• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals 

supplied with your other AV components.

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

and double-checked all AV connections.

The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks 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-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, 
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). 
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and 
outputs (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 
connections can cause noise or 
malfunctions).

• To prevent interference, keep 

audio and video cables away from 
power cords and speaker cables.

Note: The AV receiver does not support SCART connections.

HDMI connections can carry uncompressed 
standard- or high-definition digital video and audio 
and offer the best picture and sound quality.

Component video separates the luminance (Y) and 
color difference signals (P

picture quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their 
component video jacks slightly differently.)

Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, 
and other video equipment.

This offers the best sound quality and allows you to 
enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. The audio quality is 
the same as for coaxial.
