7Before Making Any Connections

Read the manuals supplied with your components.

Don’t connect the mains cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all connections.

Optical Digital Output

The CR401’s optical digital output has a shutter- type cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted and closes when it's removed. Push a plug in all the way.

Caution

To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

RCA Connection Color Coding

RCA-type connections are usually color coded: red and white.

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”).

Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).

To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from mains cords and speaker cables.
