Connecting Antennas - Pioneer A9 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting up
• Connect any other components (such as
1
an iPod dock or a portable audio player) to
the AUX inputs in the same way.
2 Connect the analog outputs of your tape
deck (or other recorder) to the TAPE inputs
(IN) on this receiver. Then connect the audio
inputs on the tape deck to the TAPE outputs
(OUT) on this receiver.
This will allow you to make recordings from the
components connected to this receiver. Use
stereo RCA phono cables as shown.
3 Turntables only: Connect the audio
outputs of your turntable to the PHONO
inputs on this receiver.
• If your turntable has a grounding wire,
secure it to the ground terminal on this
receiver.
• If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e.,
it has a built-in phono pre-amp), connect it
to the AUX inputs instead.
• Make sure the MM/MC switch is in the
proper position. If the sound of the
turntable seems loud and distorted, or
overly soft, try switching the setting.
