1Connect the component video outputs of your source to a set of ASSIGNABLE COMPONENT VIDEO inputs. Connect using a three-way component video cable.

Note

1• In order to record, you must connect the analog audio cables (the digital connection is for playback only).

•If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.

2If your recorder 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 recorder to (see also The Input Setup menu on page 67).
