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 video jack on this receiver to a video input on your TV.

Make sure you don’t connect to the MONITOR OUT connection for MULTI ROOM & SOURCE.

•You can use a standard RCA 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 (S-VIDEO).

•See Using the component video jacks on page 24 if you want to use the component video outputs to connect this receiver to your TV.

•See About the video converter on page 16 if you plan on connecting your other video components using different types of video cables than for your TV.

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

•Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the connection.

3Connect an optical digital audio output from your TV to the DIGITAL 1 (TV/SAT) input on this receiver.

•Use an optical cable for the connection.

•If your TV 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 TV to (see Assigning the digital inputs on page 81).

Note

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