Connecting the DPC-7.7
This chapter explains how to connect the DPC-7.7 to
your other AV components.
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Jack
The DPC-7.7’s optical digital jack has shutter-type cover
that open when an optical plug is inserted and close
when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.
RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded:
red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• Push the plugs in all the way
to make a good connection.
• To prevent interference, keep
audio and video cables away
from power cords and speaker
cables.
