Connecting the DPC-7.4

This chapter explains how to connect the DPC-7.4 to your other 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 DPC-7.4’s optical digital connector has a dust cap for keeping out dust and dirt when it’s not in use. Remove the cap before inserting an optical digital plug. Push the plug in all the way to make a good connec- tion. Keep the dust cap in a safe place for future use.

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.
