CONNECTIONS
FRONT PANEL CONNECTIONS
Audio/Video 8 (Front Panel A/V Connections)
Connect a Video Game, MP3 Player, still or video camera,
or other audio/video device that is not a regular system
component to the Audio/Video Inputs on the M80 Front
Panel as shown in

. This eliminates having
to pull the receiver out of its installed position to get to
the rear panel connections.
These connections allow playback of the A/V Source
connected to these inputs. The analog line level audio
signals received at these inputs will be output at the
Audio 1 OUT, Audio 5 OUT, Zone 2 OUT and Zone 2 PRE-
OUT L & R analog line level audio jacks. The composite
and S-Video signals will be output through the Com-
posite and S-Video Monitor Outputs, the Component
Monitor OUT, HDMI Monitor OUT as well as the Video 1
OUT and Zone 2 Composite and S-Video Jacks.
The analog line level audio and composite video con-
nections match the Source Setup input default set-
tings for this source, so no additional configuration is
required with these connections. Be sure to select the
appropriate inputs for digital optical audio or S-Video in
the Source Setup.
1.
Using a stereo A/V patch cable with gold ends, con-
nect the L & R line level audio OUT on the source to
the Front L & R Audio INs on the M80.
2.
Connect the composite video OUT on the source to
the Front Video IN on the M80.
3.
Connect the S-Video OUT on the source to the Front
S-Video IN on the M80 if available. (Option.) S-Video
will provide improved picture quality over the com-
posite video signal. Be sure to select the S-Video
Input in Source Setup.
4.
Connect the Digital Optical Audio OUT on the
source to the Optical Front Audio IN on the M80 if
available. (Option.) Digital optical audio will provide
improved audio performance over the L & R analog
line level signal and provide surround encoding for
appropriately encoded content. Be sure to select
the Optical Front Input in Source Setup.
Note:
Be sure to select the appropriate Front Panel
audio/video inputs in the Source Setup. Any avail-
able rear panel inputs can also be used.
