Connecting your TV

This page shows you how to connect your TV to the
receiver. To be able to play the sound from the TV's built-
in tuner, connect the analog audio outputs from your TV
to this receiver.
If your TV has a built-in digital decoder, you can connect
the digital audio output to this receiver to enjoy Dolby
Digital and DTS sound from digital TV broadcasts.
1 Connect the MONITOR OUT video jack on this
receiver to a video input on your TV.
Make sure you don't connect to the MONITOR OUT
connection for MULTI ROOM & SOURCE.
• You can use a standard RCA video cable to connect
to the composite video jack, or for higher quality
video, you can use an S-video cable to connect to the
S-video jack (S-VIDEO).
• See Using the component video jacks on page 24 if
you want to use the component video outputs to
connect this receiver to your TV.

• See About the video converter on page 16 if you plan
on connecting your other video components using
different types of video cables than for your TV.
2 Connect the analog audio outputs from your TV
to the TV/SAT inputs on this receiver.
• Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the connection.
3 Connect an optical digital audio output from
your TV to the DIGITAL 1 (TV/SAT) input on this
receiver.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.
• If your TV only has a coaxial digital output, you can
connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver
using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up
the receiver you'll need to tell the receiver which
input you connected the TV to (see Assigning the
digital inputs on page 77).
Note
• If your TV doesn't have a digital audio output, omit
step 3 above.
