Chapter 3:
Connecting up
Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top
of this unit (as shown in the illustration). 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.
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.
Component video cables
(VSX-515 only)
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.
