The hookup diagrams on the subsequent pages assume the use of the following optional connection cables (not supplied).
Video cable
Audio cable
NOTE:
• Do not plug in the power supply cord until all connections have been completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).
• Note that binding pin-plug cables together with power supply cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in hum
or other noise.

Connecting Other Sources
With the AVR-686, the Video signal and the S-Video signal which
were inputted are mutually converted. And also the Video signal
and the S-Video signal which were inputted are converted into a
higher quality.

Cautions on the video conversion function:
When the component video terminals are used to connect the
AVR-686 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video
(yellow) or S-Video terminals are used to connect the AVR-686
with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR
the picture may flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted,
be out of sync not display at all when playing video tapes.
If this happens, connect a commercially available video
stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function
between the AVR-686 and the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC
function, turn it on.
