Connecting Your Components About AV Connections • Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components. • Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all AV connections. Optical Digital Jacks The AV receiver's optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it's removed. Push plugs in all the way. AV Connection Color Coding RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel 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. Left (white) Analog audio Left (white) Right (red) Right (red) (Yellow) Composite video (Yellow) Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing. AV Cables and Jacks • Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions). • To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
