What‘s Included
Installing and Connecting the Equipment
When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers, it is
always a good practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet. This
prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals
to the speakers that may damage them.
Refer to the attached Quick Installation diagrams and the Rear Panel
Connections diagrams for the DCR600 and DVD600 on pages 16 and 20
when connecting your equipment.
We recommend a simple connection of your system components to each
other, plus a video connection to your television. After you have made
these connections, you may wish to read further in this owner’s manual for
information on connecting other components, such as external tape or dig-
ital recorders, CD players, laserdisc players, cable television boxes,
satellite dishes, video games or other devices.
Important Note: Any cables run inside walls should be CL3/FT4 rated, or
carry any other certification that is required by the NEC or state and local
building and electrical codes. To avoid interference, audio and speaker
cables should not be parallel to, or run in the same conduits or path with,
AC cables. If you have any questions about wiring, consult your dealer or
electrical contractor.
