Connecting Your Components
Connecting AV components
• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections
(loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
AV Cables and Jacks
Notes:
• The receiver does not support SCART plugs.
• The receiver does not support multichannel audio input. The PCM signal can be input only to digital input terminals.
Make sure that PCM is selected on the playback component.
• The receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when
it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution:
To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
