Connecting your TV and DVD player
1 Connect your DVD player to the receiver.
Connect a 21-pin SCART cable (not supplied) between
the AV output of your DVD player and the
DVD IN AV
connector of this receiver for the video and analog audio.
(See
Specifications on page 42 for the pin assignment.)
For digital audio, connect a coaxial digital audio cable
(not supplied) between your DVD player’s coaxial digital
output and the
DVD(STB) COAX jack on this receiver.
• If your DVD player doesn’t have a coaxial digital out
you can use an optical cable connected between the
optical output jack on your DVD player and the
STB(DVD) OPT1 jack on this receiver. However, you
will have to reassign the input to DVD before using
for the first time. See
Optical input setting on page 32
for how to do this.
• If you connect an optical digital cable, be careful
when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter
protecting the optical socket.
2 Connect your TV to the receiver.
Use a 21-pin SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the
DVR/TV IN/OUT AV connector on this receiver to a
SCART input on your TV.
3 Connect the supplied AC power cable to the AC
IN on this receiver and plug in the other end to a
power outlet.
Switching on and playing a DVD
Once you switch the receiver on it will automatically
detect the speakers you have connected. Although there
are a number of more detailed settings you can make to
optimize the surround sound, you should be able to get
acceptable surround sound performance right away.
1 Switch on your TV and powered subwoofer.
Also make sure that your TV is set to the AV input you
connected the receiver to.
2 Switch on your DVD player.
When you do this, the receiver should automatically
switch on with
DVD selected as the input source.
3 Load a DVD and start playback.
This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital,
DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to
your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to
make changes for realistic surround sound.
Other possibilities (like listening to a CD with
multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Home
theater sound on page 23.
4 Use the MASTER VOLUME control (front panel or
remote) to adjust the volume.
• Turn down your TV’s volume so that you only hear
sound from this system.
