PREPARATION PREPARATION Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Video Components Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Connect your video components as shown on this and the following page. For video components (for example, a DVD player) there are two types of connections to make, video and audio. Hook up your video signal with either component video, S video or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of cord as you used to hook up your TV. For the audio signal, in order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital or DTS you must hook up a digital input, with either a coaxial or optical cord (see pages 22 & 23). It is also a good idea to hook up your components with analog audio connections as well. If you want to record from your DVD player composite (or S video) cord connections and analog audio connections are necessary. Connecting a DVD player Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Hook up your audio signal with either a coaxial or optical digital cords (you don't need to do both). If you hook up your DVD/LD player using component video cable connections you might need to setup your DVD player for component video output as well. See your DVD manual for details. If you have a DVDAudio or Super Audio CD (SACD) compatible player, see "Connecting to the Multi Channel Analog Inputs" on page 21. You need to hook up your audio with analog connections as well. *The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.

See page 91 to do this. • If your component video connections are different from the default settings, you will need to assign them with "Assigning the Component Video Inputs". See page 92 to do this. 17
