Audio Component Hookups

Connect the analog line outputs of your audio components (SACD player, CD player, MD deck, DAT deck, tape deck, etc.) to the analog line jacks on this unit. If you have a component with balanced output capability, that component can be connected to the BALANCED LINE jacks on this unit.

Note

When making connections to a CD player (etc.) that has both balanced and unbalanced output capability, make connections to either the CD input jacks or to the BALANCED LINE jacks, but not both. Making connections to both inputs may lessen the quality of the audio output, or audio may not be output at all.

Required cords
