Rear panel facilities

PRE OUT

These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifier.

Using auxiliary power amplifiers allows you to listen at louder volumes than with the TX-DS898 alone. If power amplifiers are used, connect each speaker to the corresponding power amplifier.

ZONE 2 AUDIO/VIDEO OUT

Connect the device that will be used in the remote zone (Zone 2). For more information regarding how to make the connections, refer to “Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers” on page 21.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the TX-DS898. The TX-DS898 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, PB, PR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

ANTENNA

These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM loop antenna that are supplied with the TX-DS898.

AUDIO IN/OUT

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are eight audio inputs and 3 audio outputs. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

•When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to VIDEO 3).

•The PHONO (PH) input jacks on the TX-DS898 is designed for use with turntables that use moving magnet cartridges.

RCA type

MONITOR OUT

The monitor output includes both composite video and S video configurations. This output is for connecting television monitors or projectors.

The TX-DS898 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied through the TX-DS898. By doing this, you can use the STANDBY/ ON button on the TX-DS898 to turn on and off the connected devices as well.

Caution:

Make sure that the total capacity of the other components connected to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the rear panel (e.g., 120 watts).
