Easy Setup Guide Part1
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
1 1 1 1 1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player & TV
In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks, which are at the heart of home theater, you need to hook up your
DVD player with digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection, you don't
need to do both. The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some DVD players only
have one type of digital terminal you need to figure out which yours has and hook it up to the appropriate
terminal on the receiver. In order to do this you will need the proper cable. For coaxial connections you can use a
regular RCA video cord or the specially-made coaxial cords, they have the same type of plugs. For optical
connections you will need a special optical cable which you can buy at your local stereo store. For more
information on cords and cables see page 21. You should also hook up your DVD player with analog audio
connections. Use regular RCA stereo cords for these connections. Also hook up the video connection on your
DVD player, and your TV to this receiver. For your TV it's easiest to use a regular composite (RCA) video cord, as
shown below. S Video and Component video cords are of higher quality than RCA video cords and may also be
used with this unit.
Digital Connections
Some DVD players have both coaxial and optical terminals, but there is no need to connect both. If your DVD
player has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook it up using this terminal. Follow the
diagram below. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of this receiver and
won't need to assign the digital inputs (you should use DIGITAL IN 3).
If your DVD player only has an optical terminal for the audio output you can hook it up using one of the DIGITAL
IN terminals between 1-2 (for example, DIGITAL IN 2). In this case, you will need to assign the digital input
(which means tell the receiver which input you used for your DVD digital audio). See page 12 for this.
