Before you get started

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

•Do not connect the AC power cord until all of the connections are completed.

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

•When connecting an audio/video cord, 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.

•When you connect optical digital cords, insert the cord plugs straight in until they click into place.

•Do not bend or tie the optical digital cord.
