Connecting Your Equipment
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, 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 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 2 RF connection shown at the very top of the first diagram below).
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the video signal.

Connecting DVD/LD players
Connecting VCRs or DVRs
If your video components have S-video jacks, you
could use S-video cords (not supplied) to connect
them on the back of the amplifier. These jacks are
labeled by the Japanese designation "S" on the
VSA-E08 but they are simply S-video jacks.
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.
7 Front
Front video connections are accessed via the
front panel input selector as "VIDEO."
memo
If you hook up your DVD/LD
player using component video
connections be sure to select
component video output on
your DVD player as well. See
you DVD manual for details.
