Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting VCRs or DVRs
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
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 page 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.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
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.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
memo
You cannot assign the digital input on the front panel. If you want to learn more about
this process see "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on page 91.
