Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top
of this unit. If this happens, the magnetic field
produced by the transformers in this unit may
cause a humming noise from the speakers.
Important
• Before making or changing any connections,
switch off the power and disconnect the
power cord from the AC outlet.
• Before unplugging the power cord, switch
the power into standby.
Analog audio cables
Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect
analog audio components. These cables are
typically red and white, and you should
connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals
and white plugs to L (left) terminals.
Digital audio cables
Commercially available coaxial digital audio
cables or optical cables should be used to
connect digital components to this receiver.

Video cables
Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of
video connection and should be used to
connect to the composite video terminals. They
have yellow plugs to distinguish them from
cables for audio.
S-video cables
VSX-817 model only
S-video cables give you a clearer picture
reproduction than standard RCA video cables
by sending separate signals for the luminance
and color.
Component video cables
Use component video cables to get the best
possible color reproduction of your video
source. The color signal of the TV is divided into
the luminance (
Y
) signal and the color (
P
B
and
P
R
) signals and then output. In this way,
interference between the signals is avoided.
Note
1 • When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial digital connections.
