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. 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. 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. · 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 DPL560-EN 4/11/02 5:27 PM Page 8 Getting Started Connecting to Audio-Visual Components 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/DTS 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. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable that is connected from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater. DVD to VIDEO OUT (DVD) DIGITAL INPUT Connect components capable of outputing DTS / 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.

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. Note: This receiver has one digital optical jack only. Be sure that such connection does not prevent optical cable connection of other components (e.g. DVD & SAT) 4 DPL560-EN 4/11/02 5:27 PM Page 9 Getting Started Digital Connections Read instructions carefully when connecting components to the receiver. Digital In Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS or PCM signals when compatible components are connected. AM Loop Antenna and FM Indoor Antenna 1.
