Connections

Note

*1 When the USB input is selected, you can input video signals from the VIDEO jack. Video signals input from VIDEO will be output from the MONITOR OUT and HDMI output jacks.

*2 Do not connect the AV receiver’s USB port to a USB port on

your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the AV receiver in this way.

*3 Only the front-panel USB input is compatible with iPod/iPhone.

*4 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have it, you’ll need a commercially available phono preamp.

If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.

•With connection C, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To listen in Zone 2/3 as well, use C and F.)

•With connection F, you can enjoy audio from external components while you are in Zone 2/3.

•With connection F, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to connect the main stereo.

Connect your components to the appropriate jacks. The default input assignments are shown below. See “Connection Tips and Video Signal Path” for more information (➔ page 89).
