I just received my Pioneer VSX-D812S yesterday and I had prepared the speaker cables with banana plugs to go into the back of it BUT the 812 does not seem to receive them. The manual says nothing about banana plugs, I checked a reveiw that I had for the 912 and it says they do receive banana plugs for speaker cables The 912 and the 812 are supposed to be the same construction). Am I supposed to pop out this bit of plastic in the centre of the speaker cable connector on the back of the receiver? Any help here would be appreciated.
I am also very confused about how to connect the receiver TV and DVD to get the best out of it all.
I want the sound to obviously come via the receiver, I was advised that it was best to connect the DVD direct to the TV which makes sense to me for picture quality but can not work out how to get the sound to the receiver then.
The TV that I have is a Panasonic TX-32PS10F which has 3 scart cable entries, the DVD player is cheapy but has all the outputs optical, video, coaxial, component and 5.1 channel. At the moment I have used the 5.1 outputs with sound leads going to the receiver and the video lead going to video input on the front of the TV (crude but it works).
I was thinking to get an optical cable from the DVD to the receiver, use the monitor out on the reciever to the TV and then have my gamecube and VCR going into the reeiver as well. Any advice on this approach would be good. I am going to do some playing around as well.
Thanks
