Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

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

To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Stereo mini plug

 

Multichannel ana- log audio (RCA)

This cable carries multichannel analog audio and is typi- cally used to connect DVD players with a 7.1-channel ana- log audio output. Several standard analog audio cables can be used instead of a multichannel cable.

*Available sampling rate for PCM input signal is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. Even 176.4/192 kHz is effective in case of the HDMI con- nection.

Note

• The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

• 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

En

• To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
