Video Components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding a DVD there are two types of
connections to make. Hook up your video signal with either component video (not possible for the VSX-
839RDS), S-video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but remember, the video
component you are watching and your TV must be hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't be able
to see the picture. For the audio signal, order to use Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG you must hook up a digital input. It
is also a good idea to hook up your DVD components with analog audio connections as well, since some DVDs
may not have a digital audio track. To cover all possible laser discs a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an
analog connection and two digital connections (a coaxial or optical and a specialized RF demodulator connection,
as explained on the previous page).
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
wall outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the audio & video signal.

Connecting Your Equipment
Front panel video connections are accessed
with the MULTI JOG dial as VIDEO.
(This illustration is for the VSX-859RDS only).
If you hook up your DVD
player using component
video connections be sure
to select component video
output on your DVD player
as well. See your DVD
manual for details.
If your video components have S-video jacks,
you could use S-video cords (not supplied) to
connect them to the S-VIDEO jack on the front panel or
the back of the receiver.
However, if you use S-video cords for your video hook
ups you must also hook up your TV with S-video
connections. Conversely, if you use regular composite
video cords for video hook ups, you should use them for
your TV as well.
