Connecting the external inputs (EXT. IN) terminals

•These terminals are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD-Audio player, or a multi-channel Super Audio CD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder.

•The video signal connection is the same as that for a DVD player ( page 9).

•For instructions on playback using the external input (EXT. IN) terminals ( page 25).

•With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, the digital signals may not be output from the DVD player. In this case, connect the DVD player’s analog multi-channel output to the AVR-887’s EXT. IN terminals for playback. Also refer to your DVD player’s operating instructions.

•The phono input can accept signals from moving magnet (MM) and high output moving coil (MC) phono cartridges. If your turntable is equipped with a low output MC cartridge, you will need to use a separate MC head amplifier or step-up MC transformer.

NOTE:

•If humming or other noise is generated when the ground wire is connected to the SIGNAL GND terminal, disconnect the ground wire.
