Connections

Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have connected all your devices.

This section focuses on the connections from your 200-Disc CD Changer to the KRF-X9995D. Please refer to your changer’s instructions for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.

Each set of instructions in this section shows one of several possible variations on connecting your CD player(s). For further assistance on optional configurations, contact the store where you purchased your CD player(s).

The illustration shows a Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changer. Your CD player may look different.

The Kenwood DPF-J9030, DPF-J9020 and DPF-J9010 200- Disc Changers contain two CD transports. You must connect these devices as though they were two CD players.
