Connecting Your Equipment

Video Components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding a DVD there are two types of connections to make. Hook up your video signal with either component video, S-video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but remember, the video component you are watching and your TV must be hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't be able to see the picture. For the audio signal, order to use Dolby Digital/DTS you must hook up a digital input. It is also a good idea to hook up your DVD components with analog audio connections as well, since some DVDs may not have a digital audio track. To cover all possible laser discs a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection and a digital connection (a coaxial or optical shown at the very top of the first diagram below).

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall outlet.

*The arrows indicate the direction of the video signal.

Front video connections are accessed via the front panel input selector as “VIDEO.“

memo If your video components have S-video jacks, you could use S-video cords (not supplied) to connect them on the back of the receiver.

However, if you use S-video cords for your video hook ups you must also hook up your TV with S-video connections. Conversely, if you use regular composite video cords for video hook ups, you should use them for your TV as well.
