Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet.
1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player and TV
In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks, which are at the heart of home theater, you need to hook up your
DVD player with digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection,
you don’t
need to do both
. The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some DVD players only have
one type of digital terminal you need to figure out which yours has and hook it up to the appropriate terminal on the
receiver. In order to do this you will need the proper cable. For coaxial connections you can use a coaxial digital cord
or a regular RCA video cord, which have the same type of plugs. For optical connections you will need a special
optical cable which you can buy at your local stereo store. For more information on cords and cables see page 23.
You should also hook up your DVD player with analog audio connections. Use regular RCA stereo cords for these
connections. Also hook up the video connection on your DVD player, and your TV to this receiver. For your TV it's
easiest to use a regular composite (RCA) video cord, as shown below.
Digital Connections
Some DVD players have both coaxial and optical terminals, but there is no need to connect both. If your DVD player
has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook it up using this terminal. Follow the diagram
below. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of this receiver and won't need to
assign the digital inputs (you should use DIGITAL IN 3).
If your DVD player only has an optical terminal for the audio output you can hook it up using one of the DIGITAL IN
terminals 1 or 2 (for example, DIGITAL IN 2). In this case, you will need to assign the digital input (which means tell
the receiver which input you used for your DVD digital audio). See page 12 for this.
