Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-7.7 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-7.7.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DPC-7.7 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control­ler may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con­troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert­ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-7.7 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-7.7.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta­cle between it and the DPC-7.7’s remote control sen­sor.

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right­channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.
Right (red)
Left (white)
(Yellow)
• Push the plugs in all the way to make a good connection.
•To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.
Video
HDMI connections can carry uncompressed, standard or high definition digital video and dig­ital audio, for the best picture and sound quality.
Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (P the best picture quality. (Some TV manufactur­ers label their component video inputs slightly differently.)
