Connecting AV Components

Types of Connection Cables and Terminals

In addition to the conventional terminals, the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E has various terminals that are capable of next-
generation digital transmission.
Before connecting AV components to the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, make sure that your cable type matches the ter-
minal shape and the signal type and that the cable length is appropriate for the placement of your connected components.

*The audio input signal from the ETHERNET (Net-Tune) or MULTI-CH IN terminal will not be output to the HDMI
OUT terminal. Also, the DVD audio or SACD audio input signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal will not be output
to the HDMI OUT terminal.
When you play a source in the remote zone (Zone 2 or Zone 3), the following restrictions are applied.
• When you play the audio signal from Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio format sources through the i.LINK (AUDIO)
interface, the audio input signal from these sources will not be output to Zone 2 or Zone 3. With this connection, you
cannot record from these sources.
• When you play the audio signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) interface in Zone 3, only the PCM signal will be output
as an analog source to the AUDIO OUT terminals. Similarly, with this connection, you can record only the PCM sig-
nal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.
• The audio input signal from the LAN port will be output only to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source.
• When you play the audio signal from the PH or AUDIO IN terminals in Zone 3, the input source will be output only
to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source. Similarly, in this connection, you can record only the audio signal
as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.

The connection using these cable types trans-
mits digital audio signals. There is no sound
quality difference among these cable types.
Note:
Some optical cables have their own covers.
Before making a connection, remove the cov-
ers. When plugging in a cable, be sure to match
the connector shape with the terminal shape.
Each optical terminal on the TX-NR1000/
TX-NR5000E has its own shutter-type cover.
For the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E, plug in the
optical cables so that the optical cable connec-
tor pushes the terminal cover down.
This connection transmits an analog audio sig-
nal. Plug the red connector (R) into the right
channel terminal and the white connector (L)
into the left channel connector.

The terminals for this cable type are for DVD
players that are compatible with the DVD-Audio
format. This connection transmits multichannel
SL
analog audio signals.
SBL
This connection can be used for connecting
i.LINK (AUDIO)-enabled devices and to transmit
digital audio signals. Also, multichannel analog
audio signals from DVD-Audio or Super Audio
CD format sources will be transmitted digitally.
The TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E handles only
audio signals through i.LINK connection.
The Ethernet cable is used for connecting multi-
ple PCs or network-ready audio components
that constitute a local area network (LAN). A
( Net-Tune )
LAN is a smaller network composed within a
house or building. The connecting terminals for
the Ethernet cables are often called "LAN port"
or "broadband port."
