INSTALLATION
We recommend connecting your various sources using the connections shown in Table 2 in order to simplify programming your receiver
and remote control. However, you may connect any device to any source input.
NOTE: The AVR 247 is equipped with a total of six digital audio
inputs, not including the HDMI inputs: four on the rear panel (Coaxial 1 and 2, Optical 1 and 2) and two on the front panel (Coaxial 3 and Optical 3). However, there are a total of nine sources that may be connected to devices that have digital audio outputs. We recommend certain digital audio connections simply because, as reflected in Table A1 of the Appendix, those digital audio inputs are assigned to those sources by default at the factory. But any digital audio input (except HDMI) may be reassigned to any source. Since you may not be using all nine source inputs, you may reassign a digital audio input that is recommended for a source you aren’t using to another device. Table 2 is a guide; you may need to make adjustments to fit your system.
Video 1 Source
Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR/PVR.
Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio inputs and outputs and to any available coaxial or optical digital audio input (and corresponding digital audio output). See Figure 20. Use either the Video 1
Referring to Table 2, connect your

Video 3 Source
The Video 3 source is used only for playback. The remote control
is programmed to operate a TV, but you may connect any audio/video source device to the Video 3 inputs and use the device’s own remote to control it.
If you receive your television programming using your TV with an antenna or direct cable connection, connect the analog audio outputs (if available on your TV) to the Video 3 Analog Audio inputs. See Figure 22. 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 TV.
NOTE: You may connect any video source other than a display device to the Video 3
Figure 20 – Video 1 A/V Inputs and Outputs, and Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs
Remember to connect the audio and video output jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 or digital audio input jacks on the AVR, and the audio and video input jacks on your recorder to the Video 1 or digital audio output jacks on the AVR.
NOTE: It isn’t possible to make recordings using HDMI or compo- nent 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. The AVR 247 remote control is programmed to operate many brands and models of cable and satellite television devices, and we recommend connecting your cable or satellite

Video 4 Source
The Video 4 source is used only for playback. 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 4 Analog Audio inputs and to either the Coaxial 3 or Optical 3 digital audio input. Connect the component’s
