Connecting your audio components
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the TX-DS989. Refer to the diagram on pages 16 and 17 for the following connection examples.
1. Connecting a turntable
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the turntable to the PHONO IN jacks on the TX- DS989. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-DS989 is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.
2. Connecting a compact disc player
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the compact disc player to the CD IN jacks on the TX- DS989. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the compact disc player has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS989, the CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL 1 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).
3.Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminals (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE 2 IN jacks on the TX- DS989 and the input terminals (REC) to the TAPE 2 OUT jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 depending on the type of connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS989, the TAPE 2 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 2 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).
If the device also has a digital input jack, it can be connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 for recording of the signal from the input source selected at the TX-DS989.
4.Connecting an MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminals (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE 1 IN jacks on the TX- DS989 and the input terminals (REC) to the TAPE 1 OUT jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 depending on the type of connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS989, the TAPE 1 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).
If the device also has a digital input jack, it can be connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 for recording of the signal from the input source selected at the TX-DS989.
Connecting your video components
Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the TX-DS989. Refer to the diagram on pages 16 and 17 for the following connection examples.
The flow of the video signals is as follows: the signal that comes in from VIDEO IN is sent to VIDEO OUT, the signal that comes in from S-VIDEO IN is sent to S-VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT, and the signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO IN is sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.
If only the video connection for the MONITOR OUT is made, even if the input from each source component is through a component video connection, the picture will not appear. If only the S-video connection for the MONITOR OUT is made, the picture will not appear.
5. Connecting a DVD player
Using an RCA-type video connection cable, connect the video output terminal (composite) on the DVD player to the DVD VIDEO IN jack on the TX-DS989. If there is an S-video output terminal on the DVD player, connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN jack using an S-video cable. If the DVD player has component video outputs, connect them to one of the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks.
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the DVD player to the audio DVD IN jacks on the TX-DS989. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the DVD player has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the TX-DS989 depending on the type of connector on the DVD player.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS989, the DVD input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 3 jack. If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the OSD Menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup → Digital Input (see page 34).
