REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
Analog 2 and 4 Outputs: Connect either of these analog audio outputs
to the analog audio inputs of a recording device. A signal is available at these
outputs whenever an analog audio source is playing.
Zone 2 Audio Outputs (AVR 460 only): Connect these jacks to an
external amplifier to power the speakers in the remote zone of a multizone
system.
Subwoofer Output: If you have a powered subwoofer with a line-level
input, connect it to the Subwoofer Output.
The Bridge III Input: Connect the Harman Kardon
docking
station to this input for use with most docking iPod models, 4G and later (not
included). Turn the receiver off (Standby mode) when connecting The Bridge
III.
Fan Vents: This area contains vents used by the AVR 460/AVR 360’s fan
to cool the system. Maintain a clearance of at least 8 cm from the nearest
surface to avoid overheating the unit. It is normal for the fan to remain off at
most normal volume levels. An automatic temperature sensor turns the fan
on only when it is needed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never block the fan vents, as doing so could allow
the AVR to overheat to dangerous levels.
Composite 1, 2 and 3 Video Inputs: Use these jacks to connect your
video-capable source components (e.g., VCR, DVD player, cable TV box) to the
receiver. Use only one type of video connection for each source.
Composite Video 2 Output: Connect this analog video output to the
composite inputs of a recording device. A signal is available at this output
whenever an analog video source is playing.
Composite Monitor Output: If any of your sources use composite
connections, connect this monitor output to the corresponding input on your
video display. If your video display is equipped with HDMI or component
video inputs, this connection is unnecessary, as the AVR 460/AVR 360 will
convert the composite video source signal to the correct format for a single
video-cable connection to the TV.
Component Video 1/2 Inputs: If a video source has analog component
video (Y/Pb/Pr) capability, and if you are not using an HDMI connection,
connect the component video outputs of the source to one of the sets of
component video inputs. Do not make any other video connections to that
source.
Component Video Monitor Outputs: If you are using one of the
Component Video Inputs and your television or video display is component-
video-capable (but does not have HDMI), connect these jacks to the video
display.
NOTES:
Due to copy-protection restrictions, there is no output at the Component
Video Monitor Outputs for copy-protected sources.
Composite signals is upscaled to as high as 1080i and available at these •
outputs. If your video display’s best connection is component video, it is
the only video connection required from the AVR to the display.
AM and FM Antenna Terminals: Connect the included AM and FM
antennas to their respective terminals for radio reception.
Preamp Outputs (AVR 460 only): Connect these jacks to an external
amplifier if more power is desired. The Surround Back/Zone 2 Preamp Outputs
may be used with an external amplifier to power the remote zone of a
multizone system.
A-BUS Port (AVR 460 only): Use a Category 5/5e cable to connect this
port to optional A-BUS equipment for multizone operation. When the A-BUS
system is used, it is possible to have a full 7.1-channel system in the main
listening room at the same time the multizone system is in use.
A-BUS IR Output (AVR 460 only): This is an additional IR output that
may only be controlled through the A-BUS system. Use it as a dedicated
connection to sources used only with the A-BUS system.
Front, Center and Surround Speaker Outputs: Use two-
conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals to the correct
speaker. Remember to observe the correct polarity (positive and negative
connections).
Surround Back/Zone 2 Speaker Outputs: These speaker outputs
are used for the surround back channels in a 7.1-channel home theater, or
may be reassigned to a remote room for multizone operation.
Switched AC Accessory Outlet: You may plug the AC power cord of
one source device into this outlet, and it will turn on whenever you turn on
the receiver. Do not use a source that consumes more than 50 watts of power.
AC Power Input (AVR 460 only, AVR 360 has a fixed power
cord): After you have made all other connections, plug the AC power cord
into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
