This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input terminals for the DVD player connection. You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals. However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input terminal are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminal are output only through the S-video output terminal. Therefore, if your DVD player is connected to the receiver only through the S-video input terminal, you cannot record the picture from the DVD player on the VCR. In addition, if the TV and the DVD player are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the DVD player on the TV.

Digital connections

This receiver is equipped with two DIGITAL IN terminals one digital coaxial terminal and one digital optical terminal. You can connect any component to one of the digital terminals using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not supplied).
Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet. Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is wellshielded against interference.

When connecting the DVD player or the DBS tuner using the digital terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you can view no playback picture. After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, set the following correctly if necessary. Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For details, see Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminal Setting on page 14. Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode on page 14.
The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases: When you unplug the power cord. When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
CD player MD recorder Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.
When the component has a digital coaxial output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied).
When the component has a digital optical output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 2 (CD), using a digital optical cable (not supplied).
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover. 2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and () to (). 3. Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries. CAUTION:
Before connecting a digital optical cable, unplug the protective plug.
When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals has been set for use with the following components. DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player When you want to operate the CD player or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target component also as described in Analog connections (see page 5). When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as described in Analog connections (see page 5).
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells: Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+) and () to (). Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
