3Ground Screw

This is commonly used for the ground connection wire of a turntable, to prevent any hum in your speakers. It is tied to the chassis ground, and may be used as needed.

Note: It is not necessary or desirable to connect this to an electrical ground.

4Audio Inputs

These audio inputs connect to the outputs of your turntable, DAT or TAPE player. Any standard audio component with a line-level output can be connected to DAT or TAPE. Only a turntable with a moving-magnet, or high-output moving coil cartridge can be connected to the PHONO input.

Audio Outputs

These audio outputs connect to the analog record inputs of your tape decks, such as DAT, cassette or reel to reel. These outputs allow you to record the selected audio program. Note that these also allow analog recording from digital audio sources.

Stereo Outputs

FIXED MAIN is a line level output, and the volume is not adjustable. This can be used as a record output, or to feed another audio system. ZONE 2 connects to the inputs of a stereo amplifier to run Zone 2. The volume and source are adjustable, either from the front panel, or from a remote IR sensor.

Side-Axis Outputs

These outputs provide two optional front side channels to complement the left, center, right, surround and surround back channels. They can be turned on or off using the Speaker Size OSD menu (see page 56).
