Connecting the DV-CP802

This chapter explains how to connect the DV-CP802 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 Output

The DV-CP802’s optical digital out-
put socket has a dust cap for keeping
out dust and dirt when it’s not in use.
Remove the cap before inserting an
optical plug, and push the plug in all
the way to make a good connection.
Keep the dust cap in a safe place for
future use.

RCA AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Push each plug in all the way to

make a good connection (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).

• To prevent interference, keep

audio and video cables away
from power cords and speaker
cables.
