APPENDIX A: CONNECTING THE RECEIVER

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CONNECTING THE COMPONENTS

•Protect components from power surges.

•Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

•Always turn off the receiver and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

•Always make sure the color-coded plugs match the color of the terminals in which they are inserted. The connection cable plugs and jacks are color-coded

as follows:

Speaker Terminals Red for positive (+) terminals. Black for negative (—) terminals.

RCA Phono Terminals Red for the right (R) channel. White for the left (L) channel. Yellow for the video (V). Black for the subwoofer.

•Some units may be supplied with connection plugs that are color coded red and black instead of red and white. In this case, the black plug takes the place of the white plug.

POSITION CABLES CORRECTLY TO AVOID AUDIO HUM OR INTERFERENCE

•Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

•Place audio/video cables to the sides of the receiver’s back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect the components.

•Try not to coil any power cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.

•Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your receiver.
