1If your Blu-ray disc player only has an coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using an coaxial cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the player to (see The System Setup menu on page 39).

2See The Input Setup menu on page 66 to assign the S-VIDEO 2 input to the TV/SAT input function if you make this connection.

3If 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 66).

4If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
