Connecting Video Sources

If you connect three video sources, such as VCRs, laser disc (LD) play- ers, or digital video disc (DVD) players to your receiver, you can use the receiver to select each video source. You can also use the receiver to easily record from these video sources to the source connected to VCR/ TAPE 1.

Connect phono cables from each video source’s audio outputs to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 IN PLAY, LD/SAT IN, or DVD/TV IN jacks. Then connect phono cables from the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 OUT REC jacks to the source’s audio input jacks.

Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1, LD/SAT VIDEO IN, or DVD/TV VIDEO IN jacks. Then connect

video cables from the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT jack to the source’s

video input.

Connecting TVs/Video Monitors

You can connect either two TV’s or video monitors to the receiver. The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the terminal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s video input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s

TOR TV 1 or 2 jack to the monitor’s video input.
