Connecting A Tv With An Internal Digital Tuner; Connecting Video Components - Pioneer VSX-C550 Bedienungsanleitung

Connecting Your Equipment
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.

Connecting a TV with an Internal Digital Tuner

If you have an TV with an internal digital tuner follow the directions above for an external digital tuner and in
addition hook up your TV, if you have not already done so when you hooked up your DVD player (see the previous
page). Make sure you use a digital connection as well as an analog one for the audio, as pictured below.
Match the shape
of terminal and
the optical plug.

Connecting Video Components

Connect your video components to the terminals as shown below.
If you have a Digital Video Recorder (a DVR) you need to connect it digitally to either the optical digital terminals or
the coaxial digital terminal in order to play and/or record multichannel sound. The quality of these two types of
connection is the same so it' s simply a matter of matching like with like and using the available terminal(s) after
you've hooked up your DVD player and cable/satellite/TV tuner.
Basically the easiest way to connect a DVR is to follow this receiver' s default settings and connect your cable/satellite
tuner (or TV/SAT as it' s called on the remote control) and DVR to optical terminals 1 and 2 respectively, and connect
the DVD to the coaxial terminal.
If this isn't possible due to the types of terminals each component is equipped with, then you need to figure out
which component will be used for the coaxial terminal and assign it properly (see p. 31). After that follow the optical
terminal defaults (as below).
If you connected the coaxial terminal to DVD and thus left it on the default DVD setting the optical terminals default
settings are:
OPT. 1: TV/SAT
OPT. 2: DVR
If you assigned the coaxial terminal to TV/SAT the optical terminals default settings are:
OPT. 1: DVD
OPT. 2: DVR
All video decks (both DVRs and VCRs) should be hooked up with analog connections as well. If you want to record
programs it is necessary to connect to the DVR/VCR IN AUDIO terminals as shown next page.
