Connections
• Before making any connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all connections.
Connection Color Coding
RCA-type audio connections are usually color-coded:
red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”).
• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose connec-
tions can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from
power cords and speaker cables.
• If the TV picture is distorted, or noise is heard in the
output sound of the CD/HDD receiver, install the
CD/HDD receiver as far as possible from the TV.
Optical Digital Input Terminal
The optical digital input terminal of the CD/HDD
receiver is a type of terminal with cover. Insert the opti-
cal digital cable while pushing the cover inwards.
Notes:
• Plug or unplug the optical digital cable in straight direc-
tion.
• If you plug or unplug the cable slantingly, the cover may
be damaged.
• Do not put anything on top of the CD/HDD receiver, as it
may interfere with proper ventilation, leading to malfunc-
tion.
