04 Connecting up

Connecting audio components

To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks.
For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set
of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need
to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also hook up your digital components to analog
audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog compo-
nents. See page 17 for more on digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Connecting DVD 5.1 channel components
If you prefer to use a seperate component for decoding DVDs, you can connect a decoder or a
DVD player with multi-channel analog outputs to the multi-channel inputs of this receiver. Note
that the multi-channel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 ch is selected (see page 41).
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
