Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

CAUTIONS:

•Do not plug in before setting the voltage selector switch on the rear of the unit and all connection procedures are complete.

•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

•When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.

1 On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.

2 Insert batteries.

When the component has a digital coaxial output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using the digital coaxial cable (not supplied).

When the component has a digital optical output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 2 (CD) terminal, using the digital optical cable (not supplied).
