Rear panel facilities

Here is an explanation of the terminals found on the rear of the TX- DS898 and how they are used. Before connecting your audio and video components, be sure to read this section carefully and then proceed to the explanations on how to connect each individual component (see page 15).

Be sure to always refer to the instructions that came with the component that you are connecting.

Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been made.

For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the left channel, and yellow connectors (marked V) are used for video connection.

Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT (coaxial and optical)

These are the digital audio inputs and outputs on the rear panel. There are three digital inputs with coaxial jacks and four with optical jacks. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output, there is 1 optical output. The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.

Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.

When using one of the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.

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