17IMPORTANT NOTESA. The AC plug connections should always bethe last connections made when installing anA/V system. When making subsequent connec-tions to audio source equipment or speakers,it is always a good practice to unplug the unitfrom the AC wall outlet. This prevents the pos-sibility of sending audio or transient signals tothe speakers that may damage them.B. Connect devices as per the Quick SetupGuide or per pages 6 through 8 of this manual.C. The DCR600II offers both composite andS-Video inputs and outputs. However, eitherS-Video or composite input/output connectionsshould be used throughout the system in orderfor it to function properly. Do not use S-Video andcomposite video connections interchangeably.D. The digital outputs are active only when adigital signal is present, and they do not con-vert an analog input to a digital signal, orchange the format of the digital signal. Inaddition, any digital recorder used must becompatible with the output signal. For exam-ple, the PCM digital input from a CD playermay be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, butDolby Digital or DTS signals may not.¡ Coaxial Digital Audio Output: Connectto the coaxial digital input connector on aCD-R or MiniDisc recorder.™ Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect to coaxdigital output of a digital source. The signalmay be either a Dolby Digital signal, DTS sig-nal or a standard PCM digital source. Do notconnect the RF digital output of an LD player tothese jacks. To benefit from the factory defaultsetting of the DCR600II, it is recommendedthat you plug the Coaxial Digital Outputof the DVD600II into the jack marked “1 (DVD)”on the DCR600II.£ Optical Digital Input: Connect to opticaldigital output of a digital source. The signalmay be either a Dolby Digital signal, a DTSsignal or a standard PCM digital source.¢ LFE/Subwoofer Output: Connect to theLFE or line-level input of an optional poweredsubwoofer. Do not use this connector with theSCS135P subwoofer included.∞ 6-Channel Direct Inputs: When anoptional, external processor or playback devicewith 5.1-channel audio capability, such as aDVD-Audio player, is in use, connect the player’soutput jacks to these inputs.§ Tape Inputs: Connect to PLAY/OUT jacksof an audio recorder.¶ Tape Outputs: Connect to RECORD/INPUTjacks of an audio recorder.• CD Inputs: Connect to output of a CD player.NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed andvariable audio outputs, it is best to use thefixed output unless you find that the input tothe receiver is so low that the sound is noisy,or so high that the signal is distorted.ª Remote IR Input: If the DCR600II’s frontpanel IR sensor is blocked due to cabinet doorsor other obstructions, an external IR sensormay be used. Connect the output of the sensorto this jack.‚ Remote IR Output: Permits the IR sensorin the receiver to serve other remote-controlleddevices. Connect this jack to the “IR IN” jackon the DVD600II or other compatible equip-ment.⁄ DVD Video Inputs: Connect to compositeor S-Video output jacks on a DVD.DCR600II Rear Panel ConnectionsMODEL NO.
