2. Moving right, at the top, are three Component Video Inputs and one set of Component Video Outputs. Each input consists of a Red, Blue, and Green Connection. These inputs accommodate DVD players, and other devices The Component Video Output connects to a TV with a Component Video Input.
3. Just below the component video connections are connectors for external remote control sensors used in multi-room installations.
4. Moving down, and across the middle of the rear panel, there is a row of analog audio connections, including 6 and 8-channel inputs and outputs.
5. Above the analog video connetions are S-Video and Composite video, and analog audio inputs/outputs that can accept a VCR, DVD Recorder/VCR combo, or a standalone DVD recorder. Many receivers will have two sets of input/output loops. If you have a separate DVD Recorder and VCR, look for a Receiver that has two VCR connection loops; this will make cross-dubbing easier. Also in this connection group are the main S-Video and Composite video monitor outputs. AM/FM radio antenna connections are at the top, and to the right, of this section.
6. Just below the middle row of analog video connetions are the Digital Audio Coaxial and Optical Inputs. Also in this section is the iPod connection, which allows an iPod to be connnected to the receiver using a special cable or dock, the XM Radio Connection, and the Ethernet/Network connection.
7. In addition, to the right of the Ethernet/Network Connection, are two small expansion terminals used in custom installations and an RS232 port for control of the RX-V2700 via a desktop or laptop PC.
8. Next, there are the Speaker Terminals. These terminals are red (Positive) and black (Negative). This receiver has an abundance of terminals to accomodate several types of speaker setups, including 2nd and 3rd Zone speaker options.
9. Finally, to the right of the speaker terminals are the AC plug connector and two Switched AC Convenience Oulets. These outlets are active when the master power switch of the receiver is on.
