Chapter One : Connecting Your Devices
Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck, continued
Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have
connected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your MD re-
corder or tape deck to the VR-4090/VR-4080/KRF-V7773D.
Please refer to your MD recorder or tape deck's instructions
for more detail about its connection jacks and capabilities.
Each set of instructions in this section shows one of several
possible variations on connecting your MD recorder or tape
deck. For further assistance on optional configurations, con-
tact the store where you purchased your MD recorder or
tape deck.

To Connect an MD Recorder:

1. Connect the audio cable from the MD recorder's Play
OUT jacks to the receiver's MD/TAPE1 PLAY IN jacks as
shown to the left.
2. Connect the audio cable from the MD recorder's Rec IN
jacks to the receiver's MD/TAPE1 REC OUT jacks, as
shown to the left.
3. (VR-4090 only:) When the MD recorder has digital jacks,
connect digital (coaxial or optical) cables between the
MD recorder's digital jacks and the receiver's MD/TAPE1
digital jacks, as shown to the left. (Although the figure
shows both the coaxial cable connection and optical
cable connection, use either connection in actual case.)
When connecting a digital optical cable, remove the pro-
tect covers from the optical jacks.
You only need to connect to the digital out jack if you
will be recording from sources that are connected to a
digital in jack, such as a CD or DVD player.
4. If you are connecting a Kenwood MD recorder, connect
the system control cable from the MD recorder to the
receiver.
If you are connecting more than one Kenwood device
with a system control cable, see "What if I Have Several
Kenwood Devices (System Control Chaining)?" on
page 32 for more information.
5. Go to "Noting Your Devices" on page 3 and note which
jacks you used to connect your MD recorder. In addi-
tion, note the brand name and model number of the
MD recorder.

To Connect a Primary Tape Deck:

1. Connect the audio cable from the tape deck's Play OUT
jacks to the receiver's MD/TAPE1 PLAY IN jacks as shown
to the left.
2. Connect the audio cable from the tape deck's Rec IN
jacks to the receiver's MD/TAPE1 REC OUT jacks as
shown to the left.
3. If you are connecting a Kenwood tape deck with system
control, connect the system control cable from the tape
deck to the receiver. Be sure that the SL16/XS8 switch
on the tape deck is set to SL16.
If you are connecting more than one Kenwood device
with a system control cable, see "What if I Have Several
Kenwood Devices (System Control Chaining)?" on
page 32 for more information.
4. Go to "Noting Your Devices" on page 3 and note which
jacks you used to connect your tape deck. In addition,
