Connecting to Audio-Visual Components

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.
DIGITAL INPUT
Connect components
capable of outputing Dolby
Digital (e.g. DVD or SAT) or
standard PCM (CD) format
digital signals. Read section
on "Input Signal Setting"
under "Advanced Sound
Control" carefully to adjust
the matching input settings.
OPTICAL 1
CD Player
Tape Deck
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 19 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.

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.
