The illustration shows the VSX-918V, but connections for the VSX-818V are the same.

Note

1If your DVD player only has an optical digital output, you can connect it to the optical input on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the player to (see The Input Assign menu on page 64).

2This connection will allow you to make analog recordings from your DVD player.

3If your player also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 16 for more on this.

4See Using the component video jacks on page 16 if you want to use the component video outputs to connect this receiver to your TV.
