INSTALLATION • Connect the recorder's optical digital audio output to the Optical 2 Input on the AVR (if available). • Then go to "Composite/S-Video" below to make recordings, as the AVR 154 cannot make recordings from copy-protected component video sources or digital audio (except 2-channel) sources. AVR 154 Figure 24 - Connecting a Component-Video-Equipped Recorder Composite/S-Video: If the best video connection common to both the recorder and the TV is either S-video or composite video, or to make recordings, follow these steps, using only one type of video connection throughout (see Figure 25): • Connect the recorder's S-video/composite video output to the Video 1 S-Video/Composite Video Input on the AVR. • Connect the recorder's S-video/composite video input to the Video 1 S-Video/Composite Video Output on the AVR. • Connect the recorder's analog audio outputs to the Video 1 Audio Inputs on the AVR. • Connect the recorder's analog audio inputs to the Video 1 Audio Outputs on the AVR. AVR 154 Connect a Cable TV, Satellite, HDTV or Other Set-Top Box for Broadcast Television NOTE: If you receive your television programming using your TV with an antenna or direct cable connection, connect the TV's analog audio outputs to the Video 3 Analog Audio Inputs. If the TV has a digital audio output, connect it to one of the frontpanel digital audio inputs. Do not connect any video output on the television set to any video input on the receiver. See Step Five for information on connecting the receiver's video monitor outputs to the television. HDMI Video: If the set-top box and the TV both have an HDMI connector, connect the set-top box as follows (see Figure 26): • Connect the set-top's HDMI output to the HDMI 3 Input on the AVR. • Connect the set-top's optical digital audio output to the Optical 1 Input on the AVR (if available).
