Connecting the DPC-7.5
This chapter explains how to connect the DPC-7.5 to your
other AV components.
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all
audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Inputs
The DPC-7.5’s optical digital connector
has a dust cap for keeping out dust and dirt
when it’s not in use. Remove the cap before
inserting an optical digital plug. Push the
plug in all the way to make a good connec-
tion. Keep the dust cap in a safe place for
future use.
RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white
plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typi-
cally labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect compos-
ite video inputs and outputs.
• Push each plug in all the way to
make a good connection (loose con-
nections can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio
and video cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.

Component
video
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color
difference signals (P
R
, P
B
), providing the best picture
quality. (Some TV manufacturers label their component
video inputs slightly differently.)
The DPC-7.5 has RCA/phono and BNC component
video outputs.
S-Video
S-Video provides better picture quality than composite
video.
