Connecting the AV controller—Continued
About AV Connections
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other AV components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed
and double-checked all AV connections.
Optical Digital Jacks
The AV controller'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.

AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connec-
tions can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.

S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and
provides better picture quality than composite video.
Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs,
