Connecting analog audio sources

This receiver features three stereo audio-only inputs. Two of these inputs have corresponding outputs for use with audio recorders.

One of the audio inputs (PHONO) is a dedicated turntable input which should not be used for any other type of component. This input also has a grounding terminal that most turntables require.

1Connect the analog audio outputs of the source component to one of the AUDIO inputs.

Connect using a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable.

•If you’re connecting a tape deck, MD recorder, etc., connect the analog audio outputs (OUT) to the analog audio inputs on the recorder.

2Turntables only: Connect the stereo audio outputs to the PHONO inputs.

•If your turntable has a grounding wire, secure it to the ground terminal on this receiver.

2

• If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e., it has a

built-in phono pre-amp), connect it to the CD inputs

 

 

instead.
