CD player

Initially, the DIGITAL IN OPT 1 input is assigned to the CD input source. If you connect your CD player to a dif- ferent digital input, you’ll need to assign that input to the CD input source (see page 45).

Using Analog Connections

Even if your CD player is connected digitally (coaxial or

optical), to use , or to record audio from your CD player, you’ll need to make analog audio connections as well.

Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the DTR-8.4’s AUDIO CD IN L/R inputs to the analog audio outputs on your CD player, as shown.
