Using standard RCA-to-RCA interconnect cords, connect theleft and right Fixed Audio Outputjacks ™ on the rear panel to the CDinput jacks on your receiver, surroundprocessor or preamplifier.If your system includes an optional,external digital-to-analog converter, orif you are using a receiver or other pro-cessor that has the capability to decodePCM digital input signals, connect theCoaxial Digital Output jack ¡ tothe Datastream Digital input on thedecoder. Make certain to use a coaxial-style interconnect cable, as standardaudio cables will not perform as well.Install the two AA batteries supplied withthe HD720’s remote by turning the remoteover so that you are holding the bottomside up. Press lightly on the embossedarrow on the cover, and gently slide thecover towards you in the direction of thearrow.
