INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

2.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a television set or any other video source to the Video 2 Input Jacks f36 37 .

3.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a cable TV converter or satellite receiver, or any other video source, to the Video 3 Jacks h40 41 .

4.Connect the analog audio and video outputs of

a DVD or laser disc player to the DVD Jacks a

k31 . When a digital audio connection is used for your DVD player, the default connection is the Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1 Jack b. However, the connection may also be made to any of the Optical e # or Coaxial b $ digital audio inputs, provided that the digital input source selection is changed as shown on pages 17 and 26. If your DVD or DVD-Audio player includes an onboard sur- round decoder and 6-channel line-level audio out- puts, you may connect these audio outputs to the 6-Channel Direct Inputs i. When you wish to hear this decoded audio, select the DVD input first in order to select the video signal from the DVD player, then select the 6-Channel Direct Input source for the audio.

5.Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the appropriate Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs be#$.

6.Connect the Video Monitor Output ·j jacks on the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.

VIDEO CONNECTION NOTE:

•Composite and S-Video signals may only be viewed in their native formats. The AVR 225 will not convert signals from composite to S-Video, or vice versa.

S-Video inputs may only be viewed when the

AVR 225 is connected to a TV set or video display with S-Video capability. If you use both standard composite video and S-Video sources in your system, it is important that you connect both an S-Video cable and a standard composite video cable (a coax cable with an RCA plug on both ends) between the AVR 225 and your TV or projector. When it is necessary to make both types of connections to your TV set, use different inputs if possible. Consult the instructions for your TV set or projector for more information on connecting both types of signals.

Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with high-current draw equip- ment such as power amplifiers. The total power draw to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.

The Switched AC Accessory Outlet › will receive power only when the unit is on. This is recommended for devices that have no power switch or a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched out- lets, and cannot be fully turned on using the outlet alone without a remote control command.

The Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet fi will receive power as long as the unit is plugged into a powered AC outlet.

Finally, when all connections are complete, plug the Power Cord fl into a nonswitched 120-volt AC wall outlet. You’re almost ready to enjoy the AVR 225!
