The illustration shows the VSX-817, but
connections for the VSX-517 are the same.
Connecting a satellite receiver
or other digital set-top box
Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial
digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called
'set-top boxes'.
Note
1 The multichannel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 38).
2 If you've already connected your TV to the TV/SAT inputs, simply choose another input. However, you'll need to remember
which input you connected the set-top box to.
3 • VSX-817 model only – For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the S-VIDEO TV/SAT jack.
• See Using the component video jacks on page 16 if your set-top box also has a component video output.
4 If your satellite/cable receiver doesn't have a digital audio output, omit this step. If it 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 set-top box to (see The Input Assign menu on page 45).
5 In this case, you'll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the TV to (see The Input Assign menu on page 45).
