ANTENNA

These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM loop
antenna that are supplied with the TX-DS898.

AUDIO IN/OUT

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are eight audio
inputs and 3 audio outputs. The audio inputs and outputs require
RCA-type connectors.

• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure

you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to
VIDEO 3).

• The PHONO (PH) input jacks on the TX-DS898 is designed for

use with turntables that use moving magnet cartridges.

PRE OUT

These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifier.
Using auxiliary power amplifiers allows you to listen at louder
volumes than with the TX-DS898 alone. If power amplifiers are
used, connect each speaker to the corresponding power amplifier.

MONITOR OUT

The monitor output includes both composite video and S video
configurations. This output is for connecting television monitors or
projectors.

SPEAKERS

Seven terminals are provided for the front left, front right, front
center, surround left, surround right, surround back left, and
surround back right speakers. Speaker outputs are compatible with
banana plug connectors.

AC OUTLETS

The TX-DS898 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting the
power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied
through the TX-DS898. By doing this, you can use the STANDBY/
ON button on the TX-DS898 to turn on and off the connected
devices as well.

Caution:
Make sure that the total capacity of the other components connected
to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the rear
panel (e.g., 120 watts).

12V TRIGGER/ZONE 2 terminal

When the TX-DS898 is in the ZONE 2 mode, this terminal outputs at
12 V/100 mA.

ZONE 2 AUDIO/VIDEO OUT

Connect the device that will be used in the remote zone (Zone 2). For
more information regarding how to make the connections, refer to
“Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers” on page 21.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

If your DVD player or other device has component video
connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video
connectors on the TX-DS898. The TX-DS898 has two component
video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, P

B

, P

R

)

directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component
and one component video output connector to output it directly into
the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD
component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra
processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is
vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and
crisp detail.
