Pioneer VSX-522-K User Manual

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.

Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical 

cables should be used to connect digital components to this 

receiver.

•

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.

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.

This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you 

use HDMI cables for connecting to the input device, the same 

cables should be used for connecting to the TV.
The signals input from the analog (composite) video inputs of 

this unit will not be output from the HDMI OUT.
