Connecting DVD 5.1 Channel Components

DVD and LD discs are compatible with both 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output formats. You can connect a
device with 5.1 channel output, such as DVD or multi-channel decoder equipped with 5.1 analog outputs,
to the 5.1 analog inputs on the receiver.
Always make sure that the receiver is switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet before making or changing any
connections.

Connecting Video Components

Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. Regarding digital video components (like a DVD
player), you must use the analog connections pictured on this page for the video signal. To hear a digital source
(like a DVD), you should hook up their audio to a digital input (see page 6). It is also a good idea to hook up your
digital components with analog audio connections as well (see page 7).
When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from
the wall outlet.
