Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder
This receiver has three sets of audio/video inputs and
outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video
recorders, including VCRs, DVD-recorders and HDD
recorders.
1 Connect a set of audio/video outputs on the
recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO inputs
on this receiver.
• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the
audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the
video connection.
• For a second and third recorder, use the VCR2 IN and
VCR3 IN inputs.
2 Connect a set of audio/video inputs on the
recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO outputs
on this receiver.
• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the
audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the
video connection.
• For a second and third recorder, use the VCR2 and
VCR3 outputs.
3 Connect an optical digital audio output from the
recorder to the DIGITAL 5 (DVR/VCR1) input on this
receiver.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.
• If your recorder 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 recorder to (see also
Assigning the digital inputs on page 90).
• The digital outputs from other recorders can be
connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this
receiver. You can assign them when setting up the
receiver (see also Assigning the digital inputs on
page 90).
Note
• If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio
output, omit step 3 above.
• In order to record, you must connect the analog
audio cables (the digital connection is for playback
only).
