Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the TX-DS797. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

1. Connecting a turntable (PH)

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the turntable to the PH input jacks on the TX-DS797. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The TX-DS797 is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.

2. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the compact disc player to the CD input jacks on the TX- DS797. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the compact disc player has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) jack on the TX-DS797 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS797, the CD input source is set for digital input at the OPT 1 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 33).

3.Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder (TAPE)

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminals (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN jacks on the TX- DS797 and the input terminals (REC) to the TAPE OUT jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) jack on the TX-DS797 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the TX-DS797, the TAPE input source is set for digital input at the OPT 2 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 33).

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-DS797 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
