GETTING STARTED

5.Decide which sources to connect to each of the video inputs: Assign only one unique video input to each source, except that you may add a composite video connection to make the source’s video signal available to the multizone system. Use the best type of video connection available for each source.

•• If your system-best video connection is “HDMI”, select up to four HDMI

source devices and assign them to one of the four numbered HDMI Inputs.

•• If your system-best video connection is “Component”, or if you have source devices with component video outputs that weren’t assigned to one of the HDMI Inputs, assign up to three devices to one of the three numbered Component Video Inputs.

•• If your system-best video connection is “S-video”, or if you have source devices with S-video outputs that have not been assigned to an HDMI or Component Video Input, then assign up to three devices to one of the three numbered S-video Inputs.

•• If your system-best video connection is “Composite Video”, or if you have source devices with composite video outputs that have not been assigned to any other video input, then assign up to three devices to one of the three numbered composite video Inputs.

NOTE: If the source device is a video recorder that will be used to record from other devices connected to the AVR, assign the recorder to the Composite or S-Video Video 2 Input, which has a recording output. Any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Inputs may be assigned to the recorder for audio, if it is capable of making digital audio recordings. To make analog recordings, assign either the Analog 3 or 4 Audio Inputs to the recorder, as both have recording outputs. It is not necessary to connect TiVo or Video Recorder devices that will only record from their direct cable or satellite television signals to the AVR’s recording outputs.

6.Decide which audio inputs to connect to each source: Assign only one unique digital audio input to each digital source. Assign analog audio inputs to analog sources, or as secondary connections for digital sources for backup, for recording or to make the source available to the multizone system.

•• Any source using an HDMI Input requires no additional connection for audio unless:

♦♦ The source doesn’t output multichannel audio through its HDMI output. Make a second connection to the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs.

♦♦ The source has an HDCP-compliant DVI output for video only. Assign a digital or analog audio input.

•• For any source whose best audio connection is optical or coaxial digital audio, assign one of the four Optical or four Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs. Do not connect both types of digital audio to the same source device.

•• You may assign one of the 2-Channel Analog Audio Inputs to a digital source.

•• You may also assign the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs, if available, to a digital source.

•• Assign one of the six 2-channel Analog Audio Inputs to an analog source.

NOTE: If the source device is a digital audio recorder, it may be used with any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs. Both coaxial and optical signals are available at either digital audio output. To make analog recordings, assign either the Analog 3 or 4 Audio Inputs to the recorder, as both have recording outputs.
