Connect your TV

Depending on your TV, you can connect it to the receiver in one of three ways:

• S-Video cable (best picture quality) or
• Video cable (very good picture quality) or
• Coaxial cable (good picture quality)

In addition to your video connection, use a set of audio cables (L/R) to provide
stereo sound. If your TV does not have audio jacks, you will hear monophonic
audio. This is acceptable for the procedures described in the next section.
