Connecting an HDD/DVD recorder, Blu-ray Disc recorder and other
video sources
This receiver has audio/video inputs and outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital
video recorders, including HDD/DVD recorders and Blu-ray Disc recorders.
Only the signals that are input to the VIDEO IN terminal can be output from the VIDEO OUT
terminal.
Audio signals that are input through the digital terminal will not be output from the analog
terminal.
Note
In order to listen to the audio from the source component that is connected to this receiver
using an optical cable, first, switch to the DVR/BDR input, then press SIGNAL SEL to
choose the audio signal O2 (OPTICAL2) (see Selecting the audio input signal on page 21).
Using the component video jacks
Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video.
A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video,
which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and
source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.
• For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your component with no HDMI terminal on
page 15.
Important
If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you
must also have your TV connected to this receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks.
• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected.
This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect according to the following defaults:
-
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1: DVD
-
COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2: DVR/BDR
See The Input Assign menu on page 32 for more on this.
