Connecting Vcrs Or Dvrs; Connecting A Video Component To The Front Panel - Pioneer Elite VSX-53TX Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting Your Equipment

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.

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.
