Connecting up

Connecting DVD 5.1 channel components

If you prefer to use a seperate component for decoding DVDs, you can connect a decoder or a DVD
player with multi-channel analog outputs to the multi-channel inputs of this receiver.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
The 5.1 channel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 34).

Connecting video components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components
(like a DVD player), you must use the connections pictured 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
14). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see
page 14).
For better quality video, you can hook up using the S-video jacks on the rear of the receiver instead
of the regular video jacks (VSX-D512 only). Make sure you use an S-video cable to connect to the S-
video jack on the component you are hooking up (see page 13).
When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
