1Connect the audio/video outputs of the video player/recorder to the DVR1 AUDIO and VIDEO inputs. Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio connection and a video or S-Video cable for the video connection.

•For a second recorder, use the DVR2 IN inputs.

2If the device can record, connect the DVR1 AUDIO and VIDEO outputs to the recorder’s audio/video inputs.

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

•For a second recorder, use the DVR2 OUT outputs.

Note

1If 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 65).

2If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
