Connecting Other Components

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”).

Optical Digital Jack (CR-715DAB)

The CD receiver’s optical digital jack has 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.

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

Note:

Do not put anything on top of the CD receiver, as it may interfere with proper ventilation.
