Connecting Your Equipment

External Decoder Input

In some cases you may need an external decoder to play special analog or DVD sources. If you find you need an external decoder hook one up as shown below, but for most people this component is unnecessary. (See p.42)

When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
