Connecting the DX-C390

Audio Connections

•Read the manuals supplied with your other audio equipment.

•Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio connections.

The DX-C390 has analog and digital (coaxial and opti- cal) audio outputs. The digital outputs offer the best audio quality, so if your digital recorder or amp has a digital input you should use it.

ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT

If your hi-fi amp or AV receiver doesn’t have a digital input, use the supplied RCA/phono audio connecting cable to connect the DX-C390’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to your amp’s analog CD inputs.

Notes:

•RCA/phono audio connecting cables are usually color coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect right- channel inputs and outputs, and use white plugs to connect left-channel inputs and outputs.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

If your CD-R, MiniDisc, or DAT recorder has a digital input, use a commercially available coaxial or optical fiber digital audio cable to connect the DX-C390’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT to your recorder.

You can also use the digital outputs to connect to an amp that has a digital input, for the best audio quality.

Notes:

•With MP3 tracks, the digital outputs only work if the sampling rate is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

•The OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO

OUTPUT has a dust cap for keep-

ing out dust and dirt when it’s not in use. Remove the cap before connecting an optical fiber cable.

Push the plug in all the way to make a good connection. Keep the dust cap in a safe place for future use.
