Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Video Sources
If you connect three video sources, such as VCRs, laser disc (LD) play-
ers, or digital video disc (DVD) players to your receiver, you can use the
receiver to select each video source. You can also use the receiver to
easily record from these video sources to the source connected to
VCR/
TAPE 1 .
Connect phono cables from each video source’s audio outputs to the
receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 IN PLAY , LD/SAT IN , or DVD/TV IN jacks. Then connect
phono cables from the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 OUT REC jacks to the source’s
audio input jacks.
Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the
receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 , LD/SAT VIDEO IN , or DVD/TV VIDEO IN jacks. Then connect
video cables from the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT jack to the source’s
video input.
Connecting TVs/Video Monitors
You can connect either two TV’s or video monitors to the receiver. The
monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the
VIDEO OUT
terminal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s video
input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s
VIDEO OUT TO MONI-
TOR TV 1 or 2 jack to the monitor’s video input.
