Connecting the AV Receiver/AV Amplifier-Continued 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/AV amplifier'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. Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
