SOURCE CONNECTIONS
Your receiver supports several A/V input and output formats. In most cases only one audio and one video
connection is needed for each source device. Shown below are the available options:
Analog audio (Stereo):
left and right.
Composite video:
coaxial (Yellow RCA).
Digital audio:
either coaxial or optical.
Super-Video:
S-Video.
DVD-Audio & Super Audio CD (SACD):
Analog 5.1
Component video:
Red, Green & Blue.
Connect an audio / video source to the surround receiver. Use the diagrams that follow as a guide for each of
the seven source inputs. For analog audio connections, use the left and right (white and red) RCA connec-
tions. For composite video, use the yellow RCA connections. For S-video use the S-video connections. For
digital audio, use EITHER the coaxial digital connection (orange RCA) or the optical digital connection per
each source. The order of audio signal precedence per each input is: Optical Digital > Coax Digital > Analog
left and right. For component video, use the red, green and blue RCA component connections. See
Video Monitor Connection
for details on connecting a video monitor.
If the second zone of the surround receiver or the record loop outputs are going to be used, the analog audio
and composite video and/or S-video signals must be connected to the surround receiver. The receiver will
neither process nor convert digital audio or component video for use in the the second zone.

SACD or DVD-Audio Connection
DVD-Audio or SACD is a discrete 5.1 channel analog audio mode. If the source gear contains connections
for DVD-Audio or SACD, use the DVD-Audio input connections on the back panel of the surround receiver.
The DVD-Audio input can be assigned to any source input except Tape (see Setup Inputs
). Be sure
to maintain the discrete channel connections.
Each channel is labeled appropriately
according to the speaker location in the
room.
Many times, DVD-Audio players have
multiple configuration options. The receiver
does not supply bass or delay management
for the DVD-Audio/SACD input. You should
adjust your player's bass and delay manage-
ment to match that of the receiver.
