Chapter One : Connecting Your Devices

Do not plug in the receiver or devices to AC power until you have connected all your devices.

This section focuses on the connections from your TV to the KRF-X7775D. Please refer to your TV’s instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.

The instructions in this section show how to connect your TV as a monitor for the other video devices you connect (without using it as an audio/video source device itself). To use your TV as an audio/video source device, you must first connect it as described in this section, and also connect its audio/video output jacks as if they were cable TV tuner out- puts, as described in “To Connect a Cable TV Tuner with a Composite (RCA) Video Output” on page 13.

3.If your TV has the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, you can also connect it as shown on the left.

4.If your TV does not have any video input connections, you must purchase an RF modulator. The modulator will convert the video signal from the receiver to an RF signal that will work with the TV’s antenna connections.

Connect the receiver to the TV according to the RF modulator’s instruction manual.

5.Go to “Noting Your Devices” on pageÊ 3 and note which jack you used to connect your TV. In addition, note the brand name and model number of the TV.

If you previously connected your TV directly to your VCR, you must now connect it through your new receiver.

With some devices, the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks (Y, PB/ CB, PR/CR jacks) are indicated as the R-Y, B-Y jacks. For details, refer to the operation instructions for the respective device.

What if I Want to Watch TV without Turning on the Receiver?
