The diagram shows a basic setup of this receiver together with a TV and DVD player, with S-video or composite video connections. Different TVs and DVD players may offer alternative connections. See also Using the component video jacks on page 14 if your TV and/or DVD player has component video inputs/outputs. If your DVD player offers multichannel analog audio outputs, see Connecting the multichannel analog inputs on page 50.

1Connect the MONITOR OUT video jack to a video input on your TV.

Use a standard RCA/phono jack video cable to connect to the composite video jack, or for higher quality video, use an S-video cable to connect to the S-video jack.

Connect using a stereo RCA/phono jack cable.

If your DVD player has multichannel analog outputs, you can connect these instead. See also Connecting the multichannel analog inputs on page 50.
