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

Note

1See The Input Setup menu on page 61 to assign the S-VIDEO 2 input to the SAT input function if you make this connection.

2If your set-top box only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Setup menu on page 61).

3If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.

4See The Input Setup menu on page 61 to assign the S-VIDEO 2 input to the DVR/VCR1 input function if you make this connection.
