Listening To Surround Sound - Pioneer VSX-415 Mode D'emploi

5 minute guide

Listening to Surround Sound

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.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
1 Hook up your DVD player.
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 connect
both). If you hook up using an optical cable, you will need to assign the optical input to DVD (for
the VSX-415 see Digital input settings on page 40 and for the VSX-515 see The Input Assign menu
on page 44).
Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD player to the receiver using the jacks
shown below.
2 Hook up your TV.
Use a video cord to connect your receiver to the TV using the jacks as shown below.
