Connecting Your Equipment

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 DTS or Dolby Digital surround sound features you must hook up your digital components to
the digital inputs (see p. 13). We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio
jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components (like a CD-R) to/from analog components you must
hook up your digital equipment with these analog connections. See p.13 & 14 for more on digital
connections.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC wall outlet.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
7 Analog audio/video cords
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to make
analog audio and video connections.
7 Coaxial cords/Optical cables
Commercially available digital audio coaxial
cords (standard video cords can also be
used) or optical cables (not supplied) are
used to connect digital components to this
receiver.
When you use optical digital input or output
terminals, pull off the caps and insert the
plugs. Be sure to insert completely.

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.
