Connections

Note

*1 When USB input is selected, you can input video signals from the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack. Video signals input from AUX INPUT VIDEO will be output from the MONITOR OUT jack.

*2 Do not connect the AV receiver’s USB port to a USB port on

your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the AV receiver in this way.

*3 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have it, you’ll need a commercially available phono preamp.

If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.

With connection D, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS.

With connection F, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to connect to the main stereo.

How to record a video source

With the connections described above, you cannot record the videos through the AV receiver. See “Recording” about connections for video recording (page 36).
