Connecting your equipment
This receiver provides you with almost limitless possibilities for connecting your audio/video system, but it doesn’t
have to be difficult. Depending on your needs, you could be up and running in no time after a few simple connections.
This section has been designed so that you can read through this short introduction, then jump to the specific
connections that you need to make. For a basic home theater setup, you may only need to look through the TV, DVD
and speaker connections.
