1The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 38).

2If you’ve already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, you’ll need to remember which input you connected the set-top box to.

3• VSX-817 model only – For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO TV/SAT jack.

• See Using the component video jacks on page 16 if your set-top box also has a component video output.

4If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, omit this step. If it only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Assign menu on page 45).

5In this case, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the TV to (see The Input Assign menu on page 45).
