CONNECTIONS

Connecting audio components

Notes

To make a digital connection to a component other than the default component assigned to either the DIGITAL INPUT jack or the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack, select the corresponding setting for “Option”, “Optical Output”, or “Coaxial Input” in “I/O Assignment” (see page 96).

Connect your turntable to the GND terminal of this unit to reduce noise in the signal. However, you may hear less noise without the connection to the GND terminal for some turntables.

The PHONO jacks are only compatible with a turntable with an MM or a high-output MC cartridge. To connect a turntable with a low- output MC cartridge to the PHONO jacks, use an in-line boosting transformer or an MC-head amplifier.

When you connect both the DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack and the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack to an audio component, the priority is given to the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) jack.
