this receiver.

input.

The illustration shows the VSX-817, but
connections for the VSX-517 are the same.
Using the component video jacks
Component video should deliver superior
picture quality when compared to composite
video. A further advantage (if your source and
TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan
video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free
picture. See the manuals that came with your
TV and source component to check whether
they are progressive-scan video compatible.
Note
1 •
VSX-817 model only –
For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the
S-VIDEO
DVR/VCR IN
jack.
• If your video component also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See
Using the component video jacks
on page 16 for more on this.
2
VSX-817 model only –
For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using the
S-VIDEO
DVR/VCR OUT
jack.
3 If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio output, omit this step. If it only has an optical digital output, you can con-
nect it to the optical input on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver
which input you connected the component to (see
The Input Assign menu
on page 45).
