CONNECTION

DVD PLAYER, TELEVISION (MONITOR), ETC

When connecting video components such as DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and television, you can use different types of cables depending on how the video component is equipped.

Video connections:

If the video component is equipped with S-VIDEO jacks, it is recommended connect to your Receiver or directly to the television monitor using an S-VIDEO cable. S-VIDEO cables provided better picture clarity and resolution. If the video component is not equipped with an S-VIDEO jack, use a conventional RCA or RCA composite cable to connect to your Receiver or directly to the television.

The illustration here shows how to connect video components to your Receiver.

Note:

When connecting more than one video component to your Receiver (i.e. VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use either all S-VIDEO cables or all RCA to RCA composite cables. This allows both video signals (DVD and VCR) to be sent through your receiver to the TV monitor using just one video input on the TV (S-Video or RCA). Regardless of the video component being played DVD or VCR, the picture will always appear on the same video input of the monitor.

If you use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to connect different video components to your Receiver, you must also use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to connect the TV monitor to your Receiver.

For example, if you connect a DVD player to your Receiver using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA to RCA composite cable, you must also connect the TV to your Receiver using both types of cables. This requires an S-Video cable from the S-Video monitor out jack on your Receiver to an S-Video input on the TV (i.e. Video 1). In addition, you must use an RCA composite cable from the composite video monitor out jack on your Receiver to an RCA composite video input on the TV but not the same input used for the S-Video cable (i.e. Video 2). Using this type of dual cable video connection, you will need to switch the TV video input source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending on the video source being played-TV, DVD or VCR.

Audio connections:

Some video components are equipped with special digital audio outputs (i.e. DVD players). If your video component is equipped with a digital audio output, it is recommended that you connect to your Receiver using a digital cable. Digital audio cables are required to use the DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound modes. If you do not use digital connections, your Receiver will only operate in Dolby Prologic II, PASSTHRU, MOVIE, MUSIC, ROOM, THEATER and HALL surround modes. There are two types of digital cables, coaxial (75 ohm) and optical. This Receiver is equipped with both types of digital inputs. These inputs are labeled COAXIAL IN and OPTICAL IN on the rear of the unit. Connect the video component outputs to any one of the two digital inputs on your Receiver.

If the video component is not equipped with a digital output, use a dual RCA to RCA composite audio cable to connect to your Receiver. Make sure to connect:

White plug to white jack (L: left)

Red plug to red jack (R: right)

Note:

When an optical cable is used, remove the protection caps from the component and your Receiver before attempting to insert the optical cable. If not using an optical cable or if the cable is removed, always re-install the protection caps to prevent dirt and dust from entering the inputs. If using a coaxial digital cable, leave the protection caps in both the video component and your Receiver.
