Connections

Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have connected all your devices.

This section focuses on the connections from your DVD player to the KRF-X7775D. Please refer to your DVD player’s instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.

The instructions in this section show one of several pos- sible variations on connecting your DVD player. For further assistance on optional configurations, contact the store where you purchased your receiver.

To Connect a DVD Player:

1.Review the information under “Before You Begin” on pageÊ 1. It contains important notes about the types of video connections you can make.

2.Connect the video cables from the DVD’s Video jacks to the receiver’s DVD PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.

If your DVD and TV have the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks, you can also connect them as shown on the left.

3.Connect the audio cables from the DVD’s audio jacks (AUDIO OUT, FRONT or MIX LINE OUT) to the receiver’s FRONT jacks of DVD/6CH. INPUT.

When the DVD player provides the DVD 6ch (DVD 5.1 ch) outputs, connect them to the FRONT, SURROUND, CENTER and SUBWOOFER input jacks. (optional)

4.Connect the digital cable (either optical or coaxial) from the DVD’s digital jack to the appropriate digital jack on the receiver as shown to the left.

The illustration shows two digital connections, one for coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your DVD player supports one or the other of these connec- tion methods—do not connect both.

If you use the optical digital cable, be sure to remove the protective cover from the optical jack before con- necting.

When playing Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded software in multichannel configuration, the connected audio signal should be the digital signal.

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.
