Connecting your equipment
This amplifier provides you with almost limitless possibilities for connecting your audio/video system, but it doesn’t
have to be difficult. Depending on your needs, you could be up and running in no time after a few simple connections.
This section has been designed so that you can read through this short introduction, then jump to the specific
connections that you need to make. For a basic home theater setup, you may only need to look through the TV, DVD
and speaker connections.

• Before making or changing the connections, switch
off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in components should be the
last connection you make with your system.
