8 Digital audio optical inputs

Two optical digital audio inputs for connecting digital audio sources to this receiver. All the inputs are freely assignable to input functions for maximum flexibility.

•If a connected component does not correspond to the input function (DVD/LD, etc.), see Assigning the digital inputs on page 81 to assign it properly.

9 Digital audio outputs

Two optical digital audio outputs for connecting to a CD- R, MD or other digital recorder. See Connecting digital audio sources on page 25 for connection details.

10 Multi-room and source outputs

The analog audio outputs are for connection to a second amplifier in a separate room. The MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE composite video output is for connection to a second monitor or TV in a separate room. See Multi-room listening on page 73.

11 Audio/video source inputs

Each of the six source input functions has stereo analog audio jacks, a composite video jack and an S-video jack for basic connections. On top of these, you can assign digital audio and component video jacks to input functions as necessary. As well as audio/video inputs, the two input functions VCR 1/DVR and VCR 2 also have audio/video outputs for recording. See Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder on page 22 for connection details.

12 Monitor video outputs

Two video outputs consisting of a standard composite video output and an S-video output, for connection to monitors and TVs. See Connecting your TV on page 18 for connection details.

13 Multichannel pre-amplifier outputs

Multichannel pre-amp outputs that you can use to

connect separate amplifiers for center, surround,

surround back and subwoofer channels. See Connecting

additional amplifiers on page 75 for connection details.

17 RS-232C connector

This port is provided for connecting a personal computer for graphical output when using Advanced MCACC.

18 Speaker terminals

These are the main speaker terminals for front, center, surround and surround back speakers. See Installing your speaker system on page 28 for connection details.

19Voltage selector switches (Multi-voltage model only)

Use these to match the voltage coming into the receiver with the voltage in your country or region (see page 3 for more on this).

20AC power inlet

Connect the supplied power cord here.

21AC power outlet Switched 100W max. (Continental European model only – Excluding UK)

This 230V AC power outlet can be used to power another component in your setup (up to 100 W). Power to this outlet is switched off when the receiver is in standby.

About the video converter

The video converter allows you to connect various video sources using composite, S-video or component video connections and the signal will be output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is component video input, which is only output from the component video output. Therefore, if you want to connect any source using component video, you must also connect your TV using component video. If several video components are connected to the same input function, the converter gives priority to component, S- video, then composite (in that order).

The following chart shows when the video signal will be converted from the various video inputs (left column) for output to the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks (top row):

14 Multichannel analog audio inputs

7.1channel analog inputs for connection to a component with multichannel analog outputs. See Connecting the multichannel analog outputs on page 20 for connection details.

15 Component video inputs/output

The two component video inputs are freely assignable to any of the audio/video input functions. The component video output is for connection to a monitor or TV. See Using the component video jacks on page 24 for
