Connecting your equipment

If your DVD player has multichannel analog outputs, you can connect these instead. See also see Connecting the multichannel analog inputs on page 28.

The input functions below are assigned by default to the receiver’s different input terminals. Refer to The Input Setup menu on page 40 to change the assignments if other connections are used.

For example, the BD terminal is fixed to BD input; no other audio signals can be input to this terminal.

Connecting a satellite/cable receiver or other set-top box

Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.

When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set- top box to (see The Input Setup menu on page 40).
