Connecting other video sources

You can basically use any of the audio/video inputs on this receiver for any kind of video source. The example illustration below shows a component connected to the VCR2 inputs.

1Connect the analog audio outputs and a video output of the source component to a set of spare audio/video inputs on this receiver.

•Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the audio connection and a standard RCA video or S-video cable for the video 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.

2If the source component has a digital audio output, connect it to a spare digital audio input on this receiver.

•Use a coaxial digital audio cable or an optical cable for the connection depending on the type of input you used.

•You may need to assign the digital input you used when setting up the receiver (see Assigning the digital inputs on page 75).
