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.
