Connect an optical digital audio output from the
recorder to the DIGITAL 5 (DVR/VCR1) input on this
receiver.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.
• If your recorder only has a coaxial digital output, you
can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this
receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When
you set up the receiver you'll need to tell the receiver
which input you connected the recorder to (see also
Assigning the digital inputs on page 88).
• The digital outputs from other recorders can be
connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this
receiver. You can assign them when setting up the
receiver (see also Assigning the digital inputs on
page 88).
Note
• If your video component doesn't have a digital audio
output, omit step 3 above.
• In order to record, you must connect the analog
audio cables (the digital connection is for playback
only).
