Video 1 Source
Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is
best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR.
Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio
inputs and outputs and to any available Coax or Optical digital audio
input. See Figure 17. Use either the Video 1 S-video or composite
video input and output if you wish to make recordings. If you don’t plan
on recording, you may use the Component Video 2 inputs.
Figure 17 – Video 1 A/V Inputs and Outputs, and Digital Audio Inputs
Remember to connect the audio and video output jacks on your
recorder to the Video 1 or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the
audio and video input jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 output
jacks on the AVR.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections
named for that source. For example, you might connect your
DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1
digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as
“DVD”, and in Step Five of the Initial Setup section you will pro-
gram the receiver so that these connections are assigned to the
DVD source. When you select “DVD” as your source using the
front panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD
player will be used.
We recommend connecting your various sources using the connections
shown in Table 2 below in order to simplify programming your receiver
and remote control. However, you may connect any device to any
source input.
