Hooking Up the Components

Note on video component hookups

You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks to the TV/

SAT AUDIO IN jacks on the receiver and apply sound

effects to the audio from the TV. In this case, do not

connect the TV’s video output jack to the TV/SAT VIDEO

IN jack on the receiver. If you are connecting a separate

TV tuner (or satellite tuner), connect both the audio and

video output jacks to the receiver as shown above.

z

When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks

(STR-DE545 and STR-SE501 only)

Your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video

signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not

be output through the video jacks.

Note

When using the connections described below, adjust the level of

your surround speakers and subwoofer from the DVD player or

multichannel decoder.

Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel

decoder, it is also equipped with 5.1CH INPUT jacks.

These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel

software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital

(AC-3) and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with

5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to

the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi

channel decoder. Alternatively, the 5.1CH INPUT jacks

can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.

To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will

need five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers,

and a center speaker) and a subwoofer. Refer to the

instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi

channel decoder, etc., for details on the 5.1 channel input

hookups.

Example of a DVD player hookup using the 5.1CH INPUT jacks
