1. Before proceeding, make certain that all equipment, including the 2.0, is unplugged from AC power. This will prevent any
damage due to the unintended activation of automatic turn-on circuits.

2. Using high-quality audio interconnect cables, connect the audio and video output (including the “Play/Out” outputs of
VCR or cassette decks) on your source equipment according to the following chart. If your equipment list requires different
connections, you will need to make some setup changes as detailed on page 23 of this manual.

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your
new 2.0 during shipment were specially designed to
cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping
if you move or should the unit ever need repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may
wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape
seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a
more two-dimensional appearance. Other cardboard
inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing
materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along
with the carton in a plastic bag. 

If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please
note that the carton and other sections of the shipping
protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment
and discard those materials at a local recycling center.

In order to help you use this manual with diagrams of
