Consult your subwoofer's user manual for specific information about making connections to it. AVR Sub Woofer Pre-Out Connector Single RCA Audio Cable (not supplied) Powered Subwoofer 1. Tighten Cap Always connect the coloured (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker (usually red), and the black (­) terminal on the AVR to the (­) terminal on the speaker (usually black). IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( ­ ) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal. [. . . ] Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration. 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 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 Composite Video Cable (not supplied) 3 AVR 158 Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e. g. a Blu-ray DiscTM 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 labeled for the types of source devices you are most likely to connect. Each of your AVR's source buttons is assigned to 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 and component video input to any of the video AVR sources. Connections As you connect your 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. Input Connections and Source Buttons HDMI Devices If any of your source devices have HDMI connectors, using those connectors will provide the best possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio connections for devices you connect via HDMI cables, although you can assign one of the digital audio connectors to one of the HDMI inputs. Component Video Device If your Blu-ray Disc or DVD player does not have an HDMI connector but does have a component video connector, using the component video connector will provide superior video performance. You will also need to make an audio connection from the player to the AVR. AVR HDMI Connectors AVR DVD Component Video Connectors HDMI Cable (not supplied) Component Video Cable (not supplied) To HDMI Output To Component Video Outputs Component Video-Equipped Blu-ray Disc or DVD Player 4 HDMI-Equipped Source Device AVR 158 Composite Video Devices You will need to make composite video connections from your source devices that do not have HDMI or component video connections. You will also need to connect the source device's analog audio outputs to the AVR's corresponding analog audio connectors. AVR Composite Video Connectors Connections Analog Audio Devices Make analog audio connections from your source devices that do not have HDMI or digital audio connections.
