Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder
This receiver has two sets of audio/video inputs and
outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video
recorders, including VCRs, DVD-recorders and HDD
recorders.

on page 16 if you plan
to use a different type of video cable than you used to
connect your TV.

Connect an optical digital audio output from the
recorder to a digital input on this receiver.
The example illustration below shows a recorder
connected to the optical
DIGITAL 2 (CD-R/TAPE1)
input.
When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the
receiver which input you connected the recorder to (see
Assigning the digital inputs
on page 72).
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable or an optical cable
for the connection depending on the type of input you
used.
• The digital outputs from another recorder can be
connected to any spare digital audio input on this
receiver. You can assign it when setting up the
receiver (see
Assigning the digital inputs
on page 72).
Note
• If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio
output, omit step
