digital audio output from
your set-top box to the OPTICAL 2 (TV/SAT) input. 2
Use an optical cable for the connection.
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 3 digital audio output from the recorder to
the OPTICAL 1 (DVR/VCR1) input.
Use an optical cable for the connection. 4
• For a second recorder, use the COAXIAL 2 (DVR/
VCR2) inputs.
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.
Note
1 If your set-top box 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 set-top box to (see
The Input Assign menu on page 52).
2 If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
