Connecting VCRs or DVRs
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC 
outlet.
Connect the video out of your VCR/DVR using either S video or composite video cords, depending on how you 
connected the receiver to your TV (see page 16). Use analog audio cords for the audio signal. To record, you 
also need to connect a set of audio/video outputs from the receiver to the audio/video inputs on your VCR/
DVR. Note that to record video from a source component, the video connection from the source to the 
receiver and from the receiver to the recorder must be the same type.
Connecting a Video Component to the Front Panel
Connect a portable DVD player, video game console or any video component to the front panel as show here. 
Front video connections are accessed via the front panel input selector as VIDEO. You cannot assign the 
digital input on the front panel.
VCR/DVD recorder
   VCR
Be careful! For portable DVD players you will need a 
specialized optical cord (for the audio) that has a mini 
optical plug on one end and a regular optical plug on 
the other.
