Connecting DVD multi-channel components
If you prefer to use a seperate component for decoding DVDs, you can connect a decoder or a
DVD player with multi-channel analog outputs to the multi-channel inputs of this receiver.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
*
The illustration shows the VSX-D812, but connections for the VSX-D712 are the same.
• The multi-channel input can only be used when
DVD 5.1 ch
(or
DVD 7.1 ch
) is selected (see
page 43).
• If the component you are connecting (to the VSX-D812) only has one surround back channel
output, change the Surround back channel input setting (page 50) to
SB 1ch IN
.
