Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting VCRs or DVRs

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 p.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.
