Analog audio cables
Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect analog audio
components. These cables are typically red and white, and
you should connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals and
white plugs to L (left) terminals.
Digital audio cables
Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical
cables should be used to connect digital components to this
receiver.
Note
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting
the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical
socket.
• When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be
damaged if bent around sharp corners.
• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial
digital connections.
Video cables
Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of video connection
and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The
yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
Component video cables (VSX-827 only)
Use component video cables to get the best possible color
reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is
divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (P
B and PR)
signals and then output. In this way, interference between the
signals is avoided.
