BDS Connections Connecting Audio Sources TV To Optical Output -OR- To Audio Output 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. To Internet Cat. 5/5E Network Modem Tape Deck Cable/Satellite Tuner To Optical Output Digital Audio Source To Play Output To Coaxial Output 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. The subwoofer has a non-detachable power cord. NOTES: s 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. s 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 Subwoofer 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.
