For a good picture quality, use the RCA video cable.
For a higher quality picture, purchase an S-Video cable, or for the best picture quality, purchase
a component video cable.
NOTE: When in AV1 or AV2 mode, only composite video sources have a video output signal. Connect only the
RCA video cable to your television set.
2 Connect the audio
3 Connect the speakers
NOTE: This DVD home theater system is designed to reproduce optimum sound quality when the supplied
speakers are used. If you want to connect speakers other than the ones supplied, they should be 6 ohms
impedance for the speakers and 3 ohms impedance for the subwoofer.
Make sure that you use the correct polarity when connecting the speakers (colored wire connects to the
matched color terminal clip).
To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the speaker output terminals.
To connect the speakers:
Press the speaker terminal clip down and insert the wire, then release the clip.
Connect all speakers in the same manner.
Caution:
Do not remove too much insulation from the wire cables to avoid the stripped
portions from touching each other. The optimal length for the stripped part should
be around 1/3 inch (or 1cm).
Do not push the stripped part too far into the speaker connectors.
