Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various
components to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. There are
many ways that any one component can be connected,
and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your
situation. The directions given here are only one option
and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully
understand the nature of each connector and terminal as
well as those of your components and their features to
ascertain which method of connection is best.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
For DVD players or other devices that have component
video connectors, the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E has two
banks of component video input connectors (Y, P
B, PR)
for direct component video input. The TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E also has one bank of component video
output connectors for direct component video output to
the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other
display device. By sending the pure component video
signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing
that normally would degrade the image. The result is
vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike
colors and crisp details.
VIDEO IN/OUT
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear
panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs
and each one includes both composite video and S video
configurations.
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and
other video components to the video inputs. Connect
VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the
video outputs to make video recordings.
• When connecting a VCR or other video component,
make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the
same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).
• The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.
The flow of the video signals is as follows:
Signals that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT
are only output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT.
When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT
VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television
to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are
output to VIDEO and S VIDEO. Those signals are not
output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. A projector
or monitor TV should be connected to VIDEO and S
VIDEO IN.
For other models whose TV Format is PAL:
Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are
output to VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT
VIDEO. When you connect a projector or monitor TV
to COMPONENT VIDEO inputs, you do not have to
connect them to VIDEO and S VIDEO inputs.
AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are
eight audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear
panel. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type
connectors.
DIGITAL IN/OUT
On the rear panel of the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E, there
are three coaxial digital inputs, three optical digital
inputs, and two optical digital outputs. To the digital
inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players,
or other digital source components. To the digital output,
connect MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or
other similar components.
• Since an analog connection must be made when using
REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection
to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use
an optical fiber cable.
The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is equipped with a simple
Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since
both the signals from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs
are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if
the television or projector is equipped with an S video
input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors.
If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.
Using an RCA video connection cable, connect the
video input jack (composite) of the device to the MON-
ITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E. Or if the device has an S video input jack,
connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E using an S video connection
cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, con-
nect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUT-
PUT jacks on the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If a model
is for other than USA, Canada or Australia and its TV
Format is PAL, when you use the connections described
above, video signals that come in from S VIDEO and
VIDEO IN are output to the TV, projector, etc.
For USA, Canadian and Australian models:
Note that the OSD Menu data will be output to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO and S VIDEO jacks, and will
not output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jack.
