Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Video Sources
If you connect three video sources such as VCRs, laser disc players, or DVD
(digital video disc) players to your receiver, you can use the receiver to select
each video source. You can also use the receiver to easily record from the video
sources to the source connected to
VCR/TAPE 1
.
Connect phono cables from a VCR’s audio outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
IN
or
LD/SAT
IN
(audio) jacks. Then connect phono cables from the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
OUT
(audio) jacks to the VCR’s audio input jacks.
Connect video cables from each video source’s video outputs to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO IN
or
LD/SAT VIDEO IN
jacks. Then connect video cables from the
receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1 VIDEO OUT
jack to the VCR’s video input.
You can connect a third video source to the
DVD/TV IN
jacks. Connect the
source’s video output to the receiver’s
DVD/TV VIDEO IN
jack, and the source’s au-
dio outputs to the receiver’s
DVD/TV IN
(audio) jacks.
Connecting a Video Monitor
The monitor (or TV with baseband video input) you connect to the
VIDEO OUT
ter-
minal can monitor any source you connect to the receiver’s
VCR/TAPE 1
,
LD/SAT
,
or
DVD/TV
input jacks. Connect a video cable from the receiver’s
VIDEO OUT TO
MONITOR TV
jack to the monitor’s video input.
Note: If your VCR is monaural, use a Y-
adapter (available at your local Ra-
dioShack store) to connect the VCR’s
audio output to both the
L
and
R
audio in-
puts on the receiver.
