Connecting to Audio.Visual
Components
This receiver allows you to connect to a large variety
of audio or video components.
Before you Connect
•Protect components from power surges.
• Connect all components before plugging any
power cordsinto the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the receiver and/or components
before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Contact Consumer relations if you have questions
concerning the connections or components.
Note: If you purchase the receiver with the speaker
set ( i.e. RT2300, RT2400), please make sure the color-
coded pins match the color of the terminals in which
they are inserted. The connection cable plugs and
jacks are color-codes follows:
Speaker Terminals
To ease speaker connections
the speaker cords and the terminals are color-coded
into: Red/Black (Main Speakers), Blue/Black (Center
Speakers) and Grey/Black (Rear Speakers). When
connecting the speakers, make sure the color of
speaker wires and terminals are matched.
RCA Phono Type T_erminals Red for the right (R)
channel. White for the left (L) channel. Yellow for the
video. Black for the subwoofer.
• Make sureall antennas and cablesare properly
grounded.
Protect your Components from
Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any component.
Arrange the components so that air can circulate
freely.
• Do not stack components directly on top of each
other.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand
so heating air rising from it will not flow around other
components. If you have a satellite receiver, you
should place it on the top shelf.

Positioning the Cables
Cables should be positioned correctly to avoid audio
hum or interference. A few suggestions below:
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place audio/video cables to the sides of the
receiver's back panel instead of straight down the
middle after you connect the components.
• Try not to coil any power cables and keep them
away from the audio/video cables as much as possible.
