DVD player

Different DVD players offer a different selection of connections, but all should give you at least a digital audio output, stereo analog audio outputs and a video output. Additionally, you may have a player with multichannel analog audio outputs and different kinds of video outputs to choose from.

1Connect a coaxial digital audio output on your DVD player to the DIGITAL 3 (DVD/LD) input on this receiver.

•Use a coaxial digital audio cable for the connection.

•If your DVD player only has an optical digital output, you can connect it to one of the optical inputs on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the player to (see Assigning the digital inputs on page 75).

2If your DVD player only has stereo analog audio outputs, connect these to the DVD/LD AUDIO inputs on this receiver.

•Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the connection.

•If your DVD player has multichannel analog outputs, see Connecting the multichannel analog outputs below for how to connect it.

3Connect a composite or S-video output on your DVD player to the DVD/LD VIDEO or DVD/LD S- VIDEO input on this receiver.

•Use a standard RCA video cable or an S-video cable for the connection.

•See About the video converter on page 16 if you plan to use a different type of video cable than you used to connect your TV.

•If your player also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 24 for more on this.
