Connecting video components

The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD player), you must use the connections pictured on this page for the video signal, but in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see page 14). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 14).

For better quality video, you can hook up using the S-video jacks on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks (VSX-D512 only). Make sure you use an S-video cable to connect to the S- video jack on the component you are hooking up (see page 13).

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