Pioneer VSX-609RDS manual Connecting Your Equipment, Audio Components, Cassette deck placement

Connecting Your Equipment

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Audio Components

To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections and your analog audio components (cassette deck etc.) use these jacks. Remember that for components you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for components that only play you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use Digital sources features you must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs, but it is also a good idea to hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/ from analog components you must hook up your digital equipment with these analog connections. See p.9, 10 for more on digital connections.

• Only the VSX-709RDS has S-video jacks and optical digital out jack.

Cassette deck placement

Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise may occur during playback of your cassette deck which is caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck farther away from the receiver.
