Connecting the DV-SP405
Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Output (Oceanian model only)
The optical digital connector is fitted with protective
cap. Before connecting a cable, remove the cap and keep
it safely. When you disconnect the cable, put the cap

RCA AV Connection Color Coding
RCA AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
Push each plug in all the way to
make a good connection (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.
