The 5.1 channel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 CH is selected (see page 28).

Connecting video components

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 12). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 12).

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-D511 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 11).

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