INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of

supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio

and video equipment.

AUDIO EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS

There are two formats for audio connections: digital and analog. Digital audio

signals are of higher quality, and are required for listening to sources encoded

with digital surround modes, such as Dolby Digital and DTS. There are three

types of digital audio connections: HDMI, coaxial and optical. HD-DVD(R) or

Blu-Ray(R) players with Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS-HD Master

Audio and DTS-HD require an HDMI connection for the transfer of digital

audio. Any one type of digital audio connection may be used for other source

devices, but never more than one for the same source. However, it’s okay

to make both analog and digital audio connections at the same time to the

same source.

Since the AVR is capable of processing the audio and video portions of an

HDMI signal, if your video display device has an HDMI input, you may make a

single HDMI connection from your source device (such as a DVD player) to the

AVR. In that case no separate digital audio connection is required.

We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making

connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of

the signals.

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always

a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This prevents any

possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers

that may damage them.

HDMI Connections

HDMI™ is the abbreviation for High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which

is quickly becoming the standard connection point between advanced video/

audio source products and displays, particularly for high-definition video

signals. HDMI is a digital connection, eliminating the need to convert signals

back and forth from digital to analog to deliver a higher quality signal when

used with digital sources. The signals carried on HDMI may, but do not always,

include audio, offering the possibility of a complete one-wire connection

from a source to the AVR. However, it is important to note that there are a

number of different versions of the HDMI standard in use. Before connecting

any HDMI products to your AVR, it is helpful to find out in advance their level

of HDMI connectivity.

Some source or display components in your system may use DVI (Digital Video

Interface) for digital video connections. DVI carries the same digital video

signals as HDMI but uses a larger connector and does not transport audio or

control signals. In most cases, you may mix and match DVI and HDMI digital

video connections by using optional connector adapters. Note, however,

that some DVI-equipped video displays are not compatible with the HDCP

copy protection coding that is increasingly carried with signals connected

via HDMI. If you have an HDMI source and a DVI-equipped display, you may

occasionally be unable to view a program if the display does not include

HDCP. This is not the fault of the AVR or your source; it simply indicates that

the video display is not compatible.

HDMI Input Connections

The different “Version” levels of HDMI define which type of audio signals it is

compatible with. Based on the lowest level of HDMI among your sources, the

connections to the AVR should be made as follows:

HDMI 1.0

• sources carry digital video and multichannel or 2-channel

PCM audio signals only. Connect the HDMI output of a 1.0 source to either

of the HDMI Inputs

on the AVR. If the product is a DVD-Audio player or

other source that has multichannel analog audio outputs, connect them

to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs

. With an HDMI 1.0 source, particularly

a DVD player, make certain that the menus in the source device are set

to “Bitstream Out” or “Original” so that 5.1 digital audio is available.

If you find that 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS audio is not available on the

HDMI connection, it will be necessary to make an additional connection

between the source and the AVR 260 to either the Coaxial

or Optical

Digital Inputs.

HDMI 1.1

• sources carry the multichannel digital audio output from

DVD-Audio players in addition to the digital video. If you have an HDMI

1.1-equipped product, the only connection needed for listening in

the main room is from the HDMI output of the source to either of the

HDMI Inputs

on the AVR. If the player has SACD, HD-DVD or Blu-ray

capability, you will need to connect the analog outputs of the source to

the 8-Channel Direct Inputs

HDMI 1.2

• (and higher) sources should be connected as shown above

for HDMI 1.1, except that a separate analog connection is not needed for

SACD players.

HDMI 1.3

• sources should be connected as shown above for HDMI 1.1,

except that a separate analog connection is not needed for SACD, HD-DVD

or Blu-ray players.

In addition, the AVR will convert analog video signals to the HDMI format,

upscaling to high-definition 720p or 1080p resolution. You may view the

AVR’s own on-screen display menus using the HDMI output.

HDMI cable runs are usually limited to about 3 meters. The AVR incorporates

a repeater, which allows an additional 3 meters of cable between the source

device and the video display.

If your video display or source device is not HDMI-capable, you will need

to use either a coaxial or optical digital audio connection and one of the

analog video connections (composite, S- or component video), if available, as

described in the next paragraphs.

It is not possible to feed an analog composite or S-video signal to a •

recorder when an HDMI input is in use. If an HDMI-equipped source also

has analog audio and video outputs, connect them to the Video 2 or Video

3 Video

and Audio

on the AVR.

In some instances, HDMI-equipped sources will not permit more than one •

video output at a time, and thus you cannot use the same source in the

main listening room and with the recorder or remote zone at the same

time. This is not a fault of the AVR, but rather a function of the content

protection systems that are part of the HDMI standard.
