Satellite TV Components
Connect your satellite TV components to the jacks as shown below. Hook up the video signal with either
component video, S-video, or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but remember, the
video component you are watching and your TV must be hooked up with same type of video cord or you won't
be able to see the picture. For the audio signal, order to use digital soundtracks (sometimes broadcast over
digital satellite TV) you must hook up a digital input. Use either a coaxial or optical cables, it doesn't matter
which (you don't need to use both). It's also a good idea to hook up your audio with analog cables (see below).
This connection is called STEREO AUDIO OUT in the diagram.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the TV signal.

Analog audio/video cords
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to
connect the video components and a video
cord to connect the monitor TV.
Connect red plugs to R (right), white plugs to
L (left), and the yellow plugs to VIDEO.
Be sure to insert completely.

Digital audio coaxial cords/
Optical cables
Commercially available digital audio coaxial
cords (standard video cords can also be
used) or optical cables (not supplied) are
used to connect digital components to this
receiver.
When you use optical digital input or output
terminals, pull off the caps and insert the
plugs. Be sure to insert completely.
