Connections

Here is explanation of how to connect the main components to the
TX-DS696 in the standard manner. There are many ways that any
one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which
method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only
one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully
understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as each
of your components and their features to ascertain which method of
connection is best.
• Be sure to always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been
made.
• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the
right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the
left channel, and yellow connectors (marked V) are used for
video connection.
• Do not bind audio/video connection cables with power cords
and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the
picture and sound quality.
• When using the digital inputs, make sure to also connect the
analog connections whenever possible.
