About cable types Video cables Standard RCA video cables These cables are the most common type of video connection and should be used to connect to the composite video terminals. They have yellow plugs to distinguish them from cables for audio. Analog audio cables Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect analog audio components. These cables are typically red and white, and you should connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals and white plugs to L (left) terminals. Analog audio cables Right (red) Left (white) Digital audio cables Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical cables should be used to connect digital components to this receiver. Coaxial digital audio cable Optical cable • When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket. • When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners. • You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial digital connections. Standard RCA video cable S-video cables S-video cables give you clearer picture reproduction than standard RCA video cables by sending separate signals for the luminance and color. S Video Component video cables Use component video cables to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then output. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided.
