Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
1 1 1 1 1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player & TV
In order to use Dolby Digital , MPEG or DTS soundtracks you need to hook up your DVD player with digital audio
connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection, you don’t need to do both. The
quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some DVD players only have one type of digital
terminal you need to figure out which yours has and hook it up to the appropriate terminal on the
Amplifier . In
order to do this you will need the proper cable. For coaxial connections you can use a regular Phono video cord
or the specially-made coaxial cords, they have the same type of plugs. For optical connections you will need a
special optical cable which you can buy at your local stereo store. For more detail on cords/cables see page 25.
You should also hook up your DVD player with analog audio connections. Use regular Phono stereo cords for
these connections. Also hook up the video connection on your DVD player and your TV to this
Amplifier . For your
TV it's easiest to use a regular composite Phono video cord, as shown below. It is important that you hook up
your TV (or monitor) in order to see a video image as well as the on screen displays (OSDs) shown by this
Amplifier (for more see page 18).
Digital Connections
Some DVD players have both coaxial and optical terminals, but there is is no need to connect both. If your DVD
player has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook it up using this terminal. Follow the
diagram below using DIGITAL IN 1. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of
this
amplifier and won't need to assign the digital inputs.

If your DVD player only has an optical terminal for the audio output you can hook it up using one of the DIGITAL
IN terminals between 4-7 (for example, DIGITAL IN 4). In this case, you will need to assign the digital input
(which means tell the
amplifier which input you used for your DVD digital audio). See page 13 for this.
You only need to make
one DIGITAL connection.
