AC INLET

Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET and then into the power outlet on the wall.

Power cord (supplied)

To an AC wall outlet

The MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is a DB-25 port and the TX- DS989 is equipped provided with a DB-25-to-RCA 6-channel cable. When making a multi-channel connection to a DVD player or MPEG decoder, connect the DB-25 end of the cable to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port on the TX-DS989 and RCA-type ends to the ends of the cables connected to the other component. The channel colors are shown below.

•Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the TX-DS989. The power cord supplied is designed for use with the TX-DS989 and should not be used with any other device.

•Never have the power cord disconnected from the TX-DS989 while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall outlet first.

MULTI CHANNEL INPUT

By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel output. So, be sure to prepare a cable that can properly connect the TX-DS989 to the peripheral device.

DVD player or MPEG decoder

If the DVD player or MPEG decoder that you are connecting to is provided with DB-25-to-DB-25 cable, then connect that directly to the TX-DS989 and do not use the cable supplied with the TX-DS989. When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws on the DB-25 connectors.

RS 232

The RS 232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the TX-DS989 by using an external device. The RS 232 port may also be used in the future to update the operating software of the TX-DS989 so that it will be able to support new digital audio formats and the like as they are introduced.

GND

Use this GND terminal for connecting the ground (or earth) wire if a turntable is connected. Refer to “Connecting a turntable” on page 18.

AUDIO IN/OUT

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 10 audio inputs (6 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs (2 of which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are nominally labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players, turntables, and DVD players. To the audio jacks for VIDEO 1 to 5, connect the audio output from VCRs, LD players, and other video components. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

RCA type

•When using the PHONO jacks, remove the caps that cover then and store them safely where they will not be lost. Whenever the PHONO jacks are not in use, replace the caps on them.

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

•With LD players that have an AC-3RF terminal, connect the audio source to the audio inputs of VIDEO 4 because only it supports the AC-3RF settings during digital setup.

•The TX-DS989 is designed for use with turntables that use moving magnet cartridges.
