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
LaserDiscs 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 shown on the next 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 video signal.
Connecting DVD players
Connecting VCRs or DVRs
Connecting Your Equipment
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 you DVD
manual for details.
Front video connections are
accessed via the front panel input
selector as "VIDEO."
If your video components have S-video jacks, you could use
S-video cords (not supplied) to connect them on the back of
the receiver. These jacks are labeled by the Japanese designation
"S2" on the VSX-35TX but they are simply S-video jacks.
if you use S-video cords for your video hook ups you must also hook
up your TV with S-video connections. This holds true with all cord
types. If you use regular composite video cords for video hook ups,
you should use them for your TV as well. If you use the high-grade
component video cords for your video connection you must use
them for your TV hook up as well (some TVs may not be able to do
this).
