Connecting video components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components
(like a DVD player), you must use the connections shown 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 17). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio
connections (see page 18).
For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks
(quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks.
Make sure they are connected to the video component using the same kind of connection.
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 signal

* The illustration shows the VSX-D812/D912, but connections for the VSX-D712 are the same.

Connecting to the front panel video

terminal

Front video connections are accessed via the
front panel using the VIDEO button. There are
standard audio/video jacks as well as an
S-video jack (the VSX-D912 also has an optical
input). Hook them up the same way you made
the rear panel connections.
