Connecting Your Equipment
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet.
Connecting a TV with an Internal Digital Tuner
If you have an TV with an internal digital tuner follow the directions above for an external digital tuner and in addition hook up your TV, if you have not already done so when you hooked up your DVD player (see the previous page). Make sure you use a digital connection as well as an analog one for the audio, as pictured below.
Match the shape of terminal and the optical plug.

Connecting Video Components
Connect your video components to the terminals as shown next page.
If you have a Digital Video Recorder (a DVR) you need to connect it digitally to either the optical digital terminals or the coaxial digital terminal in order to play and/or record multichannel sound. The quality of these two types of connection is the same so it’s simply a matter of matching like with like and using the available terminal(s) after you’ve hooked up your DVD player and cable/satellite/TV tuner.
Basically the easiest way to connect a DVR is to follow this receiver’s default settings and connect your cable/satellite tuner (or TV/SAT as it’s called on the remote control) and DVR to optical terminals 1 and 2 respectively, and connect the DVD to the coaxial terminal.
If this isn’t possible due to the types of terminals each component is equipped with, then you need to figure out which component will be used for the coaxial terminal and assign it properly (see p. 33). After that follow the optical terminal defaults (as below).
If you connected the coaxial terminal to DVD and thus left it on the default DVD setting the optical terminals default settings are:
OPT. 1: TV/SAT
OPT. 2: DVR
If you assigned the coaxial terminal to TV/SAT the optical terminals default settings are: OPT. 1: DVD
OPT. 2: DVR
All video decks (both DVRs and VCRs) should be hooked up with analog connections as well. If you want to record programs it is necessary to connect to the DVR/VCR IN AUDIO terminals as shown next page.
