Connecting the Receiver
To connect your receiver to your network and home entertainment devices, complete
these steps.
Because the connections
for a high-definition (HD)
or standard-definition (SD)
TV are different, you must
1
determine if your TV is HD
or SD. Your TV must
receive HD signals for
you to enjoy the benefits of HDTV. Refer to the manual that came with your
TV for more information.
See page 26 for more information on picture formats.
Make one of the following connections for your home network:
• If your home network uses coaxial cable, use the TO WALL connector
on the receiver. See page 11.
2
• If your home network uses twisted pair cable (phoneline wiring), use
the TO WALL connector on the receiver and an adapter that converts
twisted pair to coaxial. See page 11.
• If your home network uses Ethernet (CAT-5) cable, use the NETWORK
connector on the receiver. See page 11.
Make the connections for your TV, VCR, and DVD recorder as follows:
• If you are using an HDTV, see page 12 and the connection diagrams in
this manual.
3
• If you are using a standard-definition TV, see page 13 and the
connection diagrams in this manual.
• If you want to record some programs on VCR tape or DVD, see page
14 and the connection diagrams in this manual.
Identify the additional
consumer electronic devices
you will connect to the
4
receiver and TV. See pages
15 through 23 and refer to
the owner's manual for the
device.
Plug the receiver and the TV into an AC power source that is not
controlled by a switch.
