Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power switch and disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.

• To cover all possible Laser Discs, a DVD/LD player or LD player requires an analog connection and two digital

connections (p.11).

• Regarding a DVD player, you must use the analog connections (Video Components (p.9)) and the digital

connection (p.10).

Audio Components

To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections
and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components
you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for
components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use
DTS surround sound features you must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs but it is also a good
idea to hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components
(like an MD) to/from analog components you must hook up your digital equipment with these analog
connections. See p.10-11 for more on digital connections.

The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

 Audio cords

Use audio cords (not supplied) to connect the
audio components.

Cassette deck placement

Depending on where the cassette deck is placed,
noise may occur during playback of your cassette
deck which is caused by leakage flux from the
transformer in the amplifier. If you experience noise,
move the cassette deck farther away from the
amplifier.
