CONNECTIONS
Figure 10 – Composite Video
Component video separates the video signal into three compo-
nents – one luminance (“Y”) and two sub-sampled color signals
(“Pb” and “Pr”) – that are transmitted using three separate cables.
See Figure 11.
Figure 11 – Component Video
If it’s available on your video display, an HDMI connection is recom-
mended as the best quality connection, followed by component
video, and then composite video.
NOTES:
• HDCP-copy-protected sources are not available at the
Component Video Monitor Outputs.
• Standard and high-definition analog video signals may
be upscaled to 1080i resolution for the Component Video
Monitor Outputs. For improved video performance, consider
upgrading to an HDMI-capable video display with 1080p
resolution.
ANTENNAS
The AVR 2600 uses separate terminals for the included FM and AM
antennas.
The FM antenna uses a 75-ohm F-connector. See Figure 12.
Figure 12 – FM Antenna
The AM loop antenna needs to be assembled. Connect the two leads
to the spring terminals on the receiver. The AM antenna leads have
no polarity, and you may connect them to either terminal. See
Figure 13.

To enjoy SIRIUS satellite radio, purchase a SIRIUS-Ready tuner module
and a subscription to the SIRIUS service. Visit www.sirius.com
for information on SIRIUS-Ready tuner modules. The AVR 2600 is
compatible with the SiriusConnect SC-H1 tuner module, using the
8-pin DIN cable included with the module, and it provides power for
the tuner module, so that it is not necessary to use the AC adapter
supplied with the tuner module. Although you may use a module
with standard audio connections, labeled for “car and home use,”
you will not be able to enjoy the AVR 2600’s ease of control.
USB PORT
The USB Port on the AVR 2600 is used only for software upgrades.
If an upgrade for the receiver’s operating system is released in the
future, it may be downloaded to the AVR using this port. Complete
instructions will be provided at that time.
