Connecting to a Stereo VCR or DVD Recorder (optional)
The diagram below shows how to connect a recording device to your receiver. Although it is possible to
watch TV using a connection through your VCR or DVD recorder to the TV, this connection may not
provide the best picture, and HDTV users are restricted to an SD format. In addition, some content is
copy protected and passing this content through the recording device may result in a picture that cannot
be viewed.
For these reasons, the connection shown is best used to provide only video and audio to your recording
device and not for normal TV viewing. The connection from the recording device to the TV (only
used for playback of recorded material) depends on the type of device being used, the outputs that are
supported, and the inputs that remain available for use on your TV.
Consult the owner’s manuals provided with your TV and recording device for more details on connection
options.
Cables Used in this Configuration
• 1 Mini-DIN cable
Connecting your TV directly to the Audio/Vido output of your set-top box will assure a more
vivid picture and enhance your viewing enjoyment.
WARNING: Electric shock hazard! Unplug all electronic devices before connecting or
disconnecting any device cables to the set-top box.
