Before you get started

Turn off the power to all components before making any connections.

Do not connect the mains lead until all of the connections are completed.

Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.

When connecting an audio/video cable, be sure to match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on the components: Yellow (video) to Yellow; White (left, audio) to White; and Red (right, audio) to Red.
