Making Connections

Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices

Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray

Disc™ or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. 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 not labeled for speciﬁc types of source devices; they are labeled

numerically, so you can connect your devices according to your individual system’s

make-up.

Your AVR’s various source buttons have default assignments to different input connectors

(listed in the “Default Connector(s)” column of the table below). For ease of setup, you

should connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding default

source button is assigned (e.g., connect your Blu-ray Disc player to HDMI 1).

However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the

input connections to any of the Source Buttons listed in the table according to where you

actually connect each of your source devices.

As you connect your various source devices, ﬁll out the “Connected Component” column

in the table – it will make it easier for you to assign the various source buttons after

you have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the

source-button assignments and ﬁll in the “Assigned Connector(s)” column later in the

setup process.)

Note: You cannot assign connectors to the Network, Radio and USB source buttons.
