Example of how to connect your equipment

Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the DTR-7.1. Refer to the diagram on pages 16 and 17 for the following connection examples.

1. Connecting a turntable

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the turntable to the PHONO IN jacks on the DTR-7.1. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The DTR-7.1 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.

2. Connecting a compact disc player

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the compact disc player to the CD IN jacks on the DTR-7.1. 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 jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DTR-7.1 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the DTR-7.1, the CD input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).

3.Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminals (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN jacks on the DTR-

7.1and the input terminals (REC) to the TAPE OUT jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DTR-7.1 depending on the type of connector on the device.

If you connect the device to the DIGITAL INPUT terminal, then this input source must be set for digital input at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input.

If the device also has a digital input jack, it can be connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DTR-7.1 for digital recording of the source for REC OUT at the DTR-7.1.

Caution:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DTR-7.1 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.

Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the DTR-7.1. Refer to the diagram on pages 16 and 17 for the following connection examples.

The flow of the video signals is as follows:

•The signal that comes in from VIDEO IN is sent to VIDEO OUT.

•The signal that comes in from S VIDEO IN is sent to S VIDEO OUT

•The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO IN is sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.

Caution:

If only the video connection for the MONITOR OUT is made, even if the input from each source component is through a component video connection, the picture will not appear. If only the S video connection for the MONITOR OUT is made, the picture will not appear.

4. Connecting a DVD player or LD player

Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video output terminal (composite) on the device to the DVD VIDEO IN jack on the DTR-7.1. If there is an S video output terminal on the device, connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN jack using an S video cable. If the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the device to the audio DVD IN jacks on the DTR-7.1. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DTR-7.1 depending on the type of connector on the DVD player.

With the initial settings of the DTR-7.1, the DVD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL 1 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Audio Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).

5. Connecting a video cassette recorder

Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video output terminal (composite) on the video cassette recorder to the VIDEO 2 IN jacks on the DTR-7.1 and video input terminal to the VIDEO 2 OUT jacks. If there is an S video input/output terminal on the video cassette recorder, connect it to the S VIDEO 2 IN/ OUT jack using an S video cable. If the video cassette recorder has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the video cassette recorder to the same VIDEO 2 IN audio jacks on the DTR-7.1 and audio input terminal to the VIDEO 2 OUT audio jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
