Connecting Video Sources

If you connect two or more video sources, such as VCRs or laser disc players, to your receiver, you can use the receiver to select each video source. You can also use the receiver to easily record from the video sources to the source con- nected to VCR/TAPE 1.

Connect phono cables from each video source’s audio outputs to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 or LD/SAT IN (audio) jacks. Then connect phono cables from the re-

(audio) jacks to the source’s audio input jacks.

Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO IN or LD/SAT VIDEO IN jacks. Then connect video cables from the

receiver’sjack to the VCR’s video input.

You can connect a third video source to the DVD/TV IN jacks. Connect the source’s video output to the receiver’s DVD/TV VIDEO IN jack, and the source’s au- dio outputs to the receiver’s DVD/TV IN (audio) jacks.

The front paneljacks accept another audio/video device. These jacks are convenient for temporarily connecting another video source to the re- ceiver, such as a camcorder.

Connecting a Video Monitor

The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the VIDEO OUT ter- minal can monitor any program you connect to the receiver’s VCR/TAPE 1, LD/SAT, or DVD/TV input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s VIDEO OUT TO

jack to the monitor’s video input.
