Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting VCRs or DVRs
Connect the video out of your VCR/DVR using either S video or composite video cords, depending on how
you connected the receiver to your TV (see p.16). Use analog audio cords for the audio signal. To record,
you also need to connect a set of audio/video outputs from the receiver to the audio/video inputs on your
VCR/DVR. Note that to record video from a source component, the video connection from the source to
the receiver and from the receiver to the recorder must be the same type.
Be careful! For portable DVD players you will need a
specialized optical cord (for the audio) that has a mini
optical plug on one end and a regular optical plug on
the other.
Connecting a Video Component to the Front Panel
Connect a portable DVD player, video game console or any video component to the front panel as show
here. Front video connections are accessed via the front panel input selector as "VIDEO."
memo
You cannot assign the name of the digital input on the front panel. It will always
appear as "VIDEO" in the receiver's display. See page 88 for more information on
"Assigning the Digital Inputs".
