Setting up the system
Make connections as shown in the following pages. When connecting the related system components, be sure to also refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting.
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.
VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks
The receiver’s VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks can be used in two different ways. Make the appropriate setting for the component connected to the jack when the receiver is turned on.
Use as a VIDEO 2 jack
You can connect a video deck or the like to these jacks and perform video playback and recording. The initial factory setting is "VIDEO 2".
Use as a MONITOR jack
You can connect a cassette deck or the like to these jacks and make use of the deck’s monitoring function during recording. Alternately, you can connect a graphic equalizer to these jacks to apply compensation to the music signal.
To use the VIDEO 2/MONITOR jacks as MONITOR jacks, hold down the MONITOR key of the main unit for more than two seconds so that the indication shown below appears.

Notes
1.Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or noise may interfere.
2.Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.
3.Do not connect power cords from components which power consump- tion is larger than what is indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit.
Analog connections
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs on each end, one red for the right channel and one white for the left channel. These cables are usually packaged with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.
Input mode settings
CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2 inputs each include jacks for digital audio input and analog audio input.
You must select beforehand which type of input is to be used for each connected component.
The initial factory settings is to use the digital audio signal for playback (CD/DVD, DVD/6ch and VIDEO2).
To use the analog audio input for playback instead (if, for example, you have connected a VCR to the VIDEO2 input), you must set the input mode for the corresponding input to the analog mode.
After completing connections and turning on the receiver, follow the steps below.
