup process.
