Connecting up
 
Making cable connections
 
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit 
(as shown in the illustration). If this happens, the 
magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit 
may cause a humming noise from the speakers.
 
 Important
 
• Before making or changing any connections, switch 
off the power and disconnect the power cable from 
the AC outlet.
 
Audio cables (analog)
 
Use audio cables (not supplied) to connect  audio 
components.
Connect red plugs to 
 
R
 
 (right) jacks, white plugs to 
 
L
 
 
(left). 
Be sure to insert completely.
 
Coaxial and Optical digital audio cables
 
Coaxial digital audio cables (standard video cables can 
also be used) or optical cables are used to connect digital 
components to this receiver.
Be sure to insert completely.
• When inserting the plug of an optical cable, be 
careful not to damage the shutter protecting the 
optical jack.
• Do not bend optical cables around sharp corners as 
they may be damaged. When storing, coil loosely.
 
Connecting to a TV and DVD recorder 
or player
 
The diagram below shows the connections for a basic 
home theater setup of a TV, DVD recorder (or player) and 
this receiver.
Audio is output from the DVD recorder’s coaxial digital 
audio jack, while the video output goes to the TV. Also 
shown is a stereo analog audio connection from your TV 
to this receiver so you can enjoy sound from this receiver 
when watching TV programs. 
 
 Note
 
• If your DVD recorder only has an optical digital 
output, you can still connect it to this receiver using 
the 
 
OPTICAL DIGITAL
 
 jack. In this case you will have 
to select the 
 
DIGITAL
 
 input function rather than 
 
DVD
 
.
