Connecting video components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown in the illustration. With digital video
components (like a DVD player), you must use the connections shown on this page for the video
signal, but in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital
input (see page 16). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio
connections (see page 17).
For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks
(quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks.
Make sure they are connected to the video component using the same kind of connection.
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.
Connecting to the front panel video
terminal
Front video connections are accessed via the
front panel using the
VIDEO
button. There are
standard audio/video jacks as well as an
S-video jack. Hook them up the same way you
made the rear panel connections.
