V ideo 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 a
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).
Front video connection are accessed via the front
panel input selector as “VIDEO.”
7 Audio/Video cords
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect
the video components and a video cord to
connect the monitor TV. Connect red
plugs to R (right),
white plugs to L
(left), and the
yellow plugs to
VIDEO.
Be sure to insert
completely.
VSX-709RDS only
If your video components have S-video
jacks, you could use S-video cords (not
supplied) to the S-video connector on the
front and rear of the receiver.
However, if you use S-video cords for
your video hookups you must also hook
up your TV with S-video connections.
Conversely, if you use regular composite
video cords for video hookups, you
should use them for your TV as well.
