Analog audio cables
Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect analog audio
components. These cables are typically red and white, and
you should connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals and
white plugs to L (left) terminals.
Digital audio cables
Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical
cables should be used to connect digital components to this
receiver.
Note
• When connecting optical cables, be careful when
inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting
the optical socket.
When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be
damaged if bent around sharp corners.
• You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial
digital connections.
Video cables
Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of video connection
and are used to connect to the composite video terminals.
The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
Component video cables
Use component video cables to get the best possible color
reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV
is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (P
B and
P
R) signals and then output. In this way, interference between
the signals is avoided.
About video outputs connection
This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you
use component video cables or HDMI cables for connecting
to the input device, the same cables should be used for
connecting to the TV.
The signals input from the analog (composite and
component) video inputs of this unit will not be output from
the HDMI OUT.
