Pioneer VSX-609RDS, VSX-709RDS

Set up

7 Audio cords

Use audio cords (not supplied) to connect the audio components.

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.

Connect red plugs to R (right) and white plugs to L (left).

Be sure to insert completely.

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.

• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
