18AVR Making ConnectionsConnect Your Audio and Video Source DevicesSource devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-rayDisc™ or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several differenttypes of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, componentvideo, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio.The connectors are not labeled for specific types of source devices; they are labelednumerically, so you can connect your devices according to your individual system’smake-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, youshould connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding defaultsource 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 theinput connections to any of the Source Buttons listed in the table according to where youactually connect each of your source devices.As you connect your various source devices, fill out the “Connected Component” columnin the table – it will make it easier for you to assign the various source buttons afteryou have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to thesource-button assignments and fill in the “Assigned Connector(s)” column later in thesetup process.)Note: You cannot assign connectors to the Network, Radio and USB source buttons.Source Button Default Connector(s) Assigned Connector(s) Connected DeviceDisc HDMI 1Cable/Sat HDMI 2Game HDMI 3Media Server HDMI 4DVR HDMI 5TV None/Optical Digital Audio 1Aux HDMI FrontA (red) HDMI 6B (green) HDMI 7C (yellow) Composite Video 1/Analog Audio 1D (blue) Composite Video 2/Analog Audio 2Monitor Output Connector Connected DeviceHDMI Out 1HDMI Out 2(AVR 3700/AVR 370 only)Composite Video Monitor OutRecord Output Connector Connected DeviceAnalog Audio Rec OutSource Buttons and Assigned Connectors
