Connecting Your Equipment
Cassette deck placement
Depending on where the cassette deck is placed,
noise may occur during playback of your cassette
deck which is caused by leakage flux from the
transformer in the receiver. If you experience noise,
move the cassette deck farther away from the
receiver.
7 Audio cords
Use audio cords (not supplied) to connect the
audio components.
Connect red plugs to R (right)
and white plugs to L (left).
Be sure to insert completely.

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
Audio Components
To begin set up connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections
and your analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components
you want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for
components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs). To use
DTS or Dolby Digital surround sound features you must hook up your digital components to the digital inputs
(see p.13). We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks. If you want to record
to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog components you must hook up your digital equipment
with these analog connections. See p.13 & 14 for more on digital connections.
*The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
If your turntable
has a ground
wire, connect it
to the SIGNAL
GND terminal.
