•Connect any other components (such as an iPod1 dock or a portable audio player) to the AUX inputs in the same way.

2Connect the analog outputs of your tape deck (or other recorder) to the TAPE inputs (IN) on this receiver. Then connect the audio inputs on the tape deck to the TAPE outputs (OUT) on this receiver.

This will allow you to make recordings from the components connected to this receiver. Use stereo RCA phono cables as shown.

3Turntables only: Connect the audio outputs of your turntable to the PHONO inputs on this receiver.

•If your turntable has a grounding wire, secure it to the ground terminal on this receiver.

•If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e., it has a built-in phono pre-amp), connect it to the AUX inputs instead.

•Make sure the MM/MC switch is in the proper position. If the sound of the turntable seems loud and distorted, or overly soft, try switching the setting.
