AVR Making Connections 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.
