your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played
through the AV receiver in this way.

*4 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a built-in phono preamp to
TV/CD IN, or connect it to PHONO IN with the phono
preamp turned off. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have a
phono preamp, connect it to PHONO IN. If your turntable has
a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially
available MC head amp or MC transformer to connect to
PHONO IN. See your turntable’s manual for details.
If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV
receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the
ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens,
disconnect it.
*5 When you connect your personal computer to PC IN and select
the PC input selector, the video of the personal computer is
output from the HDMI outputs. However, if you have assigned
the HDMI inputs to the PC input selector, the AV receiver will
output signals received from the HDMI inputs instead of
signals from PC IN. To have the signals output from PC IN,
select “- - - - -” for “PC” in the “HDMI Input” setting
