Connecting to an audio system

Two types of output jacks are located on the rear panel.

Use the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack if you are connecting the unit to audio equipment that supports a digital connection.

ANALOG OUTPUT jacks:

These are the most commonly used jacks. Connect these jacks to the amplifier’s CD input jacks using the supplied audio connection cable.

DIGITAL OUTPUT (optical output) jack:

For digital recording, connect this jack to the digital input jack of a Mini Disc recorder, a DAT deck, or other digital equipment. If your amplifier has a digital input jack, connecting the DIGITAL OUT- PUT jack to it will produce a much clearer and more dynamic sound.

Terminal protection cap is attached to the digital jack.

Remove the cap when connecting the unit to other digital equip- ment. When you are not using the digital output jack, replace the cap.

Refer to the amplifier’s instruction manual for connections.

Connections for remote controller ()

When connecting Onkyo/Integra products, it is necessary to attach

the cable to be able to use the remote controller of the main component to control the entire system.

1.To use this CD changer with an amplifier (or receiver), cassette

tape deck, and tuner that include the appropriate jack, con-

nect the components using the cable, plugged into the REMOTE CONTROL jacks.

2.As the exact connection sequence of the cable is unimpor- tant, you can connect from the amplifier (or receiver) to either the

tuner, cassette tape deck, or compact disc changer.

3.To operate correctly, the remote controller must point toward the remote control sensor of the amplifier (or receiver).

Notes:

The upper and lower REMOTE CONTROL jacks have the same function.

Remote controller operation is not possible when only the cable is connected – the audio connection cables must also be

connected.

An cable equipped with a 3.5mm (1/8 in.) diameter minia- ture two-conductor phone plug is included with this unit and

with every tuner and cassette tape deck that utilizes the jack.
