6. Connecting a satellite tuner or television
Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video output terminal (composite) on the satellite tuner or television to the VIDEO 3 IN jacks on the TX-DS787. If there is an S video output terminal on the satellite tuner or television, connect it to the S VIDEO 3 IN jack using an S video cable. If the satellite tuner or television has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the satellite tuner or television to the same VIDEO 3 IN audio jacks on the TX-DS787. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the satellite tuner or television has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX- DS787 depending on the type of connector on the set top box or television.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS787, the VIDEO 3 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 2 jack. If the digital connection is made at a jack different from the initial settings, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).
7.Connecting a DVD recorder or other digital video recording device
Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video output terminal (composite) on the device to the VIDEO 1 IN jacks on the TX-DS787 and video input terminal to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks. If there is an S video input/output terminal on the device, connect it to the S VIDEO 1 IN/OUT jack using an S video cable. If the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the device to the same VIDEO 1 IN audio jacks on the TX-DS787 and audio input terminal to the VIDEO 1 OUT audio jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS787 depending on the type of connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS787, the VIDEO 1 input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL 2 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).
If the device also has a digital input jack, it can be connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS787 for digital recording of the source for REC OUT at the TX-DS787.
8. Connecting a television monitor or projector
Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video input terminal (composite) on the monitor to one of the MONITOR OUT jacks on the TX-DS787. If there is an S video input terminal on the monitor, connect it to the S VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack using an S video cable. If the device has component video inputs, connect them to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
Caution:
Note that the OSD Menu will only be displayed on the monitor connected to MONITOR OUT and not those connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
