Connecting other audio components

The number and kind of connections depends on the kind of component you’re connecting.1 Follow the steps below to connect a CD-R, MD, DAT, tape recorder or other audio component.

1If your component has a digital output, connect this to a digital input on the receiver as shown.

The example shows an optical connection to the DIGITAL OPT 1 (CD) input.

2If necessary, connect the analog audio outputs of the component to a set of spare audio inputs on this receiver.

You’ll need to make this connection for components without a digital output, or if you want to record from a digital component. Use a stereo RCA phono cable as shown.

3If you’re connecting a recorder, connect the analog audio outputs to the analog audio inputs on the recorder.

The example shows an analog connection to the CD-R/TAPE/MDanalog output jack using a stereo RCA phono cable.

About the WMA9 Pro decoder

This unit has an on-board Windows Media® Audio 9 Professional (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro- compatible player.

However, the connected DVD player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.

Note

1Note that you must connect digital components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components.
