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 switchable
turntable input which can also be used for line level
components (see PHONO/LINE Setup on page 80 for
more on this). 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.

wire), or if you want to connect a different line-level
component, refer to PHONO/LINE Setup on page 80
to switch this input to the LINE setting.
