Connecting the DV-SP303/DV-SP303E
• 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 Inputs (not North American
and European models)
The DV-SP303/DV-SP303E’s optical digital connectors
have a shutter-type cover that opens when an optical plug
is inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug
in all the way.
RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded:
red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (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.
