17ENGLISHCONNECTIONSVideo connectionsMany sources output both audio and video signals (e.g., Blu-ray Disc or DVDplayer, cable television box, HDTV tuner, satellite box, VCR, DVR). In additionto the audio connection, make one type of video connection for each of thesesources (only one at a time for any source).Digital VideoIf you have already connected a source device to one of the HDMI inputs, youhave automatically made a video connection, as the HDMI signal includesboth digital audio and video components.Analog VideoThere are two types of analog video connections: composite video andcomponent video.Composite video is the basic connection most commonly available. The jack isusually color-coded yellow, and looks like an analog audio jack. Do not pluga composite video cable into an analog or coaxial digital audio jack, or viceversa. Both the chrominance (color) and luminance (intensity) components ofthe video signal are transmitted using a single cable. See Figure 10.Compositevideo cableFigure 10 – Composite VideoComponent video separates the video signal into three components – oneluminance (“Y”) and two sub-sampled color signals (“Pb” and “Pr”) – that aretransmitted using three separate cables. See Figure 11.Componentvideo cableY GreenPb BluePr RedFigure 11 – Component VideoIf it’s available on your video display, an HDMI connection is recommendedas the best quality connection, followed by component video and thencomposite video.NOTES:HDCP-copy-protected sources are not available at the Component VideoMonitor Outputs.Standard and high-definition analog video signals may be upscaled•to 1080i resolution for the Component Video Monitor Outputs. Forimproved video performance, consider upgrading to an HDMI-capablevideo display with 1080p resolution.antennaSThe AVR 460/AVR 360 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AMantennas.The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. See Figure 12.Figure 12 – FM AntennaThe AM loop antenna needs to be assembled. Connect the two leads to thespring terminals on the receiver. The AM antenna leads have no polarity, andyou may connect them to either terminal. See Figure 13.Figure 13 – AM AntennauSB portThe USB Port on the AVR is used only for software upgrades. If an upgradefor the receiver’s operating system is released in the future, it may bedownloaded to the AVR using this port. Complete instructions will beprovided at that time.
