Digital connections

This receiver is equipped with three DIGITAL IN terminals — one digital coaxial terminal and two digital optical terminals.

You can connect any component to any one of the digital terminals using the digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not supplied).

IMPORTANT:

When connecting the DVD player or the DBS tuner using the digital terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack (either composite video terminal or S-video terminal) on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you can view no playback picture.

After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, set the following correctly if necessary.

Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 13.

Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the receiver 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.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

When you unplug the power cord.

When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

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 receiver.
