Hookups
■When making analog hookups
When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the
color-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the
components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to
White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid
hum and noise.

If you have an amplifier with balanced input connectors
Connect the amplifier via the BALANCED connectors using
the cannon connector XLR-3-32 or equivalent (not
supplied). The balanced connection is hardly affected by
external noise and often used by professionals in studios
and the broadcasting stations.
Cannon connector XLR-3-32 or equivalent
(not supplied)
a) To plug in the cormector, fit these positions and insert
the connector firmly.
b) To detach the connector, pull the connector out while
pressing this lock button.
After making connections, set the BALANCED OUT
switch on the rear to ON. When you don't use the
balanced output, set the switch back to OFF.
■When making digital hookups
You can avoid deterioration of the signal during
transmission, since the music signal output through
the digital output connectors retains digital form.
You can connect a digital component such as a
digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD. When
you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital
recordings from CDs.
Note that you cannot use fading in or out function
(page 16) when making this connection.
If you have a digital component with an optical digital
input connector
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)
connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off
the cap and plug in the optical cable.
