DVD Multichannel Connection
If your DVD player supports multichannel audio formats
such as SACD and DVD-Audio, and it has a multichan-
nel analog audio output, you can enjoy those formats.
Use a multichannel analog audio cable to connect the
TX-L55’s DVD MULTI CH IN FR, FL, SL, SR, C, and
SW sockets to the multichannel analog audio output on
your DVD player, as shown. Alternatively, use three
standard analog audio cables.
Note:
• If your DVD player has 5.1-channel, and 2-channel
analog audio output sockets, and you intend to con-
nect it to only the TX-L55's DVD MULTI CH IN FL/
RL sockets, use the DVD player's 2-channel analog
audio output sockets.
You can watch videos by connecting your VCR to the
TX-L55.
Video Connections
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
S VIDEO 1 IN to the S-Video output on your VCR, as
shown.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the TX-L55’s
V VIDEO 1 IN to a composite video output on your
VCR, as shown.
An S-Video connection provides better picture quality
than a composite video connection.
Audio Connections
• Use an analog audio cable to connect the TX-L55’s
VIDEO 1 IN L/R inputs to the analog audio outputs on
your VCR, as shown.
