Onkyo TX-SR601 - Manual (Page 16)

Connections
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various components to the TX-SR70J/701E/601/601E. There are many ways that any one
component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only one option
and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as those of your
components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.

Connecting your audio components
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio
components to the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Refer to the diagram
above for the following connection examples.
IN/OUT (analog audio)
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are seven
audio inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio
inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.
DKilTAL INPUT/OUTPUT
On the rear panel of the TX-SR701/70IE/60I/601E, there are one
coaxial digital input, two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital
output (TX-SR701/701E only), and one digital output. To the
digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players, or
other digital soui'ce component. To the digital outputs, connect MD
recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.
• Since an analog connection must be made when using REC
OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input
source is not digital only, but analog as well.
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use an
optical hber cable.
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E.
Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack
and the right channel to the R jack.
If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either
the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR701/70JE/601/601E depending on the
type of connector on the compact disc player.
With the initial settings of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E, the
CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack
(COAX).
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be
changed at “Input Setup” “Digital Input” (see page 52).
2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO) (TX-SR701/701E only)
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable
to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E. Make sure that
you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right
channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-SR701/701E is designed for use with moving magnet
cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to
the GND terminal. For some tui'ntables, however, connecting the
ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a
ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.
3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or
CD recorder (TAPE)
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR701/701E/601/
601E and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE
OUT audio jacks of theTX-SR701/701E/601/601E. Make sure that
you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right
channels to Che R jacks.
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN
COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OFFICAL jack of the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E depending on the type of connector on the device.
With the initial settings of the TX-vSR701/701E/601/601E,
nothing is ailocated as the digital input source for TAPE (—).
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the
appropriate changes at “Input Setup” “Digital Input” (see page
52). ■

If the device has a digital input, connect it to Che DIGITAL
OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E for digital
recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR701/
701E/60i/601E.
Note:
The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of Che TX-SR701/701E/
601/601E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jack.
