Connecting the DV-SP503E

Before Making Any Connections

•Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

•Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio and video connections.

Optical Digital Outputs

The DV-SP503E’s optical digital connectors have a shut- ter-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.

RCA AV Connection Color Coding

RCA AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan- nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use

white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out- puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

The supplied AV cable is made up of an analog audio cable and a composite video cable.
