Connections

Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. There are many ways that any one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as those of your components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.

Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

IN/OUT (analog audio)

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are seven audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT

On the rear panel of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, there are one coaxial digital input, two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital output (TX-SR701/701E only), and one digital output. To the digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players, or other digital source component. To the digital outputs, connect MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.

Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.

When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical fiber cable.

1.Connecting a compact disc player (CD)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. 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, connect it to either the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack (COAX).

If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be changed at “Input Setup” “Digital Input” (see page 52).

2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO) (TX-SR701/701E only)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The TX-SR701/701E 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.

3.Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder (TAPE)

Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/ 601E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/ 701E/601/601E depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, nothing is allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).

If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate changes at “Input Setup” “Digital Input” (see page 52).

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E for digital recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR701/ 701E/601/601E.

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/ 601/601E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jack.
