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.

8 Connect a video cable to the INPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo TV and the TV/MONITOR

OUTPUT video 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, SPDIF 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 information, see “Connecting

to an HDTV – Video Only.”
