AUDIO/VIDEO CONNECTIONS

NOTE

It is important to remember not to place anything on top of the DCT2000 and to provide for adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.

Before you begin to hookup your DCT2000, review the following:

For basic cable connections, use 75-ohm coaxial cables equipped with F-type connectors. You can find coaxial cables in your local electronics store.

For audio or video outputs, use cables equipped with RCA-type connectors.

For the optical digital output, use an optical (TOSLINK) audio cable.

Disconnect power from the DCT2000 before connecting or changing cable connections.

Do not place anything on top of the DCT2000, especially other home video components.

It is recommended that you use RCA cable specifically designed for digital audio transmission when using the COAX digital audio output.
