Connecting a satellite/cable receiver or
other set-top box
Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV
tuners are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.
1 Connect the audio/video outputs on the set-top
box to the
TV SAT
AUDIO
and
VIDEO
inputs.
Connect using a stereo RCA/phono jack cable and a
video cable.
2 Connect an optical-type
1
digital audio output from
your set-top box to the
OPTICAL IN 1
(
TV SAT
) input.
2
Use an optical cable for the connection.
Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR
and other video sources
This receiver has two sets of audio/video inputs and
outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video
devices, including DVD/HDD recorders and VCRs.
1 Connect the audio/video outputs of the video
player/recorder to the
DVR1
AUDIO
and
VIDEO
inputs.
Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio
connection and a video cable for the video connection.
• For a second recorder, use the DVR2 IN inputs.
2 If the device can record, connect the
DVR1
AUDIO
and
VIDEO
outputs to the recorder’s audio/video
inputs.
Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio
connection and a video cable for the video connection.
• For a second recorder, use the DVR2 OUT outputs.
Note
1 If your set-top box only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable.
When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Setup menu on page 67).
2 If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
