Before Making Any Connections

• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed
all audio and video connections.

and closes when it's removed. Push the plug in all the
way.

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

audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.
