If no digital audio output is available on your DVD,
in order to truly take advantage of the potential
of the MAINstage, we suggest you upgrade to a
unit that has one. (Cost: about $80) Otherwise,
connect the analog left and right RCA output to
the Analog 2 RCA inputs on the MAINstage.
If that input is in use, connect to Analog 1 using
stereo 1/8” mini-jack. Get adapter from Radio
Shack, catalog #274-769 or #274-883 gold.
