Preparing Your Receiver
Connecting Program Sources You can connect up to six 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 and right
PHONO 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
CD jacks.
Connecting Cassette Decks
You can connect cassette decks to the VCR/TAPE 1 and the TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks.
Connect the cassette deck’s output jacks to the VCR/TAPE 1 IN (audio) or TAPE 2 IN
PLAY jacks, and connect the cassette deck’s input jacks to VCR/TAPE 1 OUT (au-
dio) or TAPE 2 OUT REC jacks.
You can connect a third cassette deck (for playback only) to the LD/SAT IN (au-
dio) jacks.

Use shielded audio cables with phono
connectors for all audio connections.
Note: If you place the cassette deck
directly above, below, or to the left of the
receiver, the receiver could interfere with
the cassette deck’s operation. If possi-
ble, position the cassette deck to the
right of the receiver or locate it away
from the receiver.
