Connecting the AV Receiver

• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed

and double-checked all audio and video connections.

Optical Digital Inputs

The AV Receiver’s optical digital inputs have shutter-

type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted

and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution:

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical

plug straight when inserting and removing.

RCA AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,

white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-

nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use

white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-

puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to

connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Push plugs in all the way to make

good connections (loose connec-

tions can cause noise or malfunc-

tions).

•To prevent interference, keep

audio and video cables away from

power cords and speaker cables.
