INSTALLATION
NOTES:
• Refer to Table A2 in the appendix for the default audio and
video input assignments for each source.You may assign
any audio and any video input to any source, as long as the
assignments match the physical connections.
• To make recordings from a DVD, use an S-video or composite
video input, and an Analog Audio input in addition to any other
connections.The AVR cannot make recordings from HDMI or
component video sources, and digital audio sources may only
be recorded in two channels.
Connect an Audio/Video Recorder (PVD, DVR or TiVo)
HDMI Video: Connect the recorder as shown in Figure 24:
• Connect the recorder’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1, 2 or 3 Input
for playback only.
• To make recordings, follow the instructions below for Composite/
S-video recorders.
Figure 24 – Connecting an HDMI-Equipped Recorder
Component Video: If the recorder and the TV both have component
video connectors, connect the recorder as shown in Figure 25:
• Connect the recorder’s component video output to the Component
Video 1, 2 or 3 Input for playback only.
• Connect the recorder’s digital audio output to a Coaxial or Optical
Input.
• Follow the instructions below for Composite/S-Video recorders.
Figure 25 – Connecting a Component-Video-Equipped Recorder
Composite/S-Video: If the best video connection common to
both the recorder and the TV is either S-video or composite video, and
to make recordings, follow these steps, using only one type of video
connection (see Figure 26):
• Connect the recorder’s S-video or composite video output to the
Video 2 S-Video or Composite Video Input.
• Connect the recorder’s S-video or composite video input to the
Video 2 S-Video or Composite Video Output.
• Connect the recorder’s analog audio outputs to the Analog 4
Audio Inputs.
• Connect the recorder’s analog audio inputs to the Analog 4
Audio Outputs.

• To make 2-channel digital audio recordings, connect the recorder’s
digital audio output to one of the Optical or Coaxial Inputs, and con-
nect the Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the recorder’s coaxial input.
The AVR will convert an optical digital audio input signal to the proper
format for recording via the Coaxial Digital Audio Output. See Figure 26.
Connect a Cable TV, Satellite, HDTV or Other Set-Top Box
NOTE: If you use a direct cable connection to your TV, or an
antenna connection with the TV’s internal tuner, connect either
the TV’s digital audio output (if available) or its analog audio
outputs to the AVR. See Step Five for information on connecting
the receiver’s video monitor outputs to the television.
HDMI Video: If the set-top box and the TV both have an HDMI
connector, connect the set-top box as shown in Figure 24:
• Connect the set-top’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1, 2 or 3 Input.
Component Video: If the set-top box and the TV both have compo-
nent video connectors, connect the set-top box as shown in Figure 25:
• Connect the set-top’s component video output to the Component
Video 1, 2 or 3 Input.
• Connect the set-top’s digital audio output to one of the Coaxial or
Optical Inputs.
