INSTALLATION
Table 2 – Recommended Source Component Connections
NOTE: The AVR 146 is equipped with a total of six digital audio
inputs, four on the rear panel (Coaxial 1 and 2, Optical 1 and 2)
and two on the front panel (Coaxial 3 and Optical 3), which may
be assigned to any of the eight source inputs (DVD, Video 1
through 3, HDMI 1 and 2, CD and Tape). We recommend
certain digital audio connections simply because, as reflected in
Table A1 of the Appendix, those digital audio inputs are assigned to those sources by default at the factory. But any digital audio
input may be reassigned to any source. Since you may not be
using all eight source inputs, you may reassign a digital audio
input that is recommended for a source you aren’t using to
another device. Table 2 is a guideline; you may need to make
adjustments to fit your system.
NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections
named for that source. For example, you might connect your
DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1
digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as
“DVD”, and in Step Five of the Initial Setup section you will
program the receiver so that these connections are assigned to
the DVD source. When you select “DVD” as your source using
the front panel or the remote, the correct connections for your
DVD player will be used.
We recommend connecting your various sources using the connections
shown in Table 2 below in order to simplify programming your receiver
and remote control. However, you may connect any device to any
source input.
