audio inputs on this receiver.

You’ll need to make this connection for

components without a digital output, or if you

want to record from a digital component. Use a

stereo RCA phono cable as shown.

3 If you’re connecting a recorder, connect

the analog audio outputs (REC) to the analog

audio inputs on the recorder.

The example shows an analog connection to

the CD-R/TAPE/MDanalog output jack using

a stereo RCA phono cable.

connect it to the digital output on the receiver

as shown.

Use an optical cable to make this connection.
