Connect Your Source Devices
Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, such as a
Blu-ray Disc or DVD player, or a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner. Your AVR has several
different types of input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI,
component video, composite video, optical digital audio, coaxial digital audio and
analogue audio. The connectors are labeled for the types of source devices you are most
likely to connect.
Each of your AVR’s source buttons is assigned to an HDMI connector or an analogue
audio input connector (listed in the “AVR Source Button/Analogue Audio Connector”
column of the table below). To provide you flexibility for connecting and configuring your
system, we have designed the AVR so that you can assign the digital audio inputs to any
of the video AVR sources.
As you connect your various source components, fill out the “Source Device Connected”
column in the following table – it will make it easier for you to assign the digital audio
input connectors and component video connector later in the setup process.
