Types of Home Theater System Connections

Radio Connections

your Avr uses separate terminals for the included fm and Am antennas. the fm antenna

uses a 75-ohm f-connector.

the Am antenna connector uses spring-clip terminals. After assembling the antenna as

shown below, press the levers to open the connectors, insert the bare wires into the

openings, and release the levers to secure the wires. the antenna wires are not polarized,

so you can insert either wire into either connector.

SIRIUS Satellite Radio

to enjoy SIrIuS satellite radio, purchase a SIrIuSconnect tuner module and a subscription

to the SIrIuS service. visit www.sirius.com for information on SIrIuSconnect tuner

modules. the Siriusconnect modules include an eight-pin dIn cable for connection to

the eight-pin jack on the Avr, allowing you to control the tuner module via the Avr.

Although you may also use a “plug-and-play” tuner module equipped with standard

audio connections, you will not be able to use the Avr to control the SIrIuS tuner.

Network Connector

the Avr’s network connector allows you to enjoy Internet radio or content from other

dlnA-compatible devices that are connected to the same network. use a cat. 5 or

cat. 5e cable to connect the Avr’s rJ-45 connector to your home network.

USB Port

the uSb port on your Avr is used for firmware upgrades. If an upgrade for the Avr’s

operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it to the Avr using

this port. complete instructions will be provided at that time.
In addition to performing firmware upgrades, the Avr 3650/Avr 365 can play mp3 and

wmA audio files from a uSb device inserted into the uSb port. Insert the device into the

uSb port with the device’s plug oriented so it fits all the way into the port. you may insert

or remove the device at any time – there is no installation or ejection procedure.

IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to the AVR’s USB

port, or you may damage both the AVR and the other device.

RS-232 Connector

your Avr’s rS-232 serial port may be connected to an external control system to allow

it to transmit control commands to the Avr. the port is bidirectional so that the Avr

can transmit status updates to the control device. connecting and using the rS-232

port requires considerable technical knowledge and is best left to a professional custom

installer.
