Preparing Your Receiver
Note: If you have a turntable with magnetic cartridge and want to con-
nect it to the STAV-3790, you need to connect a pre-amplifier between
the turntable and the receiver. Some turntables have a switchable built-
in amplifier: if your turntable has this feature, switch it to preamp
mode. Connect the output of the pre-amplifier to any unused audio
input jacks (
MD/TAPE1
,
CD
,
TAPE2 MONITOR
,
TV/SAT
,
DVD/LD
, or
VCR
).
Connecting Video Sources
If you connect three video sources, such as VCRs, laser disc (LD) play-
ers, digital video disc (DVD) players, or satellite receivers to your
receiver, you can use the receiver to select each video source. You can
also use the receiver to record from these video sources to the source
connected to
VCR
.
Connect phono cables from each video source’s audio outputs to the
receiver’s
VCR IN
,
DVD/LD IN
, or
TV/SAT IN
jacks. Then connect phono cables
from the receiver’s
VCR
OUT
jacks to the source’s audio input jacks.
Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the
receiver’s
VCR VIDEO IN
,
DVD/LD VIDEO IN
, or
TV/SAT VIDEO IN
jacks. Then con-
nect video cables from the receiver’s
VCR VIDEO OUT
jack to the source’s
video input.
You can also use the fiber optic cable (not supplied) or digital coaxial
cable (not supplied) to connect the digital output jack of the DVD player
to the
DIGITAL IN OPT1, 2
or
COAX
jack. See “Digital Connections” on
Page 12.
