Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Program Sources You can connect up to five external program sources to your receiver at one
time.
Connecting a Turntable
Connect a turntable with a magnetic cartridge only. Some older turntables use a
ceramic-type cartridge that does not work with this system.
Connect the turntable’s left and right cables to the receiver’s left and right
PHONO jacks. Then connect the turntable’s ground wire to the receiver’s GND
terminal.
Connecting Cassette Deck(s)
You can connect cassette decks to the VCR/TAPE 1 and the TAPE 2 MONITOR
jacks. Connect the cassette deck’s output jacks to the VCR/TAPE 1 IN (audio) or
TAPE 2 MONITOR PLAY jacks, and connect the cassette deck’s input jacks to the
VCR/TAPE 1 OUT (audio) or TAPE 2 MONITOR REC jacks.
You can connect a third cassette deck (for playback only) to the LD/DVD IN
(audio) jacks.
Connecting a CD Player
To connect a CD player to the receiver, connect the CD player’s left and right
output jacks to the receiver’s
L and R CD IN jacks.
Note: Use shielded audio cables with
phono connectors for all audio connec-
tions.
Note: If you place the cassette deck
directly above, below, or to the left of the
receiver, the receiver could interfere with
the cassette deck’s operation. If possi-
ble, position the cassette deck to the
right of the receiver or locate it away
from the receiver.
