Video 1 Source
Since this source includes audio and video recording output jacks, it is
best suited to a video recorder, such as your VCR or DVR.
Referring to Table 2, connect your recorder to the Video 1 Analog Audio
inputs and outputs and to either the Coax 2 or Optical 2 digital audio
input (and corresponding digital audio output). Use either the Video 1
S-video or composite video input and output if you wish to make
recordings. If you don’t plan on recording, you may use the Component
Video 2 inputs.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: It’s possible for a source to use none of the connections
named for that source. For example, you might connect your
DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1
digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as
“DVD”, and in Step Five of the Initial Setup section you will pro-
gram the receiver so that these connections are assigned to the
DVD source. When you select “DVD” as your source using the
front panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD
player will be used.
We recommend connecting your various sources using the connections
shown in Table 2 below in order to simplify programming your receiver
and remote control. However, you may connect any device to any
source input.
