Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting Video Components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use the analog connections pictured on this page for the video signal but in order to use Digital source you should hook up their audio to a digital input (see the next page). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections as well (see the previous page). To cover all possible laser discs a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection (as shown here) and two digital connections (see the next page).

When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

memo VSX-D509S only

If your video components have S-video jacks, you could use S-video cords (not supplied) to connect them on the back of the receiver.

However, if you use S-video cords for your video hook ups you must also hook up your TV with S- video connections. Conversely, if you use regular composite video cords for video hook ups, you should use them for your TV as well.
