Connecting analog audio components

To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks. For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also 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. See page 16 for more on digital connections.

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet.

• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Tip

•If you don’t plan on using the spare audio jacks for video components (for example, VIDEO1), you can use these for connecting another audio component, like a line-level turntable.

Connecting multichannel analog components

If you prefer to use a separate component for decoding multichannel formats such as DVD Audio and SACD, you can connect a decoder or a DVD player with multichannel analog outputs to the multichannel inputs of this receiver. Note that the multichannel input can only be used when MULTI CH IN is selected (see page 37).

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet.
