These terminals are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a
component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, or a multi-
channel Super Audio CD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder.
The video signal connection is the same as that for a DVD player ( page 8).
For instructions on playback using the external input (EXT. IN) terminals ( page 63).
With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, 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-3806’s EXT. IN terminals for playback. Also refer to your DVD
player’s operating instructions.
Connecting a DBS tuner
For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your DBS tuner. S-Video and
composite video outputs are also provided.
To connect the digital audio output from the 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 63).
