03 Connecting your equipment

Connecting other audio components

This receiver has both digital and analog inputs, allowing you to connect audio components for playback.
This receiver features five stereo audio-only inputs. One 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.
Most digital components also have analog connections.
When you set up the receiver you'll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the component to (see also The
Input Setup menu on page 44).
• If you're connecting a recorder, connect the analog
audio outputs to the analog audio inputs on the
recorder.
Turntables only:
• 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 CD inputs
instead.
