Cables and considerations for further additions
Use standard RCA audio cables, inserting the white connector into the L (left) jack Audio IN
jack and the red connector into the R (right) jack (Figure 30).
• If the component does not have right and left output jacks, use a Y adapter to connect it to
the media center. Appropriate cables and adapters are available at most electronics stores.
• If the component has a digital output, use the corresponding digital input beneath the set of
analog (L and R) inputs. Or, if the component has an optical output, you can use the optical
input on the media center. With either type of digital connection, be sure to use an analog
connection as well.
Note:
If you make an optical connection, be sure to activate it following the instructions in
“Activating an optical connection” on page 27.
Connecting external playback equipment
Other playback components, like an audio CD changer, can be connected to the AUX or
other unused inputs on the rear panel of the media center (Figure 30).
