Connecting Your TV, continued
Do not plug in the receiver or devices to AC power until
you have connected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your TV to
the VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080. Please refer to your TV’s in-
structions for more detail about its connection jacks and
capabilities.
The instructions in this section show how to connect your
TV as a monitor for the other video devices you connect
(without using it as an audio/video source device itself). To
use your TV as an audio/video source device, you must first
connect it as described in this section, and also connect its
audio/video output jacks as if they were cable TV tuner out-
puts, as described in “To Connect a Cable TV Tuner with a
Composite (RCA) Video Output” on page 13.
To Connect a TV:
1. Review the information under “Before You Begin” on
page 1. It contains important notes about the types of
video connections you can make.
2. Connect a video cable from your TV’s Video IN jack to
the receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack as shown to the left.
3. If your TV does not have any video input connections,
you must purchase an RF modulator. The modulator
will convert the video signal from the receiver to an RF
signal that will work with the TV’s antenna connections.
Connect the receiver to the TV according to the RF
modulator’s instruction manual.
4. Go to “Noting Your Devices” on page 3 and note which
jack you used to connect your TV. In addition, note the
brand name and model number of the TV.
If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR,
you must now connect it through your new receiver.
What if I Want to Watch TV without Turning
on the Receiver?
The connection described here sets your TV up as a monitor
you can use to view media played on your other video de-
vices (such as a VCR or DVD player). You can still watch TV
without having to use the receiver.
With some devices, the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks (Y, PB/
CB, PR/CR jacks) are indicated as the R-Y, B-Y jacks. For
details, refer to the operation instructions for the respective
device.
