INSTALLATION
AVR 354
Figure 26 – Connecting a Composite or S-Video Recorder
• To make 2-channel digital audio recordings, connect the recorder’s
digital audio output to one of the Optical or Coaxial Inputs, and con-
nect the AVR’s Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the recorder’s coaxial
input. The AVR will convert an optical digital audio input signal to the
proper format for recording via the Coaxial Digital Audio Output. See
Figure 26.
Connect a Cable TV, Satellite, HDTV or Other Set-Top
Box for Broadcast Television
NOTE: If the TV has a digital audio output, connect it to one of
the digital audio inputs. If you use a direct cable connection to
your TV, or an antenna connection with the TV’s internal tuner,
connect either the TV’s digital audio output (if available) or its analog
audio outputs to the AVR. See Step Five for information on
connecting the receiver’s video monitor outputs to the television.
HDMI Video:
If the set-top box and the TV both have an HDMI
connector, connect the set-top box as follows (see Figure 24):
• Connect the set-top’s HDMI output to the HDMI 1, 2 or 3 Input
on the AVR.
Component Video:
If the set-top box or the TV does not have an
HDMI connector, but they both have component video connectors,
connect the set-top box as follows (see Figure 25):
• Connect the set-top’s component video output to the Component
Video 1, 2 or 3 Input on the AVR (if available).
• Connect the set-top’s digital audio output to one of the Coaxial or
Optical Inputs on the AVR (if available).
Composite S/Video:
If the best video connection common to both
the set-top box and the TV is either S-video or composite video, follow
these steps (see Figure 27):
• Connect the set-top’s S-video or composite video output (use one
connection only) to the corresponding Video 1, 2 or 3 Input on the AVR.
• Connect the set-top’s digital audio output to one of the Coaxial or
Optical Inputs on the AVR (if available). For fully analog set-top boxes,
connect the box’s analog audio outputs to the AVR’s Analog 1, 2, 3,
4 or 5 Audio Inputs.
