Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Video Sources
If you connect two video sources, such as VCRs, laser disc (LD) players, or dig-
ital 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 or DVD/LD 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 or DVD/LD VIDEO IN jacks. Then connect video cables from the
receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT jack to the source’s video input.
Connecting a Video Monitor
The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the VIDEO OUT ter-
minal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 IN PLAY
or DVD/LD IN jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s VIDEO OUT TO MONI-
TOR TV jack to the monitor’s video input.
