Front panel aUX input
The front panel AuX input can be
used as an analogue or optical
digital input.
For analogue sources, use a stereo
3.5mm lead; for digital sources
use a 3.5mm optical lead. The
front input is also used for the
auto-setup microphone input.

Phono
This input can be connected
directly to a record deck
which has a direct output
from a moving magnet (MM)
cartridge.
MCH input
This multichannel analogue
audio input can be connected to
a source device which outputs
surround sound on its analogue
outputs. Such devices typically
include DVD-Audio and SACD
players. This input does not
pass through any of the audio
processing in the unit, therefore
functions such as speaker size
and distance from the listening
position should be copied from the Setup menus into the
Setup menus of your multichannel source. Note however
that speaker level trims are applied to the MCH input
on the unit. Therefore speaker level trim settings on
multichannel source equipment should be left unset at
zero.
analogue pre-amplifier outputs
All pre-amplifier analogue outputs are buffered, have a
low output impedance, are at line level and follow the
Zone 1 volume control setting. They are able to drive
long cables or several inputs in parallel if required.
For more information on connecting speakers or
additional power amplifiers, see page 18 and 47.

analogue record
outputs
VCR OUT, PVR OUT, TAPE OUT
Connect the left and right
outputs to the left and right
input sockets of your cassette
deck, PVR or VCR (usually labelled ‘ RECoRD ’). The PVR
and VCR connectors may be used for a second and third
cassette deck. These outputs are fixed at full line level.
analogue audio
inputs
TAPE, CD, AV, DVD, SAT, VCR,
PVR
Connect the left and right
inputs to the left and right
outputs of your source
equipment.
Front panel PHonES socket
This socket accepts headphones with an impedance
rating between 32 Ω and 600 Ω , fitted with a 3.5mm
stereo jack plug. The headphone socket is always active,
except when AVR600 is muted.
When the headphone jack is inserted, the speaker
outputs and analogue pre-amplifier outputs are
automatically muted.
