Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder

This receiver has three sets of audio/video inputs and outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video recorders, including VCRs, DVD-recorders and HDD recorders.

1Connect a set of audio/video outputs on the

recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO inputs on this receiver.

•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.

2Connect a set of audio/video inputs on the recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO outputs on this receiver.

3Connect an optical digital audio output from the recorder to the DIGITAL 5 (DVR/VCR1) input on this receiver.

•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 receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the recorder to (see also Assigning the digital inputs on page 90).

•The digital outputs from other recorders can be connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this receiver. You can assign them when setting up the receiver (see also Assigning the digital inputs on page 90).

•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.

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).
