CAUTION

Do not connect this unit or other components to the AC power supply until all connections between components are complete.

Notes

Be sure to make the same type of video connections as those made for your TV (see page 17). For example, if you connected your TV to the VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack of this unit, connect your other components to the VIDEO jacks.

To make a digital connection to a component other than the default component assigned to each DIGITAL INPUT jack, select the corresponding setting for “OPTICAL IN” or “COAXIAL IN” in “INPUT ASSIGN” (see page 73).

If you connect your DVD player to both the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) and the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jacks, priority is given to the signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack.
