Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder

This amplifier has three sets of audio/video inputs and

outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video

recorders, including VCRs, DVD-recorders and HDD

recorders.

1 Connect a set of audio/video outputs on the

recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO inputs

on this amplifier.

• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the

audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the

video connection.

•For a second and third recorder, use the VCR2 IN and

VCR3 IN inputs.

2 Connect a set of audio/video inputs on the

recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO outputs

on this amplifier.

• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the

audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the

video connection.

• For a second and third recorder, use the VCR2 and

VCR3 outputs.

3Connect an optical digital audio output from the

recorder to the DIGITAL 5 (DVR/VCR1) input on this

amplifier.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.

•If your recorder only has a coaxial digital output, you

can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this

amplifier using a coaxial digital audio cable. When

you set up the amplifier you’ll need to tell the

amplifier which input you connected the recorder to

(see also Assigning the digital inputs on page 83).

• The digital outputs from other recorders can be

connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this

amplifier. You can assign them when setting up the

amplifier (see also Assigning the digital inputs on

page 83).

Note

•If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio

output, omit step 3 above.

• In order to record, you must connect the analog

audio cables (the digital connection is for playback

only).
