DIGITAL CONNECTION
If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make 
use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to 
carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical 
or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When 
optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording 
through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial 
digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components 
(e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to 
select the corresponding digital input source. 
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video 
connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video 
provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow 
RCA connector) can also be used. It is
important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the 
Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home 
Theater.
FRONT TERMINAL
Remark: If you have a video camera, 
video game machine, or an extra 
VCR, connect it to VAUX input at the 
front of the receiver
DIGITAL INPUT
Connect components 
capable of outputing Dolby 
Digital (e.g. DVD or SAT) or 
standard PCM (CD) format 
digital signals. Read section 
on "Input Signal Setting" 
under "Advanced Sound 
Control" carefully to adjust 
the matching input settings. 
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. 
What you need is just one more optical digital connecting cable (not supplied). Plug it in 
the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver setting (see 
details on pg 20 chapter "Input Signal Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality 
brought to you by the optical cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still 
needed for recording to tape output. 
S-VIDEO
If your video component has a S-Video jack 
included, you can make use of it to enjoy 
enhanced video quality by connecting it to the 
relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the 
receiver. One S-video cable is needed for each 
component. When S-Video cable is used, 
composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable 
must also be connected for VCR recording.
Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or 
S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of 
the plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to 
plug in completely.
