Connecting your equipment 03 Chapter 3 Connecting your equipment This receiver provides you with almost limitless possibilities for connecting your audio/video system, but it doesn't have to be difficult. Depending on your needs, you could be up and running in no time after a few simple connections. This section has been designed so that you can read through this short introduction, then jump to the specific connections that you need to make. For a basic home theater setup, you may only need to look through the TV, DVD and speaker connections.
