2. Moving to the right, across the top of the rear panel, are the four HDMI inputs and one HDMI output.
3. Just below the HDMI connecions are the Sirius and XM Satellite Radio Tuner/Antenna connections (Paid subsription to either service needed for program access).
4. Moving back to the left, there are three Component Video inputs and one set of Component Video outputs. Each input consists of a Green, Blue, and Red Connection.
5. Moving to the right of the Component Video connections, are the analog S-Video and Composite video input and output connections, plus a Zone 2 video output.
6. Moving back to the left, and just below the Component and Analog Video connections, is the row of Analog audio input and outputs including connections for a phono Turntable, CD player, Tape Deck, CD, or MD Recorder, and Auxiliary device (such as a TV, cable, or satellite box), Video game, DVD or LD player, VCR or DVR, and a DVD player. You can also use the DVR/VCR audio connections for a DVD recorder, if you wish.
As you move farther right, there are input connections for Multi-Channel Analog Audio. This allows direct analog audio connections between a DVD/Blu-ray Disc/HD-DVD player using the 6-channel analog audio connection option. In addition, this connection group can be used to access SACD and DVD-Audio content as well.
Moving still further right, there are the Multi-Channel Preamp output connections. This allows the connection of external amplifiers to the TX-SR875. This is used in cases where the user prefers to bypass the internal amplifiers of the receiver and use higher-powered amplifiers, but still be controlled by the preamp functions of the TX-SR875.
NOTE: The purple colored connection labeled "subwoofer" is the output used when connecting a powered subwoofer to the SR875.
To the right of the Multi-Channel Preamp outputs, are two sets of Stereo Preamp outputs for 2nd and/or 3rd Zone system setups.
6. Lastly, along the entire bottom of the receiver, are the speaker connections. These connections are laid out in a very convenient horizontal arrangement that makes connecting speakers very easy.
