5 minute guide
Listening to Surround Sound
This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick
setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most
cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.
• Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to an AC power source.
1 Hook up your DVD player.
For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the DVD player to the
receiver. You can do this with either a coaxial (recommended), or an optical connection (you don’t
need to connect both). If you hook up using an optical cable, you should refer to
The Input Assign
menu
on page 75 to assign the optical input to
DVD
.
Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD player to the receiver using the jacks
shown below.
2 Hook up your TV.
Use a video cord to connect your receiver to the TV using the jacks as shown below.
* The illustration shows the VSX-915, but connections for the VSX-515/815 are the same.
