Connecting video components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components (like a
DVD player), you must use one of the connections shown on the next page for the video signal, but
in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see
page 14). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections
(see page 15).
For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks
(quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks (see the
second illustration of the following page). Make sure they are connected to the video component
using the same kind of connection. However, you don’t need to make more than one type of video
connection.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the AC wall outlet.
Connecting DVD 7.1 channel components
If you prefer to use a separate component for decoding DVDs, you can connect a decoder or a DVD
player with multichannel analog outputs to the multichannel inputs of this receiver.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

DVD/multichannel decoder with
7.1 channel analog output jacks
The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
• The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 7.1 CH is selected (see page 35).
• If the component you are connecting only has one surround back channel output, change the
Surround back channel input setting (page 40) to SB 1ch IN.
