• For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your VCR. S-Video and
composite video outputs are also provided.
• If you wish to perform analog dubbing from a digital source, such as a DVD recorder to an analog
recorder such as a cassette deck, you will need to connect the analog inputs and outputs as
shown below, in addition to the digital audio connections.
NOTE:
• When recording to a VCR recorder, it is necessary that the type of cable used with the
playback source equipment be the same type that is connected to the AVR-686 VCR OUTPUT
terminal.
Example: VCR IN → S-Video cable : VCR OUT → S-Video cable
VCR IN → Video cable : VCR OUT → Video cable
Connecting a tape deck, CD recorder or MD recorder
• If humming noise is generated, move the tape deck further away from the source of such noise.
