QUICK START GUIDE Quick Start Guide Part1 Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Instruction for i.LINK interface are explained on pages 30-31. 1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player & TV In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to hook up your DVD player with digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection, you don't need to do both. The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some DVD players only have one type of digital terminal you need to figure out which yours has and hook it up to the appropriate terminal on the receiver. In order to do this you will need the proper cable. For coaxial connections you can use a regular RCA video cord or the specially-made coaxial cords, they have the same type of plugs. For optical connections you will need a special optical cable which you can buy at your local stereo store. For more detail on cords/cables See page 26. If you want to record from a DVD player, you should also connect analog audio connectors. Use regular RCA stereo cords for these connections. Also hook up the video connection on your DVD player and your TV to this receiver. For your TV it's easiest to use a regular composite RCA video cord, as shown below. It is important that you hook up your TV (or monitor) in order to see a video image as well as the on screen displays (OSDs) shown by this receiver (for more see page 19). Digital Connections Some DVD players have both coaxial and optical terminals, but there is is no need to connect both. If your DVD player has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook it up using this terminal. Follow the diagram below using DIGITAL IN 1. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of this receiver and won't need to assign the digital inputs. If your DVD player only has an optical terminal for the audio output you can hook it up using one of the DIGITAL IN terminals between 4-7 (for example, DIGITAL IN 4). In this case, you will need to assign the digital input (which means tell the receiver which input you used for your DVD digital audio). See page 15 for this.
