Eltax AVR-800 - Manual (Page 9)

Connection
08
I f the video component is equipped with S-VI DEO jacks,
it is recommended that it be connected to the AVR-800
or directly to the television monitor using an S-VI DEO
cable. S-Video cables provide better picture clarity and
resolution. I f the video component is not equipped with
an S-VI DEO j ack, use a convent ional RCA t o RCA
composite cable to connect to the AVR-800 or directly
to the television.
The above illust rat ion shows how t o connect video
components to the AVR-800.
Note:
When connection more than one video component to the
AVR-800 (ie: VCR and DVD player) it is easier to use
either all S-Video cables or all RCA to RCA composite
cables. This allows both video signals (DVD and VCR) to
be sent through the AVR-800 to the TV monitor using
j ust one video input on t he TV ( S-Video or RCA) .
Regardless of the video component being played DVD or
VCR, the picture will always appear on the same video
input of the monitor.
When connect ing video component s such as DVD
players, cable boxes, satellite receivers and televisions,
you can use different types of cables depending on how
the video component is equipped.
Note:
When an optical cable is used, remove the protection
caps f rom t he component and AVR- 800 bef ore
attempting to insert the optical cable. I f not using an
optical cable or if the cable is removed, always re-install
t he prot ect ion caps t o prevent dir t and dust f rom
entering the inputs. I f using a coaxial digital cable, leave
the protection caps in both the video component and
AVR-800.

Video connections:
I f you use bot h S-Video and RCA composit e cables t o
connect different video components to the AVR-800, you
must also use both S-Video and RCA composite cables to
connect the TV monitor to the AVR-800.
For example, if you connect a DVD player to the AVR-800
using S-Video cable and a VCR using an RCA t o RCA
composit e cable, you must also connect t he TV t o t he
AVR-800 using both types of cables. This requires an S-
Video cable from the S-Video monitor out jack on the AVR-
800 to an S-Video input on the TV (ie. Video 1). In addition,
you must use an RCA composite cable from the composite
video monit or out j ack on t he AVR- 800 t o an RCA
composite video input on the TV but not the same input used
for the S-Video cable(ie: Video 2). Using this type of dual
cable video connection. you will need to switch the TV
video input source from TV to Video 1 to Video 2 depending
on the video source being played-TV, DVD or VCR.
Audio connections:
Some video component s are equipped wit h special
digit al audio out put s (ie: DVD players). I f your video
component is equipped with a digital audio output, it is
recommended that you connect to the AVR-800 using a
digital cable. Digital audio cables are required to use the
DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound modes. I f you do
not use digit al connect ions, t he AVR-800 will only
operate in Dolby Pro LogicI I , Dolby 3 Stereo, Hall, Theater
and Stadium surround modes.
There are two types of digital cables - coaxial (75 ohm) and
optical. The AVR-800 i s equipped with both types of digital
inputs. These inputs are labeled DIGITAL/DTS/PCM on the
rear of the unit. Connect the video component outputs to any
one of the three digital inputs on theAVR-800.
If the video component is not equipped with a digital output,
use a dual RCA to RCA composite audio cable to connect to
the AVR-800.
