Connect Your Audio and Video Source Devices

Source devices are components where a playback signal originates, e.g. a Blu-ray Disc
or DVD player; a cable, satellite or HDTV tuner; etc. Your AVR has several different types of
input connectors for your audio and video source devices: HDMI, composite video, optical
digital audio, coaxial digital audio and analog audio. The connectors are not labeled for
specific types of source devices; they are labeled numerically, so you can connect your
devices according to your individual system's makeup.
Your AVR's various source buttons have default assignments to different input connectors
(listed in the "Default Connector(s)" column of the table below). For ease of setup, you
should connect each source device to the connector where the corresponding default
source button is assigned (e.g., connect your Blu-ray Disc player to HDMI 2).

However, you can connect your source devices as you wish and re-assign any of the
input connections to any of the Source Buttons listed in the table according to where you
actually connect each of your source devices.
As you connect your various source devices, fill out the "Connected Component" column
in the table – it will make it easier for you to assign the various source buttons after
you have completed making all of the connections. (You will make any changes to the
source-button assignments and fill in the "Assigned Connector(s)" column later in the
setup process.)
Note: You cannot assign connectors to the Network, Radio, TV and USB source buttons.
