All About A/V Receivers

What's the difference in COMPU LINK and A/V COMPU LINK?

COMPU LINK refers specifically to audio components, for example, cassette decks or CD players. A/V COMPU LINK refers to VCR, TV and some receivers. A receiver may be COMPU LINK but not A/V COMPU LINK. The feature difference? Each flavor of COMPU LINK allows components to "talk" to each other with easy operation from the remote control. However, with A/V COMPU LINK the user can also control video components as well. In addition, a user can "turn-on" their entire Home Theater System by simply pushing a prerecorded videotape into their VCR.

When I use A/V COMPU LINK, why does my TV always pick video input 2?

The TV has an S-Video input on input 1. The receiver you are using has no S-Video Jacks. The receiver communicates this to the TV, which picks input 2. It does this because a S-VHS VCR or laser disc player may be connected to input one. Therefore, simply connect your video source to input 2.

I get a big black square box covering 90% of my picture.

This is not channel guard or a malfunction. This is a function of the closed caption circuit available for future use called text mode. Simply press close the caption button on the TV remote until the square disappears.

I cannot get Surround Sound.

Surround sound requires a stereo source. A VCR cannot transmit stereo via channel 3 or 4 to a Television. It can only transmit stereo through the left and right audio inputs of the VCR. These may be connected directly to a surround sound receiver or to a television with audio/video inputs and outputs. When connecting to the Television audio and video inputs, make sure to connect the TV's audio input to the audio out on the Receiver. Also with this connections remember to put TV in video mode, not on channel 3 or 4.
