Connecting your TV

This page shows you how to connect your TV to the receiver. To be able to play the sound from the TV’s built- in tuner, connect the analog audio outputs from your TV to this receiver.

If your TV has a built-in digital decoder, you can connect the digital audio output to this receiver to enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS sound from digital TV broadcasts.

1Connect the MONITOR OUT 1 video jack on this receiver to a video input on your TV.

You can use a standard RCA/phono jack video cable to connect to the composite video jack, or for higher quality video, you can use an S-video cable to connect to the S-video jack (S2 VIDEO).

See Using the component video jacks on page 22 if you want to use the component video outputs to connect this receiver to your TV.

2Connect the analog audio outputs from your TV to the TV/DVD AUDIO inputs on this receiver.

Use a stereo RCA/phono jack cable for the connection.

3Connect a coaxial digital audio output from your TV to the DIGITAL 2 (TV/DVD) input on this receiver.

Use a coaxial cable designed for digital audio for the connection.

If your TV only has an optical digital output, you can connect it to one of the optical inputs on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the TV to (see also Assigning the digital inputs on page 90).

Note

If your TV doesn’t have a digital audio output, omit step 3 above.

If you use different cord types for the TV and the source component, overlay information doesn’t appear.
