Connecting Vcrs Or Dvrs; Connecting A Video Component To The Front Panel - Pioneer Elite VSX-43TX Operating Instructions Manual

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 15). 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.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
