Connecting Your Components

Before Making any Connections

Always refer to the instructions that came with the component that you are connecting.

Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been properly made.

Do not bind audio cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the sound quality.

To prevent interference, keep power cords and speaker cables away from the tuner’s antenna.

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right- channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs. (TX-8522)

Connecting a Turntable

The receiver’s PHONO input jacks are for use with moving-magnet (MM) type cartridges.

Use an analog audio cable to connect the receiver’s PHONO L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on the turntable, as shown.

AUDIO OUT

Ground wire

Notes:

If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to receiver’s GND terminal. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case it should be disconnected.

If the turntable has a moving-coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC phono preamp. In this case, connect the turntable to the phono preamp’s input, and connect the phono preamp’s output to the receiver’s PHONO L/R jacks.

Connecting a CD Player

Use an analog audio cable to connect the receiver’s CD L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on the CD player, as shown.
