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 DPS-5.4’s optical digital connectors have a shutter- type cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.

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 (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.
