9REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS¡ AM Antenna: Connect the AM loopantenna supplied with the receiver to theseterminals. If an external AM antenna isused, make connections to the AM andGND terminals in accordance with theinstructions supplied with the antenna.™ FM Antenna: Connect the suppliedindoor (or an optional external) FM antennato this terminal.£ Preamp Outputs: Connect thesejacks to an optional, external poweramplifier for applications where higherpower is desired.¢ Subwoofer Output: Connect thisjack to the line-level input of a poweredsubwoofer. If an external subwooferamplifier is used, connect this jack to thesubwoofer amplifier input.∞ Surround Speaker Outputs:Connect these outputs to the matching +and – terminals on your surround channelspeakers. In conformance with the newCEA color-code specification, the blue ter-minal is the positive, or “+,” terminal thatshould be connected to the red (+) termi-nal on the Surround Left speaker witholder color-coding, while the gray termi-nal should be connected to the red (+) ter-minal on the Surround Right speaker withthe older color-coding. Connect the black(–) terminal on the AVR580 to the match-ing black negative (–) terminals for eachsurround speaker. (See page 17 for moreinformation on speaker polarity.)§ Front Speaker Outputs: Connectthese outputs to the matching + or – ter-minals on your left and right speakers.When making speaker connectionsalways make certain to maintain correctpolarity by connecting the color-coded(white for front left and red for front right)¡ AM Antenna™ FM Antenna£ Preamp Outputs¢ Subwoofer Output∞ Surround Speaker Outputs§ Front Speaker Outputs¶ Fan Vents• Center Speaker Outputsª Surround Back/Multiroom SpeakerOutputs‚ AC Power Cord Jack⁄ Region Selector¤ Video Monitor Outputs‹ DVD Video Inputs› Video 1 Video Inputsfi Video 1 Video Outputsfl Video 2 Video Inputs‡ Video 2 Video Outputs° Video 3 Video Inputs· Component Video Monitor Outputsa Component Video 1 Inputsb Component Video 2 Inputsc RS-232 Portd Multiroom IR Inpute Remote IR Inputf Remote IR Outputg Coaxial Digital Audio Outputh Multiroom Audio Outputsi Optical Digital Audio Outputj CD Audio Inputsk DVD Audio Inputs Optical Digital Audio Inputs Tape Inputs Tape Outputs Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs Video 1 Audio Inputs Video 1 Audio Outputs Video 2 Audio Inputs 8-Channel Direct InputsVideo 2 Audio OutputsVideo 3 Audio InputsNOTE: To assist in making the correctconnections for multichannel input, out-put and speaker connections, all connec-tion jacks and terminals are color-codedin conformance with the latest CEA stan-dards as follows:Front Left: WhiteFront Right: RedCenter: GreenSurround Left: BlueSurround Right: GraySurround Back Left: BrownSurround Back Right: TanSubwoofer: PurpleDigital Audio: OrangeComposite Video: YellowComponent Video “Y”: GreenComponent Video “Pr”: RedComponent Video “Pb”: Blue
