Audio/Video Connections

Before connecting your Receiver to your source components
and speakers, please read through the next few pages which
will explain all the input and output connectivity that is
available. The 'Speakers' section explains how to connect up
your speakers to avoid damage to the amplifier and how to
arrange your speakers for best performance.
General
The inputs are named to make it easier to reference
connected devices (e.g. ' ' or ' '). They all have the same
input circuit, so there is no reason why you should not
connect a different device to any of the inputs. For example,
if you had two BD players and the AV input was not being
used, then the second BD player could be connected to the
AV input.
When connecting a video source, its audio must be
connected to the corresponding sockets. For example, if you
had a satellite decoder plugged into a video input, the
audio must be connected to the audio inputs!

Making Connections

Take care to place cables as far from any power
supply cabling as is practicable, to reduce hum and
other noise problems.
NOTE: For each input, you must set the 'Video
Source' and 'Audio Source' settings according to the
connection type. (see "Input Config." on page EN-31)
