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
DVR/VCR1
AUDIO
and
VIDEO
inputs.
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 recorder, use the DVR/VCR2 IN inputs.
2 If the device can record, connect the
DVR/VCR1
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 or S-video cable for the video
connection.
• For a second recorder, use the DVR/VCR2 outputs.
3 If the device can output digital audio, connect an
optical-type
1
digital audio output from the recorder to
the
OPTICAL IN 3
(
DVR/VCR1
) input.
Use an optical cable for the connection.

Using the component video jacks
Component video should give superior picture quality
when compared to composite or S-video. You can also
take advantage of progressive scan video (if your source
and TV are both compatible), 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.
1 Connect the component video outputs of your source
to a set of
ASSIGNABLE COMPONENT VIDEO
inputs.
Connect using a three-way component video cable.

Note
1 • In order to record, you must connect the analog audio cables (the digital connection is for playback only).
• If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
2 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 The Input Setup menu on page 66).
