Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting VCRs or DVRs

Connect the video out of your VCR/DVR using either S video or composite video cords, depending on how you connected the receiver to your TV (see p.16). Use analog audio cords for the audio signal. To record, you also need to connect a set of audio/video outputs from the receiver to the audio/video inputs on your VCR/DVR. Note that to record video from a source component, the video connection from the source to the receiver and from the receiver to the recorder must be the same type.

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.

memo You cannot assign the name of the digital input on the front panel. It will always appear as "VIDEO" in the receiver's display. See page 88 for more information on

"Assigning the Digital Inputs".
