•For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your VCR. S-Video and
composite video outputs are also provided.
•If you wish to perform analog dubbing from a digital source, such as a DVD recorder to an analog
recorder such as a cassette deck, you will need to connect the analog inputs and outputs as
shown below, in addition to the digital audio connections.
•The digital inputs and outputs connection is the same as that for a CD (MD) recorder.
NOTE:
•When recording to a VCR, it is necessary that the type of cable used with the playback source
equipment be the same type that is connected to the AVR-786 VCR OUTPUT terminal.
Example: VCR IN →S-Video cable : VCR OUT →S-Video cable
VCR IN →Video cable : VCR OUT →Video cable
Connecting a tape deck
•If humming noise is generated, move the tape deck further away from the source of such noise.
Connecting a CD recorder or MD recorder
If you wish to perform analog dubbing from a digital source, such as a CD or MD recorder to an
analog recorder such as a tape deck, you will need to connect the analog inputs and outputs as
shown below, in addition to the digital audio connections.
NOTE:
•Do not connect the output of the component connected to the OPTICAL 2 OUT terminal on
the AVR-786’s rear panel to any terminal other than the OPTICAL 2 IN terminal ( page 39).
