Tips & Warnings
It's easy to lose track of which cable belongs to which device. Consider labeling the cables using a marker and a piece of masking tape.
Make sure to plug the cables for the same device into the jacks under the same "INPUT" section. If you plug the video cable or cables for your DVD player into the jack or jacks under "INPUT 2", then the audio cables would also be plugged in under "INPUT 2".
