Video equipment connections

1.Digital audio connections

This receiver has a powerful digital signal processor for use with DVD players, DAT decks, and CD players. The digital inputs, CO- AXIAL 1, 2 and OPTICAL 1, 2can be assigned to individual input selector buttons, so when an input selector button is pressed, the assigned digital input is used instead of the corresponding analog input. (See page 23,29.)

2.Connect your second video cassette deck.

3.Connect your DVD player to COAXIAL or OPTICAL, whichever appropriate.

4.OSD SELECTOR:

Selects whether to output the OSD (On-Screen Display) information with the Video signals or the S-Video signals. Select "S VIDEO" when the monitor is connected via the S-Video terminal.

5.Connecting video equipment through S-video connectors

The signals input from the S IN jack will be output only to the S OUT jack; the signals input from the V IN jack will be output only to the V OUT jack.

For information on whether you need to connect either S or V jack or both of them, please refer to the instruction manual that came with your video equipment.

6.Connect your video camera or TV game machine to the VIDEO-4 / VIDEO CAM INPUT jacks.

If a momaural video camera is used, connect its audio connection cable to “ R(MONO)” audio jack.

Notes:

When using a playback-only VCR, connect it to VIDEO 3 or VIDEO 4. If you connect it to VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2, you need to make only the input connections.

This receiver can be used with only a monitor TV equipped with a video input or S video jack.

Interference may be caused between the TV and this receiver. If this interference occurs, place the receiver and the TV as far apart as possible. We do not recommend the use of a common TV/FM antenna (see antenna section).

Remove the protective cap attached to the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack before making the connection. When this jack is not used, replace the protective cap.
