About Connections

Before making any connections, read the manuals supplied with your other components.

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

Connection Color Coding

RCA-type audio 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 out- puts (typically labeled “L”).
