Integra DTR-7.2 instruction manual Connections, Connecting your audio components

Connections

Here is an explanation of how to connect the main components to the DTR-7.2 in the standard manner. There are many ways that any one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as each of your components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.

Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the DTR-7.2. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

1. Connecting a turntable (PH)

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the turntable to the PH input jacks on the DTR-7.2. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The DTR-7.2 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 (CD)

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the compact disc player to the CD input jacks on the DTR-7.2. 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 (COAX) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) jack on the DTR-7.2 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the DTR-7.2, the CD input source is set for digital input at the OPT 1 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 34).

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

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

7.2and 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 (COAX) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) jack on the DTR-7.2 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the DTR-7.2, the TAPE input source is set for digital input at the OPT 2 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 34).

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DTR-7.2 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
