If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks,
it is recommended that it be connected to the AVR-800
or directly to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO
cable. S-Video cables provide better picture clarity and
resolution. If the video component is not equipped with
an S-VI DEO jack, use a conventional RCA to RCA
composite cable to connect to the AVR-800 or directly
to the television.
The above illustration shows how to connect video
components to the AVR-800.
Note:
When connection more than one video component to the
AVR-800 (ie: VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use
either all S-Video cables or all RCA to RCA composite
cables. This allows both video signals (DVD and VCR) to
be sent through the AVR-800 to the TV monitor using
just one video input on the TV (S-Video or RCA).
Regardless of the video component being played DVD or
VCR, the picture will always appear on the same video
input of the monitor.
When connecting video components such as DVD
players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and televisions,
you can use different types of cables depending on how
the video component is equipped.
Note:
When an optical cable is used, remove the protection
caps from the component and AVR-800 before
attempting to insert the optical cable. If not using an
optical cable or if the cable is removed, always re-install
the protection caps to prevent dirt and dust from
entering the inputs. If using a coaxial digital cable, leave
the protection caps in both the video component and
AVR-800.

Video connections:
If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect different video components to the AVR-800, you
must also use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect the TV monitor to the AVR-800.
For example, if you connect a DVD player to the AVR-800
using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA to RCA
composite cable, you must also connect the TV to the
AVR-800 using both types of cables. This requires an S-
Video cable from the S-Video monitor out jack on the AVR-
800 to an S-Video input on the TV (ie. Video 1). In addition,
you must use an RCA composite cable from the composite
video monitor out jack on the AVR-800 to an RCA
composite video input on the TV but not the same input used
for the S-Video cable(ie: Video 2). Using this type of dual
cable video connection. you will need to switch the TV
video input source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending
on the video source being played-TV, DVD or VCR.
Audio connections:
Some video components are equipped with special
digital audio outputs (ie: DVD players). If your video
component is equipped with a digital audio output, it is
recommended that you connect to the AVR-800 using a
digital cable. Digital audio cables are required to use the
DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound modes. If you do
not use digital connections, the AVR-800 will only
operate in Dolby Pro LogicII, Dolby 3 Stereo, Hall, Theater
and Stadium surround modes.
There are two types of digital cables - coaxial (75 ohm) and
optical. The
AVR-800
i s equipped with both types of digital
inputs. These inputs are labeled DIGITAL/DTS/PCM on the
rear of the unit. Connect the video component outputs to any
one of the three digital inputs on the
AVR-800.
If the video component is not equipped with a digital output,
use a dual RCA to RCA composite audio cable to connect to
the
AVR-800.
