• The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the “Input Assignment” setting (p.119) in the “Setup” menu. As necessary, you can assign the COAXIAL (a, b, f) and OPTICAL (c, d, e) jacks to another input source.

• Before connecting XLR balanced cables, refer to the instruction manual of your audio device and verify that its XLR jacks are compatible with the pin assignments of the unit (p.23).

If you select the input source by pressing AV 1–4, AUDIO 1–4 or PHONO on the remote control, the audio played back on the audio device will be output from the unit.

When connecting a turntable

The PHONO jack of the unit is compatible with an MM cartridge. To connect a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge, use a boosting transformer.

Connecting the turntable to the GND terminal of the unit may reduce noise in the signal.
