Front panel aUX input

The front panel

AuX

input can be

used as an analogue or optical

digital input.
For analogue sources, use a stereo

3.5mm lead; for digital sources

use a 3.5mm optical lead. The

front input is also used for the

auto-setup microphone input.

Phono

This input can be connected

directly to a record deck

which has a direct output

from a moving magnet (MM)

cartridge.

MCH input

This multichannel analogue

audio input can be connected to

a source device which outputs

surround sound on its analogue

outputs. Such devices typically

include DVD-Audio and SACD

players. This input does not

pass through any of the audio

processing in the unit, therefore

functions such as speaker size

and distance from the listening

position should be copied from the Setup menus into the

Setup menus of your multichannel source. Note however

that speaker level trims are applied to the MCH input

on the unit. Therefore speaker level trim settings on

multichannel source equipment should be left unset at

zero.

analogue pre-amplifier outputs

All pre-amplifier analogue outputs are buffered, have a

low output impedance, are at line level and follow the

Zone 1 volume control setting. They are able to drive

long cables or several inputs in parallel if required.
For more information on connecting speakers or

additional power amplifiers, see page 18 and 47.

analogue record

outputs

VCR OUT, PVR OUT, TAPE OUT
Connect the left and right

outputs to the left and right

input sockets of your cassette

deck, PVR or VCR (usually labelled ‘

RECoRD

’). The PVR

and VCR connectors may be used for a second and third

cassette deck. These outputs are fixed at full line level.

analogue audio

inputs

TAPE, CD, AV, DVD, SAT, VCR,

PVR
Connect the left and right

inputs to the left and right

outputs of your source

equipment.

Front panel PHonES socket

This socket accepts headphones with an impedance

rating between 32

and 600

, fitted with a 3.5mm

stereo jack plug. The headphone socket is always active,

except when AVR600 is muted.
When the headphone jack is inserted, the speaker

outputs and analogue pre-amplifier outputs are

automatically muted.
