Getting StartedHooking Up the System
TV-VCR Hookups
You must connect a TV to control the receiver using the
on-screen display. Also, to enjoy the Dolby Pro Logic
Surround encoded videos and TV programs, you need
to connect TV and VCRs together with the center and
rear speakers.
If your components are Sony products, connect them to
the jacks as shown in the table on page 19, this makes
IR registration is unnecessary.
For digital connections see “Digital Component
Hookups” (page 12)
What cables will I need?
• Audio/video cable (not supplied)
• Video cable (not supplied)
Make sure to match the color of the plugs and the
jacks: Yellow (video) to Yellow; White (left, audio) to
White; and Red (right, audio) to Red. If your
components have S-video jacks, we recommend that
you use the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks.
Ç : signal flow
a MONITOR (to TV or monitor)
Be sure to use your TV as a monitor, and use the TV
tuner built-in to the VCR to watch TV programs. If
you use your TV’s tuner, the on-screen display will
change to a TV program when you switch channels.
Also, do not connect anything to the TV/DBS IN jacks.
If you connect a Sony TV with TV OUT jacks, you can
use the TV tuner in your TV (see page 26 for details)
and the TV/DBS IN jacks without disrupting the on-
screen display.
b VIDEO 1, 2 (to VCR)
Connect VCRs to the VIDEO 1 or/and VIDEO 2 jacks.
If you connect a Sony StarSight tuner, connect it to the
VIDEO 1 jacks.
