Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Video Sources
If you connect two video sources such as VCRs, laser disc (LD) players, or dig-
ital video disc (DVD) players to your receiver, you can use the receiver to switch
between viewing the sources. You can also use the receiver to easily record
from the video sources to the source connected to
VCR/TAPE 1
.
Connect phono cables from a VCR’s audio outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
or
LD/DVD IN
(audio) jacks. Then connect phono cables from the receiver’s
VCR
/
TAPE 1
OUT
(audio) jacks to the VCR’s audio input jacks.
Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
or
LD/DVD VIDEO IN
jacks. Then connect video cables from the
receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT
jack to the VCR’s video input.
Connecting a Video Monitor
The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the
VIDEO OUT
terminal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
or
LD/DVD
input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s
VIDEO OUT TO
MONITOR TV
jack to the monitor’s video input.
Note:
If your VCR is monaural, use a Y-
adapter (available at your local
RadioShack store) to connect the VCR’s
audio output to both the
L
and
R
audio
inputs on the receiver.
