• Before making any connections, read the manuals 

supplied with your other components.

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

and double-checked all connections.

RCA-type audio connections are usually color-coded: 
red and white. 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”).

Push plugs in all the way to make 
good connections (loose connections 
can cause noise or malfunctions).

Note:
• Do not put anything on top of the CD receiver, as it 

may interfere with proper ventilation.

Using a suitable cable, connect the CD receiver’s 
AUDIO OUT: SUBWOOFER to the input on your 
powered subwoofer.

If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an 
external amplifier, connect the AUDIO OUT: 
SUBWOOFER to the amp’s input.

Note:
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord while the 

subwoofer is powered-on. Doing so may damage the 
subwoofer. You must power-off the subwoofer before 
connecting or disconnecting the power cord.

Using a suitable cable, connect the CD receiver’s LINE 
IN jacks to the OUTPUT (PLAY) jacks of your cassette 
tape deck, TV, or other audio playback device.

If you want to view the contents of videos from your 
iPod/iPhone on your TV, connect the CD receiver’s 
VIDEO OUT jack to the VIDEO IN jack of your TV or 
projector.
