Connecting an A/V Receiver, TV, and VCR
1 Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the
CABLE IN connector on the cable terminal.
2 Connect a stereo audio cable to the AUDIO OUT R and L connectors
on the cable terminal and the INPUT R and L connectors on the
A/V receiver.
3 Connect a video cable to the VIDEO OUT connector on the cable
terminal and the CABLE/TV VIDEO connector on the A/V receiver.
4 Connect a stereo audio cable to the VCR AUDIO OUT R and L
connectors on the A/V receiver and the INPUT AUDIO R and L
connectors on the stereo VCR.
5 Connect a stereo audio cable to the OUTPUT AUDIO OUT R and L
connectors on the stereo VCR and the VCR AUDIO IN R and L
connectors on the A/V receiver.
6 Connect a video cable to the INPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo
VCR and the VIDEO VCR OUT connector on the A/V receiver.
7 Connect a video cable to the OUTPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo
VCR and the VIDEO VCR IN connector on the A/V receiver.

If you can:
• Use the
OPTICAL SPDIF or coaxial SPDIF outputs instead of the stereo
AUDIO R and L outputs. In most cases, S/PDIF offers better audio
quality, including support for Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.
• Use the S-video connections instead of the standard RCA video
connections. In most cases, S-video offers better video quality.
This video connection method does not support HD video. For more
