INSTALLATION
Table 2 – Recommended Source Component Connections
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.
NOTE: The AVR 147 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.
Video 1 Source
Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is
best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR.
Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio
inputs and outputs and to any available coaxial or optical digital audio
input (and corresponding digital audio output). See Figure 19. Use either
the Video 1 S-video or composite video input and output if you wish to
make recordings. If you don’t plan on recording, you may use the
Component Video 2 inputs.
