Connecting an A/V Receiver, TV, and VCR

1Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the CABLE IN connector on the DCT*.

2Connect a stereo audio cable to the AUDIO OUT R and L connectors on the DCT* and the INPUT R and L connectors on the A/V receiver.

3Connect a video cable to the VIDEO OUT connector on the DCT* and the CABLE/TV VIDEO connector on the A/V receiver.

4Connect a stereo audio cable to the VCR AUDIO OUT R and L connectors on the A/V receiver and the INPUT AUDIO R and L connectors on the stereo VCR.

5Connect a stereo audio cable to the OUTPUT AUDIO OUT R and L connectors on the stereo VCR and the VCR AUDIO IN R and L connectors on the A/V receiver.

6Connect a video cable to the INPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo VCR and the VIDEO VCR OUT connector on the A/V receiver.

7Connect a video cable to the OUTPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo VCR and the VIDEO VCR IN connector on the A/V receiver.

8Connect a video cable to the INPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo TV and the TV/MONITOR OUTPUT video connector on the A/V receiver.

If your equipment supports it:

•The optical (OPTICAL SPDIF) or coaxial (SPDIF) audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO R and L). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including support for 5.1 surround sound.

•S-video connections may be used in place of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases, S-video offers a higher level of standard definition video quality than RCA video.

The video connection method does not support HD video. For more information, see “Connecting your DCT* to an HDTV – Video Only” on page 18.
