Cassette deck
(with REC monitor)
If your turntable has a
ground wire, connect it
to the (signal ground)
terminal.
The illustration is not applicable to the UK model.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
Audio Components
To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections
and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components
you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for
components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use
DTS surround sound features you must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs but it is also a good
idea to hook up your digital components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record to/from digital components
(like an MD) to/from analog components you must hook up your digital equipment with these analog
connections. See p.10, 11 for more on digital connections.
The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
7
Audio cords
Use audio cords (not supplied) to connect the audio components.
Cassette deck placement
Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise may occur during playback of your cassette deck, which
is caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck
farther away from the receiver.
Connect red plugs to R (right) and white plugs to L (left).
Be sure to insert completely.
