Using the component video jacks

VSX-815/915 model only

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.

Connecting to the front panel video terminal

VSX-815/915 model only

Front video connections are accessed via the front panel using the VIDEO button. There are standard audio/video jacks as well as an S- video jack and an optical input. Hook them up the same way you made the rear panel connections.
