Connecting to Audio/Video equipment
• Be sure to always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been
properly made.
• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the
right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the
left channel, and yellow connectors (marked V) 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/video connection cables with power cords
and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the
picture and sound quality.
• The optical digital jacks are all of the shutter-type
construction. Connect an optical cable by first making sure
the cable is oriented correctly and then inserting it into the
jack pushing the shutter lid inwards.
