Pioneer audio/video multi-channel receiver User Manual

This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick
setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most
cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.

For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the DVD player to the
receiver. You can do this with either a coaxial, or an optical connection (you don’t need to do both). If
you hook up using an optical cable, you should refer to Optical digital input setting on page 38 to
assign the optical input to DVD.

Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD to the receiver using the jacks shown
below.

Use a video cord to connect your receiver to the TV using the jacks as shown below.
