INSTALLATION
NOTE: It's possible for a source to use none of the connections
named for that source. For example, you might connect your
DVD player to the Component Video 1 inputs and the Coax 1
digital audio input. However, we will refer to this source as
"DVD, " and in the Initial Setup section you will program the
receiver so that these connections are assigned to the DVD
source. When you select "DVD" as your source using the front
panel or the remote, the correct connections for your DVD
player will be used.
