Video Components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD),
you must use the analog connections pictured on this page for the video signal but in order to use Dolby Digital
you should hook up their audio to a digital input (see the next page). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital
components with analog audio connections as well (see the previous page). To cover all possible laser discs a
DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection (as shown here) and two digital connections (see the
next page).
When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the wall outlet.

Front video connections are accessed via the front
panel input selector as “VIDEO.”
7 Audio/Video cords
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect
the video components and a video cord to
connect the monitor TV.
Connect red
plugs to R (right),
white plugs to L
(left), and the
yellow plugs to
VIDEO.
Be sure to insert
completely.
If your video components have S-video
jacks, you could use S-video cords (not
supplied) to connect them on the back of
the receiver. These jacks are labeled by the
Japanese designation “S2” on the VSX-
D938TX/D908TX/D908TX-G but they are
simply S-video jacks.
However, if you use S-video cords for your
video hook ups you must also hook up your
TV with S-video connections. Conversely, if
you use regular composite video cords for
video hook ups, you should use them for
your TV as well.
