Connecting VCRs or DVRs

Be careful! For portable DVD players you will need a specialized optical cord (for the audio) that has a mini optical plug on one end and a regular optical plug on the other.

You cannot assign the name of the digital input on the front panel. It will always appear as "VIDEO" in the amplifier's display. See page 80 for more information on "Assigning the Digital Inputs".
