Digital Audio Source
Analog Audio Inputs 1 and 2: If you have an audio-only analog source component (such as a
tape deck), connect its left and right analog outputs to the Analog Audio Input 1 or Analog Audio
Input 2 jacks as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: To hear a TV show through your BDS system, you need to connect the audio output of
your TV to the BDS receiver. If your TV has a digital-audio output, you can connect it to one of
the BDS receiver's digital inputs (see below). If your TV does not have a digital-audio output,
you will need to connect the TV's analog-audio output to the BDS receiver's Analog Audio Input
1 or Analog Audio Input 2 jacks.
Coaxial In and Optical 1/Optical 2 In: If you have an audio-only digital source component
(such as a CD changer or video game), you can connect it to one of these inputs, as shown
in the illustration. When using the Optical 1 and Optical 2 digital connections, gently push the
cable connector through the panel connector's built-in shutter until it is firmly seated in the
connector.
NOTE: Use only one type of digital connection for each source component.

Connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN)
Use a CAT. 5/RJ45 network cable (not supplied) to connect the BDS receiver's BD-Live
connector directly to a network router, a network switch, a network modem or an Ethernet
network wall jack that has Internet access.
NOTE: The BDS receiver can not access content on other networked devices. The Network
connection enables only the receiver's BD-Live features. See BD-Live Interactivity, on page
25, for details.

Connecting the AC Power
The BDS receiver comes with a detachable AC power cord. This type of cord makes it
easier for you to install and connect all other system wiring to the receiver's rear panel.

NOTES:
The power requirement for the BDS receiver is 110V – 240V AC, 50/60Hz, 110W
(BDS 5 receiver) or 70W (BDS 2 receiver). The power requirement for the subwoofer
is 110V – 120V AC, 60Hz, 200W (USA) or 220V – 240V AC, 50/60Hz, 200W (EU).
Connecting to a power source other than the ones listed may damage the receiver
or subwoofer, or cause abnormal operation.
Before connecting the AC power cords to wall outlets, confirm that you have
correctly made all of the speaker connections, video connections and audio-
component connections.
Connect the female end of the receiver's detachable power cord to the receiver's AC
Power Input connector. Plug the other end into a working, unswitched AC outlet. Plug the
subwoofer's power cord into a working, unswitched AC outlet as well.
Receiver
Set the receiver's and subwoofer's Main Power switches in the "On" position. The receiver's
Power indicator will turn amber, indicating that the receiver is in the Standby mode.
The subwoofer's LED will not light up until it receives a turn-on signal. See Subwoofer
Controls and Connections, on page 7, for details.
