Connecting to Audio-Visual Components

NOTE

Before making any connections, check that the unit is switched off. With volume turned down to a low level, switch power on only after all connections have been made.

S-VIDEO

If your video component has a S-Video jack included, you can make use of it to enjoy enhanced video quality by connecting it to the relevant S- Video jack at the rear side of the receiver. One S- video cable is needed for each component. When S-Video cable is used, composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable must also be connected for VCR recording.

Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or ￿ S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of the plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to plug in completely.

TV

If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you need is just one more optical digital connecting cable (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver setting (see details on pg 20 chapter "Input Signal Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality brought to you by the optical cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still needed for recording to tape output.

MONITOR OUT

The composite, S-Video output is for connecting to TV or Video Monitor to view video sources connected to Composite video input (DVD, VCR, V-AUX, SAT), S-Video input (DVD, SAT) respectively. The current mode (DVD, CD etc...) determines which input video source should be directed to the Monitor outputs.

DIGITAL CONNECTION

If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to select the corresponding digital input source.

Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater.

FRONT TERMINAL

Remark: If you have a video camera, video game machine, or an extra VCR, connect it to VAUX input at the front of the receiver
