L R Connecting Your Equipment Audio Components To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use DTS or Dolby D

PREPARATION Connecting Your Equipment Digital Connections In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks which are at the heart of home theater you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component

Connecting Your Equipment Speaker impedance You can change the speaker impedance for 36TX but we recommend using speakers with an impedance of 8Ω- 16Ω (the default setting). If you are using 6Ω- less than 8Ω impedance speakers, you need to change the impedance setting. It is not necessary to switch the speaker impedance when using the VSX-37TX. Use any speaker rated between 6Ω-16Ω. STANDBY/ON First turn the receiver off, then press the STANDBY/ON button while holding down the SPEAKERS button. A
