Hooking Up the System

TV-VCR Hookups

You must connect a TV to control the receiver using the on-screen display. Also, to enjoy the Dolby Pro Logic Surround encoded videos and TV programs, you need to connect TV and VCRs together with the center and rear speakers.

If your components are Sony products, connect them to the jacks as shown in the table on page 19, this makes IR registration is unnecessary.

Make sure to match the color of the plugs and the jacks: Yellow (video) to Yellow; White (left, audio) to White; and Red (right, audio) to Red. If your components have S-video jacks, we recommend that you use the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks.

aMONITOR (to TV or monitor)

Be sure to use your TV as a monitor, and use the TV tuner built-in to the VCR to watch TV programs. If you use your TV’s tuner, the on-screen display will change to a TV program when you switch channels. Also, do not connect anything to the TV/DBS* IN jacks.

If you connect a Sony TV with TV OUT jacks, you can use the TV tuner in your TV (see page 28 for details) and the TV/DBS IN jacks without disrupting the on- screen display.
