Quick Setup                                     Connections

Notes:

•   Green, blue and red are the most common colors for DVD cables. Some models may vary 

colors. Please consult the user’s manual for your DVD player for more information.

•   Be careful not to confuse the red DVD cable with the red audio cable. It is best to complete 

one set of connections (DVD or audio output) before starting the other to avoid accidentally 
switching the cables.

•   You may also connect the DVD player to Input 1.
