When connecting video components such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and televisions, you can use different types of cables depending on how the video component is equipped.

Video connections:

If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks, it is recommended that it be connected to the AVR-800 or directly to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO cable. S-Video cables provide better picture clarity and resolution. If the video component is not equipped with an S-VI DEO j ack, use a convent ional RCA t o RCA composite cable to connect to the AVR-800 or directly to the television.

The above illustration shows how to connect video components to the AVR-800.

Note:

When connection more than one video component to the AVR-800 (ie: VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use either all S-Video cables or all RCA to RCA composite cables. This allows both video signals (DVD and VCR) to be sent through the AVR-800 to the TV monitor using j ust one video input on t he TV (S-Video or RCA) . Regardless of the video component being played DVD or VCR, the picture will always appear on the same video input of the monitor.

I f you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to connect different video components to the AVR-800, you must also use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to connect the TV monitor to the AVR-800.

For example, if you connect a DVD player to the AVR-800 using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA to RCA composite cable, you must also connect the TV to the AVR-800 using both types of cables. This requires an S- Video cable from the S-Video monitor out jack on the AVR- 800 to an S-Video input on the TV (ie. Video 1). In addition, you must use an RCA composite cable from the composite video monit or out j ack on t he AVR- 800 t o an RCA composite video input on the TV but not the same input used for the S-Video cable(ie: Video 2). Using this type of dual cable video connection. you will need to switch the TV video input source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending on the video source being played-TV, DVD or VCR.

Audio connections:

Some video components are equipped with special digital audio outputs (ie: DVD players). I f your video component is equipped with a digital audio output, it is recommended that you connect to the AVR-800 using a digital cable. Digital audio cables are required to use the DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound modes. If you do not use digital connections, the AVR-800 will only operate in Dolby Pro LogicII, Dolby 3 Stereo, Hall, Theater and Stadium surround modes.

There are two types of digital cables - coaxial (75 ohm) and optical. The AVR-800 i s equipped with both types of digital inputs. These inputs are labeled DIGITAL/DTS/PCM on the rear of the unit. Connect the video component outputs to any one of the three digital inputs on theAVR-800.

If the video component is not equipped with a digital output, use a dual RCA to RCA composite audio cable to connect to the AVR-800.

Make sure to connect:

White plug to white jack ( L : left )

Red plug to red jack ( R : right )

Note:

When an optical cable is used, remove the protection caps from t he component and AVR- 800 before attempting to insert the optical cable. If not using an optical cable or if the cable is removed, always re-install t he protection caps t o prevent dirt and dust from entering the inputs. If using a coaxial digital cable, leave the protection caps in both the video component and AVR-800.
