SAT IN

1.Connect the yellow plug to the VIDEO jack.

2.If your satellite receiver or cable box has analog audio connections, connect red plugs to the right AUDIO jacks and white plugs to the left AUDIO jacks. To use your satellite receiver (or cable box), select the SAT function (see “Controlling a Satellite Receiver or Cable Box” on

Page 21).

If your satellite receiver or cable box has digital audio output, use an optical cable to connect the satellite receiver to the home theater receiver’s SAT IN optical jack. To use your satellite receiver or cable box, select the SAT-OPT function (see “Controlling a Satellite Receiver or Cable Box” on Page 21).

Note: If the cassette deck is placed too close to the receiver, noise might occur during cassette playback. If this happens, move the cassette deck farther away from the receiver.

Connecting a Digital (Optical) Audio Device

You can connect a digital audio device such as an MD (Mini Disc) or DAT (Digital AudioTape) recorder to the receiver’s DIGITAL OUT to record audio from the receiver. Use Toslink optical cable to connect the MD or DAT recorder to the receiver’s DIGITAL OUT optical jack.

You can also connect a satellite receiver, portable CD player, MD or DAT recorder, or other components with digital output

to the receiver’s optical jack. Use Toslink optical cable to connect the desired device to the receiver.

Caution: If an active digital audio output signal is supplied to a receiver or other equipment without a corresponding digital decoding capability, a very loud noise might be produced which could permanently damage your speakers.

Connecting a Cassette Deck

Use audio/video cables (not supplied) to connect a cassette deck to the receiver. Connect red plugs to the right AUDIO jacks and white plugs to the left AUDIO jacks. Make sure you connect the cassette deck to both the TAPE IN and TAPE OUT sets of jacks.

Connecting an Auxiliary Audio Device

You can also connect an audio device that does not require Toslink (such as an MP3 player, playback cassette deck, or portable CD player) to the Home Theater Audio System.

1.Use audio cables to connect the desired device to the receiver’s AUX jacks.

2.Connect red plugs to the right AUDIO jacks and white plugs to the left AUDIO jacks.
