8 REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
Rear Panel Connections
B
Video Monitor Outputs: Connect these
jacks to the composite and/or S-Video input of a
TV monitor or video projector to view the output
of any video source selected by the receiver’s
video switcher.
C
Front/Center Speaker Outputs: Connect
these outputs to the matching + or – terminals
on your front/center speakers. When making
speaker connections, always make certain to
maintain correct polarity by connecting the red
(+) terminals on the AVR to the red (+) terminals
on the speaker and the black (–) terminals on
the AVR to the black (–) terminals on the
speakers. (See page 12 for more information on
speaker polarity.)
D
Surround Speaker Outputs: Connect
these outputs to the matching + or – terminals
on your left and right surround speakers. When
making speaker connections always make cer-
tain to maintain correct polarity by connecting
the red (+) terminals on the AVR to the red (+)
terminals on the speakers and the black (–)
terminals on the AVR to the black (–) terminals
on the speakers. See page 12 for more
information on speaker polarity.
E
Monitor Component Video Outputs:
Connect these outputs to the component video
inputs of a video projector or monitor.When a
source connected to one of the two
Component Video Inputs
8F
is selected
the signal will be sent to these jacks.
F
Video 1 Component Video Inputs:
Connect the Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs of
a DVD player to these jacks.
Note: All component inputs/outputs can be
used for RGB signals too, in the same way as
described for the Y/Pr/Pb signals, then connected
to the jacks with the corresponding color.
RGB connection is not possible if the source
outputs a separate sync signal (see page 13).
G
AC Power Cord: Connect the AC plug to an
unswitched AC wall output.
H
DVD Video Inputs: Connect these jacks to
the composite or S-Video output jacks on a DVD
player or other video source.
I
Video 1 Video Outputs: Connect these
jacks to the RECORD/INPUT composite or
S-Video jack on a VCR.
J
Video 2 Audio Inputs: Connect these jacks
to the PLAY/OUT audio jacks on a VCR or other
video source.
K
Video 2 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks
to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on
a second VCR or other video source.
L
Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical
digital output from a DVD player, HDTV receiver,
LD player, MD player or CD player to these jacks.
The signal may be either a Dolby Digital signal, a
DTS signal or a standard PCM digital source.
M
Video 1 Video Inputs: Connect these jacks
to the PLAY/OUT composite or S-Video jacks on
a TV or other video source.
Note: Either the Video or S-Video output of any
S-Video source must be connected to the
AVR, not both in parallel, otherwise the video
may be disturbed or its performance be
adversely effected.
N
6-Channel Direct Inputs: These jacks are
used for connection to source devices such as
DVD-Audio or SACD players with discrete analog
outputs.
