2 Installing and Connecting Up

Connecting other components
The CD receiver has analog audio inputs and an optical digital output for connecting
up other components. Possible uses for the analog inputs include sound from a VCR
or satellite receiver, a file-type (‘jukebox’)
CD player, or turntable (with suitable
phono amplifier). Use a standard stereo
audio cable (with RCA/phono plugs on
either end) to connect the
AUX / CD - R IN
(auxiliary input) on the CD receiver to the
AUDIO OUT sockets on the other
component. Be sure to match the colour-
coded plugs and sockets at both ends for
best results.
If you have a digital recorder equipped with
an optical digital input, such as a DAT deck, CD-R or MD recorder, you can connect it
to the CD receiver’s optical digital out for digital recording of CDs. If you didn’t get an
optical cable with your digital recorder, you can buy one from any good audio dealer.
Just above and to the left of the auxiliary inputs there is a socket labelled
FROM MODEL PDR-L77. This is for use with the optional CD-recorder only —
see the CD-R manual for more information on this.
Plugging in to the mains
After making sure that the system components and speakers are all connected
properly, plug in the power cable to the back of the CD receiver, and the other end to a
mains power outlet.
If you have the optional MD recorder, this has a separate mains lead which must also
be connected. In order to use the MD recorder, you must have both units plugged in.
Connecting external antennas
External AM antenna
Use 5–6 meters of vinyl-insulated wire
and set up either indoors or outdoors.
Leave the AM loop antenna connected. External FM antenna
Use 75
Ω
coaxial cable with a PAL-type
plug connector to hook up an external
FM antenna.
Outdoor type
Indoor type
4 4 Plug the supplied FM antenna into the FM antenna terminal.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t
drape loosely or leave it coiled up. The supplied FM antenna is a simple means of
receiving FM stations; using a dedicated, outdoor FM antenna will usually give you
better reception and sound quality. See below for connection details.
Note: The signal earth (
H) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an
antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety earth.
