Connecting Your Equipment

TV

Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up the signal with either component video, S-video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but remember, the video component you are watching and your TV must be hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't be able to see the picture.

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

memo The jack and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack can be used to get a TV picture but it doesn't show this receiver's on screen display (OSD).

If you use S video cords to hook up a component the OSDs from the receiver will only be able to be seen on the S video out terminals.

Multi Channel Input (External Decoder)

In some cases you may want to have your source material (DVD, etc.) decoded externally. If you find you need a multi channel external decoder hook one up as shown below, but for most people this component is unnecessary (For more on this see p.52).

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
