Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Video Sources
If you connect two or more video sources, such as VCRs or laser disc players,
to your receiver, you can use the receiver to select each video source. You can
also use the receiver to easily record from the video sources to the source con-
nected to
VCR/TAPE 1
.
Connect phono cables from each video source’s audio outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
or
LD/SAT
IN
(audio) jacks. Then connect phono cables from the re-
ceiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
OUT
(audio) jacks to the source’s audio input jacks.
Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO IN
or
LD/SAT VIDEO IN
jacks. Then connect video cables from the
receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT
jack to the VCR’s video input.
You can connect a third video source to the
DVD/TV IN
jacks. Connect the
source’s video output to the receiver’s
DVD/TV VIDEO IN
jack, and the source’s au-
dio outputs to the receiver’s
DVD/TV IN
(audio) jacks.
The front panel
VIDEO L AUDIO R
jacks accept another audio/video device. These
jacks are convenient for temporarily connecting another video source to the re-
ceiver, such as a camcorder.
Connecting a Video Monitor
The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the
VIDEO OUT
ter-
minal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
,
LD/SAT
,
or
DVD/TV
input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s
VIDEO OUT TO
MONITOR TV
jack to the monitor’s video input.
