Installation and Connections
Video Equipment Connections
Video equipment is connected in the same manner
as audio components. Again, the use of high-
quality interconnect cables is recommended to pre-
serve signal quality. To ensure best video perform-
ance S-Video sources should be connected to the
AVR only with their S-Video In/Outputs, not with
their composite video connectors too.
1. Connect a VCR’s audio and video Play/Out
jacks to the
Video 1
2M
or
Video 2 In
jacks
JK
on the rear panel. The Audio and Video
Record/In jacks on the VCR should be connected
to the
Video 1 Out jacks
4I
on the AVR.
2. Although any video device may be connected
to these jacks, we recommend connecting your
video recorder to the
Video 1 Audio/Video
Input Jacks
2M
so that you may take advan-
tage of the fact that the remote control is prepro-
grammed with video recorder product codes for
the Video 1 device.
For the same reason, we recommend connecting
your cable TV converter or satellite receiver to the
Video 2 Audio/Video Input Jacks
JK
, and
your television to the
Video 3 Audio/Video
Input Jacks
H
.
IMPORTANT:
If you are only using the television
as a display device (i.e., if you receive your televi-
sion programs through a cable box or satellite
receiver), do not connect the TV’s outputs to the
Video 3 Audio/Video
and
S-Video Input
Jacks
H
, or to any other inputs on the AVR.
3. Connect the analog audio and video outputs
of a DVD or laser disc player to the
DVD
jacks
5C
.
4. Connect the digital audio outputs of a CD, MD
or DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box or
HDTV converter to the appropriate
Optical
or
Coaxial Digital Inputs
9L
4G
.
Remember that the DVD source defaults to the
Coaxial 1 Digital Input
L
. All other sources
default to their analog inputs, although any
source may be assigned to any digital audio input
on the receiver.
5. Connect the
Composite
and
S-Video
(if
S-Video device is in use)
Monitor Output
B
jacks on the receiver to the composite and
S-Video input of your television monitor or video
projector.
6. If your DVD player and monitor both have
component video connections, connect the com-
ponent outputs of the DVD player to the
Video 1
Component Video Inputs
F
. Note that even
when component video connections are used the
audio connections must still be made to either
the analog
DVD Audio Inputs
5
or any of the
Coaxial
or
Optical Digital Input
jacks
9L
.
7. If another component video device is available,
connect it to the
Video 2 Component Video
Input
jacks
8
. The audio connections for this
device should be made to either the
Video 2
Input
jacks
J
or any of the
Coaxial
or
Optical
Digital Input
jacks
9L
.
8. If the component video inputs are used,
connect the
Component Video Output
E
to
the component video inputs of your TV, projector
or display device.
9. If you have a camcorder, video game or other
audio/video device that is connected to the AVR
on a temporary, rather than permanent basis,
connect the audio, video and digital audio out-
puts of that device to the
Front Panel Inputs
4GH
. A device connected to the
Video 3
jacks
H
is selected as the Video 3 input, and
connected to the digital jacks
4G
it is
selected as "Optical 3" or "Coaxial 3" input.
(See page 16 for more information on input
configuration.)
Video Connection Notes:
• Y/Pr/Pb Component, RGB (see page 14), or
Composite video signals may only be viewed in
their native formats and will not be converted
to the other formats.
• All component inputs/outputs can be used for
RGB signals too, in the same way as described
for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected to the
jacks with the corresponding color.
But this is only correct as long as only the three
RGB video signals are output by the video
source, with a sync signal in the "G" signal
only, without any sync signal output separately
by the source.
