Connecting a VCR or DVD Recorder for Playback
In addition to video playback, with this hookup example, you can use your VCR’s tuner to listen to your favorite TV programs via the AV receiver. This is useful if your TV has no audio outputs.
Step 1: Video Connection
Choose a connection that matches your VCR or DVD recorder ( A , B , or C ), and then make the connection. Your
TV must be connected to the AV receiver via the same type of connection.
