CONNECTING TO AUDIO-VISUAL COMPONENTS
If your video component has a S-Video jack included you can make use of it to enjoy enhanced video quality by connecting it to
the relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the receiver. One video cable is needed for each component. When S-Video cable
is used, composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable must also be connected for VCR recording.
NOTE: Before plugging in the optical cable or S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of the plug and jack, otherwise,
you will not be able to plug in completely.
If you have a SAT receiver, DVD player, or CD player with a digital ouput, you can make use of an optical digital connecting
cord (not supplied) or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby
DigitaI sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or
coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver
provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g.
DVD, SAT, or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press FUNCTION and then rotate MULTIJOG to match your connection.
NOTE: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a
SAT receiver and DVD player. S-Video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video
(yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-Video or composite) that is connected
from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater.
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you need is just one more
optical digital connecting cord (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver
setting (see details on pg.18 chapter “Input Signal Setting”). You can enjoy better sound quality brought to you by the optical
cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still needed for recording to tape output.
NOTE: This receiver has one digital optical jack only. Be sure that such connection does not prevent optical cable connection of
other components (e.g. DVD & SAT)
NOTE: If you have a video
camera, video game
machine, or an extra VCR,
connect it to VCR 2 jack at the
front of the receiver.
