Connecting AV Components

Types of Connection Cables and Terminals

In addition to the conventional terminals, the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E has various terminals that are capable of next- generation digital transmission.

Before connecting AV components to the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, make sure that your cable type matches the ter- minal shape and the signal type and that the cable length is appropriate for the placement of your connected components.

Note:

 

 

 

 

Some optical cables have their own covers.

 

 

 

 

Before making a connection, remove the cov-

 

 

 

 

ers. When plugging in a cable, be sure to match

 

 

 

 

the connector shape with the terminal shape.

Each optical terminal on the TX-NR1000/

 

 

 

TX-NR5000E has its own shutter-type cover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, plug in the

 

 

 

 

optical cables so that the optical cable connec-

 

 

 

 

tor pushes the terminal cover down.

the Ethernet cables are often called “LAN port”

 

 

 

 

or “broadband port.”

*The audio input signal from the ETHERNET (Net-Tune) or MULTI-CH IN terminal will not be output to the HDMI OUT terminal. Also, the DVD audio or SACD audio input signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal will not be output to the HDMI OUT terminal.

When you play a source in the remote zone (Zone 2 or Zone 3), the following restrictions are applied.

When you play the audio signal from Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio format sources through the i.LINK (AUDIO) interface, the audio input signal from these sources will not be output to Zone 2 or Zone 3. With this connection, you cannot record from these sources.

When you play the audio signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) interface in Zone 3, only the PCM signal will be output as an analog source to the AUDIO OUT terminals. Similarly, with this connection, you can record only the PCM sig- nal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.

The audio input signal from the LAN port will be output only to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source.

When you play the audio signal from the PH or AUDIO IN terminals in Zone 3, the input source will be output only to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source. Similarly, in this connection, you can record only the audio signal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.
