RT2500 ENG 5/26/00 2:56 PM Page 7 Getting Started Connecting to Audio-Visual Components This receiver allows you to connect to a large variety of audio or video components. Before you Connect • Protect components from power surges. • Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. • Always turn off the receiver and/or components before you connect or disconnect any cables. • Contact consumer relations if you have questions concerning the connections or components. Note: Always make sure that color-coded pins match the color of the terminals in which they are inserted. The connection cable plugs and jacks are color-coded as follows: Speaker Terminals: RT 2500 - Red/Black (Main Speakers), Blue/Black (Center Speaker), Grey/Black (Rear Speakers) and Brown/Black (subwoofer). RT2500R - Red/ Black (Main, Center & Rear Speakers) RCA Type Terminals: Red for the right (R) channel. White for the left (L) channel. Yellow for the video. Black for the powered subwoofer. Positioning the Cables Protect your Components from Overheating EN • Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. • Do not stack components directly on top of each other. • Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand. • Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so heating air rising from it will not affect other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on the top shelf. Cables should be positioned correctly to avoid audio hum or interference. Below are a few suggestions: • Insert all cable plugs into their jacks firmly. • Place audio/video cables to the sides of the receiver's back panel instead of straight down the middle after you have connected the components. • Try not to coil any power cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables as much as possible. • Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. 3
