nents to the receiver in order to use the Home Theater Audio Sys-

tem’s surround sound capabilities.

Connecting a TV

Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a TV to the receiver.

Connect red plugs to the red

AUDIO

jacks and white plugs to the

white

AUDIO

jacks.

If your TV has an S-Video jack, use an S-Video cable to connect your

TV to the receiver’s

S-VIDEO OUT

. If your TV does not have an S-Vid-

eo jack, use audio/video cord to connect your TV to the receiver’s

MONITOR OUT

Connecting a Cassette Deck

Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a cassette deck to

the receiver. Connect red plugs to the red

AUDIO

jacks and white

plugs to the white

AUDIO

jacks. Make sure you connect the VCR to

both the

TAPE

and

TAPE

OUT

sets of jacks.

Note:

If the cassette deck is placed too close to the receiver, noise

might occur during cassette playback. If this happens, move the cas-

sette deck farther away from the receiver.

Connecting a VCR

Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a VCR to the receiv-

er. Connect red plugs to the red

AUDIO

jacks and white plugs to the

white

Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a satellite receiver or

cable box to the receiver. Connect red plugs to the red

AUDIO

jacks

and white plugs to the white

AUDIO

jacks.

Note:

Your cable box or satellite receiver must use audio/video cords

or Toslink optical cable to connect to the receiver. If your equipment

only uses coaxial cable, you cannot connect it to the receiver.

If your satellite receiver or cable box has digital output, use an optical

cable to connect the satellite receiver to the home theater receiver’s

SAT IN

optical jack. If your satellite receiver or cable box does not

have digital output, use analog cable to connect it to the home theater

receiver’s

SAT IN

video jack.

Connecting a Digital Optical Audio Devices

You can connect a digital audio device such as an DAT (Digital Au-

dioTape) or MD (Mini Disc) recorder to the receiver’s

DIGITAL OUT

record audio from the receiver. Use Toslink optical cable to connect

the DAT or MD recorder to the receiver’s

DIGITAL OUT

optical jack.

You can also connect a satellite receiver, MD or DAT recorder, CD

player, or anything else with digital output to the receiver’s

SAT IN

op-

tical jack. Use Toslink optical cable to connect the desired device to

the receiver.

Connecting an Auxiliary Audio Device

You can also connect an audio device that does not require Toslink

(such as an MP3 player, playback cassette deck, or portable CD

player) to the Home Theater Audio System. Use audio cords to con-

nect the desired device to the receiver’s

AUX

jacks. Connect red

plugs to the red

AUDIO

Connecting a Second Sub Woofer

You can connect a second or larger powered subwoofer to the sys-

tem. Connect the sub woofer to the receiver’s

SUB WOOFER PRE-OUT

jack using shielded audio cable (not supplied).

CONNECTING ANTENNAS

When connecting equipment, always make sure the power is

switched off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

FM Indoor Antenna

In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna (supplied)

is sufficient.

1. Use a flat or Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the

supplied transformer.

2. Place the metal connectors on the end of theT-type antenna’s

base on the transformer’s metal contacts (underneath the screw

heads) then tighten the screws.

3. Plug the transformer into

ANTENNA FM

Ω

4. Extend the T-antenna’s other two wires and attach them to a wall

or window frame for the best possible reception.

If you have a cable FM antenna, use a coaxial cable to connect it to

ANTENNA FM

Ω

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, you must use a 75-ohm un-

balanced-type outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Generally, a 3-ele-

ment antenna will be sufficient. If you live in an area where the FM

signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5

or more elements.

Connect the antenna’s coaxial cable to the supplied transformer.

Plug the transformer into

ANTENNA FM

Ω

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The supplied high-performance AM loop antenna is sufficient for

good reception in most areas.
