Connections

Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have connected all your devices.

This section focuses on the connections from your 200-Disc CD Changer to the VR-5900. Please refer to your changer’s instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.

Each set of instructions in this section shows one of several possible variations on connecting your CD player(s). For further assistance on optional configurations, contact the store where you purchased your CD player(s).

The illustration shows a Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changer. Your CD player may look different.

The Kenwood CD-3280M and CD-2280M 200-Disc Chang- ers contain two CD transports. You must connect these de- vices as though they were two CD players.

What if I Have a Video CD-Compatible CD Player?

Connect the audio and video cables from the CD player to any unused Video jack set.

Do not connect the system control cable in this instance.

To Connect a Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changer:

1.Connect one set of audio cables from the 200-Disc Changer to the receiver’s CD1 jacks. If you have a CD-3280M or CD-2280M, connect Output A to the receiver’s CD1 jacks and Output B to the receiver’s CD2/ TAPE2 MONITOR PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.

2.Connect the digital cable from the changer to the receiver’s CD1 digital jack as shown to the left.

The illustration shows two digital connections, one for coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your CD player supports one or the other of these connec- tion methods—do not connect both.

3.Connect the system control cable from the changer to the SYSTEM CONTROL jack as shown to the left.

Be sure that the SL16/XS8 switch on the changer is set to SL16.

4.Connect the SL16 text cable (communication cable) from the changer to the receiver’s SL16 TEXT jack as shown to the left.

To Connect Any Other Primary CD Player or Changer:

1.Connect the audio cables from the CD player’s audio jacks to the receiver’s CD1 jack set as shown to the left.

2.Connect the digital cable from the CD player’s digital jack to the receiver’s CD1 digital jack as shown to the left.

The illustration shows two digital connections, one for coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your CD player supports one or the other of these connec- tion methods—do not connect both.
