Front speaker Systems Precautions when connecting speakers: If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by the speakers magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position where it does not cause this effect.
Surround back speaker Systems NOTE: When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel.
Easy Setup and Operation For best picture quality (especially with progressive DVD and other high definition sources), choose the component video or HDMI connection to your monitor TV. S-Video and composite video outputs are also provided if your TV does not have component video inputs.

Monitor TV

Connecting a DVD player and monitor TV
To connect the video output from the DVD player to the AVR-3806, you only need to choose one connection type. Component video connection offers the best quality (and is required for progressive DVD playback), followed by S-Video, while composite video offers the lowest picture quality of the three connection types. For more information about the video up conversion function ( page 15). The AVR-3806 is equipped with HDMI connectors, so it can be connected to a DVD player or monitor TV using an HDMI cable. To connect the digital audio output from the DVD player, you can choose from either the coaxial or optical connections. If you choose to use the optical connection, it needs to be assigned. For more information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 63). The AVR-3806 is equipped with another set of input terminals for a non-DVD Video Disc Player (such as laser disc, VCD/SVCD, or future high definition disc player). The above connection guidelines for DVD also apply to the VDP input.
