Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the DTR-7.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

AUDIO IN/OUT

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

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT

On the rear panel of the DTR-7.3, there are three coaxial digital inputs, three 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 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 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 DTR-7.3. 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 COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the DTR-7.3 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the DTR-7.3, the CD input source is set for digital input at the OPT 1 jack.

If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be changed at Setup Menu → Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 46).

2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable to the PHONO audio jacks of the DTR-7.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The DTR-7.3 is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.

3.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 AUDIO IN jacks of the DTR-7.3 and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE AUDIO OUT jacks of the DTR-7.3. 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 COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the DTR-7.3 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the DTR-7.3, the TAPE input source is set for digital input at the OPT 2 jack.

If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be changed at Setup Menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 46).

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPT jack of the DTR-7.3 for digital recording of the REC OUT signal from the DTR-7.3.

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DTR-7.3 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
