CONNECTING PROGRAM SOURCES

Note: Use shielded audio cables with phono connectors for all audio
connections.

You can connect up to four external program sources to your
receiver.

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)

(right)

PHONO

jacks. Then connect the turntable’s ground

wire to the receiver’s

GND

screw terminal.

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

and

jacks.

Connecting a Cassette Deck

You can connect a cassette deck to the

TAPE

MONITOR

jacks.

Connect the cassette deck’s output jacks to the

PLAY

jacks, and

connect the cassette deck’s input jacks to the

REC

jacks.

Connecting Another Audio Source

Connect the audio outputs of another audio source, such as the
audio from a laser disc player, TV, or VCR to the

AUX

jacks.

CONNECTING THE ANTENNAS

In many areas, the supplied indoor AM loop and FM antennas
provide satisfactory reception.

AM Antennas

Assemble the supplied AM antenna’s base by swinging the base in the
direction of the arrow and inserting the antenna’s bottom tabs into
the base’s slot. If the receiver is in a rack or on a shelf and there is no
room for the AM loop antenna, use two screws (not supplied) to
mount the base on the wall or another location as shown.

Attach the antenna wires from the AM loop antenna to the AM and

GND

(ground) ANTENNA terminals.

Place the antenna on a flat surface and rotate it for the best AM
reception.

Notes:

• Keep the AM loop antenna connected even when you use

another indoor antenna or an outdoor AM antenna.

• Ensure that the antenna does not touch the receiver or any other

metal object.

• Do not place the antenna near a CD player, a personal computer,

or a TV set.

• If the wire between the AM loop antenna and your receiver is

too short, you can add extra wire, available at your local
RadioShack store.
