•To connect the digital audio output from the TV or DBS tuner, you can choose from either the
coaxial or optical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial connection, it needs to be
assigned. For more information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 39).
• Precaution when using S-terminals
This unit’s S-terminals (input and output) and video pin terminals (input and output) have
independent circuit structures, so that video signals input from the S-terminals are only output
from the S-terminal outputs and video signals input from the pin terminals are only output from
the pin terminal outputs.
When connecting this unit with equipment that is equipped with S-terminals, keep the above
point in mind and make connections according to the equipment’s instruction manuals.
• The signals input to the color difference (component) video terminals are not output from the
VIDEO output terminal (yellow) or the S-Video output terminal.
Connecting a video camera or video game
• These terminals are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an external decoder, or a
component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, a multi-
channel Super Audio CD player, or another future multi-channel sound format decoder.
• The video signal connection is the same as that for a DVD player.
• For instructions on playback using the external input (EXT. IN) terminals ( page 14).
•With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, the digital signals
may not be output from the DVD player. In this case, connect the DVD player’s analog multi-
channel output to the AVR-1706’s EXT. IN terminals for playback. Also refer to your DVD player’s
operating instructions.
