Connecting Audio Components; Connecting Dvd 5.1 Channel Components - Pioneer VSX-D510 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting Audio Components

To begin set up, connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections and
your analog audio components (like a cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components you want to
record with, you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for components that
only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use Digital source features you must hook
up your digital components to the digital inputs but it is also a good idea to hook up your digital components to
analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components, you
must hook up your digital equipment with these analog connections. See p.6 for more on digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
from the wall outlet.
The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

or Cassette deck
Cassette deck placement
Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise may occur during playback of your cassette deck which is
caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck farther
away from the receiver.

Connecting DVD 5.1 Channel Components

DVD and LD discs are compatible with both 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output formats. Connections can be
made from a DVD, multi-channel decoder equipped with 5.1 analog outputs to the 5.1 analog inputs on this unit.
Always make sure that the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making or changing any
connections.
