Connecting audio devices (such as CD players)

Connect audio devices such as CD players, MD players, and a turntable to the unit.
Depending on the audio output jacks available on your audio device, choose one of the
following connections.
• The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the "Input Assignment"
setting (p.140) in the "Setup" menu. As necessary, you can assign the COAXIAL (c, d, e) and OPTICAL
(a, b, f) 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.29).
• If you make more than one audio connection for one input source, an audio signal played back on the unit
will be determined according to the "Audio Select" setting (p.111) in the "Option" menu.

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.
