Never use strong solvents. Inserting Batteries into Remote Control Insert two AA(R6) batteries according to the + and signs on the battery compartment. To use the remote control, point it directly at your receiver. Whenever a button is pressed, a red indicator will light up on the remote control. Protect your Components from Overheating · Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. · Do not stack components directly on top of each other. · Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand. Install batteries as follows: 1. Remove battery compartment door by applying thumb pressure on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet. 2. Insert 2 AA batteries in the compartment and replace the compartment door. · Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not affect other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on the top shelf. 3 Getting Started Connecting to Audio-Visual Components DIGITAL CONNECTION 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. DVD to S-VIDEO OUT (DVD) to VIDEO OUT (DVD) 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. to AUDIO OUT (SAT) to VIDEO OUT (SAT) to AUDIO OUT(DVD) SAT to S-VIDEO OUT (SAT) 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.
