Connecting Your Equipment

7Coaxial cords/Optical cables

Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords (standard video cords can also be used) or optical cables (not supplied) are used to connect digital components to this receiver.

Be sure to insert completely and in the case of the optical cable, right-side up. If it is inserted improperly it can break the shutter on the optical terminal (this won't, however, affect the connection or insertion of an optical cable).

Digital Input Default Settings

Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component, they can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component is connected to which jack so your components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default settings.

The default settings are:

DIGITAL IN 1 (coaxial): DVD/LD

DIGITAL IN 2 (coaxial): CD

DIGITAL IN 3 (optical): SAT

DIGITAL IN 4 (optical): VCR1/DVR

DIGITAL IN 5 (optical): CD-R/TAPE 1/MD

2RF IN (coaxial): DVD/LD

See "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on p.88 if the way you hook up your equipment is different from the default settings listed here.
