AC INLET
Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET and then into the
power outlet on the wall.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the
TX-DS989. The power cord supplied is designed for use with
the TX-DS989 and should not be used with any other device.
• Never have the power cord disconnected from the TX-DS989
while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so
may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into
the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall
outlet first.
MULTI CHANNEL INPUT
By connecting a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component
that has a multi channel port, you can playback the audio with 5.1
channel or 7.1 channel output. So, be sure to prepare a cable that
can properly connect the TX-DS989 to the peripheral device.
• When using the PHONO jacks, remove the caps that cover
then and store them safely where they will not be lost.
Whenever the PHONO jacks are not in use, replace the caps on
them.
• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure
you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to
VIDEO 3).
• With LD players that have an AC-3RF terminal, connect the
audio source to the audio inputs of VIDEO 4 because only it
supports the AC-3RF settings during digital setup.
• The TX-DS989 is designed for use with turntables that use
moving magnet cartridges.

RCA type
Rear panel facilities
The MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is a DB-25 port and the TX-
DS989 is equipped provided with a DB-25-to-RCA 6-channel
cable. When making a multi-channel connection to a DVD player
or MPEG decoder, connect the DB-25 end of the cable to the
MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port on the TX-DS989 and RCA-type
ends to the ends of the cables connected to the other component.
The channel colors are shown below.

If the DVD player or MPEG decoder that you are connecting to is
provided with DB-25-to-DB-25 cable, then connect that directly to
the TX-DS989 and do not use the cable supplied with the TX-DS989.
When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws
on the DB-25 connectors.
RS 232
The RS 232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external
controller to control the operation of the TX-DS989 by using an
external device. The RS 232 port may also be used in the future to
update the operating software of the TX-DS989 so that it will be
able to support new digital audio formats and the like as they are
introduced.
GND
Use this GND terminal for connecting the ground (or earth) wire if
a turntable is connected. Refer to “Connecting a turntable” on page
18.
AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 10 audio
inputs (6 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs
(2 of which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are
nominally labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players,
turntables, and DVD players. To the audio jacks for VIDEO 1 to 5,
connect the audio output from VCRs, LD players, and other video
components. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type
connectors.
