Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the TX-SR600/600E. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

AUDIO IN/OUT

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are six audio inputs and two audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT

On the rear panel of the TX-SR600/600E, there are one coaxial digital input, two optical digital inputs, and one optical digital output. To the digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players, or other digital source component. To the digital output, connect an MD recorder, CD recorder, DAT deck, or other similar component.

•Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT, make sure that the connection to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.

•When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical fiber cable.

1.Connecting a compact disc player (CD)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E. 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, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, the CD input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack (OPT 1). If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).

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

Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the TX-SR600/600E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks. If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the TX-SR600/600E, nothing is allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).

If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate changes at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR600/600E for digital recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR600/600E.

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR600/ 600E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
