03 Connecting up
Connecting other audio
components
The number and kind of connections depends
on the kind of component you're connecting.
Follow the steps below to connect a CD-R, MD,
DAT, tape recorder or other audio component.
1 If your component has a digital output,
connect this to a digital input on the receiver
as shown.
The example shows an optical connection to
the DIGITAL OPT 1 (CD) input.
2 If necessary, connect the analog audio
outputs of the component to a set of spare
audio inputs on this receiver.
You'll need to make this connection for
components without a digital output, or if you
want to record from a digital component. Use a
stereo RCA phono cable as shown.
3 If you're connecting a recorder, connect
the analog audio outputs to the analog audio
inputs on the recorder.
The example shows an analog connection to
the CD-R/TAPE/MD analog output jack using
a stereo RCA phono cable.
Note
1 Note that you must connect digital components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like
an MD) to/from analog components.

About the WMA9 Pro decoder

This unit has an on-board Windows Media
Audio 9 Professional (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so
it is possible to playback WMA9 Pro-encoded
audio using a coaxial or optical digital
connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-
compatible player.
However, the connected DVD player, set-top
box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro
format audio signals through a coaxial or
optical digital output.
