• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all AV connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections
(loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Make sure that PCM is selected on the playback component.
• The receiver'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.
