Getting Started

Connecting to Audio-Visual Components

NOTE
Before making any connections, check that
the unit is switched off. With volume turned
down to a low level, switch power on only
after all connections have been made.
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.
SAT
MONITOR OUT
The composite, S-Video output is for
connecting to TV or Video Monitor to
view video sources connected to
Composite video input (DVD, VCR,
V-AUX, SAT), S-Video input (DVD,
SAT) respectively. The current mode
(DVD, CD etc...) determines which
input video source should be
directed to the Monitor outputs.
SUBWOOFER OUT
The Subwoofer pre-out allows
for connection to a sub-bass
speaker system with its own
external or integrated power
amplifier ("active" subwoofer).
Tape Deck
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.

DIGITAL OUTPUT
Connect components capable
of recording digital signals
(e.g. MD, CD recorder player)
equiped with a optical input.
DVD
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 20 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.
CD Player
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.
FRONT TERMINAL
Remark: If you have a video camera,
video game machine, or an extra
VCR, connect it to VAUX input at the
front of the receiver
