Connecting Digital Components - Pioneer VSX-D514 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting up

Connecting digital components

The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input. You can do
this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these
two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of
digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial output from the
component to coaxial input on the receiver).
The VSX-D514/D714 has three digital inputs on the rear panel (two coaxial inputs and an optical
input) and the VSX-D814 has four (two coaxial inputs and two optical inputs). Connect your
digital components to the rear panel as shown below.
• VSX-D714/D814 only – There is one digital output jack which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you
connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and
CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the digital audio signal.
