Connecting Your AV Components

Before Making Any Connections

•Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

•Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio and video connections.

Optical Digital Inputs

The HT-R510’s optical digital connectors have a shutter-type cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding

RCA/phono 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 (typi- cally labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect compos- ite video inputs and outputs.
