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-1029 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 P
R
signals and then output. In this way, interference between the 
signals is avoided. 
About video outputs connection
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 terminal.
