2This connection will allow you to make analog recordings from your DVD player.

3If your player also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 16 for more on this.

4See Using the component video jacks on page 16 if you want to use the component video outputs to connect this receiver to your TV.
