Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder
This amplifier has three sets of audio/video inputs and
outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video
recorders, including VCRs, DVD-recorders and HDD
recorders.
1
Connect a set of audio/video outputs on the
recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO inputs
on this amplifier.
• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the
audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the
video connection.
• For a second and third recorder, use the
VCR2 IN
and
VCR3 IN
inputs.
2
Connect a set of audio/video inputs on the
recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO outputs
on this amplifier.
• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the
audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the
video connection.
• For a second and third recorder, use the
VCR2
and
VCR3
outputs.
3
Connect an optical digital audio output from the
recorder to the DIGITAL 5 (DVR/VCR1) input on this
amplifier.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.
• If your recorder only has a coaxial digital output, you
can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this
amplifier using a coaxial digital audio cable. When
you set up the amplifier you’ll need to tell the
amplifier which input you connected the recorder to
(see also
Assigning the digital inputs
on page 83).
• The digital outputs from other recorders can be
connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this
amplifier. You can assign them when setting up the
amplifier (see also
Assigning the digital inputs
on
page 83).
Note
• If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio
output, omit step
3
above.
• In order to record, you must connect the analog
audio cables (the digital connection is for playback
only).
