Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting Audio Components

To begin set up, connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections
and your analog audio components (cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components you want
to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for components
that only play you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use Digital source features you
must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs but it is also a good idea to hook up your digital
components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog
components, you must hook up your digital equipment with these analog connections. See p.11-12 for more on
digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is
disconnected from the wall outlet.
NOTE
• Only the VSX-D509S has S-video jacks and optical digital out jack.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Cassette deck placement

Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise may occur during playback of your cassette deck which
is caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck
farther away from the receiver.
