Before connecting
• Be sure to always refer to the instruction manual that came
with the component that you are connecting.
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have
been made.
• For input jacks, red connectors are used for the right
channel, white connectors are used for the left channel, and
yellow connectors are used for video connection.
• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections
can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the
equipment.
• Do not bind audio connection cables with power cords and
speaker cables. Doing so may adversely effect the sound
quality.
Improper connection
Inserted completely
• To connect the digital output from a component
connected to the TAPE jacks to this unit, use the
OPTICAL or COAXIAL input jack.
In this case, it is required to change the assignment of
digital inputs to input sources by referring to “Setting the
digital inputs” on page 21.
• The TAPE OUT jack does not output the signal input
from the DIGITAL INPUT jack. (The digital signal is not
converted into an analog signal.)
• To connect the digital output from CD player connected
to the CD jacks to this unit, use the OPTICAL input jack.
To connect the digital output to the COAXIAL input jack
of this unit, it is required to change the assignment of
digital inputs to input sources by referring to “Setting the
digital inputs” on page 21.
DO NOT connect the
power cord at this
time.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the HT-R420 using the
following video connection formats : Video or S Video, the latter
offering the better picture quality.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the HT-
R420 doesn’t convert between format, so only output connectors of
the same format as the input connector will output a signal.
For example, if you connect your DVD player to the S VIDEO
DVD IN, a video signal will be output by the S VIDEO MONITOR
OUT (for your TV) and the S VIDEO VIDEO 1 OUT (for your
VCR), but not the composite video outputs.
