Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting
Program Sources You can connect up to five 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 L (left) and R (right)
PHONO IN jacks. Then connect the turntable’s ground wire to the receiver’s SIG-
NAL GND 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
L and R CD IN jacks.
Connecting Cassette Decks
You can connect cassette decks to the VCR/TAPE 1 and TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks.
Connect the cassette deck’s output jacks to the VCR/TAPE 1 IN PLAY or TAPE 2
MONITOR IN PLAY jacks, and connect the cassette deck’s input jacks to the VCR/
TAPE 1 OUT REC or TAPE 2 MONITOR OUT REC jacks.
You can connect a third cassette deck (for playback only) to the DVD/LD IN
(audio) jacks.

rectly above, below, or to the left of the

the cassette deck’s operation. If possi-
ble, position the cassette deck to the
right or away from the receiver.
Note: Use shielded audio cables with
phono connectors for all audio connec-
tions.
