FIRST THINGS FIRST

JACKS AND CABLES

S-Video Jack and Cable

The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your system.

This jack is available on many TVs and is used in conjunction with	S-Video Jack
audio cables to connect the receiver to your TV. Remember also
to connect the left and right audio cables because the
S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack.

Theses jacks are used for most audio/video connections between	Audio/Video Jacks
components. The receiver audio/video jacks are color coded
(yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If
your TV has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the
right (red) audio jack on the receiver.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and are to be used if audio/video connections are not available for your TV.

These jacks are required for antenna or cable-TV connections.	RF Jack
The RF jacks on the receiver are labeled IN FROM ANT and OUT
TO TV. The coaxial cable supplied with your system is used to
connect the RF jacks between the receiver and your TV’s antenna
input.
