Your amplifier has many plugs when you turn it around and have a look at the rear. Amplifiers have changed over the years and can be very confusing when needing to be set up to your TV, DVD, Blu-ray etc.
Here is a brief explanation of the inputs:
Digital In – is for connecting digital audio from your DVD, Blu-ray etc. This can be done by using a coaxial or optical cable.
AV Inputs – this is a more basic way of connecting your DVD, Foxtel etc with the yellow, red and white RCA cables.
Component video – for connecting analog video from a DVD etc using component cables, 9/10 connection.
HDMI in – for connecting your Blu-Ray, HD Foxtel etc, 10/10 connection (video and audio).
HDMI out – connecting the amplifier to the TV via a HDMI cable, 10/10 connection.
Monitor out – connecting the amplifier to the TV with composite cables, 4/10 connection.
Sub pre-out – this is for connection of an active (powered) subwoofer.
Speaker terminals – for the connection of your speakers (front left, front right, centre, real left and rear right).
