Connecting analog audio sources

This receiver features four stereo audio-only inputs. Two
of these inputs have corresponding outputs for use with
audio recorders.
One of the audio inputs (PHONO) is a dedicated
turntable input which should not be used for any other
type of component. This input also has a grounding
terminal that most turntables require.
1 Connect the analog audio outputs of the source
component to a set of spare audio inputs on this
receiver.
• If you're connecting a tape deck, MD recorder, etc.,
connect the analog audio outputs (REC) to the analog
audio inputs on the recorder.

• Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the
connections.
• If your cassette deck has a monitoring function,
connect it to the TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks on the rear
panel. See Monitoring your recording on page 75 for
more on this.
2 Turntables only: Connect the stereo audio outputs
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 (no grounding
wire), connect them to the CD inputs instead.
