Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video output terminal (composite) on the device to the VIDEO 2 IN jacks on the TX-DS797 and video input terminal to the VIDEO 2 OUT jacks. If there is an S video input/output terminal on the device, connect it to the S VIDEO 2 IN/OUT jack using an S video cable. You do not need to connect to both the S VIDEO 2 IN and VIDEO 2 IN terminals. If the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS797, the VIDEO 2 input source is set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jack.

If the video connection is made at COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Video Setup

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the device to the same VIDEO 2 IN audio jacks on the TX-DS797 and audio input terminal to the VIDEO 2 OUT audio jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) jack on the TX-DS797 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS797, the VIDEO 2 input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL 3 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 33).

If the device also has a digital input jack, it can be connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPT) jack on the TX-DS797 for digital recording of the source for REC OUT at the TX-DS797.

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-DS797 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
