Here is explanation of how to connect the main components to the
TX-SR500/SR500E in the standard manner. There are many ways
that any one component can be connected, and it is up to you to
decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given
here are only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is
best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal
as well as each of your components and their features to ascertain
which method of connection is best.

• Be sure to always refer to the instruction manual that came

with the component that you are connecting.

• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have

been made.

• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the

right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the
left channel, and yellow connectors (marked VIDEO) are
used for video connection.

• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections

can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the
equipment.

• Do not bind audio connection cables with power cords and

speaker cables. Doing so may adversely effect the sound
quality.
