Connecting an A/V Receiver, TV, and VCR
1 Connect an RF coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the
CABLE IN connector on the DCT*.
2 Connect a stereo audio cable to the AUDIO OUT R and L connectors
on the DCT* and the
INPUT R and L connectors on the A/V receiver.
3 Connect a video cable to the VIDEO OUT connector on the DCT* and
the
CABLE/TV VIDEO connector on the A/V receiver.
4 Connect a stereo audio cable to the VCR AUDIO OUT R and L
connectors on the A/V receiver and the
INPUT AUDIO R and L
connectors on the stereo VCR.
5 Connect a stereo audio cable to the OUTPUT AUDIO OUT R and L
connectors on the stereo VCR and the
VCR AUDIO IN R and L
connectors on the A/V receiver.
6 Connect a video cable to the INPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo
VCR and the
VIDEO VCR OUT connector on the A/V receiver.
7 Connect a video cable to the OUTPUT VIDEO connector on the stereo
VCR and the
VIDEO VCR IN connector on the A/V receiver.

If your equipment supports it, the optical (
OPTICAL SPDIF) or coaxial
(
SPDIF) audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs
(
AUDIO R and L). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio
quality, including support for 5.1 surround sound.
If your equipment supports it, S-video connections may be used in place
of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases, S-video offers a
higher level of standard definition video quality than RCA video.
The optional connections marked with an * allow you to use the DCT*
and TV without powering-on the VCR and A/V Receiver:
• Connect an RF coaxial cable to the
TO TV/VCR connector on the
DCT* and the
CABLE/ANTENNA IN connector on the stereo VCR.
• Connect an RF coaxial cable to the
TO TV connector on the stereo
VCR and the
CABLE/ANTENNA IN connector on the stereo TV.
The video connection method does not support high definition video. For
more information, see “Connecting your DCT* to an HDTV – Video Only”
on page 16.
