Selecting the input signal type

The DVD, STB, DVR/TV and FRONT inputs all have both
analog and digital jacks. You can select the type of signal
to be used in each case. The input signal type for the
current input is indicated in the display: ANA (analog),
DIG (digital).
The default AUTO setting is usually sufficient, letting the
receiver decide the most suitable signal type. However, if
you want to record from the VIDEO IN/OUT AV
connector or the DVR/TV IN/OUT AV connector, then
you should set the input signal type to analog.
