the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen
interference. Coaxial cable is recommended for the antenna
connection, since such cable is well-shielded against
interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power _ _
cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels
and sound adjustments may be erased within a few days. I

3Close the terminal.
•How to connect the subwoofer
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with
RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
•Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.
By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or
reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital
software.
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a
subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of
yOU.
After connecting the front, center, surround speakers and/
or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly
to obtain the best possible Surround effects with your
listening conditions. For details, see pages 15 and 16.
• "NO" for the subwoofer, "LARGE" for the front speakers,
and "SMALl" for the center and surround speakers are
initial settings.

Turn the power off to all components before making connections.
You can connect the following audio/video components to this receiver. Refer also to the manuals supplied with your
components.
• Audio Components: CD player _ and Cassette deck (or CD recorder s)
• Video Components: VCR, TV_, and DVD player _
Youcan connect these components using the methods described in "Analogconnections" (below)and/or in "Digitalconnections" (seepage 10).
Analog Connections
Audiocomponent connections
Use cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack and the red plug
to the audio right jack.
CAUTION:
If you connect a sound-enhancing device such as a graphic equalizer
between the source components and this receiver, the sound output
through this receiver may be distorted.

Note:
You can connect either a cassette deck or a CD recorder to the

appears on the display when selected as the source, See page 12
for details.
If your audio components have a COMPU LINK jack
See also page 29 for detailed information about the connections with the COMPU LINK remote control system.
Video component connections
Use cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
To get better picture quality
RX-6030VBK and RX-6032VSL have the following
video terminals and you can use any of them to
connect a video component:
•VIDEO (composite video) terminals
• S-VIDEO terminals
• COMPONENT VIDEO terminals
RX-6032V
ONLY
If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals,
connect them using an S-video cable (not supplied).
If your video components have component video (Y, PB, PR)
terminals, connect them using a component video cable (not
supplied).
By using these terminals, you can get better picture quality in the
order of-- Composite video < S-video < Component video.
However, remember that the video signals from one type of
input terminals are sent only through the video output
terminals of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the receiver through different types of
video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing
component onto the recording component. In addition, if the TV and
a playing video component are connected to the receiver through
different types of video terminals, you cannot view the playback
picture from the playing component on the TV.

Digital Connections
This receiver is equipped with two DIGITAL IN terminals_ne
digital coaxial terminal and one digital optical terminal.
You can connect any component to one of the digital terminals
using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical
cable (not supplied).
Digital coaxial cable
Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure
that all connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen
interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to
connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against
interference.
CAUTIONS:
•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
• De net pull on the power cordto unplug the cord.When unplugging
the cord, always grasp the plug so as net to damage the cord.
Digital optical cable
IM PORTANT:
• When connecting a video component using the digital terminal, you
also need to connect it to the video jack on the rear. Without
connecting it to the video jack, you cannot view the playback picture.
• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals,
correctly set the following if necessary:
-Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For
details, see "Selecting the Digital Input Terminals--DIGiTAL IN" on
page 16.
-Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see "Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode" on page 17.
When the component has a digital
coaxial output terminal, connect it to the_
DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using the _ I
digital coaxial cable (not supplied). _ I SiGITAL1
When the component has a digital _o_fa_t
optical output terminal, connect it to the _ /
DIGITAL 2 (CD) terminal, using the [_, ISlGITAL2(CO)
digital optical cable (not supplied). _

Before connecting a
digital optica, cab,e, _
unplug the protective
plug.
Notes:
•When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have been
set for use with the following components:
-DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player
-DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player
• When you want to operate the CD player or CD recorder using the
COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target component
also as described in "Analog connections" (see page 7).
• When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU
LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as
described in '_Analog connections" (see page 9).
Before using the remote control, put in two the supplied
batteries first.
•When using the remote control, aim the remote control
directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.
l! On the back of the remote F_--_i---_
control, remove the _
battery cover.
2 Insert batteries.
• Makesure to matchthe polarity:
(+)to (+) and (-) to (-).
3Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,
replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-
cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• De net expose batteries to heat or flame.
