Note

1If your DVD player only has an optical digital output, you can connect it to the optical input on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the player to (see The Input Assign menu on page 62).

2This connection will allow you to make analog recordings from your DVD player.

3For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO DVD/LD jack. If your player also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 18 for more on this.

4For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. See Using the component video jacks on page 18 if you want to use the component video outputs to connect this receiver to your TV.
