• 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).
