INSTALLATION STEPS
NOTE: It isn’t possible to make recordings using component video connections. Keep this in mind as you connect other source devices that you may wish to make recordings from.
Video 2 Source
The Video 2 source is used only for playback, never recording. The AVR 145 remote control is programmed to operate many brands and models of cable and satellite television devices, and we recommend connecting your cable or satellite
Referring to Table 2, connect your
DVD
The DVD source is used for a DVD player. If you have a more advanced multichannel device, such as a
Referring to Table 2, connect your DVD player to the DVD Analog Audio inputs and to the Coaxial 1 Digital Audio input. If possible, use the Component Video 1 inputs. Otherwise, connect the DVD player’s

NOTE: If you receive your television programming using your TV with an antenna or direct cable connection, then you will need to connect the analog and optical digital audio (if available on your TV) outputs to the Video 2 Analog Audio inputs and to the Optical 1 Digital Audio input. Do not connect any video output on the television set to any video input on the receiver. See Step Five for information on connecting the receiver’s video monitor outputs to the television.

CD
The CD source is used for a strictly audio device, such as a CD player.
Referring to Table 2, connect your CD player to the CD Analog Audio inputs and to the Coaxial 2 or Optical 2 Digital Audio input.
Video 3 Source
The Video 3 source is used only for playback, never recording. It is also generally reserved for components that are only temporarily connected to the receiver, such as cameras and game consoles. When not in use, you may place the supplied covers over the
Referring to Table 2, connect your camera or game console to the Video 3 Analog Audio inputs and to either the Coaxial 3 or Optical 3 digital audio input. If possible, use the Component Video 2 inputs. Otherwise, connect the component’s

No video connections are made, although if your system has unusual requirements, you may connect a video device using component video outputs to the Component Video 2 inputs on the receiver, if those jacks are not in use by another device.
Tape
The Tape source is used for
Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Tape Analog Audio inputs and outputs, and to either the Coax 2 or Optical 2 Digital Audio input (and corresponding digital audio output).
