About AV Connections

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV compo-
nents.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all AV connec-
tions.
Optical Digital Jacks
The HTX-22HDX's optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug
is inserted and close when it's removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
RCA Connection Color Coding
RCA connections are usually color coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio
inputs and outputs (typically labeled "L").
