INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
HDMI Output Connections
Connect the HDMI Output
X
to an HDMI input on your video display.
Thanks to the AVR 260’s video processing system, all video input signals are
converted to an HDMI output, so only one connection is required between the
AVR and your display.
Referring to drawing of the remote control on page 11,there is a section
of 7 buttons marked
C
, near the top of the remote designated “Source
Selectors”: Cable/Sat, DVD, Media Server, Radio, TV, Game and AUX. Each of
these buttons corresponds to a “source input”. The AVR’s flexible design allows
you to use almost any combination of audio and video connections for each
source device. The goal of the installation is to match up each of your source
devices, e.g., DVD player and cable television box, with the correct connectors
on the AVR.
You may connect a source device to any appropriate input connectors.Note
which audio and video inputs are used for each device in Table A5 in the
appendix. Table A1 indicates the default input-connection assignments, any
of which may be changed to match the actual connections in your system.
The precise connections to be made depend on the capabilities of the
source device and your video display (TV). Select the best audio and video
connections for each source.
Analog and Digital Input Connections
Connect the analog output of a CD player to any of the analog audio 1.
inputs.
NOTE:
When the CD player has both fixed and variable audio outputs it is
best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so
low that the sound is noisy, or so high that the signal is distorted.
Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, MD, CD-R or other 2.
audio recorder to the analog audio input jacks

on the AVR.
Connect the digital output of any digital sources such as a CD or DVD 3.
changer or player, advanced video game, a digital satellite receiver, HDTV
tuner or digital cable set-top box or the output of a compatible computer
sound card to the Optical and Coaxial Digital Inputs
RN
GH
.
We recommend connecting the coaxial digital audio output of your DVD
player to the Coax 1 Digital Audio Input
N
, since that digital input is
assigned to the DVD source by default.
If your DVD player has HDMI connection, use HDMI connection instead.
Although there is no official source on the AVR named CD, Phono or Audio,
you may assign the audio device to an available source, such as TV (if the
Cable/Sat source is in use for broadcast television), Game or AUX.
You can then add the name of the unit to the name of the assigned input, to
make it read for example: "AUX - CD". (Please note that the AVR does not have
a Phono input with RIAA for direct hook-up to a record player. You must use a
separate RIAA preamplifier between a record player and the AVR)
NOTE:
If you wish for your digital source device to be available for use by the
multiroom system, you will need to connect its analog audio outputs to the
appropriate inputs on the AVR 260, as the multiroom system is not capable of
distributing digital signals to the remote zone.
Connect the Coaxial or Optical Digital Outputs 4.

on the rear panel of
the AVR to the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc
recorder.
Assemble the AM Loop Antenna supplied with the unit as shown below. 5.
Connect it to the AM and GND screw terminals

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM (75 ohm) connection 6.

.
The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or
wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the
antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should use a
300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.
Connect the front, center and surround speaker outputs 7.
DEFO
to
the respective speakers.
To assure that all the audio signals are carried to your speakers without loss
of clarity or resolution, we suggest that you use high-quality speaker cable.
Many brands of cable are available and the choice of cable may be influen ced
by the distance between your speakers and the receiver, the type of speakers
you use, personal preferences and other factors. Your dealer or installer is a
valuable resource to consult in selecting the proper cable.
Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use a
cable constructed of fine, multistrand copper with a cross-section greater
than 2 mm².
Cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm² may be used for short runs of less than
4 m. We do not recommend that you use cables with a cross-section less than
1 mm² due to the power loss and degradation in per for mance that will occur.
Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to
indicate listing with any appropriate testing agency standards. Questions
about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a
licensed electrician who is familiar with the applicable local building codes in
your area.
