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 jack audio cable for the audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the video connection.

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

Use a coaxial cable designed for digital audio 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 also Assigning the digital inputs on page 88).

3If the source component is an LD player with a

2 RF digital audio output, connect this to the 2 RF input on this receiver.

To ensure compatibility with all laserdiscs, connect both the PCM and 2 RF outputs from your LD player.

Use a coaxial cable designed for digital audio for the 2 RF connection.

You may need to assign the 2 RF digital input when setting up the receiver (see also Assigning the digital inputs on page 88).
