Using The Component Video Jacks; Connecting Digital Audio Sources - Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K 7 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting your equipment
3 If the device can output digital audio, connect an
1
optical-type digital audio output from the recorder to
the OPTICAL IN 2 (DVR1) input.
Use an optical cable for the connection.

Using the component video jacks

Component video should give superior picture quality
when compared to composite. You can also take
advantage of progressive scan video (if your source and
TV are both compatible), 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.

Note
1 • In order to record, you must connect the analog audio cables (the digital connection is for playback only).
• If your video component doesn't have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
2 If your recorder 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 recorder to (see also The Input Setup menu on page 67).

source to a set of ASSIGNABLE COMPONENT VIDEO
inputs.
Connect using a three-way component video cable.
• Since they are assignable, it doesn't matter which
component video inputs you use for which source.
After connecting everything, you'll need to assign the
component video inputs—see The Input Setup menu
on page 67.

Connecting digital audio sources

This receiver has both digital inputs and outputs,
allowing you to connect digital audio components for
playback and for making digital recordings.
Most digital components also have analog connections.
See Connecting analog audio sources on page 20 if you
want to connect these too.
