Note:

•If your TV doesn’t have an audio output, connect your VCR’s audio output to the A-9377, and use your VCR’s tuner to listen to the TV.

Connecting a Power Amplifier

You can use the A-9377 as just a preamplifier and con- nect it to a more powerful power amplifier.

Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s PREOUT L/R jacks to the analog audio input jacks on the power amplifier, as shown.

Analog input jacks

*See page 14 if you need to connect several -capa- ble Onkyo components to the A-9377.

Note:

•If you have an RI Dock such as the DS-A1 or DS-A2, set its RI MODE switch to “HDD” or “HDD/DOCK.” Refer to the RI Dock’s instruction manual for details.

Note:

•Signals output by the PREOUT jacks are not affected by the A-9377’s Volume, BALANCE, BASS, and TREBLE controls.

•When the A-9377 is connected to a power amplifier, if the power amplifier is off and the A-9377 is used on its own, the sound may be distorted. To prevent this, always turn on the power amplifier, or disconnect it from the A-9377.
