Connecting the DV-SP404/DV-SP404E

Before Making Any Connections

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding

 

 

 

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 Output (not North American and European models)

The optical digital connector is fitted with protective cap. Before connecting a cable, remove the cap and keep it safely. When you disconnect the cable, put the cap back in.

RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. 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”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.
