    Connecting Your Equipment Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Audio Components To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks.

  • Page 9: Video Components

    Connecting Your Equipment Video Components Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD), you must use the analog connections pictured on this page for the video signal but in order to use Dolby Digital you should hook up their audio to a digital input (see the next page).

  • Page 10: Digital Connections

    Connecting Your Equipment Digital Connections In order to use MPEG/Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching.
  • Page 11 Connecting Your Equipment Example of Connection Using a DVD/LD or LD player Make sure you connect your DVD/LD or LD players using the AC-3 RF jack and a coaxial or optical jack. If your player has an AC-3 RF output, this will ensure you can play back AC-3 RF signals. See p.34 for details. The illustration is not applicable to the UK model.
