*1

Connect a turntable (MM) that has built-in a phono preamp to TV/CD IN or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono preamp turned

 

off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a phono preamp, connect to PHONO IN. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car-

 

tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to PHONO IN. See your turntable’s man-

 

ual for details.

 

If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire

 

may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

*2

When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select PC input selector, video of the personal computer is output from

 

HDMI OUT. However, because the AV receiver selects the video input in the order of HDMI > component > analog RGB, if you

 

have assigned HDMI IN to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will output signals from HDMI IN in priority to PC IN.

To select the multichannel input, select the BD/DVD input selector and see “Audio Selector” (59). To adjust the subwoofer sensi-

 

tivity for the multichannel input, see “Subwoofer Input Sensitivity” (44).
