Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting VCRs or DVRs

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

Connect the video out of your VCR/DVR using either S video or composite video cords, depending on how you connected the receiver to your TV (see page 15). Use analog audio cords for the audio signal. To record, you also need to connect a set of audio/video outputs from the receiver to the audio/video inputs on your VCR/DVR. Note that to record video from a source component, the video connection from the source to the receiver and from the receiver to the recorder must be the same type.
