Connecting the multichannel analog
outputs
For DVD Audio and SACD playback, your DVD
player may have 5.1 channel analog outputs. In
this case, you can connect them to the multi-
channel analog outputs to the multichannel
inputs of this receiver as shown below.

The illustration shows the VSX-918V, but
connections for the VSX-818V are the same.
Connecting a satellite receiver
or other digital set-top box
Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial
digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called
‘set-top boxes’.
1
Connect a set of audio/video outputs on
the set-top box component to the TV/SAT
AUDIO and VIDEO inputs on this receiver.
2
Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the audio
connection and a standard RCA video cable
for the video connection.

If your set-top box has a digital output,
connect it to a digital input on this receiver.
The example shows an optical connection to
the
DIGITAL OPT 2 (TV/SAT)
input.
4
The illustration shows the VSX-918V, but
connections for the VSX-818V are the same.

2 If you’ve already connected your TV to the
TV/SAT
inputs, simply choose another input. However, to receive a signal, you’ll
need to press the input select button for the input you connected the set-top box to.
3 See
Using the component video jacks
on page 16 if your set-top box also has a component video output.
4 If your set-top box only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to the coaxial input on this receiver using a coaxial digital
audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see
The
Input Assign menu
on page 64).
