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. However, if you use S-video cords for your video hook ups you must also hook up your TV with Svideo connections. Conversely, if you use regular composite video cords for video hook ups, you should use them for your TV as well. 10 Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Digital Components In order to use PCM/2 Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-D409/D509S has coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs. Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/2/DTS (VSX-D509S only) OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
