REAR-PANEL AUDIO CONNECTIONS å 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 7300 to the red (+) terminals on the speakers and the black (-) terminals on the AVR 7300 to the black (-) terminals on the speakers. See page 18 for more information on speaker polarity. ∫ Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching + and - terminals on your surround channel speakers. In conformance with the CEA colorcode specification, the blue terminal is the positive (+) 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 18 for more information on speaker polarity. ç Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs: These speaker terminals are normally used to power the surround back left/surround back right speakers in a 7.1channel system. However, they may also be used to power the speakers in a second zone, which will receive the output selected for a multiroom system. To change the output fed to these terminals from the default of the Surround Back speakers to the Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu of the OSD system. See page 44 for more information on configuring this speaker output. In normal surround system use, the brown and black terminals are the surround back left channel positive (+) and negative (-) connections and the tan and black terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. For multiroom use, connect the brown and black SBL terminals to the red and black connections on the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on the right remote zone speaker. ∂ Tape Outputs: Connect these jacks to the Record/Input jacks of an audio recorder. é Tape Inputs: Connect these jacks to the Play/Oout jacks of an audio recorder. ƒ CD Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks to the left/right analog audio output of a compact disc player or CD changer or other audio source. © DVD Audio Inputs: Connect the left/right analog audio jacks of a DVD player or other video source to these jacks. When digital audio and/or component video outputs are used with a DVD player and the AVR 7300, the default connection points are the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio Input † and the DVD Component Video Inputs F. If other jacks are used to connect a DVD player, the AVR may be reconfigured to accommodate the hookup by using the IN/OUT SETUP menu as shown on page 23. ˙ Video 4 Audio Inputs: Connect the left/right analog audio outputs of a video device to these jacks. The AVR 7300's remote control has a satellite receiver as the default for this input, but you may connect any video source such as a VCR, HDTV receiver, personal video recorder, or other device to these inputs. Note that if the source device offers either digital audio or component video capability, those connections must be made separately, and the AVR 7300 configured accordingly. (See page 23 for more information on configuring an input for various source options.) î Video 3 Audio Inputs: Connect the left/right analog audio outputs of a video device to these jacks. The AVR 7300's remote control has a cable set-top as the default for this input, but you may connect any video source such as a VCR, HDTV or satellite receiver, personal video recorder, or other device to these inputs. Note that if the source device offers either digital audio or component video capability, those connections must be made separately, and the AVR 7300 configured accordingly. (See page 23 for more information on configuring an input for various source options.) ∆ Video 2 Audio Outputs: Connect the left/right analog audio RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording device such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder to these jacks. ˚ Video 2 Audio Inputs: Connect the left/right analog audio PLAY/OUT jacks of a video recording device such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder to these jacks. The AVR 7300's remote control has a "TV" as the default for this input, but you may connect any video source such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top box, personal video recorder, or other device to these inputs. Note that if the source device offers either digital audio or component video capability, those connections must be made separately, and the AVR 7300 configured accordingly. (See page 23 for more information on configuring an input for various source options.) ¬ Preamp Outputs: Connect these jacks to an optional, external power amplifier for applications where higher power is desired. µ Subwoofer Output: Connect this jack to the linelevel input of a powered subwoofer. If an external subwoofer amplifier is used, connect this jack to the subwoofer amplifier input. ñ Video 1 Audio Inputs: Connect the left/right analog audio PLAY/OUT jacks of a video recording device such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder to these jacks. ø Multiroom Audio Outputs: Connect these jacks to the optional external audio power amplifier that delivers the source selected for multizone distribution. π Video 1 Audio Outputs: Connect the left/right analog audio RECORD/IN jacks of a video recording device such as a VCR, DVD-recorder or personal video recorder to these jacks. The AVR 7300's remote control has a VCR as the default for this input, but you may connect any video source such as a VCR, HDTV or cable set-top box, personal video recorder, or other device to these inputs. Note that if the source device offers either digital audio or component video capability, those connections must be made separately, and the AVR 7300 configured accordingly. (See page 23 for more information on configuring an input for various source options.) œ Optical Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack to the optical digital input connector on a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other compatible digital recorder. ® Optical Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the optical digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, 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. ß Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connect this jack to the coaxial digital input of a CD-R/RW, MiniDisc or other compatible digital recorder. † Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs: Connect the coax digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver, the S/P-DIF output of a compatible computer sound card playing MP3 files or streams, 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. ü8-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. √ 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 (+) 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 negative (-) terminal on your speaker. (See page 18 for more information on speaker polarity.) 10 REAR-PANEL AUDIO CONNECTIONS
